Another of King Street’s popular meeting places, The Light Horse Restaurant is two venues in one. Upstairs you will find a boisterous sports bar offering drinks, snacks and entertainment while downstairs there is a quieter restaurant perfect for date night dining. The menu features a good selection of classic American dishes, including choices for both small and large appetites. There are salads, soups and other appetizers to start with, followed by a choice of pastas, burgers and mouth-watering entrees and side dishes. You can order wines by the glass and there is a very large selection of bottled and draft beers and a fun list of cocktails.
