Page 2 of 5 Inside, the bar area still shines with a minimalist Asian decor, and a collection of works by local artist Jeremy Charles Burns (www.jeremycharlesburns.com). Bold color studies of simple facial portraits that Mrs. Buzz and I found exceedingly engaging. The crowd leans a little older than you'd find in LoDo . . . and far more accessible. It's hip enough to be hip without making the tragically unhip feel completely unwelcome. The folks here are simply looking for a cocktail or two and some decent live music to enjoy.

"Growing Up" - Update from Johnny James Qualley - June 23, 2007
Well we have really put ourselves on the spot now. Since we married this place we couldn't seem to stop assessing it's shortcomings. Having operated the joint for so long it wasn't hard to identify the things that caused us the most pain.... The back room was a coffin like seating area that was only desireable when the place was full. The heat in the winter and the cool in the summer were not adding up. The bathroom situation, was a year round problem as well. Our kitchen was a sweat shop and we were the only joint on the mall without a patio. What to do... E X P A N D ! ! !
So we did. Wasn't fun but we put all the walls in the right places and got a few helpful nudges in the right direction from some old friends (Thanks Wynkoop, STILL FAMILY!). So off we go into the future with the beautiful additions of a new patio, new kitchen and an office that more than one normal sized human can stand in.
"Taking the Plunge" - Update from Johnny Jams Qualley - March 6, 2006
It has been eight and a half months since we took the joint over and as planned we have changed a few hats around the owners table. Tim Erwin, my main partner is now the Front of House Manager. Our long time Sous Chef Marsey Gibson is now Executive Chef. While Adam and I are taking the plunge and doing what we have dreamed about for years. Becoming full-time musicians. We have all the faith in the world in Tim, Marsey and our beloved staff to keep our long held standards high. In fact it will be no surprise if the Horse is taken to new heights.
Please read on and find out more about our history, it's an unlikely and beautiful one.
