Excellent restaurant. I just happened to wonder by and decided to go in for dinner. It was great and everyone in my party thought so too. The waiter was right on top of things and dinner came quickly. The restroom was clean. I would definitely go back.

Recently moved from the DC area to Alexandria and was looking for a place to watch the NCAA tournament. Stopped by here and had a great time. Bar is large and found seats quickly. Service and food were good and prices were reasonable. Will for sure be coming back.

It's a nice atmosphere but the drinks are very small pours and weak. Unfortunately, to get a decent cocktail, the bartenders charge for a double drink order and it ends up being $22-$25...this is disappointing.

Good place for a date. This place seems to have a lot of activities.

One of the staple places in the area with a very good menu and drinks options. There is live music several nights a week but it can get quite crowded on weekend nights.

Staff is incredibly rude. Asked a clarifying question on my tab and the bartender threw a tantrum like a 5 year

We visited The Light Horse while in Arlington for a conference. We found it by searching for great places to eat with good ratings and not part of a fast food chain. The service was wonderful and the atmosphere was relaxed. The burger and sweet potato fries were served hot and fresh. The dry rub chicken wings and bacon wrapped dates were also a hit. Highly recommended!

Well this was another joint that we did nearly no review prior to visiting but we clearly found a great spot. We had a larger group with us. I think 10 of us. Let's start with service. They did great, even with the larger group. Drinks stayed full and staff was very attentive. Now food. We all enjoyed our meals. But as for the wifey and I. I had the Grilled Cheese Cheeseburger - yum. Perfect as ordered. The wifey had the Brisket Grilled Cheese and tells me it was outstanding. Also perfectly cooked. I should mention the group also had appetizers but sorry folks can't remember all we had - but they were good. We absolutely recommend this place. Go and give it a try. I'm sure you will be happy.

Food is great, but next door Murphys has a little better atmosphere, worse food but I just like the vibe a little better a t Murphys. Light horse needs a little something to compete with thier neighbor.⁹Parking: Mostly street parking but if you're willing to walk a few blocks parking is accessible north of king
