Whatever you’re looking for,
you can find it here

Tattoo shop

Come get tatted with the sick work of our tattoo artists, whether you’re looking to get your first ink – or your 100th.

Coffee shop

Supreme coffee, rotating specials, chill environment, nice people, and you don’t have to go too far for a tattoo or haircut.

Barbershop

Our talented barbers are experienced with all hair types. We’re in the business of making you feel fresh and sexy.

Art gallery

Curated by Rich Samuel, the creative genius behind RichesArt Gallery, we feature the finest artists from Austin and beyond.

Creating impact with all who walk through our doors

Making you feel connected, empowered, and supported is the heart and soul of Dark Horse – as is our coffee, and tattoos, and haircuts, and art.

Life is simply too short for mediocrity

It’s hard to walk into our space and leave without a smile on your face. Hell, maybe we’ll even write you a poem about it.
