During a recent stroll down East Gay Street today, Aug. 4, the WCDish team caught a grim sighting at The Pale Horse Gastropub. With newspapers bordering the front windows and the front entrance’s blinds drawn shut, this spot will not be one of your stops during tonight’s Swingin’ Summer Thursday celebration in downtown West Chester.
Recent unanswered phone calls placed at 5 pm on a Thursday also left us question if the dimmed dining room will remain dark permanently.
Owned and operated by young thirty-something friends, including chefs Andrew Vogt and Lloyd Francis, the Pale Horse has yet to reach its one year anniversary. Back in February, we detailed you about their premiering spot, one that was said to offer a “unique dining experience for anyone who is looking for a bold menu, great drinks, and is the perfect backdrop for a quick business lunch, a night out on the town, a private party or date night.”
The gang of the restaurant, passionate about serving up seasonally created dishes to the desiring public, was also known to use social media to parlay their weekly, and even, nightly specials. Their last Facebook status was placed on July 29, revealing that they would introduce “Four Hour Happy Hour to WC from 4:30 to 8:30pm, with $5 martinis, $5 house wines, $2 Miller Lite drafts, $3 well drinks and $1 Red Death shots!”
Don’t expect those specials anytime soon, folks. Stay tuned to WCDish for future developments on this story!
The Pale Horse Gastropub was located at 29 East Gay Street in West Chester or online at www.palehorsepub.com.
