Darkhorse Tavern will close its doors after more than 20 years in State College. The tavern announced on social media Monday that July 15 will be its last day of operation.

"After many years in the hospitality industry, the previous owner has decided to retire," a statement on Facebook read.

The statement went on to thank the tavern's patrons, employees and vendors. Located at 127 E. Calder Way, Darkhorse served a variety of beer, mix drinks and food.

Owners of the tavern could not immediately be reached for comment.

The announcement follows a string of recent closures in downtown State College, including the All-American Rathskeller and the upcoming closure of Herwig's Austrian Bistro.

To Our Valued Patrons, We, at the Darkhorse Tavern, wish to THANK YOU for your support and patronage over the past 20-plus years. Thank you for choosing us as a place to come have a pint, a laugh, or a plate of wings. A place to watch the game or listen to music. Without your support, we would not have these wonderful memories spanning the past two decades. But, as they say, all good things must come to an end. After many years in the hospitality industry, the previous owner has decided to retire. The LAST DAY OF OPERATION for the Darkhorse Tavern will be July 15th 2018. To our patrons, current and former employees, vendors and everybody who has called the Darkhorse theirs, we raise a pint to you. It has been a pleasure serving you for the last 20 years. Thank you. Humbly, The Darkhorse
