The Hitching Post Bar & Grill

Wish I'd made it to see yelawolf the other night. This was the spot !

Fun bar pool tables darts great staff

Just what you would expect of the local dive. Great bar food. 50/50 service. Sabrina and Ally are the BEST! Tamara, well everyone knows about her service.

I’ve visited before, but figured it give it a second go just to get a better feel for the place. Hitching Post definitely has a very specific clientele, while also taking advantage of being a within the greater Orlando area. The prices and service are what I’d expect from somewhere in downtown Orlando, but this location is far away enough that I assumed it would’ve been the opposite. I made a poor assumption.

Hitching Post focuses heavily on bottled beer and cocktails. If you’re interested in getting draft beer, you’re in the wrong place. I ordered a Budweiser and was given a cup that can hold about 10 ounces. I can’t tell you the last time I willingly paid 3 dollars for 10 ounces of the most average beer in America.

Hitching Post has two pool tables that are on par with APA standards, as well as multiple dart cabinets. There are several wide screen TVs that they can play sports on. There is also a TouchTunes “jukebox” inside. For those unfamiliar, you can play music from a wide array of music options, and there is an app available that lets you select songs remotely. Very cool.

The bartenders were very busy, and as a result were quite lacking in customer service. I’ve gotten drinks faster in packed nightclubs. I will say that it’s bewildering, but also impressive, that such a place was as packed as this on...a Tuesday night? I really am not sure if the dedicated clientele is passionate about their attendance because of the fact that this is the only bar consistently open until 2am for dozens of miles, or if because they really appreciate the prices and service. I’m going to go with the former.

I feel that Hitching Post really capitalises on the “rural” vibe that the area attempts to project, but while at the same time pricing things on the same level as that of a bar in Downtown Orlando. It’s a great place if you’re into wells cocktails and bottled beer.

Best place in town, good food good people. I LOVE THIS BAR
