The Hitching Post Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Florida

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’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...

My husband and I were at a campsite at lake mills Park for a week, stopped in the first day grabbed a bite to eat and a few beers. Service was RUDE! Like us being there was just unwelcoming. Tried it again spend $80 this time the bartender Kara was great. Stopped in again.. The bartender screamed at us for going the wrong was in to sit. The people that go there are mostly locals, if you aren't one is like your money has no value there. We will never go...

We are on vacation and someone suggested this place. Met some pretty cool locals and the bartender was great! Some drunk chic randomly walked in and started screaming profanities and trying to start a fight with just about anyone within reach (later found out she also works there, I sure hope the owners won’t tolerate that kind of behavior!) and the employees handled it very well. Other than that, it was...
