Muldoon's Saloon has been an east Orlando institution for decades. And after over forty years,…read moreMuldoon's Saloon announced they are closing. I have been coming here since I moved to Orlando back in 2001 and it was always a great place to grab a few drinks, enjoy the live music and the friendly service. I am going to miss Muldoon's Saloon.

Have you ever gone to a place and thought to yourself, this place could be so much better if they…read morewould just do...this? Well, Muldoons is that bar for sure. Muldoons has that blue collar, biker bar vibe which is cool. The beer is cold and the people are friendly. I love that they have live music outside but that outdoor area needs a little help. The blue tarp flappin in the wind behind the stage needs to go. The indoor bar is super smokey but if you're not bothered it's no big deal. All in all if you're in the mood for local music and a beer Muldoons is worth a visit.

Had an early morning follow-up doctor's appointment the other day and received the news everyone…read morewants to hear, a clean bill of health and a "keep doing what you're doing." Naturally, I celebrated by heading to Hideaway for breakfast. While I'm not a regular, I've been visiting Hideaway for years. The original location across the street had a classic smoke-filled dive bar atmosphere, and I could tell stories all day about memorable experiences there. Those stories are best saved for another time. The new location is unquestionably an upgrade in comfort and appearance, though it lacks some of the character and smoke that made the old place so memorable. Fortunately, the things that matter most remain intact. The beer is still ice cold, the drinks are solid, and the food is consistently above average at prices that are hard to argue with. This particular morning, I grabbed a seat at the bar and took advantage of their $5 breakfast burrito (available before 9 AM). The menu lists bacon or ham as protein options, but I was also offered sausage, which I happily chose along with the eggs and cheese. I'm glad I did. The sausage was nicely rendered with crisp edges that delivered little flavor bombs throughout the burrito. Wanting to dress things up a bit, I asked for pico de gallo. My server laughed and replied, "This is a dive bar," before offering salsa instead. Fair enough. The salsa, combined with a generous squeeze of their hot sauce, turned out to be exactly what the burrito needed. In fact, it was so good I briefly considered ordering a second one to go. Then I could practically hear my doctor whispering in my ear, advising restraint, so I reluctantly passed. For those unfamiliar with Hideaway, it's also a major Miami Dolphins fan destination. Whether you're a Dolphins fan or not, I highly recommend experiencing one of their game-day watch parties at least once. The atmosphere is electric and one of the more unique sports-viewing experiences around. My only minor gripe was being charged an extra dollar for the small container of salsa, and it wasn't even pico de gallo. Not enough to ruin an otherwise enjoyable visit, but enough to earn a raised eyebrow. Overall, a great breakfast, a little nostalgia, and a fitting way to celebrate a positive doctor's visit.

One of the best truly "dog friendly" spots in Orlando. They have doggie cookies and bowls on deck,…read moreand a dog menu including seasonless and bunless burgers and hot dogs, chicken breast and more. Each time we've brought our pup there's been 2-3 other really well behaved dogs hanging out at a table with their owners. We love getting to bring our boy out to hang with us! Side bar- the human food is delicious too! Burgers, sandwiches, wings, quesadillas and the likes. If you get there early enough for breakfast be sure to order the biscuits and gravy - you won't regret it! They have a wide selection of beer and liquor, and even have NA Stella or Heineken, which I enjoy.

We decided to stop in here after lunch to enjoy one of the great Spring days in Orlando (which are few and far between as you locals know!) The outdoor area, with lush plants, a water feature, good shade trees and tables with umbrellas allow you to sit back and enjoy a perfect Spring afternoon. The wrap around bar area is spacious and covered. Cool retro music is always playing here. We were again served by Andy and Noah! They are two of the hardest working servers in the business. In fact, every one of the servers at this spot seems to up their game, possibly due to the great vibe of this outdoor bar. We had several drinks throughout the late afternoon and evening and just enjoyed the music and the chill atmosphere. We ordered edamame (nicely seasoned with spices) and chicken fingers (very good) during the evening given the big lunch we had earlier. This place is such a good time! Now that I discovered it though my friends, I think I will become a regular here, especially when the weather cooperates.

Classic dive bar…read more All the ingredients: scroungy-looking older dude sitting at the end of the bar playing solo pool; a couple of friendly, well-worn older ladies chain smoking while busily chatting each other up; gruff-looking stocky construction dude sitting next to his skinny af tatted-up gal friend and silently staring everyone down; the pleasant late-50's/early-60's dyed-blonde bartender carrying more than a few extra lb's while efficiently serving the whole place all by herself; and the silent owner constantly walking all around the bar without seeming to ever sit down in one place for more than 5 minutes. Nice and reliable spot to drop in to start early working up a cheap buzz on our way to one of our usual 'nice places'. We like dive bars. A lot. This place is perfect.

Everything was decently priced in comparison to other dive bars. I was also impressed by the level of service from our bartender (shout out to Ed!!!).

This was my first visit to G's Lounge. Honestly, they were never on my radar but I won a $25 gift…read morecard at an event and decided to stop in while out-n-about shopping on a Sunday afternoon. There is a decent amount of parking; however, spots are not clearly marked outside the perimeter of the building so make your own spot if you need to. They have a covered patio in front of the building where customers can relax. The bar has seating for 12-15 people and there are more high-tops spread throughout the remainder of the barroom. The bar area has been recently remodeled; however, the restrooms look to be original. If there is any remaining funding for another upgrade, I recommend starting there. The only staff member working tonight was Jason and he was great. He honored my gift card and took great care of us. G's Lounge is definitely a local's hangout. Everyone that was here knew each other and had been coming here for years. Nancy and I were welcomed with open arms and one of the patrons even bought us a drink, what a guy! Something you need to know if you do plan to visit here is that they allow smoking inside the bar and the majority of the customers that are here come here because drinks are cheap and they can smoke inside. The bartender offered to open a large exhaust vent on the wall to ventilate the smoky air during our visit, which I appreciate, but I didn't want to impact all the other customers comfort by filling the room with humidity. Overall, I had a great experience at G's Lounge. Drinks are relatively cheap, staff and guests all were very friendly, there's a cigarette vending machine inside the bar, Jukebox, and some games to play if you're killing some time, and they have several monitors for watching the big game. I would certainly come back again but next time I will bring a cigar to enjoy while we hang out.
