    Wall of dollar bills
    Priscilla G.

    Such a cute, fun dive bar type of joint. Sad that it doesn't have more stars! We stopped here after a day of paddle boarding at Canyon Lake and got pizza, wings, and a bucket of mini beers. We got to talk to the owner for a little while which was a treat. If you have a chance to talk to him, highly recommend, he's a hoot! We'll definitely stop here again when back in AJ.

    First time ever eaten here I got the mow wings. The seasoning was phenomenal. It was great. Got about 10 to 12 wings. They weren't too spicy. The spice was a good level. The flavor was a good level. The only thing that was just a bit wild and crazy was a short little 68 ounce beer and a plastic cup was six dollars and my wings were $19 and I did ask about a side of ranch and that was two dollars which I found pretty crazy on a slow night. They do have bull riding here so I'd understand if they raise the price is doing bull riding but when it was a slow night with a house band Doesn't make sense to me to charge that much for wings in ranch and beer. Other than that, the service is awesome. Our waiter was awesome knowledgeable very friendly.

    What's fun stop for a cold beer after backpacking near Canyon Lake. The bar tender was great. He greeted us immediately and had cold beer in front of in minutes. The music was awesome too. While we didn't eat, the food looked great and we will stop again to try out the menu.

    I wish that I would have started by taking a picture before we devoured the Mo' Crack wings. We have a few to spare, it's in the photos, but damn. We came here 4 years ago, loved the place, but since then they have revamped into this absolutely gem of a place. If you're coming back from Ghostfield ghost town or if you just live in the area and are hesitant, don't be. Come down here, enjoy the food, the music and have a great time. Hands down, what a come back story. Bravo hitching post.

    This rude man who doesn't know laws just broke the law. I have a service animal and showed the documents and he said your dog doesn't look like a service animal you're a liar and don't know anything. 1. He broke the law 2. He called me a liar and isn't accepting of my disability and dog

    We absolutely love the hitching post for so many reasons. Decor - this is an old school indoor/outdoor bar. The walls are covered in animal heads and signed dollar bills. It is one of a kind from wall to wall. Buckets of cold beer and great bar food. They also serve some unique items like broasted chicken and friend gizzards. You won't find those at other bars. Plenty of staff keep the service efficient and attentive too. Lastly, live music sets it off on Fridays and Saturday. Just local bands but people turn out to dance and have a good time. No fights, drunks, etc - just locals having a good time. And hitching post is an appropriate name - you will often see a couple horses hitched out front while cowboys wet their whistle!

    Went on a Sunday evening. It wasn't too busy but still had live music. I think it was a band but it sounded like karaoke. We had the cactus pizza. The toppings and mozzarella cheese were good but the crust was like a bowling alley crust. They don't have free water. You have to buy bottles of water. The dollar bills on the wall show that they target a very specific like-minded demographic. These patrons are loyal trumpers.

    I drove by this place a lot and it did not seem like my vibe . But a neighborhood dweller told me…read morethey had to best burger so I had to try it. When we walked in we were glad to see some really good love music and the food was really fuckin good and the price point was perfect and the service was on point.

    Excited to see a new business who took the time, money, and likely hours upon hours to renovate…read morethis space. As a longtime resident of Apache Junction, I remember this location being the old Pizza Hut before they opened the new space. Hope this little tavern prospers in this space, and was surprised to see about a dozen patrons on a Thursday at 11am! A sign they are successful, and love to see it! What We Ordered: - Two Sodas: Served in a plastic, disposable cup. Definitely would make easy to walk around with or even to take to go if they have lids. I imagine this is convenient when a band is playing. - Burger Basket: On Thursdays, you can get this for $12 + drink. Even a beer or wine counts as an included drink! Definitely shocked to see that as that's a pretty good deal, though I went with a soda as on a lunch break from work. The fries were lackluster, but the burger was decent. Personally, there's a place nearby specializing in burgers, so I would likely not return for a burger here outside of it being on special (Thursdays). Overall, this space has been turned into a cozy little tavern. It may not be my venue of choice as it's pretty dark inside even during the day. As well as it serving bar food when I'm more of a pub girl myself. I'd still recommend if you are looking for a local tavern/bar in the Apache Junction area.
