Saddle Up American Bar

Stole credit cards from the group and refused to look into the matter. Management responded with kicking people out for asking the bar tenders a second time to look for cards.
Just shitty service, respectable establishments don’t mistreat your method of payment then force your out before closing.

Nice place to watch a game. At midnight they have $ 1 fireball shots! Lots of college students. Had a good time

If you want to get some drinks at good prices come here after you go to the parks come here. there’s a lot of local students who come here but anyone can fit in this place just come positive and good vibes it’s a must … remember $ 1 fireballs at 12 midnight for 5 minutes take advantage

Was kinda disappointed. Everyone talked about how it was just like cowboys with a dance floor. Sorry but this place can’t compare to cowboys. Their dance floor is really small. To me it is more like a bar. But the place looked great and it was very clean. It would be a good bar to go to downtown if you like country music.

Believe it or not, Reno has more country than Orlando. We have a lot of ranches nearby and a while back a lot of people around here worked on ranches. In Reno, we do line-​dancing. I didn’t see any line-​dancing in downtown Orlando. The dance floor here was pretty small. They had a live guitar player. It was an okay bar with a narrow back bar and then the front bar had the mini-​stage and mini-​dance floor.

If your looking for some country music, inexpensive drinks, beer pong, darts and bull riding. this is your place! I came here two weeks ago for the first time to meet a friend and it was a decent place. Good country music and drink pours. The bar is spacious and does not have much seating, so be prepared to stand all night. It’s definitely nice to see a diverse music scene up and down Orange Avenue. It was a Tuesday night so the bar was a bit empty but perfect evening as I caught up with a friend. The bartender was nice and attentive. Not much else to say as it was my first time. Warning: Do not come here if your not a fan of country music.

really enjoyed our time here! cheap drinks & I’m a sucker for any place with darts :)

I teeter between a 3 or a 4-​star for this place. Have stopped in here quite a few times while walking to the Wall Street area. I agree with some of the reviews on here that say the music is quite loud. It is. But, it’s been great music every time I’ve been there. It’s a lot more tolerable if you are sitting outside. That being said, they pour a great drink, you definitely get your moneys worth and they have some cool games to play and a few different bar areas. It’s fun to have a bar that plays a little country and lets you do some dancing. To bring home the music/​noise/​people issue, it’s not anything worse or more annoying than the crowd can get in the Wall Street area.
Being in my early 30’s (or maybe more towards mid??) I feel some nights like I’m at the older age of the patrons in there and some nights it seems to be a 30’s crowd. I’d say it’s pretty evenly spread out as far as age groups go. Everyone seems to be having a good time when I’ve been there. I haven’t really been able to categorize what groups tend to frequent this place more. It seems to be a pretty diverse crowd and everyone seems to get along. I have noticed it seems to be a place where people end up getting pretty hammered but that’s not uncommon for the area.
Overall if you’re in downtown there’s nothing about this bar that should steer you away compared to any others. If anything it’s nice to have a break from the gangsta rap, g-​funk crap that some of the other bars play and hear some good old country music.

Me and My friends go every time we come to Orlando. This is a great place to stop in and have a few drinks with your friends and relax.

Sadly, I’ve been here twice. I am not sure why. I keep thinking it would be as fun as an actual honky tonk, but it is not. Cheesey music, cheesey people. This place just doesn’t really fit in in the neighborhood, as Ibar and the gang are across the street.
And I’m no hipster that’s too cool for country music. I’ve lived in Nashville, the country music capital of the world, and know my way around a Luke Bryan album. There’s just something completely off here.

The music they play here is awesome. Atmosphere is what you would want from a country bar plus some. Staff is courteous, drinks are reasonably priced, and the girls don’t hurt.

The Orlando Seminole Alumni Club is hosting FSU viewing parties this year for the first time, naturally since football season has begun I had to check it out. The bar is huge, three different rooms. That said, there isn’t a lot of sitting room, be prepared to stand when you go to Saddle Up. If you’re not a fan of country music you may not like this place because that’s all they play. Though I’m not a big country music fan it does remind me of college, good times in Tallahassee & great fun with friends. I don’t think I would go to this place outside of FSU games, but in all, not terrible.

I’m consistently surprised at how country Orlando is, and this is pretty country. As far as I can tell based on having never lived in the South. (DC isn’t part of the South in my book besides being below the Mason-​Dixon Line). Either way, this place is a lot of fun. There’s a dance floor for the line dancing inclined and supposedly they teach lessons every Wednesday. There’s another room with 2 pool table and during not so busy nights they make one of them a ping pong table. Nothing more country then table tennis in my books. The crowd is your typical downtown Wall Street crowd so UCF students are in abundance

Love the music and atmosphere. Good, comfortable country bar. They need to maintain the games though if they are going to have them. We just happened to walk in by chance and I’m really glad we did!

Great place for drinks and a night out with your friends! Awesome bartenders & good music. They have shuffleboard too which is an added bonus. A guaranteed blast for anyone looking for a fun time downtown.

We loved it! If you like good music and a fun time this is it! We also loved all the games around the bar. We have been back a few times and always best bar in Orlando. You won’t be sorry you partied here!

This place sounds /​looks like it should be in Sanford or Seminole County. It’s extremely terrible music amplified at a level that makes you not even able to think. The bar takes up ½ a city block on Orange Ave. and sadly the place is extremely gross. This is your typical sports bar awkwardly out of place and expect this terrible business to die before they make it to 6 months.
I will never walk on this side of the street (Orange Ave.) again, let alone spend a dime here.

Nice place but the music is just insanely loud. It’s really not fun to have to scream into someone’s ear just to talk. They have a mechanical bull in Wednesday nights. Not really any great drink specials and the well liquor is disgusting, even for well liquor. You would think it would be a country bar but the music is totally random.

I’m not a fan of any type of country music so I won’t knock stars for this place catering to that crowd but I’ll review based on the location and atmosphere of this place.
The place is divded up into couple parts. One part straight bar the other part dance floor. I’m assuming that the dance floor is there for line dancing so it’s definitely wide open and I’m sure many folks will have a grand olé time here! The music was modern enough I guess. They line up all the bars and dance floors with TVs so you’re never going stop being stimulated. The aura of this place was booming when I stopped by for a crawl so it’s fair to say that on a busy night this place will be hopping!
For those who are hard core country fans, this is your oasis in Orlando! For the rest of us it’s cool to check out but if country isn’t your thing… than there will be much better options off Orange Ave.

I am not a big country music lover, but I had a blast at this bar! I was also excited to see it apart of the Orlando Pub Crawl. They advertise never a cover so definitely a plus! The bar is broken up into different sections, a bar with chairs all around, outdoor patio, a middle area, and a big dance floor with another bar. Lots of tvs line the walls showing sports. What I enjoyed most was that they didn’t play super twangy songs… I like the more popular country and country rock type songs. There is line dancing that I definitely want to check out! I wish there was more detailed info on their website, too, but all around had a good time!
