I mean, if you wanna feel like "wow I'm not doing THAT badly huh?" This is your spot! The only redeeming quality is this one DJ that gets the place going named Ruben, but honestly WHY DO PEOPLE COME TO THIS MISERABLE PLACE? Beer is just at cheap at the dive bars on Vine, honestly try coaches for a real dive bar read more

Mad Hippo Saloon - Recipe - Sports Bars Near Me - Kissimmee, Florida

What a wonderful experience my girlfriend and I had yesterday at The Mad Hippo! Dana our bartender was spunky, attractive, informative and attentive. The customer sitting near us Rick Eddy is a local fixture who was friendly and cool and made us feel like a friend right away. One of the owners Eddie was funny and a legendary character. The interior of the bar was amazing with killer pool tables, a large bar with great tv's and even had a real nice stage! Outside seating and fresh air made it feel very comfortable. Happy hour beer to quench my thirst! Now my favorite part .... The Food.... I love bar food and was pleasantly surprised by the great prices. Lisa got the chicken quesadilla it was perfect , nice and thick and delightfully flavorful with salsa and sour cream on the side. I took Dana's advice and went for the HippoBurger. I'm still in Burger Heaven. It was huge and absolutely delicious. Didn't even need cheese! The fries that came with it were crunchy and the best I've had. Of course I had to try the Portuguese dessert, a custard filled pastry that was a wonderful surprise. Great texture and flavor. 2 of them for about $3.50 . Such a great deal I got two more for the road and had one of them for a midnight snack. I live in a tourist area near Ocean City, Maryland and we have hundreds of restaurants. Damn, I wish I could move this place up there. Great job guys and girls keep up the good work. Jonesy is a very happy man!!! Like Arnold says,"I'll be back!" read more

Holy crap. What a downgrade. I used to come here all the time, when it was under the different ownership and a different name. There used to be lighting. Now the place is half dark and wreaks of cheap tobacco. They filled pool tables up in the back, and some genius decided to put the dart boards directly in front of the front door. I sat for 8 minutes, soaking in the humidity, after the bartender made eye contact with me and decided I wasn't worth the trouble. By the looks of the place, I'm guessing showering isn't the target demographic. Never going back to try a bite or a drink. I'll just remember it fondly, when ringworm wasn't so potential of a treat. read more

This place is a DUMP!! The owner has his dog running around everywhere even the KITCHEN!! The bathrooms are disgusting Their long employed waitress Christy Gonzalez only caters to men...she's too busy catering to the pool players only charging them for one drink while she's served them 6 so that they can tip her extra.... She's desperate for money so watch out for your man because she's definitely ready to earn extra money on the side All info provided I've not only witnessed myself but told by my husband who is a regular pool player on a league that plays there GO ELSEWHERE..... you're welcome read more

Not a bad place, has outdoor seating which is nice! Lots of pool tables and video slots, and apparently there is live music on some days.

Great place but don't expect frills. Local hangout we were lucky to find. Service is excellent. Pool tables. Prices are very reasonable. The house salad is large, fresh and great with balsamic vinaigrette. Very good. We went several times. We liked the burger. The wings were also good. Onion rings were good but not consistent visit to visit. Good coated fries. Philly steak sandwich was remarkable. read more

I really like this place. My job constantly hosts conference at the Embassy Suites across the street. We usually go on Karaoke Thursday night, which is a really good time. The drinks are strong and wings are prepared to perfection. It's pretty much a whole in the wall but well loved by the locals. The bathrooms are decent. The bar tender last night brought me a cup of coffee because she thought I had a headache when I was sitting at the bar. How sweet is that? Hospitality at its finest and you don't see service and care like that all the time anymore. read more

Mad Hippo Saloon - a hippo sitting in a chair - Sports Bars Near Me - Kissimmee, Florida

I don't recommend this location. This is certainly a biker-bar. There was a group of pool players in the back who looked like being attended to more than us at the table. We ordered food and I did not enjoy mine at all. The bathrooms were one of the grocery I've ever seen, and it smelt so bad. I was really disappointed, I was really looking forward to the location but definitely will not return. read more

Dive bar with mediocre bar food.....equals fantastic. Pool tables, crappy bands..... my favorite spot in Kissimmee.

So here quick and dirty on this spot. Pros: The bartenders are super friendly and the prices for alcohol are great! Cons: everything else. Don't eat here, you probably get sick, hold tour breath when you go to the restroom, filthy. read more

Nice little Florida bar. The owner was there hanging out with his guests making sure they felt welcome. The locals were very cool. Drinks were priced very reasonably. Oh and the food was great. Check it out if you're in the neighborhood. You'll have a good time. read more

Awesome spot! Best pool players I've ever seen! Christine (bartender) is very nice and they have the best Chili! Live music and karaoke is always a plus! read more

This was a go to for a bachelor party. And we had an odd experience at a different bar. This staff here was very friendly. We actually got drinks served to us in an awesome timely manner. We had tried to go to a rum bar at a resort. And had an off the wall experience we googled for other venues and Hippo came up and seemed more to our liking. Pool tables. Karaoke. And darts. This place out beat a 5 star resort rum bar as far as guest service and quality. I hope this place stays open and inviting for a very long time. read more

We visited this location weekly when it was the Red Dog Pub which is no more. MHS just opened yesterday so we decided to check it out. On opening night... they didn't have chips and salsa which was on the menu. ??? This should be one of the easiest things to provide. We got the garlic cheese curds instead and they were really good, and mostly the reason i gave two stars instead of one. I ordered the turkey club sandwich and what I got was a barely toasted turkey and cheese sandwich. No layers, no bacon, no lettuce, no tomato. Literally just a turkey and cheese sandwich on white bread. Since MHS just opened, i can understand they may not have all ingredients, but I wish they would have told me they couldn't do the club sandwich, since I paid $9.50 for something that wasn't even close to what i ordered. My husband got chicken wings and said they were just okay. Bartenders were friendly enough and drinks were reasonably priced. A lot of draft beer options. We'll probably give this place one more try in a few weeks to see if they get their stuff together a little more, before writing them off completely. We live only 5 minutes away and its nice having a very local hangout. read more

Football Sunday, the place was busy. Waitress did a great job keeping up. Food was good. Would recommend. read more

I was in town for a small vacation and tried the place out. Bar tender was very friendly. I tried the smoke brisket ravioli and it was absolutely delicious. I also tried the hippo wings with the buffalo sauce and it was also delicious. Highly recommend coming in and trying the food and getting a cold beer. read more

Would not recommend for tourists. We always like to try local bars when traveling and usually have a better time. My husband and I waited 20 minutes for two beers. A group of locals were playing a pool tournament. I understand it's common in pool halls, but it should not hinder everyone else's service. Our bartender (Cristy), did not even acknowledge us when we first arrived. She was more concerned with talking than working, in our opinion. My husband used the restroom while we were waiting and could not believe how unsanitary it was. We decided not to order food at this point. (I did not leave a food review for this reason) Our friends were about to join us, so we wanted to have a round of drinks waiting when they arrived. We noticed our bartender having a shot with the group of men playing in the tournament. At this point, I told my husband I would rather leave than wait another 15-20 minutes. Our group ended up going elsewhere. read more

I stumbled across this place driving through town. When we walked in the entire place smelled like cigarette. I went to wash my hands and a porta potty smelled better then there bathroom. The bartender with the Chicago hoodie walked over and asked what we wanted before she even said greeting . we asked for menu and she didn't come back over for 10 minutes and by then the male bartender came over took our order. He also wasn't very pleasant and had an attitude the entire time helping us. Also just so you are aware the food was not very good and there is a gratuity added on your bill of 20 percent. pretzel bites was burned and clearly overcooked. Also there Menu online is out of date there wings are $16 for 10. read more

We went based on reviews and left immediately. It was dirty, staff seemed a little under the influence of something (my opinion not a proven fact) I would not recommend. If I could I wouldn't give a star. read more

We stopped quick for a drink before a reservation elsewhere. I searched everywhere in this town for a Bloody Mary that didn't taste like pizza with lime! (No joke) Amazing bartender made me the best bloody I've had all week! awesome. Oh and hubby enjoyed his drink too. Staff was pleasant, the bar counter was clean (my arms didn't stick!) we didn't order food this time but kudos to the bar staff and their ability to mix a drink! read more

Drinks were great Christina was so mean thank god the other girl took care of us from the get go. Honestly just asked to cash out and she said well I wasn't expecting much from you being BLACKK tipped 80 bucks for the other girl out of respect. Tried to chill the vibe only to b told duck read more

Worst experience ever. Racist workers. Completely rude. The lady was awful. Didn't want to serve us and told us to go. Was such a great place went it was the Red Dog. Never thought I would be treated like that in 2021 at a place in Orlando. Forgot to mention that the one of the persons that treated this way was the manager. Or so she said. read more

Our first time there was on Super Bowl Sunday. The owner was selling raffle tickets, arms length $5, winner takes all. Ticket to be drawn before kick off. Kick off came and went with no number being called. I found the owner and asked him about it. He stated the winner was over in the opposite direction of where we were sitting. Funny we never heard the number drawn. We felt we were ripped off of $20. Proceeded to leave and the table next to us stopped us to tell us we left our raffle tickets. We stated that the owner told us there was already a winner. They also felt they were ripped off as they didn't hear a number called either. First and last time there! read more

Warning!! Been there several times when it was Red Dog it's since changed owners and the place is very sketchy! Some friends and I stayed until closing and just before the doors were locked we were rushed out the door with unfinished beers still in hand as other people were rushed indoors then locked. Been told since then to stay away because drug deals are happening there and with that kind of traffic there someone is likely to get shot or killed. A friend was approached in the bathroom and shown a backpack with drugs and the gun. Most recently they had cops called with gun shots just outside the bar, that same man from the bathroom was the gunman and identified by people inside the bar! I know several people in the music industry that will no longer play music there because of how bad it's gotten. read more

The food was delicious!!! The staff was so friendly and the owner Eddie was amazing. We went 3 times while we were in Florida. We were treated like family. We can't wait to come back next trip. Definitely worth checking it out. read more

Please call me a manager kicked me out after I told her that her friend got sick in the bathroom

Nice bar and good food. Drinks are over priced. A pint of Yeungling for $6. Jack Daniels special for $5 sounds good but I ordered it on-the-rocks and was charged $7.50. "Rocks cost extra" I was told. Why didn't you tell me that? I will never be back. read more

Karaoke was amazing!! Everyone was killing it, had a good vibe and great ambience. However, don't come for food, was highly disappointed. Server was cool and attentive. read more

We had dinner and drinks tonight the Ruben was to die for cold beers and a great wait staff. Love this place we will be back.

Terrible service! Waited 10 min with my empty glass in front of me while the bartenders were taking selfies. Despite of the terrible service, I still left over a 20 percent tip because I'm a bartender myself. As soon as I tipped they took the receipt from my hand with absolutely no thank you or any response at all for that matter. Terrible terrible terrible customer service ! Wish I could have put zero stars. read more

Seems to be overpriced for any drink other than beer. Food is below average compared to other places in the vicinity, granted We only had wings but I would recommend trying other places first before here as wings are far better elsewhere and these are easily prepared. Live music is a bonus and pool tournament if interested is worthwhile. read more
