Baxter's Sports Bar Reviews | Mill Creek Restaurants & Bars

Not sure why people are bashing on Baxters. It's classic hole-in-the-wall dive bar with no fancy promotions or gimicks. I've lived in Mill Creek for over 20-years and Baxters has been there for as long as I can remember! Â I came for a UFC pay-per-view and surprisingly, there were still seats 45-minutes into the event.. lucky us! No cover, reasonably priced beer on draft a TON of TV screens including 3 projectors. There really isn't a bad spot in the house if you're trying to catch a big game or fight. I'll defintely be coming here for future fights - can't beat free cover!

Food isn't anything special and overpriced in my opinion.

If you're looking for a "poppin" bar scene I'd go elsewhere.

We go to Baxters only because a buddys band plays there. No cover charge on weekends is a Â plus but the drinks were always weak and sometimes so is the beer.

The only good time to go to Baxter's is on Friday or Saturday nights. They have cover bands that play every weekend which is always fun for just some laid back, humorous entertainment with friends! There is always some pretty interesting people to chat with and people watching is always good!

Okay, so if you are looking for a fancy bar with fancy drinks, this isn't the place. Its pretty much a homey dive bar but if you are looking for some friendly people or laid back night with a few friends you can make a good night out of Baxter's!

Bar snobs beware, this place will not fulfill your needs.

Place is just dirty and depressing. It's dark, damp, and cold. Bartender is awesome, and if you are looking to ruin your liver, this is your spot! Drinks are poured so strong, don't light a cigarette while holding your drink for fear of spontaneous combustion!

Know going in that you aren't going to leave the place sober, in all probability you will be the only person in there, and it's a total dive with the clientele to match. Keep all that in mind, and you might have a decent time. Remember, when all else fails, drink more!

Everytime I walk into this place, I get depressed. The look, the feel, the crowd, all depresses me. They get two stars for having plenty of HD tv's for the sports games.

Made it to Baxter's this evening, as the snow first began falling here, for a first date.

There aren't very many places in the Northend to meet up to start an evening, and certainly not many bars. The other half of the duo of the evening used to hang out here many years ago, so from his traveling point, he knew where it was.

It was sooo dead while we were here. Not suprising for the area, even on a Saturday, or in this weather,

Compared to any Seattle dive bar, this place is huge. Wrap around bar, booths, seperated seating areas, bars and stools along every wall, and three fully partioned off pool tables, darts, video games, jukebox, and a scattering of those table video game things (find the picture/whatever).

We tried the shooting video game, played a few games of pool, messed around with the jukebox (which is really way too expensive).

I had a few rum and cokes. The first sip of the first one and I thought I was going to catch fire. It was lovely. The bartendress was quick to point out they use higher level booze on tap than most bars, and then spit out a list of brand names for each. I don't care what it was, honestly, cause lady knows how to make a drink.

We tried the nachos, chicken strips and fries as part of our evening from the basic menu here. Nothing superb, all very basic bar food, but it was all good. The chicken strips were some of the better I've had in a bar, and the fries were the 'skin on' type and good.

They host karaoke, live bands, and run the gamet for featuring sports games on quite a few big screen TVs.

For the evening though, after a few hours of the above activities, we opted to walk around the area outside in the snow to keep the evening going.

We'd run out of things to do in a bar with barely a soul in it and the atmosphere of 'big empty sports bar' didn't really lend itself to intimate conversation.

I'd be interested in checking out Baxter's again for karaoke or to see a show. I can imagine it's also a good time when it's a lively night.

Baxter's only real claim to fame is Karaoke, which if I'm recalling happend on Wednesday and Sundays . Â Other than that, it's kind of weird dive place with horrible drawings of Cher on the side. Â The place always gave me the creeps a bit, but some people really like it.
