    Fantastic live music venue/bar and excellent vibe. The bar staff and bar manager are amazing, friendly and welcoming. Such a great place, we've been coming here since 2018 and made some wonderful memories since then. I've also had 2 private functions here, our sons Stag night and our sons 21st. The Bar Manager - Martina is wonderful, always there to make sure you are happy.

    Perfect place for a quiet night out, first date or a dance. I've been coming here for a few years and the place has really changed for the better in the last few months! The staff are always friendly and the music is always a highlight.

    Bob & Jay are killer mixologists with so much knowledge about cocktails and music. Great crowd and community. 10/10 place to hang after 9pm!

  • 4/5 Bette F. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely staff - very friendly and helpful! A very cool atmosphere with great live music. There are some sloe moving coloured lights on stage (which is much nicer than the fast moving lights - so that didn't bring on any migraines or seizure like some other music venues!), which I appreciated. Good drinks. The only downside is it isn't wheelchair accessible - there is a step to enter. I didn't go upstairs so I am unsure if there is a lift or if it is a stair case. You cam tell that they're really passionate about live music and especially original music. I'd definitely return.

    A really special place. If you’re local or just passing through, here’s a bar where you can be yourself - meet interesting people (both staff and patrons) and enjoy a good drink in a great atmosphere. The people who work here make it magical, and you can spend a lot of time at the bar enjoying all the trinkets with the bottles on the wall. There’s art on the walls (some by the amazing artist Anthony - who if you’re lucky might be there to serve you an amazing drink) and musicians and artists who perform. Definitely a great spot! While I wish I lived nearby to frequent this spot - I’m glad that I don’t, because I would. A lot.

    Always ended up having good time in Baxters Lot, great music and staff are the kindest. Shout out to Jill and others. Not to mention the musicians are very talented. Woody - thank you so much, I'm your number one fan.

    Cool bar with live music downstairs and a DJ upstairs on weekends. Under new management and the place has really picked up! Keep it real!

    What an awesome cosy atmosphere with live music, a cool wacky light show, great drink selection, and friendly staff...definitely a must do for a drink or few.🤙

    One of my favourite bar in Melbourne. Free-entry live music every day which is amazing. Cozy, small, a great bar to catch up with your friends, enjoy music and even a dance. The bartenders seemed very happy were dancing to the music while working, I loved it.

😐 Food tastes great 👍 they sure love their spices and I like the kick of it. Fish and pork tacos were great but chorizo taco wasn't good because of the rubbery texture skin. It was unpleasant to eat. Corn chips were a bit stale and guacamole was bland. Service was okay. We gave the feedback to a sta...
