Music is the worst. They play the same 2000-2005 songs no matter what dj is there. Haven’t heard a new song there in years. I could never be drunk enough to enjoy this place. Please stop giving these ppl your money.

This bar has usually been fun. However, I had a terrible experience with the security staff. Three of the male staff members said horrifying misogynistic degrading things about to women to my friend. They then threw a drink in our faces in their Baxters uniforms, after we tried to stand up for ourselves and other women. They continued to execute gender based hate speech. I am very displeased that this establishment entrusts incels with the safety of their patrons.

Literally male employees peeking in the bathroom opening doors before any females came in, my friend has medical issues and they were so disrespectful calling out names outside the bathroom, calling her diarrhea girl telling her to pinch it off when she has IBS. Clapped as she got out for staying 5 minutes after closing because of said issued. We were nothing but compliant and polite but theres nothing you can do when issues like that come. we are all human but no man should enter a woman’s bathroom harassing us calling out disrespectful names. Thinking we were all drunk entering a bathroom is not a smart choice when we know the laws. Would give 0 stars if i could.

IU/Purdue watch party.Got here early so I could check this place out.Had a chance to talk to the bartenders and management.Great people.Nice Happy hour.Checking out their Sandwich and appetizer menu.Nice selection.looking forward to a festive evening.

The drinks are extremely watered down, the bartenders pour 4 drinks at a time before they even give you yours. There’s no music playing outside. The dj plays music from 10 years ago. Overall not the vibe.

Baxter’s should be called bastard’s, that’s what management really portray. Why would this establishment promote an 18 and up Open Mic party then literally have security walk around, pointing kids out hollering about “you gotta leave”. GTFOH. The manager knows the law, failed to communicate and tried to be passive aggressive and capitalize on our kids. I hate to be the more aggressive parent that raises hell and put management in their place but tonight; it prevailed. I DO NOT PLAY WHEN IT COMES TO DISRESPECT. THIS PLACE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT “THEY” WERE DOING! NOT TONIGHT!

Only had 3 drinks, bartender skipped over me 3 times. When I said something about getting skipped the bartender called security on us and got us kicked out for no reason I will never be back worst service I have ever had

I've not been out in about 7 years. I was surrounded by college age kids, and a few adults. It was a Saturday night. . . The crowd was thick. And the women; young and foolish if I must say. . . Lots of young people drinking and trying to impress each other. . . Have mercy. . . I like the drinks!!! The menu before it gets later in the night is decent. In the past I went on Wednesdays. . . But phoenix Hill was still alive in those days.

MUSIC IS TRASH!!!! Absolute trash. They play music from literally the 2000s all night.. nothing current or recent..why? drinks were strong and the employees were all kind, love the patio in the back.

If you like to go somewhere where fights break out (an all out brawl) then Baxters is for you. However if you are a decent hardworking citizen who expects a peaceful evening out I suggest you spend your money elsewhere.

Visiting my boyfriends best friends in Kentucky. We went out bar hopping, and this is where we ended the night. This place was very fun we danced the night away I had a couple of dance offs and I told the dj that it was my birthday so I could get some say on the songs being played😉 only thing that did suck was the restroom situation 😒 I hate waiting in long lines but that just comes with the night life activities everything is a long line including waiting at the bar to. Cover was 10dollars cash only there is a ATM inside. I am not sure about the food 🤔 I didn't see anyone eating either so couldn't say anything about the quality of it.

Wow what a place. Great food. Live music. And a dance floor where people actually love. Great location. Believe it or not there is actually parking very often on Bardstown. Was there on a Saturday night and partook of tacos. Came in the next day and bartender extraordinaire Jeremy hooked me up with a hair of the dog. Great local stout, and fish Tacos and Brisket Tacos, courtesy of Chef Chicago. The Chef even came out and greeted me. Baxter’s places a premium on real diversity (people interact), a variety of entertainment, and personal touches. I am new to Louisville but this is one of the best places I have discovered.

Y’all’s OLD light skin bartender that works nights kicked me and my friend out for no reason because she’s insecure. And she don’t know how to do her hair.

I have been here 3 times and have had a great time every time. Staff and security is great. Security noticed I was uncomfortable and asked me if I was bothered. Very caring.

We had a great time at the bar with Chris last Saturday. Good times and good drinks.

Good music and pretty popular on the weekends; very strict about rules of exiting and re-entry so keep it in mind. $10 entrance fee, smoking area/patio out back.

We did not like this place at all! The cover charge was too high, too crowded and the security team was extremely aggressive. I won't be going back.

Excellent live music venue! These folks always have great bands playing, it’s one of the only places still having live bands play consistently. I was also very impressed by their security team. Very polite but firm, it’s a great place to have drinks and dig on live music!

If your looking for the crowd, look no further! Food, drinks, all walks of people. Easy hangout spot.

So the music is pretty danceable. Drinks were good too

The music was great and the drinks were strong. The employees were very nice. It's a clean place, but parking can be a challenge.

Visited while out of town. The atmosphere was awesome, cheap drinks and a great Dj.

My friend got sick here and the guy security kept opening the door to the women's restroom and yelling at us that we needed to go 3 minutea past closing time Kept calling my friend diarrhea and clapped as she walked out of the bathroom. Don't come here they don't understand and they don't care anything customers.

Very nice place. Would definitely visit again.

Was a lot of fun! And the bartenders were very attentive. I appriciated the quick service despite it being so busy. The live music was awesome! Thanks for the good time!

Great place nd atmosphere of of people to be around! Even the bar tenders are even cool to convo wit!! Thumbs up!!!.

Me and my family really enjoyed our self last night great atmosphere great drinks good energy ,💃🏾🕺

This place used to be a decent bar on Wednesday. Now it's a bit creepy. The bouncers also aren't friendly to the LGBTQ crowd, I have had friends that have had bad experiences there.

Great atmosphere, security takes their job seriously. Great dancing music.

Food is exceptional, environment is solid for a good time. Make sure to count your change that is given back to you after paying for drinks/food. I was short changed twice now, I've been going to this place now for nearly 12 years and it was by the same person. first time I was drinking, this go round I was sober. She was cought and called out first time. Second time nothing needed to be said. Just beware, maybe they expect most people that are drinking & having fun with friends to not pay attention. Makes you think though....

Read the lower star reviews, they're all accurate. Place was a lot of fun. Service is quick. Drinks are priced fairly. But, they'll kick you out without warning.

My friend turned 21 tonight and had a valid ID, the temporary license he was issued earlier that day when updating it, and was told he looked too young to get in. When we said to scan the ID the bouncer refused to scan it, and when asked again he threatened to take it. Take his ID that was also his current Drivers license. Since we needed that for the rest of his big night, we left, but a crime was almost committed due to a bouncer being too lazy to scan an ID and wanting to go on an ego trip.

We went there last night for new years eve and we was only in there for about 10 minutes and then they told my cousin he had to leave cause he was band it cost 60 to get in there and didn't even give us are money I'm really passed off about it cause if he was band why would they take my cousins money at the door why didn't they tell him he was band at the door I will not be going back there cause it's always a problem with black people there
