About The Baxter Inn

The Baxter Inn is a whisky bar where the lights are low, the blues are blowing, and the spirits are high. When you come down the stairs and step through the door, you’ll see bottles from the Highland, the Lowland, Speyside and the islands lined up behind the bar. There’s pretzels, cocktails, beer, and even the wine list gets a workout. No bookings! Walk-in 7 days.

A real speakeasy, located in the basement. You'll need to walk into the alley and make a right turn then through the door and down the stairs, hard to find if you don't know what you're for! The staff are super knowledgeable in the various drinks. Huge selection available. Great atmosphere and vibes.

Excellent advice on discovering whiskies, had a wonderful adventure round Tasmania and other distilling territories. On my way home now planning what to look for at duty free. Thank god for autocorrect after six rounds πŸ˜”

This is one of the most intriguing places I ever seen in my entire life. When you approach the bar you have to enter in a dark street (a bit creepy) but then once you do the stairs you enter in a completely new word! It seemed to be in a Sherlock Holmes movie. A unique experience to taste very unique cocktails. Totally recommended!

This bar is tucked away in the street and is such a unique pub. The staff are really nice, they even give you pretzels! The music is right up my alley, and the vibes are lovely too 🧑 . Also needed to wait a few moments for my drink, really busy!!!!

Baxters is such a vibe and also FREE PRETZELS. One time they were itty bitty baby pretzels 😍 The drinks of the menu are a bit extravagant and expensive but it’s a groovy underground bar in the city so it’s kinda the vibe. Sometimes it can be very loud and crowded and they only have 3 booths.
