The Baxter Inn

A subterranean whisky bar on Clarence Street with close to three hundred bottles and one of the finest Australian wine cellars in Sydney. The Baxter Inn featured on the World’90s 50 Best Bars list every year since opening, collected Best Bar in Australia from Ketel One three years running, and earned Tales of the Cocktail recognition for both Best International Bar Team and Best International Spirits Selection. The Swillhouse Group venue operates on atmosphere rather than spectacle—dim lighting, no signage, and a staff whose whisky knowledge runs deeper than the spirits shelf itself. The underground bar that became Australia’90s whisky benchmark.
