The Mill Bar & Grill

First time checking this place out on Tuesday. A new friend invited me to meet for karaoke and we had a fun time! It wasn't so crowded so we were easily able to get two songs in each while I was there. The waitress was very nice but busy so we didn't see her often and I had to go to the bar for a water refill once. The customers that day, as well as the gal spinning the karaoke tunes, were really sweet and welcoming...lovely, positive energy. The food was typical bar type food: fried, which I don't usually eat, but I ordered the chicken tenders with tots and I liked it. My friend had their Tuesday steak special which came out more medium than medium rare and a wedge salad with ranch dressing. I know it wouldn't fit with the theme, but adding a few more healthy options to the menu would be a nice add, imo.

The Mill is a nice, laid back place to relax and have a casual drink or meal. The ambiance ranges from dive to family! Some kids play pool there with their family.

I usually end up at their sister bar down the street but my friend wanted to stop in and check it out. The Mill is a bit dive-y/locally and depending on who is playing can seem either really rowdy and laidback.The space is really large, divided roughly into thirds, a third is pool tables, the largest is the bar area and then there's the stage. The bar has a lot of taps and a bunch of coolers that rival the beer section of a 7-11 and that's where the majority of their craft and craftier selections are. While it's impressive to see it was hard to navigate, there wasn't a menu available and I ended up just getting the IPA they had on tap. That said it was an easygoing place and worth a repeat at some point.

I would give a 2.5, but our meal wasn't good enough to round up. While the service was good, the rest wasn't. Our medium cheeseburger came out very well done and the ranch had no flavor. We had a total of 4 drinks, 2 sodas, and 2 mixed drinks, all supposed to be carbonated. 3 of the 4 were completely, utterly flat. My husband described his diet coke as the worst he's ever had, which is saying something given how much diet coke he drinks. They were using warm, previously opened, cans of soda for everything. So disappointing.

I came out with about 8 of my friends to have a good evening, and we were planning on celebrating a birthday on a Monday night, after about 10 mins we could not hear our selves talking. my friends got annoyed. so we proceeded to leave, and go to another sports bar. I think It was amateur night because the music was horrible. very disappointed.

Pretty chill place.Got to meet Wess the owner one night, fun guy to hangout with. May not recall much from that night honestly. Very open area inside, couple of pool tables with plenty of patrons ready to join in, nice outside patio, drink prices are decent!A big plus is the prohibition next door. Owned by the same people.Me thinks I shall come here more often.

Mark is a delight. He's been here for the last 5 years, and he's the definition of an amazing bartending. Debbie and Drew (DOUBLE D) know how to have a good time. They'll take great care of you, and also provide a great experience. Mary is the sweetheart of the bar, she'll make you smile. Sweet Caroline.... The Mill is the place to enjoy a cold beer, catch a baseball game on the big screen and enjoy some laughs with the locals. Best night in a long while with Drew and Debbie! Love this place!

The Mill is one of NW Austin's premier neighborhood dive bars; it attracts bikers and country music fans by the dozens, service could be a lot more streamlined and attentive than it is (a couple more waitstaff hires would be welcome, especially during busy times), and it's casual to a fault. That said, I have a lot of affection for the place; it knows what it is and who its patrons are, and under its current ownership it's improved by leaps and bounds since it was known as Stompin Grounds pre-2018. The Mill is actually one of the most family-friendly dive bars I know, and my wife and I (and sometimes offspring) like to go during the spring when they have frequent weekend Cajun style crawfish, shrimp and crab boils at more reasonable prices than most. The shellfish is served along with corn, potatoes and sausage on large orange platters that you get from the cooks on the back patio, bring back to your table, and enjoy with a beer or three. I'd highly recommend bringing along your own shellfish scissors and crab cracking implements, along with some plasticware and paper plates, for an easier and slightly less atavistic experience, since the restaurant doesn't provide any of these things. Perhaps the owner should invest in 20 or 30 crab cracking implements. I've found that table service is next to nonexistent at these and other times, by the way; it's best to go right to the bar and put in your order (at busy times there WILL be a line).

We stumbled across the Mill after an early evening of running errands. My impression is that this is a good local dive joint. Drinks are reasonably priced and are a good pour. There do have a kitchen and when we were there one buck oysters were available during happy hour. There is a full bar menu that is heavy on wings and typical bar Apps.There's a pool table and a few games to keep you amused. Multiple TVs are available if you wish to catch a game.When there is a live band it's loud really loud. Acoustics are not the best due to the high metal ceiling. Lastly, there is a fenced-in outside patio if you prefer a more quiet setting.Service on a crowded night was very good and the manager came by a couple of times to check on us.Bottom line the Mill is a cool dive bar that we will visit again.

My husband comes here all the time with his motorcycle group. I happen to stop here to meet him after work with my coworker and her husband.It's definitely a dive bar and I love it. They have cider in a can which was much appreciated for my barley allergy. They have a full bar but never saw a menu. My coworker said her vodka martini was good. My husband swears by their quesadillas and said their burgers are good but quite large. There is a pool table and some tvs
