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!

Did not get a chance to eat here, but the atmosphere and the live band and the great service from both bartenders was pretty outstanding. Only reason I gave a four star instead of five was the limited selection of beer on tap. They did however have one of my fave beers in a bottle which was a bonus. Overall, if you're in the Northeast Austin area or cedar Park this is definitely a fun place to hang.

I've been to this great bar more than twice ;) tonight I was there to celebrate a friend's retirement party. The human(I use that term loosely) wearing a Superman shirt was anything, but not super. She was angry from the get go, did not matter. I ordered a round for the band and she became very angry as I didn't know what they were drinking. "Get it now or don't get it" I heard that a couple of times. You're the bartender, what's the band drinking? I would be aware and know what's going on. Maybe that's change in the 30 years of being a catering owner. I went to pay my tab and mentioned to the other bartender about "super" woman. Three seconds later "super" was standing at my table verbally abusing me. Apparently I spoke with the owners daughter, and she shared something to "super". I have never in my 60+ years have ever, ever been verbally abused in front of other guests. I like this bar, our group Austin Tx parrot heads love this bar. I had to write something. Ive been in the service business over 40 years and I am amazed, pissed and truly dismayed by the "service" or lack thereof of this particular angry "super". That was her shirt, not her attitude.

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).

Wow that was delicious

Maybe you need to eat there to get the "Cheers" atmosphere, but we got food to go. Really awful. The baked potato looked and tasted like it had been cooked the day before and reheated. The rest of the food also subpar. Would never recommend just based on the food.

Stopped by looking for a place to watch the football games and a drink. The bartenders are really welcoming, it's a 30+ type of crowd, food was pretty good.

I love this place, a neighborhood styled bar where you can get a meal and feels like Cheers. Good food, good drinks, live music, and good crowd. The staff has always been good here, especially the blond bartender. This is a place to feel at home.

The Mill is a local tavern that has been around several years but my wife and I finally checked it out. I think it was opened by one of our Anderson High classmates, too, and there's been a few get togethers there. It's a neat place. They have live music sometimes. Their drinks are really affordable and prices are great, but what was really shocking is how good their food is! I don't usually get hungry for pub-grub type foods but this place is really good. I've gotten take out from there it's that good. Check it out! Get the tater tots with queso and jalapenos.
The Mill is a good place to grab something to eat, hangout, shoot some pool, meetings or just hang out with friends. They do have live music, and outdoor patio & plenty of parking. The food is pretty good whether it's breakfast, lunch or dinner..plus the drinks are good ?on a side note, they also have the Prohibition a couple doors down that was used as a cigar room & again a nice outdoor patio with fireplace that is still part of the Mill.
