The Baxter - Bozeman

If you're an architecture or history buff checking out the lobby of the Baxter on Main Street is totally worthwhile. It's also how you enter Ted's Montana Grill and the Bacchus Pub (both have outdoor seating as well. The mezzanine floor is apparently currently used as an event space. The Baxter was originally built as a seven story hotel in 1929 by then most renowned architect in the area, Fred Fielding Willson. The hotel is named after George Baxter, a prominent Gallatin County rancher who provided the funding. You'll see Willson's name all over town the HS is named after him, he also built the Ellen Theater and the Gallatin jail which is now a fabulous museum.

Beautiful, so beautiful. Interior is stunning, staff fabulous, food amazing. Must see.

I frequent this building regularly for Ted’s Montana Grill and the Baucus Pub, wonderful establishments with superb food and service. However, I have noticed that the parking garage has paid parking for their old garage. The garage is hard to get in and out of because of steep ramps and a low ceiling in the basement. The basement Garage is completely iced over and the metal stairs leading below are also iced over. I’d like to say it was a one time thing but the basement has been nothing but a sheet of ice for months. What is the parking fee going towards? No new lines painted, no sand/gravel, icy garage and stairwell? Seems like a money grab. I’d rather park on the street a mile away than go in that poor excuse of a garage.

We had our wedding rehearsal dinner here and everything was great! The location, the staff and the food were all perfect. They had great communication and were very attentive before and during the dinner. Highly recommend events here.

We have hosted our Christmas Party for Medical Eye Specialists at the Baxter the last 2 years. They provided everything we needed, including decorations. It was so easy and we look forward to using them again. Can't go wrong with their team!
