| - I was staying down in Fort Mill the weekend of St. Patrick's Day, and after we had dinner, we decided to go down to Baxter to have a couple of beverages. When we arrived (probably around 9 or 9:30), the place was pretty packed inside and a lot of people were also hanging out on the patio.
The bar was really crowded, so getting up there to place a drink order was going to be a challenge - then out of nowhere a friendly server appeared to take our drink orders, YAY!
Since they were celebrating St. Patty's day early, there were a couple of drink specials. One of the specials was a martini with mint -chocolate - I think it was called the Skinny Mint. OMG, this thing was heavenly - it tasted like mint chocolate chip ice cream! I think the normal price was $12, but on this night, it was only $8.
The bar also had live music going, so it was a great spot to hang out & people watch. The only negative thing about the place is the bathroom situation. They have a single toilet for men and a single toilet for women.... needless to say, with all the drinking going on, lines for both got really long at times!!
One cool thing about Cloud 9 is that you can see all types of people hanging out in one spot... it is definitely a mixed crowd, which makes things interesting! You will see all ethnicities, as well as rednecks, LGBTs, young professionals, married couples, divorcees, cougars, college kids, retirees, transplants from the northeast (Think My Cousin Vinny), hippies, blue collar folks, white collar folks, etc. all under the same roof! How fun is that?!!
