Maxine's Live

Our first time at Maxine's was on a Saturday. We arrived around 8:45 PM, the place wasn't packed but there was a sizeable crowd. The first thing that we noticed was the decor. It looks like a blend of lowbrow chaos to someone giving some thought of how the place should look - love it. We ordered 2 cocktails listed in the menu. They were both infused with ginger. Then I ordered a beer while my partner had a white Russian. We also ordered pizza, the Whodunit. It was good but there was a long wait for it. My partner said it was better the next day. I plan on ordering a sandwich the next time.

First time visit. Amazing vibe, awesome music and good drinks. We ordered the baked shrooms appetizer and it was absolutely delicious. But the real reason we came was for the pizza! We ordered a Pink Cadillac and knew that it would take a little while to come out. An hour and a half later, a pizza was brought to our table but after taking a couple bites we realized it was not the pizza we ordered. Talked to the bartender and figured out that someone else (who ordered after us, hence our extra long wait) was given our pizza and we were given theirs. She offered to give us a discount if we wanted to keep that pizza, which we accepted because we didn't want to wait another hour and a half to eat. It was not something we would have ordered but pizza is like sex... even when it's bad, it's still pretty good. All in all a good experience and we will almost definitely come back if we're ever in Hot Springs again.

Had a 1 off visit while I was randomly in town. I had to wait a little longer for my pick up order... but I am glad i did! It led to a fantastic conversation with one of the bartenders who told me all about the building's and the town's history. Truly a wonderful experience. If I am ever back in Hot Springs, I will be sure to visit again!

Kitchen open pretty late which is awesome, Sandwich I ordered was delicious. Large variety in drink options. They had live music the night before thanksgiving. Decent pool table. Awesome vibe throughout.

The karaoke was fun, but as the night went on it became very cliquey and was nothing like I experienced before singing karaoke. I also wish they had just a few more gluten free friendly options, all my sister could eat was the salad and I chanced it with the meatballs because i can tolerate some gluten. Even like tortilla chips and salsa would have been awesome. Food for thought! The bartenders were great.
