Reception.
Chelsea Hawkins of MyNorthwest.com has called The Mix an "important fixture". In a 2013 "queer girl" guide of Tacoma, "Autostraddle" said of the bar: ;templatestyles src="Template:Blockquote/styles.css" / ;Relaxed and friendly, you'll feel right at home here. There's karaoke, but when that's not happening they tend to play pretty decent music. Like Silverstone, The Mix is a queer grab bag: on any given night you can booze alongside drag queens, baby boomers, femmes, butches, leather daddies… you name it. The Mix may not be the most, um, glamorous place you've ever been drunk at, but the bartenders are nice and the crowd is kind of hilarious.
According to "SouthSound Talk", The Mix was named Western Washington's best gay and lesbian bar in 2014. "The Advocate" said The Mix was "the go-to neighborhood bar" in 2015.
