Look, if you appreciate this place for what it is (local dive bar vibes with good service, cold drinks) then there is no way you don't rate this place five-stars. You don't watch Happy Gilmore if you're looking for an Oscar-winning film, but who doesn't like Happy Gilmore?! Excellent for a few casual drinks, game-day get-togethers, etc. Service and staff has always been excellent. Full disclosure I've never tried their food items, but it appears to be on-par typical bar fare. If you're in Oxford check this place out.

I've been to The Growler quite a few times and have always had a great experience. I decided to swing in this week while back in town and it really held up. The staff working the bar are consistently awesome - they're personable, quick, and extremely helpful. The beer is always well poured. Their food is always great for the atmosphere. Some places tend to get lazy when serving bar food, but that is not the case for The Growler. There is so much seating available if you are planning to hang out with friends, and they have a few tvs and games available for use. It is somehow also a great spot for working - I have typed many, many papers here and have somehow never been too distracted despite this place often being filled with groups of people.

I usually love coming to the Growler and have had good experiences in the past. However, I went…read morethere after my graduation with my family and had such a horrible time. The bartender did not look at us once and when my brother asked if he had any recommendations or a favorite, he responded "no" without even looking up. When I asked for 2 drinks I was told they were out which was fine, but then I asked what they did have and was told, "look if it has a cap on it". The Growler was something my family was looking forward to since they were coming for the first time from Connecticut and had heard good things, but the bartender made it seem like we weren't wanted there. I did not end up getting a drink which was an unfortunate way to end my graduation night.

I stopped into Back 9 while passing through Oxford on my way to an event in Jackson with some…read morefriends in entertainment. It was later in the evening, and I wasn't sure how many places would still be open that late elsewhere in the state, so stopping in such an iconic college town felt like the right move. Unfortunately for me--but probably great for business--it happened to be a home game for Ole Miss Rebels baseball, so the entire area was packed. I tried a few places before finally managing to grab a single seat at the very end of the bar at Back 9. The atmosphere was immediately fun and energetic. Between the sports simulators and TVs broadcasting games throughout the space, it felt exactly like the kind of lively college-town sports bar you'd hope to stumble into on a busy game night. The staff was clearly stretched thin because of the crowd, so I don't hold the slower pacing against them. If anything, it reminded me how differently high-volume bars function from city to city. There are probably a few things college-town bars in general could learn from the efficiency of Nashville's Broadway spots, but that's more of an observation than a criticism of this restaurant specifically. The menu is exactly what you'd expect in the best way possible--handhelds, flatbreads, comfort food, and crowd-pleasing bar favorites. I ended up ordering the Chipping Cajun pasta, and honestly, it completely surprised me. The balance between the spice and cream sauce was excellent. The bell peppers, onion, and garlic added depth to the flavor while also giving the dish a nice variety of texture. The seafood was evenly cooked and genuinely delicious throughout. It actually reminded me of one of my favorite dishes back in Nashville at Darfons Restaurant & Lounge, which I definitely wasn't expecting from a busy college-town sports bar. Overall, Back 9 ended up being one of the highlights of my drive through Oxford. If you're passing through town, especially on a game weekend, it's absolutely worth stopping in and trying for yourself.

The atmosphere was like being at home with good friends. I have to give most of the credit to April wow she was so much fun, singing and we all had a ball. April made super cocktails and we learned about a new drink that she said would make us ten feet tall, so I had a few and felt at least 16 feet tall. What a beautiful person to know and be around. Very positive vibes. The food was good, the staff were friendly and didn't mind getting my butt whipped on the pool table. It was a special evening I'll not soon forget so I'll have to come back and see my new friends again. I came with my nephew and made a new friend there from my hometown. You'll have a great time when you visit I promise! Maybe I'll see you there and have a cocktail on me. I'm Dan btw. Thanks again April for your kindness and attention.

They normally don't give a price break when ordering a double shoot but, the bartender was gracious enough to give me a small discount. Had their cheese tray app, plenty of cheese, sausage, peppers and a few other tidbits. I love the atmosphere of their small bar verses the main bar in the main dinning area.
