Of all the local places in Oxford I make sure to visit when in town, this is one of them, if not "the one". 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. read more

The Library Oxford is a great small local business. The venue has multiple TVs so you can watch your game and the sound is low enough in the venue you can still hear others right next to you. The food is nothing fancy but it is good bar food for a fair price. Drinks are reasonable in cost and the service is friendly, efficient and simply they are there to help you if you need it. I have walked by many times but am glad I finally went in for a drink and mozzarella sticks. read more

The Library - Sports Bars Near Me - Oxford, Mississippi

First..the cover is ridiculously high. Idk how college students maintain the cost. I on the other hand..am resourceful. Came on a busy Oxford weekend and the place was packed and everything you expect a club/bar to be. Variety of music in each space and bartender served the drinks generously and cheap. read more

The Library - 3 drinks. Total was 25 dollars - Sports Bars Near Me - Oxford, Mississippi

They Lyric is lovely! I'm so glad I came here for a concert! I have disabilities and my husband did not call ahead when he got out last minute tickets. The bartenders were WONDERFUL and so accommodating. When I was feeling bad and asked what accommodations they could provide, she brought me out a stool so I could sit by my husband who wanted to be close and on the floor! So incredibly helpful! I'm so thankful this venue is accommodating and willing to help even in the moment. Thank you!! We will for sure be back. read more

Went here for a sorority date party (so you can be here 18 and up). For starters, I am not of legal drinking age nor do I have a fake ID. I had my boyfriend order my a Shirley temple (literally sprite and grenadine) at the bar and was standing in between the bar and the ID checking stand with bouncers and cops. I was obviously not worried about this because I was not doing anything wrong or criminal. A bouncer comes up to me and demands to see my 21+ band (which I don't have because I am 18). I tell him I don't need one and try to politely clear up the confusion that this was not alcohol, just a Shirley temple. He keeps telling me he doesn't believe me and I need to show my ID to the cops. I don't because I didn't bring my ID... because why would I need to prove I'm underage? Then he makes me throw out my drink and I was so embarrassed that I got yelled at and people were looking at me so I left. Worst experience ever. Will never come back because some bouncer was on a power trip. read more

For the bathrooms being this terrible (leaky pipes, stinky, doors barely lock, hot, sinks hardly work) this place needs to put the thousands upon thousands of dollars they make with ridiculously high cover and now $200 library cards toward the bathrooms AT LEAST. Whole place is pretty gross. However, the whole place is huge and drinks are potent and a good size. read more

At closing time everyone was hustled out. I was waiting for the bill and the bartender could not have been more rude or impatient. And oh by the way. I was waiting for them to process my bill and tip them. Typical crap service from a college bar. read more

I have talked to my attorney and we are sueing black hair and beard. I was seriously hurt.

LOVE THIS BAR AND EMILY AUER IS THE BEST BARTENDER. Order the pineapple vodka - they make it with real pineapple juice and it's incredible. Friday's are a little crowded but still so fun. I like to come during the day when no one is there. Love love love. 5 stars. read more

The Library - Menu - Sports Bars Near Me - Oxford, Mississippi

Enjoyed an evening there while visiting my daughter at Ole Miss. Nice open air bar. Prices are reasonable. It was a very quite night in Oxford so the establishment was not too busy. Food was good, beer was cold and conversation was great! What more can you ask for from a college bar? read more

Crazy covers at this place! Total scam!!! The place is enormous and the drinks are potent but I can not get over how they hose you on getting in! This past weekend for A&M game it got up to $60 a person! The place isn't that good!! Great for a few drinks before you have to pay to get in...... read more

Was assaulted by the doorman. He grabbed my girlfriend's drink out of her hand and threw it out. The reasoning was because she gave her roommate a drink (she was of age and paid to get in so I dont see the issue with it). I then told him I would like that drink taken off my tab because he threw away her full drink. He grabbed me, started shoving me. Wouldnt even close my tab. I have been to plenty of bars in many different states and I have never been treated like this. read more

The worst bar in Oxford, MS. They took our drinks and refused to give my friend her card back. They said that "they had been here since 1pm" but did not realize that they signed up for it and any bar anywhere else stays open much later than this. I would much rather go somewhere with any kind of customer service. read more

Place sucks don't go here. The line is long and the cover is high for no reason. I will never go to this boring place again. Sucks sucks sucks read more

we have tried this bar several times when we are in town and each time we are over charged. we just walk past it now as other places to go that won't over charge you and less crowded. don't see why so many people go to this bar. read more

If you like over priced drinks and a ridiculous cover charge to get into a dingy bar, then this is the place for you. Otherwise there's really nothing to see here. read more

Music is okay. Cool thing is they play different music in different parts of the place to appeal to the crowd. My friend had a very poor experience with a bartender. She doesn't drink so she just wanted a water. Male bartender served everyone but her and told the other bartender not to serve her and got an attitude with her. Some guy over the balcony was splashing drinks on us and security took care of it right away. Cover tends to be high during big events. read more

The girl bartender was more concerned about talking to her friend than serving me a drink. And another bartender walked by me 3 times. After waiting 5 mins standing at the bar, I left. So much for hospitality... read more

Only the best bar to shake your booty in Oxford! The drinks are gross, but who cares? Just take a few shots and hit the dance floor with DJ Mario! Hotty toddy! ;) read more

Great times at the Brary! Drinks are totally worth the money. Can get packed on game weekends, but still a great time

DINER FROM MEMPHIS * Rebel Forever * 5 Reviews 4 of us were attending the Beer Fest host by the Library on Saturday . We decided to take a break and go to the Library bar for some food. We sat at the bar ( only 3 other people were in the bar area). We were quickly greeted by our server, we ordered drinks and 2 sausage/cheese plates and a burger. It took over 30 minutes to get 1sauage plate. We question our server several times about our food; he said "it"s coming". When the 1st plate came it was clear the plate had been sitting for while in the kitchen, the sausage was room temp. It took several more request to get the 2nd plate and the hamburg....

Spent a LOT of time here. Big group of us came into town and heard it was the place to be. Asked to speak to manager to discuss purchasing table for post game- we were looked at like aliens. OK it's Mississippi. Three areas, bar, club like second larger area and then back area with live music and roof top. Sounds great! Except for the fact they charge insane cover ( $40 - $80 cover in Oxford Miss). Shocker, groups of girls walked over ( heard cover amount) and walked away. Door guy told me " they'll be back" um, nope, no they never came back. They fill the place to sardine like capacity then, and this is the really fun part, they don't tell you they do not allow people already in to come back in if you go outside due to wanting to control crowd size. They should probably mention something. So you've paid cover and still- denied. No one seemed to be having fun. Seemed more like a crush of people followed by people rushing out. Go here for a couple drinks before they start charging cover then LEAVE. Several other better options in the area. This is an ugly debacle. read more

Food is terrible, but drinks are strong. I would not eat anything here, but it is the best sports bar we found in Oxford. There are so many restaurants on the square, you should just eat there first. read more
