    Leaking pipes

    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.

    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.

    Having fun in Oxford!

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

    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'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.

The menu features a broad range of options, showcasing both classic and innovative dishes made from fresh ingredients. Each dish(catfish plate, chicken Alfredo, wing plate, boudin eggs rolls & that velvet punch) we chose was carefully prepared and beautifully presented, highlighting the attention to detail. The service was consistently friendly and attentive, contributing to a welcoming environment. Overall, The Velvet Ditch provides excellent value for money, making it a highly recommended spot for those looking to enjoy a memorable meal.

We came in to taste the local flair while on an Ole Miss college tour. The wait was lengthy however you could still stand at the bar and have a drink while you waited. We ordered a round of beers and checked out the place and the people. The bartenders were very nice, a lot of southern hospitality in this town. We were finally seated and ordered a seafood platter and a few orders of seafood gumbo. The gumbo was absolutely delicious. Shrimp that tasted amazing and sausage with great flavor. Rice cooked perfectly and overall a great dish. The seafood platter in my opinion, not worth the money. It was okay, but nothing spectacular. Coming from vegas the bar is set high on dining out as we have the best of the best in our city when it comes to places to eat. While this was a fun place to hang, it's expensive for a college town. The ahi tuna nachos at this place are absolutely amazing and a must try. Best thing I ate there. A ton of Ahi and a huge portion. There was more ahi than chips. Clean place, fair service at the tables, waitress delivered 4 entrees and saint bring the 11 year olds dinner. He sat for 15 minutes and I had to hunt her down to ask where the kids food was. Serve everyone at the same time, it's rude not to. This was a big annoyance for me as the child sits with no food while everyone else is eating for 15-20 minutes.
