Oxford Mississippi. Not NYC. Not LA. Not Miami. Not Palm Beach, Vegas, Chicago. Oxford MS. A college bar in a college town with some DJ no one important has ever heard of. I won't pay a $20 cover to see the underage girls show off the boobs Daddy bought them for their high school graduation. That's what the Grove is for, and it's free.

OVERRATED

THIS PLACE IS A RIPOFF. RUDE BARTENDERS AND BOUNCERS ARE JUST WAITING TO F SOMEONE UP. I WILL NOT GO BACK THERE.
This is a college student bar. It is expensive even for Oxford where finding a domestic under 3.00 is difficult after 7pm. But, for affluent students with credit-backed pockets this is the shiz and you will been seen. Just ask the nightly over 40 barflys waiting to ply their best lines on the co-eds (and vice-versa). It is a hangout for older ...

A place to stay away from.

Owned and operated by thugs. Bouncers are abusive and bartenders are rude. Do not let your children go there. It's just a matter of time before this place is closed by the authorities who are not crooked. Something you would expect to see in a more urban area than a small college town.
The library is easliy the best bar in Oxford. The best girls, the best drinks, the best bartenders! All of the negative reviews on this board are obviously people who dont like to party and have a good time at a bar or are people from starkville that aren't used to cover charges! The Library is the only bar worth going to in Oxford! Oh, and If ...

The Library, not for loosers!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/28/09
I would bet the negative reviews came from other bar owners in town, (not for long, The Library puts them all out of business) or people that should have gone to STATE. Great atmosphere, beautiful women, and big enough to have different vibes. Sports Bar, Dance, or Patio are all options. All you haters need to have a drink in Starksville, ...

Only the Best, or the Worst
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/07/08
You will only love it or hate it. It is by far the most popular bar in town so the "scenery" is nice. If you want to dance in Oxford you have to go here. If you want a laid back place it's not happening at the Library. The cover is ridiculous so you have to go early to get around it. On a crazy night though the cover can be completely worth it.
On a night after a big win (or even a loss, something we deal with quite often) there is no better place to be in the country. Great music, huge place to hang out, beautiful women of all ages, it just doesn't get any better.

I never want to go back
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/16/08
I've been to many bars in my lifetime. Never have I had such an unpleasant experience as I did in the Library Sports Bar. I was charged $10 at the door just to go in and have a drink. There was no place to sit, and the bartenders were rude and unappreciative of my patronage. I hear there is a new place right across the street, and I will definitely check it out next time I'm in town.
too high of a cover charge, no place to sit, drinks are expensive, bartenders are rude, i recomend the parrish baker club, never a covercharge, good drinks at reasonable price, and the bartenders are awesome!!!!!!!!!!
