re: First trip to Ole Miss

Get to the square around 3:00 on Friday. It will be a zoo, but will be a great atmosphere.

My go to is 3:00 on Friday head to City Grocery balcony bar (not the restaurant). Get you a table on the balcony and enjoy.

Dinner Friday on the square, if you have a big crew, then Boure is a great option (kinda like the chimes).

Inside bar upstairs City Grocery is good if its just you and the lady.

Proud larrys is great, but will be packed. This spot is great after the game on Saturday. Had a few beers here w Stanford Steve 2 years ago.


Saturday - Get up early. You could try and hit BBB on your way into town if you want a good breakfast. Or get to AJAX at opening time for a great meat and three lunch.

Then head to the Grove. Hopefully you have some friends with a spot. And, may want someone to drop you a pin for their location. Very difficult to locate a tailgate in there if you don't know where your going.

REMEMBER OPEN CONTAINER WILL GET YOU A TICKET (I've gotten two).

Coffee at Bottletree is a good option either Saturday AM or Sunday before you leave.

And, the Library really is a must see. I would not go after the game though.. Cover has been known to reach $80 per person. I'd consider hitting the Library before the Game for some drinks and/or bar food before you hit the Grove.

Oxford is notoriously cold. When the Sun sets on Saturday it is always 10-15 degrees colder (and feels like 20+) when compared to BR.

have fun
