Anything good to do in Oxford Mississippi ?

I heard there is a good place to eat. I forgot the name of it but remember it sounding like a convenient store. Also heard the grounds are pretty so maybe a good place for a walk once it cools down.

The best thing to do in oxFART is to LEAVE!

Get out of that shithole

Compared to what? Baton Rouge?

Decent restaurants. It’s all very corporate slop pretending to be dignified southern culture, though.

The best part about being in Oxford, is after LSU drags that arse around for 3hours, you can leave Oxford!...zero things to do there outside of the University.

Watch LSU win.

Stay in Memphis.

I was talking to this one chick who goes to school at Ole Miss and she told me other than football and baseball it’s a boring place that why she drives home on weekends.

I’m going to try to go up for LSU game. Is there anything to do besides watching airplanes at the airport?

I wouldn't say Oxford is a total dud of a city. It has what it needs for a student. It's definitely a small town so it could get boring for an adult.

For comparison sakes, there's a lot to do in a city like New Orleans, but not a whole lot going on in Baton Rouge outside of sports. If the chick is driving home from Oxford to Baton Rouge because there isn't anything to do in Oxford, im guessing her friends live in Baton Rouge.

Oxford is awesome. I did a few years there for my graduate degree (obviously wore LSU gear to the grove every game day -- these colors don't run), and I'd highly recommend you go if you can.

Try to get a balcony spot on Friday if you can. I'd recommend Boure if you can. It's got the most space. City Grocery is my personal favorite, but the quarters are tight. Shoot to go there for drinks at night instead if you can, although the line might be long.

For food, any of the below are great options:
- Ajax (awesome southern comfort food -- I prefer the chicken fried steak or meatloaf, but you can't go wrong with anything, and the John Daly's are killer)
- City Grocery (elevated Southern food, and you'd need a reservation).
- Lenora's (good Italian food, especially the Chicken Parm)
- South Depot (fast casual taco spot on the square; you won't need a reservation)
- Saint Leo (a good pizza and pasta place with good cocktails)
- Blind Pig (really good sandwiches and bar food)
- Proud Larry's (good bar food and live music)
- Taylor Grocery is a way's out of town, but it's got fantastic catfish and you can brown bag, which is always fun. The wait might be long, but people tailgate and bring their own beers. It's fun if you don't mind killing time.

Bars
- City Grocery's upstairs bar is small but top notch. The head bartender Coonie is a big LSU fan.
- The Library is an iconic massive bar, but try to get a wristband early if you can. The cover can get up to $100 or more on weekends.
- I've heard the Velvet Ditch is fun, but I haven't been there
- Rafter's has a good set up, as it's pretty big with nice TVs
- Roundtable has a good outdoor area
- Funky's is a great spot. It's got decent pizza, but you'll really want to go for the daquiris -- have a Taylor Swift.
- The Yard at Harrison's is another good option. Lots of outdoor space.

As you can tell, I'm really fond of Oxford, even if I can't stand the Rebs. Make the trip if you can, although maybe ditch your friend. If she can't have fun there, she's the problem.

That restaurant you are talking about is probably the City Grocery.
It will be packed that weekend and the hotels will be charging exorbitant prices.
Not a lot to do other than just hang around the Square and the Grove.
