The closest thing to a neighborhood bar I could find in Oxford. "The Circle" attracts a particular…read moretype of Miami student and a bunch of local regulars. The bar features your classic dive-bar fixtures -- patrons that get into indecipherable arguments about high-water marks, nailing stupid things to the wall (in this case giant parrots), dart boards with no darts, curmudgeonly bartenders.... they're all here. The only thing that ruins the facade is endless entrance and exit of super-drunk preppy college kids. Picture your favorite corner bar... now, picture sitting around watching sports and suddenly 15 completely hammered kids wearing polos, blazers and khakis spill into the bar -- it's a weird juxtaposition, but this place has been around for what seems like forever, so the locals must've gotten used to it. If anything, it explains why the lone bartender -- mildly obese, perpetually clad in an untucked dress shirt and eye-divertingly snug shorts -- is at times curt, irrationally frustrated, or uncomfortably friendly. Their white russian is the stuff of legend and it does live up to it. Insider tip: Stir it up good and sip from the tiny straw, otherwise you get a mouth full of vodka and cream which is never fun. In the spirit of full disclosure -- the owners of The Circle also own Mac & Joe's and some german bar/restaurant that are ALL connected through corridors. It seems this bar is an afterthought, but it's the best of the three. Good luck findin' it!

The vibe is very laid-back lots of locals, but everyone is friendly. They have 4 to 5 craft beers on tap, including Guinness and shock top. The food menu is limited, but I did have their club wrap as well as their broccoli slaw. The broccoli slaw was excellent and something different from traditional coleslaw. I've had nothing but great experiences in here but again it's hard to provide a four star for a bar and grill. I'm sure this place is very crowded when Miami is in session. You have to pay to park outside the bar. That's also a downer. Oxford tries to suck you dry when it comes to parking fees. Aside from that great place great atmosphere. Nice place to grab a drink.

I started smiling as soon as we walked in. Such a cool and fun atmosphere. Chicago sports memorabilia everywhere you look along with Chicago food favorites on offer. The bar is old and wooden with comfortable seats. It has a really nostalgic feel, like an urban neighborhood pub from decades ago. Plenty of tables, and I've heard rumors of an upper deck that is open at appropriate times. There is also outdoor seating on High Street. The atmosphere is undoubtedly very different on a Friday night when it's packed with upper classmen throwing back shots, but on a weekday late afternoon suppertime I'd say it's family friendly and welcoming to all. (I even saw a sign behind the bar: No explicit lyrics before 9 pm.) There were several staff members at work either making food or behind the bar. They were all quite young, and quite friendly and cheerful. I'm holding off on the fifth star till we get a chance to try the food. We had already eaten and just stopped for a couple of beers (a Truth and a Mich Ultra, on tap). But now I'm writing this I'm getting a serious craving for Italian Beef, so hope to be back soon.
