    Delicious pizza sub with chips. Definitely my new go to when I drop off my son in Oxford..

    Cool ambience. Very old-school feeling dive bar. The food is very good and a nice break from the normal. The menu has a few quirky items which will be fun to try over time.

    Disappointing sums it up. I had the Miami tradition. It was so cold and took forever to get our food. Server only came by to take order and to drop off the check. Some other person brought out the food. Tater tots were amazing. Bathrooms are gross, no soap. I really wanted to like this place more.

    Regular menu prices are a bit steep, but their lunch and happy hour specials are well priced for a college town pub. Our server was new but she did a great job! It's got a lot of personality lacked a tiny space but feels cozy rather than cramped.

    This place is located in the back alley with no windows and up the stairs. This is a very local bar restaurant with unique atmosphere. The food was good or average, but it was very nice to visit a local atmosphere in town.

    Visit to Oxford for my son's football camp. What an awesome town and we hit Mac and Joe's for a fun dinner. Standard pub fare and the service was awesome. We had the the buffalo dip, an order of wings and their "famous turkey sandwich". All was delicious. Not sure if we'll be back to Oxford but wouldn't hesitate in eating here again.

    Cozy pub which prides itself on a 75+ year history. It's small with a lot of seating - great utilization of space- so it's loud. All the booths, chairs and barstools are wood. The end booths have a "snuggery " feel. I noted some early Cincinnati Reds/Pete Rose memorabilia. A lot of TVs for such a small place. The ceiling is very unique! Plenty of beers on tap with numerous rotating craft selections plus an interesting cocktail list. My husband wanted a margarita and it was good! I had a shock top. Along the top of the bar are chalkboards with all the beers and their ABVs listed. I had the curry chicken salad. The chicken salad itself was very good though I thought a little on the salty side. I didn't care for the green salad part though which was all 'mesclun mix' plus chopped tomato/cucumber. Would have been much better over crispy iceberg lettuce. I would have it again but as a sandwich and skip those greens. He had the steakburger, done medium. It was perfect. Both portions were generous and reasonably priced. Service was good and attentive. The tiny bathroom (ladies) was heated and the hot water was HOT; so important on a cold winter's day. They are open 7 days starting at 11 am.

    There's just something about them ally bars that I can't stay away from. I come here for good wings, but honestly their entire menu is just delicious. If the students are in town it's typically very busy, but the bar is always first come first serve. We are at the bar and had a great experience. The bartender was attentive and managed customers and server tickets efficiently. My beer stayed full and food came out hot! I love their rotating drafts as there is always something new to try!

    College beer and food place. Down an alley in an old building. It has character. Mac and cheese bites and m8 I corn dog appetizers. Waitress worked hard. Don't ask too much about the beer, they may not be old enough to have tried anything but Miller Light. I got an amazing sour beer called Rhein skill in or something. Pulled pork was terrific. BLT also excellent. Onion rings were a bit skimpy but very good. I'd be back in a minute. My date (wife) had hoped we had graduated to more elegant meals.

    Classic bar food, nice staff, college vibe. Exactly what you sign up for when you go. Their only downfall is no coke products.

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.
