It was OK. Positives - super convenient if you're staying at the hotel. Really cool ambiance although it is showing some wear and tear. The patio overlooking the Square has unbeatable views and scenery. Awesome place for an afternoon cocktail. Negatives - they were out of 3 draft beers. I tried to order the pulled pork sandwich and I was informed they don't make it any more and they were in the process of taking it off the menu. The smash burger I got was a joke (see my pictures). My waitress was nice just not very fast. If you are looking for a cool spot for a drink, this works. If you are looking for more of a culinary experience, go some place on the Square. read more

I don't want to be overly critical because this hotel, and the rooftop could be amazing if you just wanted to chug some beers, have some college student level cocktails, and party before during or after the Ole Miss game... but, I was a business traveler with clients showing up in the middle of January. There were only four people in the entire place and the service was horrible. Very confrontational, pushback bar "maid" (and she was a dude). Happy hour food absolutely sucked. Not trying to be overly critical. I am also a Hilton Diamond Reserve member and this is why I stayed here. I might as well have said I was a Mormon selling Old Testament Bibles. This is a dial it in at BEST staff from the front door to the rooftop bar. Save a whole bunch of money and go stay down the street. read more

Service was good. Much to be desired in prepared food and menu. Chicken wings were baby chicken legs (haha), they gave extra but really they should not have been served. 7 count 1.2 oz pour for a double, because bar tender didn't want to open a new bottle. read more

Rating Noelle at The Coop in Oxford MS. Because of Noelle we had such a memorable time eating at The Coop every night during snow storm Fern. She was delightful to converse with and extraordinarily attentive and knowledgeable about the restaurant and all things Oxford. This was our 1st trip to Oxford and because of her hospitality it will not be our last. read more

I just had the absolute WORST experience EVER with this restaurant. 1. Our waitress took a whole hour to bring us our drinks 2. The food was cold once we received it another hour after we got our drinks 3. Since the waitress was so slow I went to the bar to get a refill on water and watched the bartender wait on every. Single. Man. At the bar twice before he even glanced at me. Once he acknowledged me and I asked for a water he said "nope it'll be a minute" and rolled his eyes and walked away. A GROWN MAN. And before you say "they were probably busy", NO.. there was maybe 10 tables max and the bar had 5-6 men at the bar. I'm no feminist but I have never been treated so poorly at a restaurant. read more

Great views of the square and great atmosphere. They serve your basic bar food that's decent. The staff can get overwhelmed when there is a crowd but they hang in there and deserve a good tip if you think they deserve it. read more

If you're looking for good drinks with a rooftop view of The Square, then The Coop is an excellent option. Their food menu isn't too expansive, but what they have is always delicious. The Coop's best food item are their wings, without a doubt. However, their cocktails are what makes them stand out. This is a great spot to get some good drinks with friends and just hang out at the bar or catch some sun outside on the rooftop. My most recent visit was over Double Decker weekend. On Saturday it was pretty packed as you can see from our photo, but service was great regardless. We swung in again on Sunday for a little day-drinking for my birthday (yahoo!). It was must calmer of an atmosphere with most people having fled town after the end of the festival. Again, it's a great spot to meet up with some friends for some casual drinking. If you're looking for more of a meal, I'd look elsewhere. read more

The staff here is so incredibly rude. I genuinely would not recommend this place to anyone. It's obvious the staff priorities the older crowd and is degrading to the younger crowd (still 21+) read more

Had a couple of really great dinners, burger for one and charcuterie (bonus points I spelled it correctly) for the other. Great service and very convenient. Mixed dining with a bar area, never got too loud or too crowded. read more

Could not accommodate six people at a six person table kinda strange that they are missing chairs in a nice establishment like the coop, safe to say this place is starting to become run down. Picture is of the guy who the staff is scared of and would not accommodate my party. read more

Located at the top of the graduate hotel by Hilton. Arrived at 3pm. The place so crowded you could barely move. WTF sign #1. The bouncer lady was nice and was keeping a count so they wouldn't go over occupancy but it was just too crowded. After scoping out everyone and trying to figure out protocol for ordering for 10 minutes we saw a table of 4 leave and we took to their table. WTF sign #2. We moved the dirty plates and cups to make it easier for the waitstaff. The waitress finally decided to make a table appearance about 7-9 minutes later. WTF sign #3. She asked if we were all set as she picked up the signed receipt. WTF sign #4. Then she realized the prior groups had left and we were the new customers She was pissed that the bill was about $165 and they left a $10 tip WTF sign #5. That told me she was a terrible waitress. She took the dirty plates and cups and said she would be right back to take our order. I watched her go to 5 other tables taking orders and checking on guests. She even checked in the table right next to us because some new people joined them. After waiting a total of 30 minutes we walked out with no service. We were not the only ones to leave. I saw 2 other groups/family leave before us. This place is a joke. The tables are literally so close together people have there chair backs against the table behind them. Limited menu is a glorified sonic menu. All waitstaff appeared overwhelmed. When you pay over $1000 or $1500 per night to stay at this place for a game weekend you expect better. I would be pissed if I paid to stay here. Management should be ashamed. Corporate office needs to visit and get this place up to expectations. Quite literally one of my worst restaurant/bar visits of the year. read more

If your looking for a decent meal this isn't the right place. Fires were rock solid, 3 burgers took over 30 minutes somehow. Got my order wrong to start with. Very overpriced for low quality food. read more

4th floor of the Graduate Hotel bar/restaurant. Although not a deep menu, it was decent. My son and I both ordered the Chicken melt sandwich. Very tasty! We also really enjoyed the tater tot/pork appetizer first - enough for just two people, I would say. Grateful we didn't have far to go while staying in the hotel (which I highly recommend). The service with Ella was excellent!! She was very attentive, despite how busy they were. *Heads up, adults need to accompany any minors under 21. We ate our food too fast before I could snap pics! read more

I wish I could give zero stars. This roof top bar at the Graduate was once the best and now the worst. There is no concept of customer service. If you need service be prepared to ask multiple times for it. We had a six table top but only five chairs. We asked for another high top chair and were told they don't have them. We asked could we use a bar stool and were told no. Avoid this place and find anywhere near by with Southern hospitality read more

The Coop - Missing chair, they have no more, and will not allow use of a bar stool. - Lounges Near Me - Oxford, Mississippi

Atmosphere was very nice. Everything else, pretty terrible. We had to ask for someone to take our order three times. They were not that busy. Just terrible service. When they finally brought out our food it was cold. Like not just a little cold. I don't even know how they had time to make the food and then wait for it to get THAT cold before bringing it to us. I'm still a bit baffled. So... go for a drink and a nice place to visit w a friend. Don't go if you are hungry. read more

This bar, located on the 4th floor of The Graduate Hotel, has a great ambience! I had the Ms Ole Miss cocktail, which was very good. Bartender was friendly and fast. There was a pretty big crowd for a Tuesday evening. Great spot to relax and have a drink! read more

I didn't expect much for a hotel restaurant but I expected more than this.... The waitress was very sweet. Having said that, both of our silverware was wrapped grossly dirty. The buffalo cauliflower came out still frozen in the middle. And the burger came out with no lettuce and tomato so essentially meat and cheese only. We stopped at sonic on the way back to our hotel and we both said we could have gotten a better meal there. read more

Service was terrible. It took forever and the bartender was very rude. Will not come here again.

I'm in town for orientation and staying at The Graduate. This restaurant is convenient, literally down the hall from my room. My son went to eat with some friends, so it's just me. I walk in and ask for a table for one and the hostess says I can just go in and have a seat at the bar. I told her I wasn't interested in sitting at the bar, I wasn't there to have drink at the bar, I actually want to have dinner after a very long day of driving. She suggested I sit outside.....ummm....it's raining..... I give up trying to get her help and walk up to the bar and ask if they have a to-go menu and I get the craziest look. I see there is a small table by a window and asked if I could sit there. Bartender said sure. So I have a seat. No one comes to ask if I need a menu, need a drink, nothing. I mean no one. I sat here for about 10 minutes and finally someone walked by and I asked if there was a wine list I could look at. Waitress grabbed one and brought it back. I looked it over, not a great list by any stretch of the imagination, but it will do. I expected someone would come by and take my order... Not. A. Soul. I think I sat here looking like a lonely desperate female for what seemed an eternity before I finally flagged down the next waitress that walked by. She was gracious and apologetic. Got my wine and salad ordered. There was only one Pinot Grigio available, Dark Horse. I've never had it before, it was ok...not sure I'll ever order it again. Chicken Caesar Salad arrives. It's pretty good, so it makes up a little for the lack of service. Just disappointed in the fact that I had to seat myself and had ZERO service until I had to flag someone down. It was very odd. Surely I'm not the only single table at a restaurant here..... read more

it's a college bar/restaurant in a college town. I like the food, the variety of choices, the drinks, the staff & the atmosphere! every time I visit my son, we all go to the Coop!! if you want five star Michelin dining, drive to Memphis, but if you want to have fun with your friends & family in a festive, casual atmosphere with regular good food, go to The Coop read more

Food was horribly dry. Overcooked chicken. Outside atmosphere was nice and the only reason for giving it one star.

Fun bar. Nice roof top. Food is tasty. Good spot to hang out and see the town. Courtney is the best ask for her. read more

Fantastic views of the square. Love sitting out on the patio on a nice day. Have always had great service. Would recommend the vegetable kebabs and sausage & cheese platter. Pizza looked tasty. Loved the tater tots as a snack or appetizer. read more

The atmosphere is great. You can sit outside or inside. We sat outside and it gives a lovely view of the square. The food was tasty and I love the simplicity and consistency of the menu. Our server, Katherine, was very attentive and friendly and the food come out fast and fresh. If I had one critic, it would be that there needs to be some source of shade (like umbrellas or something ) on the outside patio. The southern summer sun is no joke. Even with a breeze. read more

Been here for an hour and none of us have even been served a water. We are also only 1 of 2 parties in the whole restaurant. They are also out of pretty much everything and we can only split the check 5 ways with a party split between 2 different tables. Would not recommend unless you want to just come sit on the porch. read more

This bar/ restaurant is on the 4th floor of the Graduate! I was worried I would be lost going alone for the first time, but it's super easy to find. I was carded at the door, the girl was friendly and the bartender was too! Drinks were good, $12. I also had the tot appetizer and it was phenomenal! Although I thought the jalapeños would be fried and they weren't, but still good! I recommend for a drink and snack kind of place! read more

Went with a large group. Maybe 40+ because online hours mentioned closing at 1. They did last call at 11:15 on a Saturday night. Disappointing. read more

Rude bouncer/security who did not wash her hands after going to the restroom. Drinks were good but bartender was also unkind and acted like we were inconveniencing him by ordering drinks. bouncer physically scoffed and rolled her eyes when looking at my very real and very valid ID. overall very unprofessional and very unwelcoming staff to anyone under the age of 65. probably thought we wouldn't tip but tipped them 20%. not like anyone in that establishment deserved that whatsoever. won't be returning. maybe when i'm 65. read more

My friends and i decided to have a girls night here and i've been here many times before but last night was very disappointing. we were there for two and a half hours and our server, Ms. Logan, only checked on us two times. she also placed my friend and I order in wrong so we got the wrong food, of course didn't say anything since we didn't know how long it would take for a new order to be made. When we were waiting for our check we see her yawning over next to the bar and talking to a co worker. Overall food was not as good as it should be and service was very poor. It will be a while before i come back here. read more

This is a great place to sit out and admire the Oxford skyline in the summer. Sitting on top of the rebuilt Graduate Hotel, the Coop is the place to take visitors for a mojito and good conversation in the summer when the students are away. read more

1st trying the traditional wings and they were really good. In Oxford for a mini getaway and this was a good choice. We will come back

While I would not recommend going here on an empty stomach or without plans to actually eat something after- I would 100% recommend going here for drinks, good vibes and a beautiful view of downtown Oxford. The Coop is an amazing rooftop bar that offers some of the best drinks in Oxford all while giving you the chance to overlook some of the best scenery in town. The frozen drinks are always great on a hot day but my favorite is their Moscow mules. I would regularly go here with friends and order their fries, cheese board or burger if I was looking for a quick but not overly heavy meal before going out. Located in the graduate this is a one stop shop if you're hoping to pregame and take some beautiful pictures too. read more

The Coop used to be my favorite bar in Oxford, but after a recent visit I likely will not be back. If you look to be college-aged, stay away, as the bartender and bouncer will talk down to you like a lost child who wandered up from the study area downstairs. They do have good food and well-priced drinks, at least. read more

I had the best aperol spritz here this weekend! I always love going to the graduate - although it may be harder to get in on busy weekends because apparently they have an updated fire code! The staff was still as great as always! :) read more

Awesome spot, came in with some coworkers after work and we all had a great time! Classy little place, awesome staff, great cocktails. I tried their Kicking Mule and the Ms Ole Miss, highly recommend. Food-wise I went with their wings and got some tater tots, very tasty. If you're staying at the Graduate, it's a no brainer, but also a great spot if you're just in the area! read more

What a gem! Right off the square and one of the only roof deck's in town. The drinks were expensive ($10 cocktails) and I couldn't have cared less because the ambiance, service and quality was above par. When you walk in, you're welcomed by an old fashioned candlestick dripping wax and lighting the dim bar tops before you're greeted by a waiter wearing a pressed Oxford (ha) shirt and bow tie. He was pleasant and happy to quickly pour me a fantastic gin, grapefruit and mint cocktail (can't remember the name). We then moved out onto the roof deck to alternate between watching the Sunday night football game on their outdoor tv and enjoying a great view of the Square. read more
