Time I walked in I felt very settle great calm atmosphere. Then a couple hours later wham the Crunk teams show up ready to party. I had a lot of fun.
Great casual, relaxed atmosphere to grab a burger & you must try their home fries! I also recommend the chicken salad or philly cheese steak on their huge croissants. So good! I greatly enjoyed the outdoor seating area too.
I want to like this place especially free drinks ladies night, but why is the music so terrible. Get a new DJ or something forever 21 retail stores plays better music. It's not that hard.
I’ve ate at this restaurant many times for lunch and have never had a bad experience. The food always comes out hot and fast and has fantastic flavor. It has daily lunch specials plus a full menu to appease a diverse palate. The bar is fully stocked and the staff are very helpful and courteous. I’ve never been here after work hours but if it’s anything like it is at lunch time, you won’t be disappointed.
Great place for lunch ! We sat at the bar and within 60 seconds we had a drink and a menu. We both ordered the lunch special of the day, which was the Chicken fried chicken with mashed potatoes and Green beans. Also came with a side salad which was pretty darn good. The food arrived hot and fresh in about 5 minutes and was delicious. Service was excellent, very friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back.
Had dinner here, love the atmosphere. A little dark, nice brick walls, good bar setup. I thought the drinks were reasonably priced and the food very good! I had fried catfish and my wife had the Monte Cristo sandwich, which she said was one of the best she ever had. We sat at a table and the bartender waited on us so it was a little slow but not bad enough to complain about. In fact considering how many people were sitting at the bar, he did a great job! People were friendly and I thought they had a very lively regular crowd. Had fun!
This is a really cool little tavern. I had been walking around downtown Jackson, exploring the city, on a hot July afternoon. As I was leaving the Greenwood Cemetery after paying my respects to General Barksdale, the moist heat of the Mississippi afternoon became too much to bear and I was overcome with thirst. Yonder beckoned the Ole Tavern, a lighthouse of refreshment in a hot humid world. I staggered through the door, parched and ornery, and was immediately assaulted by the wonderful scents of old polished mahogany, faint wafts of cigar smoke, beer, fine scotch, and leather. Brittany, the gorgeous, happy bartender succored me, bringing me back from the brink of heat exhaustion with mugs ice cold Dixie beer from her tap. Refreshed, I worked my way through plates of fried okra, green tomatoes, and ice cold libations. The law of diminishing utility finally caught up with me, I settled my tab, and wandered back out into the blast furnace of downtown Jackson, fortified for my continuing explorations. This is a definite stop if one ever finds oneself in need of shelter from the brutal humid heat. Stop by and say hello to Brittany.
Kind of dead from when I used to go but still good priced drinks and food atmosphere.
They smoke indoors here like animals. Won't be wasting my money or lungs in that place again. You'll leave smelling like an ashtray.
Great location. Nice crowd. The bartenders however have difficulty seeing people who look like me. The outside space isn’t being used to it’s potential. There should be a bar outside, as well as a DJ especially during the summer months as it would benefit OT. This would be a big relief as the circulation is terrible upstairs making it unbearably, stifling hot.
