Great service and great food. The specials are always creative and interesting. Atmosphere is super casual. On the bar side there are plenty of huge screens, but there is also a dining room side that doesn't have all of the distractions if that's what you're looking for. Prices are very reasonable and portions are large.

Cozy, quaint restaurant/bar in downtown Oxford. We enjoyed the atmosphere and food! Our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and checked on us frequently. We will definitely visit again when we are in the area.

5 stars do not even do this place justice. Some of the best wings in the area and maybe even the whole state (order them tap style). Also, the Irish eyes fries and mac and cheese are out of this world as well. Hot food, cold beer, plenty of TVs and friendly staff make this a must stop for anyone in the area.

What a great find! Huge menu, lots of unique dishes. Our server, Cass, was phenomenal! Got our food quickly, everything was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing! Would recommend their signature dishes and getting there early. It got super-busy on Friday night at 6:00.

We have been here a few times & the food was great. And the prices are fair. Gluten free mac & cheese - yummy & very cheesy. Reuben - very good. Fish tacos - very good, warning they are spicey. Chicken strips - freshly battered and delicious. Sweet potato fries have cinnamon and sugar are delicious with the honey mustard sauce. The Tap Room sliders and burgers are great. Cobb salad very good. Perch dinner great.

First time visiting the Oxford Tap Room. This is what a classic bar should be. Love the selection of beverages. The music wasn't so loud that you couldn't have a nice conversation even near the bar. And the staff was delightful with cute smiles that were very infectious all night long. The wings are crunchy and juicy. The ghost pepper sauce had a good kick to it. The burgers were juicy and very tasty. I will definitely come here again next time I'm in town

We have been coming here for years. It’s always good. But tonight it was over the top for some reason. Franzie took great care of us. The food was amazing. I’d say the best meal we have had out in a long time. Even the drinks were perfect! We will have to spend more time here in the future. Well done Tap!

We Absolutely Loved this place. This was our first time. We went on Valentine's Day and even with the Rush, everything was Delicious and Fresh, and great service. Their appetizers are SO SO YUMMY. We tried the waffle fries app mmm, the potstickers mmmm and the Steak tips mmmmm... And We Were So Pleased, we Smashed everything. It is Beyond Hard trying to find a Restaurant that not only cooks fresh food but also Tasty Food and The Oxford Tap has it all. You will Not Be Disappointed. Atmosphere is super cool in the bar area. Sitting area was more family's, but quiet and comfortable. My only complaint was that my Whiskey Sour was Horrible! But I didn't go there for drinks so it wasn't that big of a deal.

This is not a chain type bar. Very home grown and folksy. Plenty of TVs for sporting events. Plenty of big tables for large groups. A restaurant next door to get food from or sit down in there. Definitely plan on going back.
