Round Table On The Square

Met up here to grab a beer or two with some friends from home. It seemed like a pretty fun place with an outdoor area/bar as well as indoor area/bar and upstairs balcony. Looked like the place to go for juniors/seniors at Ole Miss. Beer prices were also pretty good -- $2 for a miller.The one-star, however, is because of a shady business practice that apparently is quite common in Oxford these days. Whenever I pay with a card, every bar I have ever been to asks me whether I want to close the tab or leave it open. However, the bartender did not mention it, and I forgot about it as well. I really think if the customer doesn't tell you to close/open the tab, then the default should be to CLOSE it. I found out the next day that after only one $2 beer, they added a $10 tip for themselves. I would have tipped anyway (maybe not something so ridiculous for opening a single bottle of beer), but the fact that this is common practice as a way to swindle your customers out of more money is absolutely shameful. I would have called to complain, but $10 isn't worth it, and I didn't keep my receipt anyway. If you find yourself here, or at most other bars on the Square, do yourself a favor and pay with cash.

I went to round table in mid July, and after waiting in line for an hour on what was probably the hottest day of the year, the door man 'Griffin' denied me because I was wearing open toed shoes. I tried to get an explanation from him, but he simply refused and forced me out of the line. He was also sweating profusely, and by the time he moved me out of line I was completely drenched in his sweat and smelled like a double chalupa supreme from Taco Bell. I decided to cut my loses, but returned for Sunday night drinks with my girlfriend hoping my luck might change. I arrived only to see Griffin again, and he denied me for being a "problem customer." While I was walking away incredibly frustrated, he hollered "use a condom loser!" Incredibly inappropriate Griffin. I hope you don't use the same language around your significant other.

Horrible service tonight!! Very regular customer and was treated like shit tonight. Horrible management. I hope the owners see this and would like to know why they are losing a good customer.

Incredible experience. Service was top notch. Came from Chicago and couldn't have been happier. If you go ask for Jack. You won't be disappointed.

This is probably one of the best new bars on the Square in a long time. They have decent beer prices and a nice back patio. They have an upstairs but unfortunately no balcony (I hope they build a balcony as the Oxford Square has some amazing but small bar balcony space which is often in short supply). I've never eaten the food but it seems the menu has changed often over the course of this place's existence. The current menu looks decent but small and as it has been open for awhile and I'm the first review on Yelp that doesn't add my confidence level to try the food quite yet so this is just a review of the bar as I've experienced it so far.

Excellent service from Alexis M aka Alexi sexy gave me the perfect amount of ice cubes. A perfect chilled beer. With a smile on her face. Impeccable service.

Do not go here unless you pay in cash. Even if you ask to only open 1 tab they will open multiples. When I asked to pay out my tabs I was only given one receipt and was told I was only charged one time. I had seen on my bank app that I had already been charged 3 times and asked the bartender and he said don't worry about and wouldn't let me close my other tabs. I later say that I was still charged 3 times and tips were added to those charges making my total an extra $23. I'm going to try to dispute it with my bank but never pay with card here.

This place charges a ridiculous cover and then they give you the boot a half hour before they're supposed to close.How do college kids afford cover taxes

The newly-minted 21-year-old "doormen" are assholes. I tried going with my REAL ID. After continually bending it and arguing with me about its authenticity, THEY BROKE IT. I had to go to the DMV the next day. Also, drinks are standard, rarely gave any worthwhile specials and the food sucks. Spend your time and money elsewhere.

This place has double charged me for what is now like the 10th time. They take advantage of drunk college kids by putting in separate POS systems at every bar so if you open a tab you have to go back to that same one everytime. No matter how long the line is for it. Even now knowing that they have separate POS systems, I'll go to the same bar and still somehow get charged twice. This place is unbelievable. Save your money and try somewhere else.
