Starkville Guide:
Liquor Laws:
- Cold Beer sold at gas stations and grocery stores.
- Liquor is only sold in liquor stores. They open at 10AM and close at 10PM. Not open on Sunday.
- On gameday the police won't care if you are drinking. I would suggest you put it in a cup, but unless you are acting like an ass, the police won't say anything to you.
Bars:
The Cotton District - Area close to campus within walking distance to the stadium. Good spot for a few pregame drinks if you aren't tailgating.
Bin 612 - Nice patio area. usually just college kids, but on gameday its a pretty mixed crowd. This can be said for all Cotton District bars.
Drifters
Fountain Bar
Stagger Inn
Gringos
Klaas Room
2 Brothers
Downtown- On the same street, just further down than the Cotton District.
Moe's BBQ
Hobie's on Main
The Guest Room- This bar is in the basement of Restaurant Tyler. No sign or advertising, but it's there. Really cool prohibition style speakeasy. Great cocktails, but can be tough to get in. Pretty limited capacity; maybe 70 or so.
Restaurants:
- Restaurant Tyler- Great high end southern food. Good Drinks and cocktails. Steaks too
- The Veranda- America Food. Burgers, steaks, sandwiches. Also a decent bar, but serves an older crowd 30+
- 2 Brothers- Great BBQ. Middle of the Cotton District
- Dave's Darkhorse- Great Pizza. Very much a dive bar, and not for everyone but it's a good spot to eat and drink.
- Lil Dooey- BBQ. Starkville Staple
- Mugshots- Good burgers and very close to the stadium
- Bulldog Burger- Burgers obviously, and in the Cotton District. Maybe a good pre game spot.
- Obys- Great lunch spot. New Orleans Style Poboys and cuisine.
- Others- just look up on Yelp.
