About this restaurant

Great for creative cocktails
Good for special occasions
Hot spot

We are Oxford’s neighborhood restaurant and “living room,” affectionately regarded as such by former executive chef, Chef Vishwesh Bhatt, and Oxonians alike. In 2009, the founder of the City Grocery Restaurant Group, Chef John Currence, situated our “Southern Brasserie” just off The Square in the now-revived Midtown Shopping Center. In support of our community, we strive to use local ingredients whenever possible. We are the place for fresh raw oysters on the half shell, skillfully-crafted cocktails, and wistful fare by the “Snackbar Trio”: Thomas “T.H.” Freeland, Sebastian Markowitz, and Bryan Sapp. Let us show you a truly memorable experience. You are welcome here. Our door is open to all.

Service was great. French onion soup was great. Fried chicken was overcooked. Crust was dark brown, almost burned. Oil was probably too hot when cooked. Would recommend the restaurant, but not the fried chicken.

My sister and I made a last minute reservation and enjoyed a fabulous meal at Shackbar! Our server, Raja was knowledgeable and friendly, describing our drink, wine and menu items. We didn’t order a lot but the oysters, french onion soup and monte cristo sandwich were outstanding! We highly recommend Snackbar and hope to visit again! Thank you to Raja and the entire staff for a lovely experience.

As usual, the experience was outstanding. It was graduation weekend, which made it extremely crowded and a bit louder than usual. Overall, the experience remained fantastic.
