5 Best Bars near Byram

“Our servers name was/is MichelleWe were in earlier in this month as we travel around.Staff is what makes the difference in a place. We had a wonderful server who was attentive, understanding and very kind. My mother is a difficult one at times. Our server was so patient with her and I in general. Mother had a food complaint due to a terrible kitchen error and our server went above and beyond to make things right and very quickly. Food wise I can't say it's the best or the worst. We had considered not patronizing again because of some of the bad or average reviews and past bad staff experiences. But after this visit we will go back if for no other reason than to just chat with this server. She knows how to connect with people and mother, I haven't seen mother so happy after leaving a place in a long time. Good service is a hard thing to find today and they sure have a winner with Michelle. I can't say that we have been impressed by some of the other serve staff and we have tried a few times. But that is a common theme with many places now. However they can do better with staffing. Not trying to be a negative nellie but if it wasn't for this server they have named Michelle we wouldn't come back. She is the glue holding that together. It is more a bar/pool hall than dining place so not our thing necessarily. So as far as this establishment goes, if you want the best experience you've had in a long time then ask for Michelle and I'm sure you'll agree with this review after you've left.“

“What an amazing surprise! A random Wednesday in Jackson? Want amazing music, great food and gorgeous atmosphere? Hal & Mal's is the place! Staff and the band playing were so gentle and wonderful. Not to miss if you're in Jackson!“

“Out of town, again on business, looking for a good place to eat (and have a drink). Well, I landed on The Manship Wood Fired Kitchen. I usually sit at the bar because I'm by myself. Anyway, the bartender (Angela) is knowledgeable on bourbons (what I like). She didn't treat me like I asked stupid questions. Believe me, I asked a lot. I tried her old fashioned and Manhattan (a perfect Manhattan is what I like). Both were very good. I usually make my own at home and love them so I compare to those. They have a great bourbon/rye selection and other spirits - very extensive. I had the Fisherman's style red dish which is blacked. It comes with cauliflower. Dinner was excellent. I ordered the recommended pecan pie cobbler. I'm not a fan of cobbler. This crust is a cornbread crust. Oh my gosh. Trust me on this. (I know you don't know me from Adam to actually trust me, lol) It was amazing. If you like pecan pie and are a connoisseur of it, you will love this. I really have zero negatives about this place. Not the food or service or anything else. Everything was excellent. Visit this place if in the Jackson area. Obviously bar tenders change and so do servers but this place is worth a visit. Do it!!“

“This place was incredible! The staff was super friendly, the food was absolutely amazing, and the vibe was perfect. The place was super busy, so the waitress gave us a free drink, but the food was absolutely worth it. I got the meat lovers calzone, and it was big enough for two adults. The drinks were so tasty, too! And everything was so cheap!!!! I've not had a dining experience this good since before covid. A round of applause for the whole staff!“

“Mike and I have been there several times. Was our favorite hangout. Played cards and dominoes a lot. Haven't been there in awhile. I believe I'll stop by to say hello to some old friends and Debo. She's a really nice lady. The place is over all still my favorite place. Thank you Debo for all the great times we've had.“
