The Guest Room

I wasn't sure if I had found the place at first as it was just a back alley door yet this played into the speakeasy feel of the establishment. The atmosphere was fairly dark with warm lighting making it great for a more upscale dinner date or an informal business discussion. Fine drink selection with expected food. Filet mignon was perfectly cooked to medium rare but the sides were your run of the mill mash and seasoned vegetables. Service was extremely helpful at suggesting a drink to my taste and describing the menu entrees.

We had an amazing time. The bartenders were great. This is the best time I've had in Starkville since Alabama beat Mississippi State here.

The Guest Room is so good! I would have never known about it if someone hadn’t told me exactly where it is located. They always have a variety of handcrafted cocktail drinks that are amazing. They also have wine flights offered by their sommelier, and she will personally come out and tell you all about the different wines. I would highly recommend checking this place out if you’re in the area!

Excellent drinks and staff. The food was amazing. I had the bone-in cold smoked pork chop, which is a signature entree, with the cheese grits as the starch, and paired it with a good cabernet sauvignon. Dessert was a smoked bourbon peach cake. An exceptional meal and experience.

Little upscale underground bar, with an old tavern like ambiance and decor. If you don’t know where it is, turn left from the restaurant Tyler ( facing the city hall) and take the alley back ( written as one way). Then it is on the left hand side. But it’s not written anywhere. So just pull the door and take the stair down. The inside is quite dark and lit with mild lights and candles. We were there just for the drink and sat on the bar. Though it was crowded and fully packed on a busy weekend night, we never felt less cozy. The bartenders were nice and certainly know their job. We spent three hours and drank a few speciality cocktails. All of them were experimental and different for me. They have a lot of food options too. I loved the place and will definitely go back again. Update: returned again- and this time drank house mule. It was great.

As someone visiting from Dallas, Texas, I wasn’t sure what to expect from the food scene in Starkville but this spot seriously impressed me. I ordered the ribeye cooked medium rare, and it came out absolutely perfect. The sear was beautiful, the inside was tender and juicy, and every bite was packed with flavor. You can tell they know how to cook a steak right. On top of that, I tried three different cocktails, and each one was phenomenal. Balanced, flavorful, and crafted with care not just thrown together. It’s rare to find a place that nails both the food and the drinks, but they absolutely delivered.

This establishment offers a quite outstanding experience: there is no visible sign of a somewhat official entry just a door in a random back alley wall but once you’ve entered you stumble into another dimension: good ol’ speakeasy vibes all over the place! The cocktails are outstanding, prices are reasonable, the bartenders are masters of their craft. I had a really good time taking to Will. And if you do enjoy the occasional sip you better get moving to this fine establishment!

The Guest Room is a lovely bar with a speakeasy atmosphere, and they serve the delicious food from upstairs at Restaurant Tyler. My husband and I had a great time and an even greater meal, and we would definitely go back.

This was a pretty cool place. The entrance is hidden in the back alley. There was no sign. Upon entering, I wasn't expecting what I found. It's a cool bar and restaurant. We had a couple drinks and they were good and we only had the fried okra appetizer. All were very good. We did not try any entrees. This is a great place to go for a date night.
