Rhythm & Rye was born from Oxford’s love of gathering around food, music, and stories.

Our rooftop restaurant blends the soul of the South with the spirit of a lounge, inviting guests to slow down, savor, and connect.

Here, Southern flavors meet a bourbon-kissed twist, and live music brings fresh rhythm to the night. Whether it’s a Rebels win, Sunday brunch, or discovering a new songwriter under the stars, Rhythm & Rye is where moments linger long after the last bite.

Just as the interiors tell a story through material and memory, the food delivers its own narrative—one rooted in Southern soul with a modern hand. Signature plates, like butter-seared filet medallions topped with bourbon garlic cream and Creole-spiced shrimp and grits, celebrate depth and flavor without losing their sense of heritage.

Each dish is plated with intention, highlighting seasonal ingredients and thoughtful techniques that mirror the space's aesthetic: refined, layered, and soulful.
