  Where do I begin?
  
  This place is for people who are underaged and who act like they do not know how to get drunk.  Every bimbo here dresses and acts the same, slutty way, and all the guys here are complete tools.  If you have any sense of individuality, you will get judged and this place will suck even worse.  The drinks here are a little on the pricey side, and there's also a $5 cover charge.  Why would anybody pay to come here?
  
  The floor here is essentially a giant, stagnant pool of feces, urine and liquor that somehow managed to leave the cup.  It's not at all clean.  The bathrooms were disgusting.  I'm just lucky nobody had thrown up yet when I went and that the sink was still working.
  
  Realistically, this is the only place in Oxford for concerts.  The stage is in a lowered section of the bar.  Sometimes popular bands and musicians come here, and they have VIP sections for those concerts.  If you're a very important person, chances are you're not at this bar, so this section is just a spineless way to make money off of college students who are being funded by daddy.
  
  This is the ONLY place to go in town if you want to buy underaged girls acting like they like you drinks or get into a fight.  Absolutely horrible bar.

  This bar did nothing but make me uncomfortable in every way possible. I walked in well, scooted in because there is really no where to stand and it smelled so bad. Then I am surveying the people and I noticed that every girl in that bar had on the same outfit. It takes forever to get a drink and then you have to deal with 18 year old kids who cannot handle their liquor. Brick Street very well may have been where chlamydia got it's start...

  A crowded, filthy, vomit-inducing mess of a bar that is a public nuisance.  It should be cited for health code violations and serving alcohol to minors.  It is an embarassment that Uptown has a bar as run-down and disgusting as this one as its centerpiece.  It's a revolting pile of putrescence that needs to be stripped of is historical status and torn down.

  I have only been in this place when they are just serving food. Overall, the food isn't bad. I have enjoyed everything I have had and the service was terrific. I forget her name but our waitress made you feel like you were the most important thing in the world. She likes to call you sweetie and honey if I remember right, haha.

  Oh, First Run (this place will always be known as First Run to me). You get two stars for memories alone. You were there for me when I first discovered Amaretto Sours ten years ago and needed a place that wouldn't judge me because just because of the inconvenience of being underage. You embraced me, my freshman "go-get-em" pants and my backless shirts with open arms. You provided me and my fellow freshmen with man candy that wasn't the least bit interested in us.
  
  Yes, I frequented this place a lot when I was 19, and no, I never let a little thing like two gigantic X's on my hands get in the way of enjoying a girly drink or six. I don't know whether theyl've upped the security or what... actually, I don't know much about First Run anymore at all, because the last time I went there, I was only 22 and felt really, really old. After about 5 minutes of being gratuitously felt up on the dance floor, I found a place to sit at the bar and stayed there the rest of the night.
  
  I did eat lunch there about six months ago and the service was really, really bad. The food was okay. I think I got a tomato and mozzarella sandwich. But I would imagine the lunch scene is not why you're reading this review.

  Full of 18yo kids using fake id's and friends to get them drinks.
  I get annoyed every time i step foot inside.
  A good place to get harassed, and judged for being a individual who doesn't look exactly like everyone else.
  
  mon night karaoke is about the only reason i might consider stepping foot inside again.

  Formerly First Run, or as it was referred to back then, Freshmen Run.  It is what it is.  It can be terrible, and it can be glorious.  And sometimes it can be both.  It's usually what you make of it.
