Our historic 1910 building located on George St in Downtown Jackson has transformed from a Grocery to a Restaurant/Bar in 1973 where many famous musicians have graced Ole Tavern with their talents. We also have lingering ghost who likes to cause mischief from time to time! In 2008 Jason & Shannon Cockrell purchased the building and renovated to what is now know as Ole Tavern on George St. We have

captured the essences of the South’s unique culinary flair and good Ole Fashioned Home Cooking inspired by the tantalizing flavors from Jackson, MS to New Orleans, LA. Cuisine ranges from Fried Green Tomatoes, Pimento Cheese Fritters, Seared Tuna Sandwich, King George Burger, Shrimp & Grits, Cajun Gumbo, Red Beans & Rice to Fried Catfish. We have a very active night life to offer Downtown Jackson and surrounding areas as well as tasty cuisine. Monday Night Pub Quiz
Wednesday Night Karaoke
Thursday Night Ladies Night
Friday Night Music Therapy
Saturday Night Live Music

We pride ourselves on booking local artist and are constantly searching for bands. If you are interested in booking your band please email Jason Cockrell @ [email protected].

Borrowed a meme, but gave it some George Street flavor.

We joke about lettuce, but food safety is no joke. We keep up with alerts, we work closely with our suppliers, and we handle everything the right way every day. After 118 years, we’re not letting lettuce win. What’s the funniest meme you’ve seen this week?

🍗 Some meals just feel like home.

Today is one of those days at Ole Tavern on George Street.

Our Chicken Fried Chicken is hand-breaded, fried until golden, and smothered in creamy sawmill gravy, the kind of Southern comfort that brings back memories of Sunday dinners and family gathered around the table.

Today’s plate includes:
🍗 Chicken Fried Chicken w/sawmill gravy
🥔 Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes
🌿 Fresh Farmers Market Veggie
🍞 Warm Roll
🥗 FREE Organic Garden Side Salad with your choice of house-made dressing
🧋FREE TEA

For 118 years, people have walked through these doors to share a meal, catch up with friends, and make memories. We’d love for you to be part of that story today.

Happy 250th Birthday, America. 🇺🇸

Today, July 4th, 2026, we celebrate 250 years of this country!! 250 years of freedom, courage, sacrifice, hard work, dreams, struggle, resilience, and hope.

America has never been perfect, but she has always been worth believing in. She is the stories of our grandparents and great-grandparents. She is small towns, big cities, front porches, church bells, corner stores, family tables, soldiers who never came home, farmers in the field, workers on the line, mothers praying, fathers building, children dreaming, and communities coming together when times get hard.

She is the right to keep trying.�The right to speak.�The right to worship.�The right to build something from nothing.�The right to chase a dream even when the road is long.

Today I’m thankful for every person who helped build this country, every veteran who defended it, every family who sacrificed for it, and every American still working to make it better.

Celebrating from historic George Street in downtown Jackson, Mississippi. ❤️🤍💙

My family and I will be attending
Stars, Stripes & Symphony with the Mississippi Symphony Orchestra tonight at the Two Mississippi Museums’ Entergy Plaza, 222 North Street, Jackson, MS 39201, just about 4 minutes from George Street.

The event is from 5 PM – 9 PM, with the symphony beginning at 7:30 PM and fireworks at dark. Bring your lawn chair or blanket and come enjoy a beautiful night in downtown Jackson.

George Street will open at 9:30 PM following the event.

Support Jackson. Celebrate safely. Love your people. Honor this country. And let’s keep showing up for this city we love.

Wishing everyone a safe and happy holiday.
Hope to see y’all at the Two Mississippi Museums!!

May we never forget where we came from.�May we honor those who came before us.�May we take care of each other better.�And may God continue to bless the United States of America.

Happy 250th Birthday, America. 🇺🇸
