Starkville needs a bar with outdoor space similar to Loflin Yard/Railgarten in Memphis and Fondren Public in Jackson. Fairly easy set up with plenty of room for folks after events. With Stromboli’s tearing down their old garage I feel like they could do something similar on a smaller scale.

I was in Birmingham a few weeks ago for work and went to Avondale brewing that has an outdoor space like you’re talking about. It was a fun atmosphere and you’re right something like that would do well in Starkville.

I think this is what the new place across from Rosie Baby's is trying to do. They have a big open courtyard in between the two structures.

There used to be a big patio and bar out back of Lil Dooey - boar's head?. Not sure if it's still there or not.

Been told the new building for Two Brothers will have a good size patio and room room for live music.

I think as the Cotton District grows and with the "go cup" rule, that part of University should be shut down on Friday/Saturday nights of game weekends and other heavy times and a band should be on the corner by the fountain to serve all the bars in the vicinity. People can come and go, etc.

Something like "The Gulf" in Orange Beach would be cool. Make it large enough to have some outdoor stages in day time and indoor music at night.

Supposedly right on University behind the location where they are currently located........... either going to demo that house at the stop sign or on the vacant lot next to the house, was not clear from the person telling me.

Yes that house is already down. That area is going to change dramatically with the new mixed use on the campus side of Rue du Gran Fromage coming in as well.
As for the music venue from the OP, I used to think that it was a matter of not bringing in acts that were "college popular", but now I think it has more to do with having more out of state students in town on weekends and having a critical mass of willing participants.

Went to Railgarten for the first time a couple weeks ago. Starkville should definitely get a place like that!
