Ah the young professional OKC watering hole... the amount of times I've been to this place...
My one time I had a normal sit down reservation dinner here was lovely. We split an appetizer and pizza and got some cocktails. I also did brunch once, and I ended up really not liking the dish I ordered, and they graciously gave me something else. All in all though... it's expensive, so not my go to as a grad student on a tight budget.
For concerts, the venue is pretty fun, but the sound has never been the best. Don't expect a life changing auditory experience, but it's chill and big enough but also intimate enough.
For just regular bar nights, that's where I have the most experience. I will say it's hands down the easiest place to bring a large group. I just kind of default to it now over trying to stress over the logistics of squishing my friends somewhere smaller/more divey. The drinks aren't terribly expensive if you don't order anything wild. On a busy night, I try not to order anything intricate because I feel bad having them work on it for so long. Quieter nights are great to try through the seasonal cocktail menu though because they have really fun drinks on there. I will order a Disco Nap whenever I can though because it truly is incredible. Honestly, the best time is just standing around with a group near the main bar inside. Now that it's winter, the patio gets really really warm with the heaters. Basically, do not expect to have a seat anywhere in the building unless you want to cook on the patio or only have two people and can grab bar seats. Also, the music can get ridiculously loud, and I am an old woman at heart and end up just yelling.
The hidden secret is the upstairs bar. On a quieter night when it isn't reserved for an event, it is lovely up there. I sometimes call ahead to see if it's open :) They have ingredients and training that the downstairs bartenders don't have. I love love love the Hotel Georgia cocktail with orange blossom water, nutmeg, and egg whites.
Ok I think that's all for now. Sorry for the absolute ESSAY! I have endless opinions if anyone ever wants to know more LOL. Thank you! I do appreciate the Jones, and I can assure you I will be back...
