The Side Bar

Hidden gem in Lawton - great cocktail bar in a cool setting. Super friendly service from the staff. You expect this kind of bar in the streets of New York or Chicago, definitely not in Lawton. A must visit when in the area. Note: this is a cash only place!!!

Very nice upscale saloon in a place it wouldn't be expected. Good selection of scotch, Islas, not just the standard Highland top shelf. Bourbons include Woodford Reserve, Old Forester, Makers and Knob Creek as well as a super interesting offering from Rouge. I'm not really into white liquor, but my lady friends say they have several interesting gins and that the mixed drinks are super good. Staff is super friendly and if you find yourself in Lawton it would be a shame to miss it.

Nice place opend 4 days ago. WORTH checking it out for sure opening hours are on pic and sunday open till 6pm.

The bar is very judgmental. Don’t dare disagree here with any type of service or you will be banned or booted out. You don’t even have to say a word you will be disrespected and still be considered the disrespectful one even if you said less than three words of disagreement I would be careful at this bar, especially if your Military they have no respect for the military, they could care less they have a very customer is always wrong attitude. Bartending and bars are all about Customer Service. Customer is not always right but the customer sure isn’t always wrong. Be careful you have been warned their mindset is they can allways fill a seat and get more people to drink

So this place is literally across from the hotel. Definitely a place that beats a few other bars in town. Had live music! Historical vibe, water/beer pong, corn hole. Great service. Only change I recommend is they invest into better corn hole boards. Other than that this place is great. All walks of life are welcome here. Only down fall is there’s only one bathroom. Don’t forget to tip your bartender. Also it is cash only.

This is a great little bar and the service was terrific. This is actually one of the cooler watering holes I've been to in a while. It's local down home Lawton with a touch of Jimmy Buffett. The old newspaper nostalgia and decor are a nice touch. I had a good shot of Johnny Walker Gold on a cube of ice. Smoking is allowed so non-smokers beware.

Nice decor one very rude bar tender. We hadn't left yet and she is angry that we hadn't left her tip. The fact is we haven't given to her a tip yet. Very rude and demanding. She felt so entitled for a tip even though we had to go to get our own drinks while she was our waitress. The place has potential. The owner needs to hire professional and mature bar tenders instead of pretty faces with entitled attitudes. She got a tip after her tantrum.

If you ever are passing through Lawton/Ft.Sill Oklahoma, you should definitely make a stop at this great little local pub. The decor is very well done, the beer and liquor select is good, and the bartender is lively, but what makes it great are the customers, a happy diverse bunch of good people who Gladdy welcome outsiders. It's a telling sign of the good nature of the owner by the company he keeps.👍👍
