bars

If you want something done right, do it yourself ... these Texas DIY bars will let you.

"Happy hour" has a rather surprising origin story that dates back to the 1800s, but it's still illegal in these states.

If you're a fan of classic vintage arcade games then this is the place for you. Imagine reliving the "Good Old Days" at the arcade and playing all your favorites once again. Well, you can. Check out this Oklahoma retro arcade.

Have you heard about Oklahoma's newest speakeasy? It's an incredible place to grab a drink, kick back, relax and hang out with friends. But first, you have to find it!

There's a park and pub in Oklahoma City, OK. that welcomes the entire family, including the family dog, or dogs. It's one of the most unique, if not one-of-a-kind places in the Sooner State. That's right you can take your four-legged friend to this incredible park and pub for some good times along with great eats, drinks and treats!

Imagine stepping back in time and hitting the arcade to play some of your favorite video games of all time! Well, you can do just that at this flashback retro Oklahoma arcade. It's like going back to the 80s with all the music, movies, and of course VIDEO GAMES!

Get ready, the one and only Chef Gordon Ramsay is coming to OKC! That's right, the star of Hell's Kitchen, MasterChef, and Kitchen Nightmares is planning on opening a new restaurant at Chisholm Creek, Oklahoma City's premier entertainment district.

Now this is a really cool idea and one I would have never thought of. There's a dog park that's also a restaurant and pub in Oklahoma City called Solo's Park & Pub. It's located at 13310 Pawnee Drive in OKC so it's just a short trip down I-44 and about an hour or so away from Lawton, Fort Sill. It's the perfect place to take the entire family, including the dog!

The 11:00pm curfew for Oklahoma bars and restaurants has been lifted! Over the past 2 days a lot has happened with the mandatory curfew and the extension of Oklahoma's COVID-19 state of emergency orders or mandates. Earlier this week news broke that District Judge Susan Stallings extended a temporary restraining order that put a hold on the enforcement of the curfew for the next 6 months. Several Oklahoma bars and restaurants have filed lawsuits over the curfew and challenged it's enforcement.

Unfortunately there's another local business closing due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Mountain Boomer Tavern announced last week that they would be closing their doors permanently.

Well the wait's almost over. Lawton bars, taverns and nightclubs will finally re-open this Friday (05-15-20). It's been a long time and I know the owners, operators and staff will be excited to return to work and to see all their usual customers.
