Oklahoma City: Nightlife and entertainment
Newly established progressive restaurants and clubs, especially those in Bricktown, attempt to part Oklahoma City from its cowtown image. The Crown Heights district north of downtown pulls in a younger crowd, but perhaps your best bet is to head for the campus nightlife of Norman , a thirty-minute drive south, which is home to the University of Oklahoma. Wednesday's Oklahoma Gazette , along with lively articles, carries good listings.Bricktown Brewer 1 Oklahoma Ave tel 405/232-BREW. Large brewpub, with giant tanks of beer on show in its restaurant and live jazz most nights.
Bricktown 54 7 Mickey Mantle Drive tel 405/235-5454. A dance club for trendy singles crowd, featuring '70s and '80s disco; also has a dress code.
In Cahoots 2301 S Meridian Ave tel 405/686-1191. Popular dance hall and saloon with nightly live music ranging from country to indie rock, R&B to rap. Quite a way southwest of downtown, but worth the trip. Hours and cover vary.
