Oklahoma City Data Sheet 2015
I went out and did some research while I have been here on a consulting contract. Also, I lived in Norman about 10 years ago for a few years and went out a lot in OKC but much has changed since then. Caveat, I am in my 40’s (and on the old guy thread) so I hit up a lot of places that I wouldn’t ordinarily go because I wanted a data sheet that would work for other guys on the forum too. My day game is nascent and improving and my night game isn't much better. So I don't have a lot of approach experience in these places. I am here for a few more months so I will update as I continue to work on approaches.
I have only spent time in Oklahoma City, not Norman or Edmond during this time period so I only wrote up OKC.
You have both Uber and Lyft in OKC. Everything is spread out except for the brick town and deep deuce area so you can do a lot of Ubering here.
Lots of fat chicks here so the thin ones are way overvalued.
-Bricktown
This is the primary place where most people would want to run night game. All the 8/9/10’s I know go out here with their groups of friends on Friday and Saturday nights. I have some but not a lot of experience in bricktown personally. Only been going out there for about a month.
FYI, Rok Bar, Citywalk, and Sky bar are all closed now (these used to be popular places).
Club One15: inherited the Sky Bar crowd. This is the primary place for hot 20 somethings. Fri and Sat only.
Candy: similar to Club One15, slightly lower quality, 6’s, 7’s, has pole dancers, a model I know that is about a 8 or 9 used to dance there.
Many other bars and clubs in brick town but these are the top ones if you are going to suit up and hit it hard. Some more in bricktown:
Circus: less of a nightclub, more casual, still has a good crowd.
Whiskey Chicks: Meh, sometimes good, earlier in the evening or swooping at 1:30am before last call ;-) (2:00am by law in Oklahoma which means 1:45 in most bars)
Dollhouse has burlesque shows but is full of fat chicks that are wannabe burlesque dancers and groups of chubby women.
One notable mention just outside of bricktown and deep deuce is the Red Prime Steakhouse which has a small bar that at times is good when with a wing and you want a steak. Kinda pricy.
-Deep Deuce (Just north of brick town)
Aloft Hotel: a good bar on ground level where some chicks go to pre-game. Could run game here. I have used this place to meet girls for a drink when I have pipelined online. They have an awesome rooftop patio that is usually empty and so I get a drink with my date and bring her to the roof for isolation and kino. Can smoke on rooftop.
WHSKY Lounge: Good for a venue change from ALoft as it is very close, has bar and tables, can run night game here. I had a female wing one night and got a bunch of chicks checking me out. I have mostly used it when I wanted to venue change from the Aloft hotel as it is one block away and has food late at night. A cigar bar so good for smoking.
Urban Johnnie bar & Grille: earlier in the evening, closes early but has a bar scene.
-23rd Street between Broadway and Classen
This area has taken off recently and become a much more happening place for game.
Pump Bar: this is one of the best new places for 20 somethings and a must for night game, possibly the afternoons on the weekends also. Casual crowd. They have a huge outdoor seating area so in winter it is not going to be the best but when it is warm this place is hopping.
Guyutes: just opened with rooftop bar that has been busy. Not sure about the scene.
-10th and Classen Drive (One block cluster of bars and restaurants).
James McNellies: packed bar. I know of one friend that pulled there. But a sausage fest most of the time.
Bossa Nova: rooftop bar was cool but has been closed.
Stella: restaurant with bar
Louies: this bar can be hopping but the talent is low.
1492: restaurant with bar
O Bar on top of Ambassador Hotel: rooftop bar. This place can be perfect for a venue change or a place to post up for a while. Superb quality 8/9s on Friday and Saturdays. Sometimes very dead.
My recommendation is to hit one or two or all of these bars as they are right in the same area, one block basically.
-Classen Ave.
Kamps: Wednesday night this place is 18 to enter, 21 to drink. Think about it. They have a dance night on wednesdays call Robotic Wednesdays. Lots of young chicks here. I was seeing a 19 year old that would meet me at a hotel, then go dance, then come back to the hotel for a nightcap. A definite one on the list. Crowd is a bit young for me to try and night game. Do not suit up here. It would be way overkill.
Gastropub: This is a MAJOR place for more upscale chicks and professional chicks. Basically more women in their 30's. But you see some dressed up 9's and 10's. There is a bar where you can post up and do some damage. Lot of booths in the place isolate a lot of chicks. Could walk around through the booths and look for openings.
-Western Ave.
Barrel: newer bar and restaurant with a bigger bar area that has some action.
Lobby Bar: also a cafe, try day game here and earlier in the evening.
Sushi Neko: about the most popular place for sushi. If you went with a wing or two you could hit the bar and tables here. Quality 8/9/10's.
-Farther North in OKC
Bakers St. - this place has been the legendary meat market where everyone I know has some crazy story about picking up some 4 or 5 in a drunken haze. Friday and Saturday nights. One of my friends sister met her husband here. I think it is worth a shot but way north in the city so you have to drive or Uber. Famously asshole bouncers. This is where you might go to do a lot of throwaway approaches. But you will probably be successful.
Groovy’s: this is a strange but fun place. It is basically a disco for 30/40 somethings but gets a mixed 20’s/30’s/40’s crowd. Has a cover and dress code. Big dance floor where you can run dance game and probably get a 30/40 something drunk MILF any weekend. Plays lots of old music. I think that any chick in this place went there to pick up a guy. It has that reputation. Last time I went I was with my girlfriend at the time but both my friends got girls.
-Artwalks
Plaza District - Live On The Plaza - Second Friday of the month. This is the best one for evening as there are a lot of people that come from OKC, Edmond, Norman to walk around the Plaza District for the Live on the Plaza event. This area is good for sidewalk gaming on any Friday or Saturday night as there is actually a big sidewalk area for people to walk and mingle. I would put this on the must do list. Warning, it is pretty hipster.
Paseo Arts district - First Friday of each month art walk. Also check out Picasso's and the bar next to it. However, this is not a quality place. No 9's or 10's here.
-Online
OkCupid is pretty fucking gross in this town. SIFs and not so secret ones. I have had some success here but this year it has seemed to die. I have asked some 7/8/9's that I have met if they have been on OKCupid and none of them here have said yes. A few had been on tinder but here they don't have to as their social scene and bricktown nights give them plenty of attention.
POF is even grossser than OKCupid in Oklahoma
Tinder is good and has really taken off this summer in OKC.
Seeking Arrangement is good. I'm older so I run this a lot with a quick disqualifier for the ones that ask for money. Much better explanations on the Seeking Arrangement thread.
-Gyms
Golds Gym on Northwest Expressway is popular and has a good clientele for gym game.
Western Ave Boxing Gym kicks ass and you can go month to month if you are visiting.
Rocktown Climbing Gym downtown and is world class.
The Lighthouse is popular for the triathlete crowd that I know. Has a pool. Northside OKC.
YMCA downtown is good if you are staying downtown.
Several crossfit locations.
-Hotels
ALoft, Colcord, and Skirvin Hilton are cool and notable hotels downtown that would impress someone if you were staying there. My fave is the ALoft for a downtown stay and part of my ALoft/WSKY Bar strategy.
Coffee shops
Both Coffee Slingers and Elemental, in Midtown, are potentials for day game but are somewhat hipster. Starbucks on Northwest Expressway is open late. Two other good starbucks are on N. May and Western Ave. in Nichols Hills (an enclosed suburb of OKC)
I don't go to strip clubs so I didn't write about them.
I will work on more specific day game guide.
Also, there is a very sizable Latino population here and I do speak spanish but I have yet to try and find the good salsa, merengue, bachata clubs. It is on my list to-do.
