“THEATRE in OKC”

Theatre is thriving in Oklahoma City. We caught Trailer Park on Friday, but the standout was Sunday Gospel Brunch. The show was amazing; I haven't laughed that hard in ages, and it's a must-see when visiting the city. Their hamburger was really good.

“Boom on Wednesday”

Nice bar with fun and interactive entertainment in the back, plus karaoke up front. It drew a decent crowd even on a weekday night. We all had a great time.

“Go somewhere else”

This place is awful, stay away if you can. The drag performers are subpar and the service is even worse. The drag acts are tacky, and you should skip the bar entirely. They charge way more than necessary to keep the place running.
