First of all, I am not from Lawton. I lived here from '98 to '05 and come back from time to time to…read moresee relatives and old friends. I was here recently and low and behold, I found this gem. The Side Bar is a true diamond in the rough of what is Lawton, Oklahoma. The owner(s) is definitely not a local and why he would live here is beyond me. BUT the ambiance, decor, and cosmopolitan look is very well done and stands up with any great bar in Deep Ellum or Lower Greenville. It's only when the clientele open their mouths do you realize, "yup, I'm still in Lawton, Oklahoma." The bartenders are not just cute but actually were attentive (more so than many places in Dallas) and, considering it is Lawton, Oklahoma, know what a Manhattan is as well as an Old Fashioned. Unfortunately they served without rye but I don't hold it against them (looking at you management/owner) because I was immediately told about it. I'm looking forward to asking for a sazerac or a cosmopolitan on my next visit so hopefully they have the goods. The only issue I had with the staff (IF he is on the payroll) was some idiot who treated the music as his own personal playlist; diverse clientele be damned. Even the bartenders were annoyed at him but he straightened up once the owner was on site. Also, there is a lot of smoke/vaping but I give that a pass since, well, it is Lawton, Oklahoma. PROS: Atmosphere; diverse crowd; attentive bartenders who knew how to make a drink without googling it; owner seems cool CONS: CASH ONLY (but there is an ATM just outside); may be out of liquor for classic cocktails; smoking/vaping; idiot wannabe DJ In closing: I would have given a 5 star if the liquor was stocked (in spite of the idiot dj). BUT I will be back again and have already recommended to the locals I know there

There weren't a lot of options and this looked to be the best bet for late night drinks in a nicer setting. Wow, what a pleasant surprise this place was! The place isn't huge but offers a variety of pleasant seating in a communal layout. It's nicely decorated but strikes a balance where just about anyone can feel welcome regardless of how formally or casually they're dressed. But the real stars of the show are the cocktails. When I was there, they offered their standard menu plus a summer one. I ordered the Lavender Bubble Bath and the Old Fashioned (rye substitute) and my friend ordered the Blue Lagoon and the Just Peachy. The Lavender Bubble Bath and Blue Lagoon had so much attention to detail on presentation. The Lavender Bubble Bath came with a little rubber ducky and a sprig of lavender bathing in a ceramic bathtub of foamy egg white. The beautifully blue Blue Lagoon was delivered in a small fishbowl complete with Swedish Fish candy. I enjoyed both my drinks and my friend enjoyed her Blue Lagoon. She didn't care for the Just Peachy as much, finding it a little too strong. But she did enjoy the peach garnish it came with. Overall, if you're looking for an excellent cocktail bar anywhere near the Bridgeport area, I highly recommend paying Locality a visit.

Honestly if it wasn't for the Togo container I would have thought the bar had a full kitchen too. Any way the service was excellent with a great beer selection of Oklahoma beer and cocktails Togo!

You walk through a tiny, almost hidden door, head up a long stairwell, and suddenly you're in this moody, library-style space that feels equal parts speakeasy and literary hideout. It's intimate, dimly lit, and full of character. The cocktails are where this place really shines. The Homemade Smoking Jacket is a standout -- smoky, balanced, and thoughtfully crafted. The espresso martini was also excellent: smooth, bold, and not overly sweet. You can tell they take their cocktail program seriously. Why four stars instead of five? It's small and can feel tight when busy, and you may need a little patience depending on the crowd. But honestly, that's part of the charm. If you're looking for a unique, tucked-away spot in Denton with excellent drinks and a cool vibe, this is absolutely worth the climb up the stairs.

The restaurant is large with a nice bar area and the service was very friendly and efficient! Apps: Chili Momos (Veg) and Gobi Manchurian - the momos were super crispy and the sauce was very spicy in a good way! The Manchurian was so saucy and packed with flavor. Recommend both! Mains: Himalayan Thukpa, Palak Paneer, Malai Kofta - the Thukpa was the highlight! The broth was perfectly salty with a great umami taste. The Malai Kofta was rich and I enjoyed the cheesy koftas. The Palak Paneer was tasty, but I enjoyed the malai and thukpa more! Dessert: Pistachio Cheesecake - delicious! More like a pistachio ice cream cake, but it was so good and not too sweet!

The Himalayan thali was the highlight naan so soft it felt like clouds, and lentil curry that carried deep, cozy flavors. The chowmein with lamb and chicken had that smoky stir-fry kick, and the momos were a joy to try. The butter tikka momos were creamy and rich, while the choila momos with the chef's sauce brought a spicy spark that stayed with me. The drinks matched the season perfectly. The Gurkhas Old Fashioned was smooth with a twist, and the hot rum punch felt like warmth in a glass just right for winter. The place itself was cozy, with a vibe that made me want to linger. Even during busy hours the staff stayed friendly, though the food took a little longer to arrive. Still, the service felt welcoming. Altogether, the mix of food, drinks, and atmosphere made the evening memorable in its own way.
