I had a really disappointing and honestly uncomfortable experience here. My friends walked in ahead…read moreof us and no IDs were checked. When my boyfriend and I walked in, we both had Red Bulls in our hands. Immediately, a staff member told my boyfriend "no outside drinks." He reacted by making a whiny noise and taking one last sip before attempting to throw it away, but before he could, she grabbed the can while he was drinking, crushed it into his face, and threw it away. It was aggressive and completely unnecessary. What made it worse is that nothing was said to me about my drink, even though I was holding the same thing and walked right past her. After trying to brush it off, my boyfriend went to order a drink, and the same staff member continued to pester him, repeatedly asking if he had "learned manners" as he attempted to ignore her.At that point, it just felt hostile and unprofessional. I approached her and asked how she could demand respect when she hadn't shown any. I understand rules like no outside drinks, but there is a respectful and professional way to enforce them. This was not it. Invading someone's personal space and acting aggressively is unacceptable. Overall, the experience felt unwelcoming and uncomfortable from the moment we walked in. I will not be coming back

They are Oklahoma natives that want a fun and SAFE space for people in OKC. (And also very kind humans that were more than a pleasure to meet.) We didn't know what to expect going into Vortex, but we left knowing we'd be back next week! HIGHLY recommend this up and coming spot, and will definitely be coming back!!

Right after my brother came out (late 1990's), he came home from college for the summer. My mom,…read moretrying to be involved and engaged in his life, asked him where he liked to go with his friends. He told her he liked to meet them at 'the park'. She lost her mind, lost her marbles. She thought he meant the actual outdoors park (centrally located, known for anonymous hookups - you know what I'm talking about). I'm sure a tearful monologue of 'why would you do that when your daddy and I have been so accepting' followed, and rightly so. Once my brother got her to chill the eff out, he got her to understand he meant The Park, reputable staple of the gay club scene. While they've changed a lot over the years, they remain a club where gay men reign supreme but (cool) straights are welcome. They have been an integral part of making our annual pride weekend the amazing wonderfulness that it is today. We went there this weekend when my brother and his husband were in town, and while we were bummed to learn they don't have dancers right now, they still had good drinks, nice bartenders, clean potties and great dance music. Needless to say, momma was relived all those years ago to know her baby was just out, having a fun time, meeting nice people. Since our dad offered to pick us up on Saturday night, I think it's safe to say we're all still thankful for a place like The Park where it's okay to just be yourself. xo
