We were invited to meet friends here for dinner and a show for a fun Saturday night out. Parking was super easy and sdll lit. The venue was as interesting on the inside as it was on the outside! Fun neon, simple deco, and plenty of atmosphere! The dinner was a great suprise! I didn't expect much from pub food, and all expectations were exceeded. My burger was juicy and filling. The fries were fried to perfection and not greasy at all. My wife had a turkey club and loved it too! The entertainment was absolutely top notch. The only downside was it didn't start at the posted time. This meant we all had to wait downstairs for 30 minutes. This would be zero issue except we made the effort to get there at opening to ensure a table. By the time it opened, they were packed and it was a mad rush to get seats. I just recommend they do something to help ensure those there get to go up in some orderly fashion when this happens. Not the end of the world and it was all worth the very minor inconvenience. Great show and great food! read more

Great vibes with lots of diversity & Dj's. Younger crowd upstairs with volume speed bartending. More craft cocktails downstairs. 20's-30's upstairs. 40's & up downstairs. They are a great venue with lots of energy! Wear something comfy that you can sweat in. Upstairs is hot. read more

Fun staff! Great music! Awesome drinks! Fun places all around with food and within walking distance. Very social and outgoing. read more

A bar with vegan options that taste delicious! Had a tofu burger and fries. From entering the bar, the bouncers were chill which I appreciate. Bartender was attentive and had some suggestions for future vegan choices on the menu. Great jazz music playing on the second floor the night I was there. Looking forward to attending more live music events at the Ponyboy. read more

Enjoyed our food and our drinks. Staff was super friendly and we really enjoyed the vibe of this place. Will definitely be back.

Review #77 Ponyboy is an awesome bar and venue, serving crafty drinks and seasonal cocktails .....TBC... (This is a placeholder for my future review as I have a thing with numbers & sometimes have a certain place or concept in mind that goes with a certain number. Yes it's probably weird but I'm a geek like that, lol! I'll come back to do this later but I want to get some reviews going again & need to save #77 for PB) read more

Forgot to tab out. Next morning had a $196 charge from ponyboy. Hadn't ordered anywhere near that amount of drinks. The number listed doesn't work, and they don't respond to messages on Facebook. read more

Brussel sprouts and Mac and cheese balls are FIRE. And the happy hour can't be beat! Service can be dicey and the seating isn't much but worth it if you come in when it's not too busy. They also host cool events upstairs. read more

They do not accept disabled people and will single them out in a group of 20. I will never ever return to this place as the bouncers are garbage! read more

Good place for happy hours. Good drinks and the happy hour specials are legit. The food is ok. Not terrible, but bar food nonetheless. Servers are pretty cool. A very nice place to go to after work or before a concert next door at the tower theater. Checkout their schedule for live bands upstairs. Heads-up... it will be loud if a band is playing g read more

I stopped by here for the first time last week and it was fun. They have coffee from kllr and coffee based cocktails which is awesome because I love covfefe as an alternative to alcohol sometimes. They serve coffee in porcelain mugs which limits the size options or items to mix in like cream or half and half, and you can only order coffee downstairs They have an upstairs area where they play music, there's a dance floor, full service bar, some tables, and a foosball table There is a good sized parking lot across the street that usually has spots open but I anticipate the city or who ever owns it to start charging for parking there someday Lots of other places around for bar hopping, and the tower theatre is next door so it's also great for before or after show hangouts read more

First time at Ponyboy was a really good time, especially being surrounded by a mature and mannerly, clientèle. According to the bartender, however, the crowd is always different, based on what kind of show is playing next door. Country-western shows draw cowboys. Rock bands draw headbangers. This was a Friday night, and there was some high-brow, genteel cultural thing happening next door. We came in around 7:15pm just as everyone else was shuffling out. It was nice to have the place all to ourselves for about 2 minutes. But even when the place was packed, it was still warm and friendly. I like going into bars where you can actually hear the person sitting next to you without having to shout. The room was filled with conversation and laughter, and the music was muted in the background, as it should be. Henry made me an excellent rum squeak with Plantation's Original Dark Rum, though Ponyboy offers several other good rums, too. My partner had a gin martini (shaken, not stirred) which he pronounced impeccable upon arrival. We didn't have time for a bite, but the deviled eggs looked especially good. We'll get those next time. Hats off to Henry for making the time we spent at Ponyboy a really happy hour. +++++++++++++++++++++++ Update: I went in again tonight 1-5-2019. Another set of perfect rum squeaks. My partner had an F5 beer made right here in OKC. Ronald did a fine job tending the bar, and Paul was a great side kick. I still didn't have a chance to order those eggs, but I will next time. Put Ponyboy on your list of must-visit bars in OKC. You can thank me later. read more

I went to Ponyboy for the first time and it was so much fun! I've known about it for a while but was just slacking on actually going to check it out. Well, that all changed last weekend when my brother insisted I stop by. So, we walked in and it was pretty much what I expected... A hip kind of bar on 23rd Street, not all that different than a place like The Bunker Club, just another fun stop for your night out. BUT THEN... We went to check out the upstairs and to my surprise... It was hoppin! The music was bumpin' and people were dancing... Ponyboy kind of reminded me of a mullet... business in the front (downstairs) & a party in the back (upstairs). Yasssss, Ponyboy! What a pleasant surprise! I definitely want to come back! read more

This small bar has a lot of character! It's named after a character in a novel by S.E. Hinton, "The Outsiders," but the bar itself is more of a nod to Oklahoma than anything. Both the decor and the drinks are unique, and for someone who is visiting from out of town, I really appreciated how warm and welcoming this place was. The bartender was more than happy to recommend cocktails, and even gave me a sample of one of the bitters in a drink I was considering. We ended up spending a lot more time here than originally planned, but cool and cozy bars like this one are rare, so I'm glad we did! read more

Been to Ponyboy twice. Once to see a show upstairs and most recently before a show at the Tower. Both experiences were great! Great drinks, great staff and it's connected to the Tower so you can just go right over to your concert..and you can keep your tab open for your drinks during the show! read more

Excellent!!! Surprising gem. Food was amazing and TJ at the bar was perfect!! The spicy blue berry ketchup was unstoppable and the smoked salsa with seasoned chips kept us coming back for more. read more

Delicious yet cheap drinks, a quiet downstairs and a dance floor upstairs? I couldn't ask for more. (Well, maybe a patio, but The Pump is down the street) They have a great selection of $6 cocktails all the time. And their old fashioned holds up well. The downstairs is a great spot for happy hour. Sometimes I even go work from there when I need out of the house. The staff is excellent, and always happy to make whatever you ask for. The upstairs turns into dance party on the weekends! The DJs are excellent, and there is a full bar that is always fully staffed. They just don't have the same beer selection, however you can run downstairs for that. I can't wait to hold an event in the space upstairs! read more

We came in here during an impromptu Uptown pub crawl for our one drink and a look around. The friendly bartender served us a boilermaker of Jameson's and espresso. He provided some good conversation and was very proud to be there. The decor of the place is very nice and it could be a good date night drinks destination. We had our drink and moved on, happy to have been there. read more

My friend came in from out of town last weekend and wanted to hang out at a place that was on the chill side. We first tried going to The Bunker but it was just way too crowded, so we took a shot, then went a couple doors down to Ponyboy. I've been to Ponyboy a few times before and it's always been a great time. The drinks are tasty and it just has some fun, funky vibes once you go upstairs to the dance floor. We hung out on the first floor for a bit, drinking a couple drinks and chatting. We were loving the throwback mix of music that played throughout our time there too. After a time, we made our way upstairs and got to dancing. There's always the most eclectic crowd here and that night didn't disappoint. People were getting down and getting funky! The music is more dance house, and honestly, I've no idea how to dance to that kind of music but when you're at Ponyboy, no one cares. You just move around to the beat and have the best time! The bartenders are super friendly, the drinks are good and the music is poppin. Highly recommend for a fun way to spend a weekend out! read more

Love the place! Great place to hang w old and make new friends. Great cocktails and food! read more

Ponyboy is one of the first bars I ever went to when I moved to OKC and it was a great welcome. Hung out for many consecutive weekends. Great crowd. read more

This whole experience was actually wonderful because all the bartenders and the drinks were incredible. Whoever hired that ridiculous doorman who monitors the traffic from ponyboy to bunkerckub needs to educate him on being polite. He literally refused to let my friend go upstairs when she had been there for over three hours, needed to get her purse and had just gone out to smoke. Fire that guy. Treating people like this is unacceptable. By the way it might be helpful to also stamp people's hands to have an identifier if they have already come in and just need to have a smoke. We are happy to follow all guidelines to come in and out of bars, but we didn't even get to go back upstairs to tell our friend bye and happy birthday because of this dude. We have worked in this industry for years. We care about the people who work there and all the rules. But there was no communication, and a very inappropriate doorman on all of it. Fix it. read more

Ponyboy is a classic bar that brings a fun atmosphere to Uptown. They have great $6 cocktails for happy hour. I like the more intimate environment downstairs for a date or conversation. It can get a little crazy upstairs on the weekends which is not my scene. I also really like their coffee cocktails. The bartenders provide consistently good service as well. Now that Ponyboy has been around for about a little over a year, I can definitely say it's become one of my go-tos in the district. read more

Came to listen to some live music a week or so ago and was blown away by how cool this place is! It had a great vibe and wasn't too big and wasn't too small - the bar was well stocked and the bathrooms were clean. Looking forward to going back. Great gem here in OKC. read more

Ponyboy - Corb Lund - and Jada Dryer opened for him. Both amazing! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Ponyboy is OKC's newest hottest bar! Located in Uptown and directly connected to Tower Theatre, Ponyboy is a great place for drinks and unexpectedly, dancing. They have some $5 cocktails including Moscow Mule that is absolutely perfect. The bartenders are exceptional in making the drinks have the right balance of being strong but still delicious. They also serve coffee which you don't see often at at bar. The first floor is slightly a little small and narrow, but once you go up to the second floor, you find a great open space with a full bar and DJ. Although I feel like this was not what it was intended for, there's a nice little open area that makes for a great dance floor. I absolutely love the atmosphere that Ponyboy brings! It's such a casual place that has a friendly, community feel to it. Every time that I've gone, I've had so much fun hanging out with not only my friends that I came with but with other people that are there. Everyone is just wanting to let loose and have a good time. I have yet to attend a show at Tower Theatre but with the convenience of Ponyboy being next door and having a direct door from the bar to the theatre, I know that I will definitely go to Ponyboy before and after a show at Tower Theatre! read more

Great little spot to stop for a drink. Enjoyed the Baby Godzilla and a Sazerac. For a snack, the salsa was a heavenly smoked treat!

Yep. This is perfect and exactly what the Tower Theatre complex needed. Not a drop of attitude or ego - just good old fashioned hospitality, (and a good old fashioned if how many my husband drank that night is any indication). I love that there's no theme - why does every bar in town need to have a theme?! We don't need to identify with a particular decade just to enjoy a drink! All we need here is just a solid locale to get drinks before a show. We don't need them to be expertly handcrafted high end craft cocktails. I just need a perfect mule at a nice price that can be turned out quickly either because I'm a) headed to a show or b) exceptionally thirsty. But, I'm thankful it is also not bro-y, something had happens with shocking frequency to bars in this town. In my case, I've been here under two separate situations, both very different, but both five star experiences. We were here with a group for birthday drinks the night of the 612 Mardi Gras fundraiser next door. People were coming and going from that party into Ponyboy, and so it was madcap fun. For me, it was like being at a fundraiser for which I had not purchased a ticket, since I got to see everyone! It was so busy, but the bartenders were fast, turning out perfect drinks and keeping tabs and running cards and answering questions just as fast and polite as you please. I was here last week for an early happy hour with a local business owner (wasssup, Scottie's Deli) and it was quiet but not too quiet for our private but not too private convo. They took good care of us from the bar, though we were in a booth. At this time of day, it wasn't too loud in here for us to enjoy good conversation, and even early it was busy but not packed. It was starting to pick up as we left. Leave it R Cope and her team to get it right, again. Good job to all involved. read more

it's hip and very trendy! From the music to the decor and the staff! This is more for the younger crowd but they didn't treat my old ass any different than if I were their age! read more

Ponyboy - Pony Boy you say???? This place has two levels and the music is techno but it's pretty awesome - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Ponyboy is the perfect bar for some casual drinks or some dancing. Dancing you ask? Yes, their second floor is now open. It comes with a full bar and a DJ on the weekends. There is ample room for some serious dancing. I recommend dimming the lights a bit more upstairs so more people can dance their butts off. Some folks prefer not to have others watch them as they get down to some music. You order your drinks at the bar. Bartenders are attentive and can keep your tab open. The drinks are well priced too! read more

I was definitely excited upon the news of a new cocktail bar in my neighborhood. The drinks are great, the staff is attentive. I like the ambiance of the place and it has a fun vibe. The only complaint I have is the music is way too loud in this place. For it being so small, I had to yell across the table for my friend to hear me. Because of that, it's great to go in for a drink and leave. It wouldn't be a place I could stay in long. I know it JUST opened and it takes a second to get your groove. Hopefully they will make an adjustment to the noise level. read more

I've been to Ponyboy a handful of times and I can honestly say it's a pretty neat little bar. It has a bit of a bigger town vibe to it, which I enjoy, yet it maintains the friendly atmosphere of some of Oklahoma's nicest places to have a drink at. The bartenders have all been great and the service, given that it's usually busy every time I have been, has been good. Where I will give it up most to the Ponyboy, aside from their great cocktails, is that they have $4 well drinks. I think we all can be a fan of that! read more

Stopped into Ponyboy after hearing about it's grand opening recently, and its ties to the infamous 84 Hospitality Group, and it was an all around great experience! They offer a list of tantalizing originals, as well as a list of $5 classics. This alone makes it a great spot, as we have all been to a bar where everything is $10 plus, and your hangover is even guiltier when you see your account the next morning. On top of the pricing options, Ponyboy serves coffee roasted by KLLR here on 23rd. KLLR is a newer roaster with coffee featured at Cafe Kacao and Holey Rollers, among other places. The bar has a serious coffee setup featuring a Black Eagle espresso machine, and while their people are newer, they seem to putting out quality coffee, with or without the snazzy latte art. The music choice features blues, rap, and a few rock songs, and the decor highlights pictures of OKC locals, and a bright neon sign reading "You're a daisy if you do" from Tombstone fame. There's fresh wildflowers on the tables, and their tabletops have a raw edge to them. Overall, this place has a lot of promise, and I can't wait to see what comes through this space with the talented minds behind it. Not to mention the ease of access anytime you visit a Tower Show! read more

Skilled bartenders + Baristas, quality drinks at a good price, and great location create a nice atmosphere for this bar. They have craft cocktails at extremely reasonable prices and some "basic" $5 cocktails. Now, these $5 cocktails are so skillfully crafted that they might be $12 elsewhere. Very happy with Ponyboy. We shall return. Next time, I'm going to dive into their delicious coffee selections too. Getting the upstairs complete will make this a destination bar. read more

Ponyboy is a great, not-so-little bar in Uptown. The downstairs is cozy and I didn't know for the longest time that there was an upper floor until my job hosted an event there!

Great drinks, the bar staff is noticeably shaken when it comes to the clientele they serve. I really liked this place for a good drink, but now it's full of post-hipsters. The upstairs addition killed this place for me. Now it's the same as Groovy's or any other dump. #WompWomp All the girls at PonyBoy act like Lisa Simpson. read more
