    It's hard to find this place but it's located inside 21 Hotel. There is a public parking garage across the street, daily parking for $5.00 & it's super convenient! It's part of the hotel, but if you purchase something, they treat you as a hotel guest! Bodega is a cute, aesthetic cafe. It's serves coffee/tea/smoothies, pastries, and sandwiches on the go! The barista was so sweet and very kind. I had a special request and she made me an oatmilk vanilla lavender latte! Yum!! Pool Bar is opened at a weird time, from 4:00pm til late? Idk what time it closes. It's very small, and not too many seating available so I wouldn't bring a whole group. The pool goes from 3-4ft. The cocktails were decent, not too strong and approx $12-13. Overall it's a nice place to check out, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it.

    I love this spot! This pool is connected to the 21c museum hotel. As long as you order food or drinks at the Bodega, then access to the pool is free. The outdoor seating and layout chairs are adorable. The pool is very small, but I mainly go to lay out so it's big enough to just take a dip to cool off. All of the drinks and appetizers are super yummy! I look forward to going every summer!

    I sat at the bar and it was a great vibe. The waiter was on point and knew everything about the menu. He suggest the chicken tacos and boy they were delicious and very flavorful. The queso was soooo good as well. Sadly I did not have time to go back to try other stuff. Also the hotel attached has some great art u should go see.

    Churros!!

    Pool Bar and Bodega is bringing what we need to the heart of OKC. Having had a taste of the omni pool I couldn't help but feel compelled to visit the newest pool bar edition to the city, Pool Bar & Bodega OKC located in the iconic 21C hotel. At the moment the pool is only open to guest of the hotel, however I am told this is set to change soon. The bodega is open from 6:30am-10pm offering coffee, pastries, lunch, and great dinner options. This new location is super groovy and fun bringing old school California vibes to OKC. The Bodega offers brunch and breakfast items as well such as pancakes and smoothies all at a reasonable price. Their lunch options include wraps, sandwiches, and some salads that sound ~really~ good. The Pool Bar offers two delicious frozen drinks, the frozen penguin mule and the frozen orange dream. Their cowabunga cowboy is a must try if you're in need of a spicy punch in your drink, honestly one of my favorite cocktails in the menu. For food I am a huge fan of their pimento cheese burger and cauliflower tacos don't miss either. Grab a side of fries and you'll be set. The fries are a must try. Chocotacos may be discontinued for the public however, here at pool bar you are welcome to order however many you want. I have yet to try them but I am sure they are a hit. The staff has been friendly and service is generally quick. I recommend this place strongly for their delicious drinks and good vibes.

    It's definitely not bad! The drinks were good. I got a cowboy and it was spicy so I stuck with it. The pool is small but the overall vibe is cool if you can get a cushioned seat. They need louder music and more shade though. The pool is free and it's downtown, and it was clean! The drinks are too expensive in my opinion for what you are getting but they tasted good. I'd like to go after sunset when the pool lights are green and the music is a little louder. Tips: Kids are welcome before 5pm Towels are provided

It's a quaint little establishment that's chiq and comfy. We love popping in here for a quick bite and the service is always attentive. Some of our favorite dishes are: the steak, pad Thai, drunken noodles with spaghetti, the tom kha soup, and the mango sticky rice is SO good. My absolute favorite item at this restaurant is the mango sticky rice cocktail. I've literally never had anything like it and it's amazing. We've tried so many items on their menu and can confirm it's a great place to check out!

He said the food was good and the people were wonderful, so I made a beeline to give it a try. I have to say he was right in all respects. The hostess I dealt with was so nice, and I enjoyed my meal. When visiting a new Thai place I tend to start with their pad see ew, so I ordered the lunch combo. It didn't take long for the food to arrive. The veggie filling in the egg rolls was interesting. I really grew to like them. I was impressed with the pad see ew. I have a favorite Thai spot near home, and I love their pad see ew. This is the closest I've found in the metro. I really like the flavor it adds when they finish the dish with a good amount of dark soy sauce. The chicken was tender and the vegetables fresh; a definite thumbs up. I understand they spruced up the place, and it's very nice and clean. For being fairly new, they had a good amount of traffic. I'll be back soon.

Walking in, it was dimly lit & it reminded me of a bar Downtown in Tulsa. We found a table (the place got filled up pretty quick afterwards) caddy corner to the bar & we got help quick. My partner ordered the Oaxacan Old Fashioned, a friend of mine ordered some Truffle Fries & a drink that I didn't catch - as for me, I got the Ginger Beer (I don't drink). The Oaxacan Old Fashioned looked nice with the orange peel climbing out of the glass & had a really good aroma (I took a big whiff of it). The ginger beer was a spicy ginger beer & it was really good. With every sip, it was opening up my nostrils, it had some spice to it for sure. I tried my friend's Truffle Fries & it's something I'd order, especially if I wasn't as hungry & wanted a "snack". You can smell the truffle while the taste was real subtle. All in all, the place was chill. It was a nice wind down from leaving an art show & The Collective (I had no clue it turned into a clubbish scene on a Saturday... they were jammin' that night). My friend was a regular there, the individual who served us was super nice & friendly. There was whole menu to explore full of sandwiches, burgers (I want to try the South West Burger along with the Umami Burger) & all kind of other dishes to choose from. As much as I come down to OKC, I still get familiar with the scene more & more - R&J is added to the list of places that I'd return to. Side Note: A friend of my friend stopped by right before my partner & I left. She ordered the Brussel Sprouts and Bacon & in my head, I dove into her plate before she could.

I finally made my way here tonight before a work get together and initially I enjoyed the space and atmosphere. It is very cozy and intimate, and there are not many bars like it in OKC. However, when it came to the bartenders (two from my interaction) and cocktails -- my experience was less than cozy. Long story short, I asked for an espresso martini, a basic drink I know. And I was told as such by both bartenders working, one of which called me 'boring'. They wanted me to try a drink off their menu, and I respect the pride and effort this business put into crafting unique, holiday cocktails. However, none of them spoke to me tonight, and I wanted a run of the mill espresso martini. One bartender asked if I would be willing to try one of their drinks similar to an espresso martini, to which I agreed, however I still did not enjoy and requested a regular (boring and basic) espresso martini. They said they typically avoid making these popular drinks, but made an exception for me. Which is really unfortunate, because it was one of the best espresso martinis I've had in the city. Both bartenders later apologized for their comments, but I'm unsure if they were genuine or trying to save face. All in all, if you're willing to explore untraditional cocktails with a cozy vibe, you should try this place. If you have a simple pallet, that doesn't need to be wowed, it's questionable if you should visit. If this review doesn't get me banned, I may give it another try. Happy drinking!
