The place is understatedly cool, with immaculate vibes. I honestly felt not COOL enough to be there. Nonetheless, we ordered a couple drinks, in which the classic margarita put hair on my chest. My partner ordered the carrot cake bourdon drink on the current winter cocktail menu and he loved it. If i like bourbon i would have loved it too. What a unique drink! We ordered the Ceviche and an order of street tacos each. All amazing dishes. The Ceviche actually had the perfect ratio of chips to dip - a feat - and both tacos were amazing too! I ordered the carnitas and my partner ordered the carne asada, both good but the carnitas were def a stand out! if you are looking for a chill, yet trendy spot, add Palo Santo to your list.

Absolutely happy with the quality of the drinks and the black bean hummus . Sounds basic, far from it! If you love garlic, a little spice, and are a savory kind person--get it. Dirty martinis--perfect with more aromatics than expected. Was quite nice. Spiced Daisy--cute, spicy, salty, citrus. Loved!

Kind of a cool place, located within the lobby area of the Omni Hotel in Oklahoma City. The bar is…read moreaccessible to the public. It's not especially large in terms of seating available, but it does have a pretty fair selection of whiskeys and other spirits for cocktails and mixed drinks. The seating they do have is very lounge-y, with comfortable armchairs and couches surrounding a series of low tables, and some stool seating at the bar. The staff have always been friendly, and the decor is definitely rural/western themed. Some plusses: Because it's in the hotel lobby, there's a ton more seating in the lobby area itself, which is very comfortable. Not only that, there's several restaurants located within the hotel, including The Tap House and Bob's Steak and Chop House ($$$$). Both are fantastic. So if you're meeting up for dinner with friends, you can loosen up with a drink at the Basin Bar first. Or after. Or whatever! Also, down the hall is a coffee shop and a small gift shop. The only real minus: their prices. You expect to pay a little higher at a bar/lounge for drinks, but this one struck me as steeper than normal. A Tom Collins (which was on the weak side) and an IPA cost $30 before the tip. The next night I stopped in for a couple of standard sized cans of IPA, and was charged $20, again before the tip. PRO TIP FOR MANAGEMENT: Less is more. Charge less, you'll have more customers and they'll spend more.

Date night at Bar Arboloda. We thought we better go out last night in advance of the winter storm…read more We went early around 4:45 and there were three other people there. By the time we left the place was nearly full. Arbolada is a great neighborhood bar. Located in a historical building it is charming and cozy. A wonderful bar to have drinks with a small menu to satisfy your appetite. I ordered an Old fashion and Jan ordered an expresso martini. The happy hour prices for the old fashion was $7. The expresso martini is not a happy hour option. It was $12, and it was excellent. I never order them, but always taste Jan's. This was the best expresso martini I've ever tasted. For food I ordered a chicken salad sandwich. It was good and I enjoyed it, but I'm not a fan of chicken salad with grapes in it. Jan ordered a hamburger that was very good.. we shared an order of pimento cheese fries that were excellent. The prices are good, the noise low. The atmosphere fun and relaxed. You order at the bar and they deliver to your table.

The burger I would give a 8.5/10. It was cooked great with awesome flavor. I was hoping for a little more cheese/saucy flavor and that's why it wasn't a 9/10. This burger ranks as a top 3 in OKC currently amongst our burger testing group. If you want a good burger and are downtown OKC I'd definitely try this place out!

We played pool inside and while pool was free, which was cool, the table was off and there was a giant pillar next to it, making some shots really difficult. We then played water pong and it was fun for a bit, but staff kept coming and watching us like we were doing something wrong. I feel like this place needs to be on Bar Rescue because it could be awesome, but it's actually pretty terrible.

Service was the best we have had in the city. Our server, Sofia, really made our night that much more memorable, and all the small details really added up to a special evening. I was hesitant to get the bucatini as I was worried it would be a heavy dish, but it was perfectly balanced, clean, and light. Loved it. The steak dish was top-notch. Perfectly cooked and a fully rounded meal. A lot of steak places charge more and leave you with an empty plate outside of the steak itself, not the case here. Wonderfully seasoned and priced very affordably considering. Such a memorable evening for us and so glad we came here.

Our server and bartender were incredibly attentive and gave us so many drink and food recommendations, all of which turned out to be so good. My friends and I ordered tapas family-style and got a bunch of small dishes to share, and we honestly loved every single one. The standouts for us were the patatas, the cauliflower, and the lamb meatballs. Everything was flavorful, well-balanced, and perfect for sharing.

So much to say during my visit to the NCAA Tournament…read more.... First off, I apologize for not remembering names. That's not my strong suit. Humidor: It's small, but everything in stock is top shelf. Well stocked also. Staff is very helpful in finding what you're looking for and making recommendations. 10% off for military, vets, and first responders (cigars only). You can smoke on site, which is getting rare these days. Bar & staff: Nothing short of outstanding. Friendly, chatty (if you want that) and make the best Old Fashioned I've ever had. 3 different bartenders, 3 old fashioneds, all amazing. I told them they need to have a "mix off" for bragging rights. They're considering it. If Old Fashioned isn't for you, very wide selection of top shelf liquor, wine, and beer. Wanna play "Stump the Bartender"? I dare you. They'll know how to make it. Atmosphere: Lots of locals and a few visitors like me. Very welcoming. Told me a lot about the city and made me feel welcome. Definitely not a snooty "you're not from here," vibe. They welcomed me as one of their own. Not a sports bar, per se, but the games were on the one TV, which is fine with me. No kitchen on site. If you need food before your liquor, eat beforehand. Bottom line: My go to place in OKC. Should be yours also. Miss y'all already. Hope to be back soon.

I brought my wife and cousin here and they loved the drink prices. Plus it was an easy walk from our hotel which was super helpful. If I'm ever there during the week I'm going to for sure try out the food specials that they offer because it seemed like they offer pretty great options. The ambiance is a 12/10. I love a small spot that offers a big vibe and that's exactly what Stag does for me.

So delicious! Food…read more- all were very good! - Dips and Spreads | bread was soft, fluffy, hot, and delish - Nashville Hot Chicken | chicken was VERY moist and the outside was crispy it had the perfect balance with the cole slaw. To me it was not spicy... I would have like more spicy heat. Overall, delicious! - Hot Rod Pizza | amazing flavor combination... crust sauce and toppings were all very yummy. Was good hot and even better the next day cold Service was great - friendly and upbeat staff. Large and lively establishment - I love how they had The Princess Bride playing on the big screen (muted). Definitely a good spot for groups. It was a little loud... so be prepared to compete with the crowd when having a conversation. Would I go back? Yes! So much more yumminess to try!

Gotta love the name!…read more Stopped in here ahead of a concert looking for a bite to eat; sadly, aside from chips, they don't serve food. This place is definitely a dive bar, but has really great/nice folks. They have a large selection of beers, and I was pleasantly surprised when ordering 2 beers brought my tab to only $3.50! They have 3 pool tables, 4 fooseballs, punching game and a dart board. Also has a hi-tech jukebox which was quiet, but occasionally played some rock. Definitely worth stopping in if you're around.
