As another place was closing in Bartlesville, my customer asked me if I had been to 'the dive bar…read moredown the street.' A Dive bar? In B'ville? It was if he KNEW me! LET'S GO! We burst (aka stumbled) in and were greeted by the sight of maybe 10 locals hanging at the bar. Finding a couple of spots, we settled in and ordered. Stella, my old friend! It is so good to see you here tonight, you are looking better than ever! (If you want to reach beyond Stella, ask, they probably have it). Being easily identified as out of towners, the locals slid in closer, a couple of them braving some conversation. The very essence of the perfect dive bar! I noticed that the bartender was wearing a baseball cap with a hockey logo on it and remarked that I was somewhat surprised to find a hockey fan here, much less one sporting the colors of an east coast team! And the hockey conversation began....in earnest. Luckily, Stella had several of her sisters cooling down behind the bar, so I decided that I should be a much more gracious host and beckoned them to join in succession. The conversations continued, patrons came and went. While I'm not one to judge other people's personal habits and leisure activities, at one point I decided it would be fun to make a very loud reference to Heisenberg. The reaction was instantaneous, the guy's eyes lit up (well, even more than they were)! He was obviously very familiar with the theory that, in quantum mechanics, the uncertainty principle is any of a variety of mathematical inequalities asserting a fundamental limit to the precision with which certain pairs of physical properties of a particle known as complementary variables, such as position x and momentum p, can be known simultaneously! At this point, I became aware that one of the locals was loading up the jukebox with 'cry in my beer' old country songs. Who sucked the vibe out? No problem, I was packing plenty of Washingtons and promptly queued up several tunes which would CERTAINLY be a hit with the locals! Of particular interest were: Baby Got Back, Don't Believe the Hype, and Lose Yourself! Let's take a moment and go over the James R Approved Dive Bar Checklist: 1. Reasonably priced libations in quantity. Check 2. Conversational bartenders. Check 3. Interesting and talkative locals. Check Check Check 4. Interesting and talkative locals that have a good sense of humor. Check 4. Vibe. Check 5. A clear path to the exit when I decide that the place needs LOTS of Bruno Mars, Robin Thicke, and Paula Abdul. Check If you are in town for business, make this a stop. But PLEASE leave the suit at the hotel. Don't get all lazy and take off the tie but leave the suit coat on, we are all really cool with the fact that you were too lazy to break out the iron and tidy up the shirt underneath. Stella won't say a cross word, I promise! Another Dive Bar Supreme! Me and MacArthur, we shall both return.

They have pool leagues that go on, pool tournaments and such. I'm not much of a pool player but I like the laid back vibes here. As far as food goes, it's very tasty but it's slow. Don't come here if you're starving because you'll need to wait 10-20 minutes for service and then that long if not longer for the food. In the 6 years I've been stopping by I've just come to know what I'm walking into when I come here. If you come in knowing pull be in a laid back spot then great, come on down. Its not 5 stars for service and it's a five spot but their burgers and food are good and If you're looking to kick back and enjoy the slow pace then absolutely I would recommend it. It's not smokey and it's fun to chill at for some beers and pool.

In my early years, I've spent countless hours at internet cafes playing PC games, so I was happy to…read morefind Waypoint Lounge from another yelpie! First of all, the venue is tastefully decorated. Typically cafes like these look like a dark dungeon, where your social life outside of games go to die. A giant screen sat in the center of the venue with the football game on and various places to sit. They have consoles, PCs, and boardgames to play. We visited during happy hour so drafts were $3 and I believe food was discounted as well, but we didn't get to try. We opted to play PC games, which as you know, PCs could be quite glitchy and I had to switch to another computer. One hot tip to know beforehand! If you are not well versed in today's PC games (which I haven't been for more than a decade), you have to register for accounts like Steam, Epic Games, and Riot Games to access their game library, but that eats away the time that you purchased to use the PCs, so I would register for those accounts at home so you don't waste time. On top of that, Steam gets especially buggy and so I got booted a few times playing Counter-Strike. Other than the gaming platform issues, this place is perfect for groups as well. We saw some families holding some sort of gathering there and the food looks pretty good too. Waypoint Lounge is a little far, but it's worth a trip checking it out. The people there are nice, so we will be back, but next time, we'll probably try the consoles.
