    Visited on: February 7 2013 This bar on the Strip has a historical claim to fame: its stage was where Garth Brooks gave his debut performance (which was reported to have been poorly-received), and you can still see the stage there. Other than that, there's nothing special about this bar. It's a smoking bar, it's old-looking, it's dark and dirty inside, and it looks like it's falling apart, and in dire need of renovation.

    Eskimo Joe's - Sweet Peppered Bacon Cheese Fries

    Eskimo Joe's

    It's popular. It's got history & tradition…read more It's loud on loud. And it's fun! You mention Stillwater and most anyone knows the Eskimo Joe's brand. This place is as Okie State as anywhere in town, with multiple levels and people EVERYWHERE. Want to visit on a fall Saturday game day? Yeah, so does everyone else. But Eskimo Joe's is big enough to handle a LOT of people, what with multi-tiers and decks to accommodate those crowds. I can't imagine what the fire marshal has to go through when assessing the place, but hey, they serve good bar & grille food and plenty of drinks, so those are wins, right? Find a seat - often 'open' seating during those busy-busy times - and you'll have a screen sightline in any direction. Sportsball is everywhere, and with numerous bars in different areas, you don't have to go far to get a drink. The menu has some, uh, college-friendly eats, like Frito-pies & smothered fries, big burgs, & more, like the Messy Pig, a delicious disaster of a pulled pork sandwich. It's not exactly that heart-smart variety, but YOLO, and they do have plenty of light fare. Grab a beer in their recognizable plastic cups and just kick back and enjoy. The food is good, the drink prices are fair, and the atmosphere is more than just Joe College. Service comes at you from all directions but you're free to sidle up and get your drinks wherever you find an open spot. Happy hour runs afternoons Mon-Fri and the service staff will tell you that every day is 'fry day', suggesting fries smothered with goodies. You're likely not parking right in front of EJ's, but that is kind of the mystique. Also, don't miss a run through their branded merch store because the Eskimo Joe's logo is fairly well-represented everywhere. Yes, it's a 'bar' and yes it's loud, but soak up that college-y vibe at one of the premier spots in Stillwater.

    While in Stillwater on a work assignment., we found Eskimo Joe's. Literally right next to Oklahoma…read moreState. Ambiance was nice and spread out throughout many dining rooms and bars. Plentiful seating. We ordered a set of onion rings/zucchini sticks that were very good. For our main meal, I had a Sweet Pepper Bacon Cheeseburger and my wife had a Turkey Malt. Both were good. Turkey was a tad dry but was otherwise tasty. The VERY BEST was our server! She was a student at the university with a great background working with horses her whole life. Nicest young lady we could have met on this trip. Will definitely be back to Eskimo Joe's next year while in Stillwater.

    This place is a vibe. I love the decor and live music nights…read more Their food, though a bit pricey, is quite good, as are their drinks. I came here a couple times when I was pregnant and got great mocktails, too. My husband got the smoked old-fashioned and really enjoyed it. We like their flatbreads, the duck confit nachos are yummy and filling, the Brie en croute is delicious, and the duck trap river smoked salmon and deviled eggs is also super fun. Great date night spot or place to chill and hangout with friends.

    The positives: Zanotti's was nice but very busy. The waiters…read morewere all very nice and helpful. Pizzas were yummy. Plenty for one person, maybe 1 1/2 if you aren't starving. We tried the basil pesto & goat cheese crostini and the spinach artichoke dip. Both were amazing! The negatives: It was a little loud, but not unbearable sitting by a wall. I would not love if I had to sit in the middle of the room. Getting seated was also difficult, as they did not have a host stand, so we just waited by the door. My least favorite part of the evening was when we were trying to pay. They were just holding the handheld machine, so we could not take our time looking at the bill and filling out the tip. The presets were something like 20%, 25%, and 30% tips. I am not opposed to tipping that much if we received above and beyond service, but that felt very pushy for such a nice place.

    So if you're looking for a good place with great sightlines to watch a college football game, then…read morethe Boone has you covered. The stadium is clean and easy to enter/exit, security is friendly and efficient, and there are plenty of concessions options. Rating: 5/5 for a great seat anywhere. So the Cowboys ain't my colors, but the Okie State fans are gracious and welcoming, unless you're sporting crimson & cream (blech!). They love the upgraded video and luxury box looks and there have been plenty of magic moments here. Rating: 5/5 for Oklahoma charm, y'all. But there's a few modern amenities that Boone Pickens Stadium lacks. First, no public WiFi. I'm sorry, what? How long have they been asleep? C'mon, Pokes boosters, pony the heck up and get MODERN. Secondly, though, no TVs in the concourses. I mean, why go for a restroom break or food & drink if you can't keep with the in-game acti-welp, the crowd is ROARING, so sumthin musta happened. Boooo. But the grab & go concessions with self-service is an absolute winner, so they're making progress. Rating: maybe 2/5, and that's just my good mood and the yummy pulled pork talking. But the purpose is to be part of the crowd and see young athletes wearing laundry you like and to cheer loudly. You can get in & out, there are lots of parking options, and anyone who has that nostalgic college Saturday bend loves a walk through the campii and the sounds of the band. The Boone is as good as anyplace else in providing those memorable experiences, even if you have trouble sending a text. Okie State, you're good people. I'll be back, and hopefully next time I'll see my laundry win.

    So grateful for this place The atmosphere is electric,…read morethere are options for GF and meat-free that are more than popcorn, everything is clean, everyone is helpful. There's even a number to text with emergencies in the stands, as well as emergency alerts. Best place for a game or a concert
