The Blue Note is alright, although it is not a place I frequent. I usually only go here if someone drags me here but I'm never disappointed. The service is quick and the bartenders are nice. I don't like this place on the weekend because it gets way too crowded and smoky.
They have good drinks and you gotta love a place that serves local beer and Blanche de Bruxelles and has TWO FREE POOL TABLES. They also have live music on the weekends but there is usually a cover charge if you come after 8 pm. And it isn't that I don't like supporting local musicians, it is just that I would rather spend my money on booze. Plus there are lots of hipsters. Ehhhhh...
Came here on a horrible rainy, stormy, crazy Saturday evening, to try and wait the storm out.
Being it was cold out and pretty much a water fall from the sky it was a bit chilly inside since they had all their ceiling fans on.
Sat for a few with drinks and talked until a pool table became available.
FREE POOL, can't beat that!!
A live band was setting up, but they never played, weird?
Lately anytime I go out I'm wind up being the responsible one and driving, so I can never rate the drinks. :(
All in all, a comfy cozy atmosphere with a small menu of bar food. I will definitely go back.
If you like booze and the color blue then go here! It is that simple. The bartenders are friendly as are the patrons, except this one fellow. He liked the color purple (the actual color and not the book {lol black lesbians, didn't see that coming} so we all thought he was a dick.
7.5/10
This was my favorite music venue/bar that I went to in OKC.
Why you ask? Â One, because it was within walking distance from my apartment. Â Blue Note is just north of downtown, near the Heritage Hills neighborhood off 23rd which is the old Route 66.
Wayne Coyne of hometown band The Flaming Lips claims that when the band was getting their start in the early 80s no other venue in OKC would allow them to play except for this one. Â So there is a little claim to fame here in that regard.
Since then ownership has changed hands a couple of times and now the same people who run the Drunken Fry run this place.
The decor is stylish, the bartenders nice and the stage great for shows. Â They seem to be working hard to book more bands which is good for the OKC live music scene.
Like others, I was on the fence about Deep Fork Group buying the Blue Note.
I finally made it to the "new" Blue Note, for happy hour with a buddy.
I was seriously impressed, the last time I remember the blue note it was dingy, and just so-so. The've kept most of the charm, but it's actually reasonably clean (not too much though, it's still a bar).
Great prices for drinks like the $5 shot and a beer. Lone Star on tap, and a large selection from what I could tell. Not too loud, and this was all during friday early evening.
But! They have food now. Pizza, Nachos, Etc... That is actually really good! The pizza and nachos both were tasty and would have me go back.
Went back recently, and the experience was mostly the same. Really looking forward to adding this to the rotation of bars we hang out at.
