  WORST experience in a bar that I've had, EVER. I went for a friends birthday, and I'll admit, I had high hopes for this place. First, a new place and close to the base! Second, its 3 bars in one! How much fun would that be? Well, we get there and are shown in, my first impression is that it is really brightly lit and that its really a lot smaller than I thought it would be. First stop was the ladies room. It was clean and well lit. I was impressed. Instead of it being like a normal public bathroom where there are a bunch of stalls it is two rooms, separate from one another. Very nice.
  Next, rather than charging a cover at the door, they charge a cover for you to get into the "real bar" looking area and its $7! Crappy's doesn't even charge that much when they have a live band!! You get no drink special, nothing special other than having the pleasure of listening to this local band, who in my opinion is not even very good. This was problem one.
  Problem two, I didn't want to have anything too heavy to drink so I asked the bartender, in the live band area, to make me something with X-Rated in it. She asked me what, and I told her that I didn't know, I've never had it in a drink. So she tells me that she'll come up with something. Her creativity? X-Rated mixed with Sprite. This cost me $7.50. I was blown away. Ok, well since this drink is so expensive, when I finish it I will not be getting another.
  Problem three, we were bored in the live band area because the band was not very entertaining so we moved to the karaoke bar. Well, we had all opened up tabs in the live music section, but we were not told that we couldn't move them to the other bar. The waitress comes in and takes our orders, then tells us that while she is not supposed to move our tabs, she will do it this one time. This was probably our biggest mistake.
  I would like to take this time and say that the karaoke section is set up very nicely. And the guy running the karaoke machine is the perfect person for that job! He's energetic, he likes to sing, and he clearly loves his job. He was amazing. The karaoke section was an enjoyable experience.
  Problem four, I got up to use the ladies room again, and the one I had used upon entering the establishment was no longer in use. I had to find another one. The one in the karaoke area was also, not in use. There was another one in the back room with all the pool tables, but it was only one room for women and one for men. Well, of course, there was a line. When I got to the ladies room the toilet was no longer flushing. So basically the only rest room that was in use was the mens room, and it was one stall. I was not happy.
  Problem five, the waitress would come back periodically, but it would be long intervals in between and halfway through the night looks at me and a friend of mine and says, "wait, you guys are on two separate tabs?".... Yes.. why would you think that we're on the same tab?? So when I go to close my tab, she goes over my bill with me. Then she tells me that to close my tab I will have to go to the bar. What is the point in having a waitress if I have to go to the bar to close my tab?
  Problem six, I get up and go to the bar to close my tab. The bartender, who is clearly busy, comepletely ignores me for about 10 minutes. My waitress is no where to be found. Everyone that was at the bar trying to get drinks leaves, to include my friend who went to the other bar in the establishment to get a drink since she was ignoring us, and she STILL ignores me! She talks to the girl behind the counter with her. Then more people come up, I say excuse me, she tells me one moment and continues to help her "paying" customers. Ugh.
  Problem seven, my waitress comes up, asks if I've been able to close my tab and I tell her no that I've been ignored. She says sorry, then tries to look for my tab. She had SHOWN me my card when we went over my bill, now 20 minutes ago. Well, now she cannot find it. They search for another 5 minutes for my tab, with my card. Still cannot find it. Almost 10 minutes go by, they find my card and I am able to close my tab. My four drinks cost me $30!!! Unbelievable.
  Once I got back to our table my friend who had gone to the other bar had already gotten his drink and was ready for another. I was not happy. I left shortly thereafter.
  I would like to caveat this by saying that the place is great in concept, and once all of the kinks are worked out I'm sure it could be a huge draw. If I ever go back I will make sure to bring cash because I will never give them my card again.

  A new bar to join the 2-3 other acceptable joints in Enid? I am SO THERE!!!
  
  Last night was opening night. I called to check on the cover: no charge for the karaoke and main areas of the bar, seven dollars to access the "live music section". Seemed a little high for what was most likely a shitty local band, but who am I to judge? Oh yes. That's right, on Yelp I can judge all I want!
  
  The owner also informed me that they have a limo service that is $55 per couple, but it can go as low as $25 per couple if you get enough people share the ride. Not a great bargain, but what was sort of a cool idea is that if you get six ladies together they will pick you up in a limo for free. Sounded like a good deal to take advantage of, but we decided to drive there ourselves in case we needed a quick escape.
  
  BAR ONE: THE MAIN BAR/SPORTS BAR/POOL TABLES:
  
  We walk in, the place felt smaller than I expected... in my estimation it might have been better to open the place up a little more, the large random rooms off of the main area make the place look empty and dead. There was no music playing here, but a song would randomly come on every thirty minutes or so. A little too bright in here, I suspect fluorescent lights.
  
  The main area of the bar has pool tables, booths, a few large TV's and a small bar that houses a collection of the worst bartenders in Enid. These chicks were like the sort of bitchy and snarky bartenders that you see in the hot clubs in Vegas and NYC... except the only reason it works for those girls is that they are gorgeous. These women were... flabby and menopausal. Granted, watching these poor bartenders try and handle the mildy retarded cocktail waitresses was entertaining, but beyond that they were not helpful and not knowledgeable. They are going to cost this bar a fortune in wasted liquor as they can't do a measured pour to save their lives. Oh, and my tab was wrong... and it took them 20 minutes to close my tab once corrected. I've wasted enough time on them, onto the next bar!
  
  BAR TWO: KARAOKE LOUNGE
  
  I can see this place actually being fun, but there is not an actual bar in this room and it's a little small, but the layout is great and there is a small raised stage and a pretty advanced karaoke and closed circuit TV system. The guy running the karaoke is perfect: outgoing, gets the crowd going, and super nice. They should pay him more. Plus one star for him. If you trust the cocktail waitresses and are the type of person that likes to park at a table for the night, this is a good place to do it.
  
  BAR THREE: LIVE MUSIC BAR
  
  Seven dollars to get into this bar, I got in for six after throwing a fit because this was all of the cash I had... I think I may have mentioned that I foster puppies or something. Whatever. Like I had previously guessed, the band was not worth seven dollars, the lead singer looked like an old fat Bret Michaels... I would have paid five though. My suggestion to Fugly's, just charge cover at the door, it pissed people off that they paid seven dollars to get into a part of the bar they weren't sure they wanted to be in. Most people walked in and walked right back out.
  
  This was the only room that was actually dark enough to be considered a bar, the main areas were way too well lit for comfort. There is a fairly large bar here staffed by competent and friendly bartenders, HOWEVER... you are unable to add drinks to your tab if you opened it up at the other bar... ten yards away. Maybe if the bar starts making money they can buy a computer system, but until then its a paper receipt book and your credit card laying casually on a back table. I could see this being a nice place to hang out if they had a really good cover band. But they didn't.
  
  RANDOM OCCURRENCES:
  
  - One of my friends got her boots SPIT ON by one of Enid's finest and classiest women after she mistakenly mistook my other friend for hitting on her and then mistakenly thought that my friend was somehow involved... it's all very complicated, but just rest assured that it ended with her shoes getting spit on. Amazing.
  
  - We were posted up at a table near the bar in the main area and because the cocktails found it hard to carry drinks while simultaneously saying "excuse me", the security came by and literally took our table away and pulled chairs out from under my friends. The owner apologized profusely, but didn't offer any free booze. Meh.
  
  - A male friend of ours was waiting in line to use the bathroom and a very plump woman walked by, grabbed his face, and kissed him.
  
  VERDICT:
  
  This bar was a great concept and you can tell that the owners put a ton of work into making the place look nice, there are just alot of things wrong with the execution. Maybe these things will get improved over time, but who knows. Somehow I will probably get forced into going again since it's so close to base... but not even a free limo ride could entice me into going here willingly.
  
  Crappy's beats this place on all accounts!
