JJ's Alley Reviews | Oklahoma City Restaurants & Bars

0

Out of all the bars in Bricktown, I'd have to say I enjoy this one the most. I'm not a club-goer so as far as that goes there aren't a whole lot of choices downtown. JJ's a perfect little dive bar smack dab in the middle of top 40/hip-hop dance clubs so it's a refreshing find among the typical scene. Very cheap prices, $5 PBR + well shot, can't get much better than that! I also really like their back patio. They have tons of local musicians who play here as well. Definitely will be my go-to bar in Bricktown from now on.

Don't blame me for this being blurry... This is one of those no-dance, late night, live music (Karaoke on this particular night, methinks), lots of drinks, only one bathroom per gender, dive kind-a bars. Sprinkle in some OU Yuppies, hipsters, bikers, and some normal people and that's who you'll meet here.

It wasn't too loud, and I loved the seats that they had at the top in the back (behind the stairs). They weren't the most comfy, but had plenty of pillows! I loved that they had speakers back there so that you could hear the music that was going on. And several of the karaoke peeps were pretty good!

Can't give too much feed back on the drinks, since my first was paid for. They made them well and the second I just ordered a simple drink and it ended up costing $4-6 with tip.

I was told that there are some great bands that play here! And it's a great place to chill with friends.

fantastic spot for either first glass or last call. live music here is generally upper level stuff, see Eric Dunkin play when you get a chance to!

After walking around Bricktown for a good half hour, my friend and I decided to stop at JJ's Alley since it looked like a much low key place than the burlesque place next door.

This is an alley bar and holy crap it is awesome (at least I dug it!). My friend had 2 very stiff Jack & Waters and I had a Red Hook IPA all for under $13 total. Upstairs was a bit too smokey for me but had 2 singer/songwriters posted up onstage upstairs next to the busy & full bar. All of the decor alone is worth going in and checking out. I really liked the wall in the nook near the back bar/patio that had ceramic cups, coins, trophies, etc stuck into the wall. It gave the whole place character. Â All of the vintage toys & decor up on the ceiling made for good conversation with people all around us. I couldn't stop staring at the carousel horse hoisted up on the 2nd level of the bar. Too cool!

Unlike the rest of Bricktown, this place had 1) no cover, 2) DJ mixed music, and 3) seemed like it had a really decent crowd that was chill and much more relaxed in the atmosphere we were under. Â I highly recommend this place if you just want to meet folks, drink some good dranks, and feel like you're in a basement bar in NYC.

This is a great little spot if you happen to be in Bricktown and don't feel like dancing. Nestled between a parking garage and a burlesque club, you could miss it if youre not paying attention. There are two floors, smoking allowed upstairs, and their patio is nice with easy access to your next destination. Sunday is their open mic comedy night, I recommend checking out the local talent.
