GLUTEN FREE NIRVANA: GF Burgers & Fries GF Grilled CheeseSpecial Needs/Family friendly when we choose a slower time of day. Crazy popular/busy local haunt. Does get extremely loud... if that's an issue for you or yours fyi

Berger was very not good. Vibes and drink selection were greatA group of friends and I made a point to stop by and try the very hyped up burgerMine came out first, plain and dry and no seasoning on the patties at all. Thought that was very strange considering all the excitement around this place.The cook was very embarrassed when I mentioned this and said they had a new guy in the kitchen.About 10 other friends got burgers after mine, all had no seasoning and were very bland. Can't understand how anyone would think this is one of the best burgers in America let alone OKC. I want to believe this was just because they had a new guy in the kitchen on his first day, but maybe do a few trial runs with a new employee when you really only serve one meal. I plan on coming by when I'm in town again in a few weeks, hopefully it's up to par with expectations.

Alton Brown was right -- Bar Arbolada has the best burger in OKC. The gold rush whiskey cocktail is a great match to an amazing burger.

Beer and a shot! I know you can get it at any bar, but I think it's cool that Bar Arbolada actually has it on the menu. You get a can of their Beerbolada and a shot of whatever well booze you want. I enjoyed it immensely.The hamburger I had was good with a nice char. No frills but very tasty and the price is right. They were out of pimento so I didn't get to try the pimento fries, but the regular ones weren't bad.The vibe for me wasn't exactly comfy. It was loud even though it wasn't busy or crowded. The bartenders were competent but not very friendly. It feels like the routine of order at the bar, get your drinks, get your number probably gets easier after you have done it a few times. For me as a first-timer though, I would have been lost without my daughter there to guide me. She's a regular and she loves it but I felt a little out of place. Come with friend and/or a group and you'll be fine.

Great atmosphere, fun 'tenders, delicious simple food. Burger comes with a lot so if you're not into that, just let them know.

Just fyi...This was one of the loudest places I've been. There were a lot of people there before an event, so it was crowded - doesn't necessarily bother me, I was just surprised. I have to eat gluten-free and the person taking the order told me they could not guarantee that it's gluten-free because it's a small kitchen. I tried a couple of bites of my tasty burger and a few fries. I started having a reaction pretty quick and stopped. My gluten loving husband said his burger and fries were good. He ate his and mine. I would go back to hang out before an event and I know my husband would eat there again.

Finally sipped the coolaid and stopped here. Well y'all, the hyped, is, real. First the location is prime. The inside it's really cute and the outside seating is even better. Order at the bar and pick a spot. I got the cheeseburger and the espresso martini (it was like 11pm...don't judge) and hot damn, delish!! The burger is simple and amazing. None of this hyped artisanal charging you $25 for a burger shit. Just everything that a burger should be. The drink was amazing!!! Between the food, atmosphere and sweet staff this is. Total win win.

One of my favorite OKC bars to grab drinks with friends. The burgers are simple and exactly what you need paired with their cocktails. It's a fun, noisy setting with moody lighting and fun decor.

We came here for a nightcap after a dinner. After gazing at the menu and seeing the cheap prices and hearing about the high quality food. We decided to push through and order a second dinner. We tried their smash burger and grilled cheese and it was worth the discomfort we settled into. Might be the best cheeseburger I've ever had. It was smashed thin and loaded with flavor. The ambiance was moody and chill and not overwhelming. I am eager to get back to okc to try more things off this menu-like the fries! If I still lived in okc I'd frequent this place often.

Very tasty drinks! Cheap food it's a must stop! The service was excellent. The inside is so cool love the sleek look!
