Blue Note Lounge

I had a great time tonight watching Sam Morrow! The drinks came out fast, and staff was very courteous. It was smokey inside, but tolerable since they left the door open. I plan on going back for more live music.

Chill, Spacious, Strong mixes, and Ice cold Drafts. Darts & Pool tables with a Jamming Jukebox inventory! The proprietor is a cool, honest, kind dude!

I first went to the Blue Note in 1969~~NO that was not a typo ~~ 1969. There was a group of us that were in the Navy Reserve which at the time was just east of Robinson, the first building of the railroad on the north side of 23rd St. We met for our reserved meeting 4 Mondays each month and after that, there was a mass exodus of us headed to the Blue Note. Cold beer, snacks, and great drinks for all. This ritual went on for years. Since those days it has always been a place to meet with friends and have good times. While I am now a septaugenariun, I still remember and long return, listen to the music and have another "cold one".

Since Chris Simon (owner of the Hilo) took over this place, it's night and day different. The bartenders are awesome, the music is great, the live shows are great, and the locals that hangout there are friendly and fun. It's a good OKC bar. Forget any of the reviews before they picked up new ownership. I could hang out all day in this place now.

This new neighborhood bar slash live music venue is back! Newly renovated, there are cushy booths and chairs, a stage that is lower the the floor and with railings, charging ports under every seat under the bar stools (new chairs too) and next to each booth. Restrooms are bigger and less creepy and the patio has been expanded. While still staying true to the live music attraction and craft beer options. The bar area and neon sign are still a thing and now refurbished. It did stay true to the neighborhood bar vibes and didn't go bourgeois like that other vintage bar in the Paseo (hint, hint, OK the Red Rooster lol).

I recently visited this location on a Sunday in hopes of being able to celebrate an accomplishment with my partner. Instead, we had to leave. He handed one of the bartenders' his paper issued DL (since OK no longer prints them in person). The bartender took it, walked down to someone having a seat at the bar (im assuming the owner? Who didn't try to help the situation) and asked "do y'all accept these here?" .. she then returned (with an attitude) and said she couldn't accept it. Her first excuse was "well for starters, it's expired." I explained to her that the DMV informed me that the paper is still valid after the 30 days since it takes longer for the physical card to come in AND the DL is CURRENT. She replied with "well. It's also bar's discretion, so." Instead of accommodating us or taking steps to better the situation, they decided they'd rather not have us in there.. all while many other people entered and weren't asked to present a DL. Very unfortunate to feel discriminated against on a day that I was wanting to celebrate an accomplishment. Do not recommend this place, especially if you are wanting to have a relaxed and enjoyable outing.

This bar is divey and smoky but the drinks are cheap and the people are fun fun fun. There is usually a game of gin rummy going and they always have free pool. Great place for live music any day of the week. Yes that means they have live music on weekdays! Like their page on Facebook for weekly booking updates. Their happy hour is from 4-8pm and will get you all you can drink beer for 5$ on drown night and 3$ well drinks. If you like being well taken care of by bar staff and enjoy friendly & talkative regulars this is a place you should definitely check out. You are guaranteed to make fast friends and have an incredible time.

She is the most handsome lady I've ever seen! She is most attentive bartender but she also is medium sized large. It's as if she glides across the Back bar on heelies.

Very cool place. Saw Linda Gail Lewis there and she was excellent. I needed some assistance from Devon getting one of the flyers from the window. He was extremely helpful and super cool. Go say hi to him. He's a great guy! Thanks Devon.

came here for a drink on sunday. was asked for my ID by the bartender, I hand her my state issued temporary license, she takes it over to whoever and comes back and says they can't accept my ID. when i asked why she responded with a snarky attitude and says "well for starters it's expired". she's referring to the PAPER the ID was just issued and doesn't expire until 2027. before i had the chance to explain her & the state's incompetence to her she followed up with "it's also the bars discretion". at that point it was clear to me they didn't want my money (this is oklahoma so take that as you will). i happily walked out and have no plans of returning. it also smelled like cigarettes. i don't recommend this place
