"This is the hidden gem of Oklahoma's music scene, for indie music at least. A very small intimate space that amazingly enough books some high end talent as well as local and regional acts. Owned in part by member's of Oklahoma's own Starlight Mints, this is the best place in Norman to see a show. Think the Rome of old but on a much smaller scale. I have been to a number of shows here including Sebadoh, Reverend Organdrum (Jim Heath of the Reverend Horton Heat's side project), Calhoun, Bob Mould and even the legendary Genital Chaucer over the years. I've also been to a few private events by friends that have "bands" - basically just an excuse to get up and jam on a decent stage and play rock star for a night. All in all a great place to see a show and unlike other of Oklahoma's smaller venues they have great restrooms, are non smoking (unless you go onto the outside deck), have decently priced drinks and I don't believe I've ever paid much over $15 for any of their shows. How they accomplish this is beyond me when maximum capacity has to be well under 200, but I won't complain. There is a hipster vibe and but not overwhelmingly so and some very cool art can be found and apparently they allow if not encourage patrons to doodle their own graffitti on the walls, especially in the bathrooms. I highly recommend this place for a show. Their advertising budget must be nil because oftentimes I'll only find out an artist I like is playing here from the artist's website itself and if you drive by too quickly you'll miss it but don't miss out on one of Oklahoma's true great places to see a show."

Red Dirt Reloaded Bar & Grill

"Was in Lawton for the weekend, so stopped here at the recommendation of a bartender from another Lawton establishment. She said she comes here when not working, so decided to stop in on a Saturday evening. Walking up outside, we saw the fire pit burning and a few tables outside which looked nice. As we entered it was like a step back to the 80s or early 90s... just felt outdated and could use a facelift. The place has a very choppy feel with a main room and a smaller room in the back.We had a seat at the bar and the bartender took forever to greet us as she was actually around the backside working the other side of the bar in the adjoining room.Saw a sign for $5.00 pitchers of beer, so ordered one. It's really more like a half pitcher, but did manage to pour close to 4 glasses from it. The beer was cold and glasses chilled.Also ordered mac n cheese bites and two different style wings. The mac n cheese bites were more like fried chunks of cheese. Nothing wrong with that. Fried cheese is good, so no complaints here.I had the sweet n spicy wings while she had the lemon pepper wings. Mine were sweet, but really not spicy at all. She said her wings were too salty. After a taste, I agree that their dry rub is a bit on the salty side.Not much of a crowd here for a Saturday night and only saw two bartenders working the bar and floor. Overall, it's just a run of the mill restaurant / bar with average food. If in Lawton again I probably wouldn't go back."

40 West Bar & Grill

★★★★★ 4.6 (7)

"Had a great girl's night out; we drank, ate, and danced our night away. Coming from San Diego, it was refreshing to be in an establishment that respects its' veterans. My parents, little brother, brother-in-law, and husband are all veterans and it was nice to see their sacrifice appreciated. Next time we're in town, I'll definitely bring hubby here, he stayed at home watching the kids so I could get out. It was a great night!"

Chandler's Bourbon & Billiards

"Yeah. Terrible ventilation. Clothes are smokey the next day, and as far as food goes, it was potato chips and frozen pizza's. It is Enid, so the bar is low and easy to hurdle with even some half azzed effort."
