I came out for a friend. Really good vibe and there is a mixture of ages and ethnicities. Make sure you reserve a table and the price does vary so call in advance. Great music line up. The one less star is because they had to close early due to two groups that couldn't get along. So boo to that. However its a cool little spot to hangout in for hookah and drinks.
Inconsistent doorman... In town for a family reunion, I go with a group of cousins who suggested that would be a spot to our last drink of the night. Place didn't have too many people (I was told this was normal for Friday). Now, I absolutely understand having a dress code. And we were very casual. If there would have been consistency, no problem, we walk away.
I arrive with 3 others in the first group. One of us had on slides, so doorman says, can't get in with slides. No problem, we get him some shoes. At this time, the rest show up, so now we're 9 deep. 6 ladies. Now doorman says we can't get in because we have on basketball shorts. So it was fine when it was 4 of us, but when it's 9, its a problem. I asked doorman to get his manager/supervisor, and his response was to take an aggressive stance and reply "you trying to press me??". At that point we just left.
My OKC family will never go back. If these guys are that inconsistent and standoffish at the door, there is probably some more BS on the inside. Completely unprofessional.
I really enjoyed this place. They have a very well put together spot with fantastic scenery and all the best drinks served by some lovely people who know how to make you feel special. Highly recommend if you are in the area....
This was my first time entering this establishment in the many months that I've heard it has been open. I've heard many stories/situations where customers felt that the owners/service here is biased and I got to experience this bias and poor service myself.
A group of me and my friends decided to go out and do something fun after the NBA Championship Parade. We reserved a section and was told the minimum for a section was to order a bottle. The bottle girl shown below came to us and told us the minimum for a section was $500 we explained to her that was not what was told to us at booking. The bottle girl then tells us she'll be right back and never returns. Another bottle girl nicely came over and asked if everything was okay and she'll take care of us. We ordered a bottle and hookah and after that nobody ever came around to check on us or see if we wanted to order anything else the rest of our time there. For an event that was promoted from 2pm to 8pm we were shocked that at 5pm the DJ starts yelling over the mic that it was over and everyone needed to leave. Again the first bottle girl that tried to "scam" us came back to our table, didn't say a word and aggressively grabs our half filled bottle and hookah. We stated to the bottle girl that wait a minute pls we have not finished our bottle, she then responds I don't care I'll pour it in a cup for you. This is when we all became very upset and just in shock that this was happening because there were many sections filled with people still in it, many people still standing around but our table was the one being forcefully moved and attacked. As you can see below she takes the bottle that was at least half full to the back and shortly returns with a bottle that was basically empty and pours the remaining in a cup and goes to grab security to throw us out (which is pictured below). Security comes and says they are closed we have to go. After going back and forth with security we just simply tell them we just want to finish our bottle and we will gladly leave this establishment. we also told them if you guys state you're closed please make a lap around the club and enforce this with others that are still sitting and drinking by the time you come back we will be done. They refused stood there insulted us and things begin to get rowdy. The man pictured below states he was the "owner" but from his actions and service he acted in no way an owner would. Instead of diffusing the problem he came to insult, aggressively push the table out, shout in our faces, just acting belligerent. At a point he looked like he wanted to hit one of my friends I was with, another man/"partner" had to intervene and stand in between the 2 and tell him to leave. At this point we got up and started walking out, one of my friends who is an attorney nicely asks the "owner/partner" for his business information he responds "we don't have one". I just have to laugh, something that could of easily been solved turned into a humiliation show. I immediately thought of the allegations and rumors I've heard of the owners here and understood why they were acting and treating us the way they did. I'll never in my life recommend this place to anyone especially to any group of blk women. nor will I ever support any "local AA businesses" going forward. Been to many establishments, lounges, bars but this by far was the worst experience ever.
Happened to be in town for the NBA finals and went to Oak Room to celebrate with the city. Unexpectedly got to see some of the players. Being in this space with the crowd heightened the experience. Chatted with the owner who had a warm welcome. Group of black females who was shown a great time by all we came across while in the building.
Keep it going because when in OKC again I will definitely stop in. And will be recommending to others.
Thank you for a great time in OKC Oak Room!!!!
