New bar will open downtown in March

The dancing female bartenders made famous by the movie "Coyote Ugly” will soon be stomping to the music in Bricktown.
Jeff Wiseman, general counsel with Coyote Ugly Saloons, confirmed Friday a lease has been signed for a storefront along the Bricktown Canal currently occupied by J. Frank's Bar. Property owner Jeff Brown said that the lease with J. Frank's owner David Southard is set to expire in December, but Southard has agreed to an early exit.
‘More than a bar'
The deal was brokered by NAI Sullivan Group's Brad Baker, who said that the club is scheduled to open by March.
"It's more than a bar — there is an entertainment aspect,” Wiseman said. "And the entertainment aspect is the bartenders — they put on a great show.”
What will it be like?
Wiseman said the saloons are typically open seven days a week and are designed to resemble "a dive bar.”
"It's dark, there's a jukebox with country and western songs,” Wiseman said. "The customers play the music they want to hear and the bartenders dance. And the bartenders have a list of songs they have choreographed routines for that when they are played, they will get up on the bar and dance.”
