Most likely to get caught DUI near which OKC Bars?

[OKCCrime]

I think I have the statistics necessary to answer this interesting question:

Outside which three Oklahoma City Bars are you most likely to get nabbed for a DUI?

Take your best guess and I will revealed the answer after a few good ones.

[kmf563]

Are we talking strictly OKC or the metro areas included, say edmond, norman, etc.

[OKCCrime]

Oklahoma City proper. I don't have any data for other cities such as Edmond or Norman.

[FritterGirl]

Citywalk, Citywalk, and hmmm...I don't know. Citywalk.

Seriously, if Samauri were still here, that would top my list. How about:

CityWalk
Cock o the Walk or Sipango
..not sure of any of the big bars South of I-40, but I'd have to throw one of those in just for good measure.

[kmf563]

I guess Hudsons, Baker Street, and the Copa.

[FRISKY]

Henry Hudson's, Red Dog and one of the Bricktown clubs.

[bandnerd]

Hudson's, Night Trips, Baker's Street

?


Curious...

[ksearls]

The Beermuda Triangle

Edna's
SideCar
Hi Low

[CCOKC]

There seems to be a lot of cops on 10th Street after midnight so my guess is the Red Dog or one of the other bars around there.

[okclee]

Senor Sapas .... sw 29th
OK Corral ..... near 10th and Portland

[mmonroe]

I thought OK Corral was at 23rd and McArthur.. I could be wrong.

[Easy180]

Any of the Hudson's since they normally throw 30 (watered down) beers at you every 30 minutes...Of course you are legally required to drink every one of them

How about the strip clubs in Valley Brook?...Not sure if those count but I seem to remember them pulling over folks left and right

[OKCisOK4me]

Trying to think where all my friends have had DUI's at.

I'll go with Hudson's Memorial, The Dugout on May Ave., and obviously any bar/club downtown since they (both drinkers and police officers) flock there during the weekends!

[fire121]

Baker Street, Grahams, Club Rodeo or Groovies????

[MadMonk]

Grahams, Diamond Ballroom, and VZD's.

[Intrepid]

Any VFW Hall and/or Senior Citizens home on a Friday/Saturday night?

To ease the ethical concerns with posting this information, I'm posting it after bar closing hours. Let me be clear, do not Drink and Drive!

I wonder what factors went into everyone's guesses? While Bricktown bars would be a good guess for getting arrested for public drunkenness (see below), I believe that because of the parking situation, many people carpool or take alternative transportation which keeps the DUI incidents lower than might otherwise be expected.

A good guess was so the called The Bermuda Triangle, Edna's, SideCar, and Hi Low. The density of bars and proximity to on-ramps for I44 and NW expressway seem to be a perfect storm. As you'll see from the map below, it seems that DUI pullovers are more frequent at on-ramps. And of course, drunks are more frequent at bars.

Ultimately, the following three bars were closest to the regions of highest DUI pullovers in OKC:

Antique Lady Classen and 10th

Cookies Classen and 23rd

Blue Note Lounge 23rd and I235 (Note the proximity to Byron's Liquor Warehouse, which could be causal)

Below are links to maps that show the actual density of DUI police reports in Oklahoma City for the last year. Note the disclaimers and terms of use.

Also of interest,
DUI arrests by hour,
DUI arrests by day of week
DUI arrests by month

While DUI arrests don't appear to have increased over the last few years, public drunkenness arrests seems on the rise (see the graph) - thanks of course to Bricktown! (see the density map)

That was actually BEERmuda Triangle.

Thanks for the info, I will watch my consumption next time I'm hangin at the Antique Lady.

so working a night shift and getting majorly buzzed after work in the early daybreak hours, anywhere in the NE quadrant would seem to be a fairly safe gamble, dui wise anyways.

I think I'll be boring and stick with my diet coke and my day job

Especially on Tuesday mornings. --- again, do not drink and drive!

[dismayed]

Jun 2005 and Mar 2008 are real statistical anomalies. Wonder what caused that.

No. I should have excluded those. For those months there is only two or three weeks worth of data present. Sorry.

[OKCCrime]

Funny, but I just noticed a DUI School Billboard at the corner of 23rd and I235. Guess someone else already knew that this was a hot corner for getting stopped for DUI.

[chekkie]

One word: VALLEY BROOK!!!

[OKCMallen]

I disagree. Valley Brook knows who butters their bread. You don't have all those strip clubs nthrive next to each other i fyou're pulling everyone over.
