Still haven't found any chili cheese burgers as good as Big Ed's.

Rons?

Rons?

I second that.

Do the restaurant operators in this town think of anything but HAMBURGERS. I love them as much as the next person, but there has to be a limit.

Seriously - 3 sports bars within 50 feet of each other? Sheesh

That's funny. In one thread we have a poster outraged about how restaurant operators always include steak on their menu & in this thread the complaint is about how restaurant operators can't think of anything other than hamburgers.

This corner is definitely going to be over saturated with "pubs".

Now just think of whoever moves in the area with something different, they're going to strike gold.

Cough cough, chinese food.

Maybe this is the conception of one of OKCTalk's Holy Grails ... a (wait for it) bar district. Cue the angelic choir.

I actually thought this earlier. I'm more fond of UpTown being our "bar" district, although DD is a lot closer to Bricktown & it would probably make a pretty decent draw for that reason.

I was just thinking that. People are funny.

I quite love the bar district in my backyard (Bricktown). I think Deep Deuce has a chance to be less focused on one niche and more well-rounded with amenities. Nothing concrete right now I can share but there are lots of plans for Deep Deuce and they will really elevate the whole area. I'm convinced that Deep Deuce will be a model community in a few years not just for Oklahoma City, but for this part of the country. I'm crossing my fingers anyway.

If what you say is true, then I'm on board. I would love to make myself part of the Deep Deuce community someday & it really has my interest, more so than before, if what you are referring to comes about. I'll cross my fingers along with you.

Agree - I think DD will soon have the critical mass for a quick pizza-by-the-slice place too. I hate having to go up to whole foods for my fix. Something like NY Pizza & Pasta in Norman I think would do exceedingly well here. And maybe they'd be open on Sunday too!

I'm with you here. Finally had a chance to try out skinny slim's too - what a neat place! I'll be going back for sure. Can't wait til they have food!

NY Pizza would be a great addition in this area.

Yes. Absolutely. Let's make this happen.

And I've heard some recently complaining about the lack of good sports bars. LOL

[no1cub17]

Wish I had some money and/or business sense - if I did I'd be seriously looking into it!

And in neither thread has anyone pointed out that from 10th to reno and walker to 235, in addition to hamburgers and steaks, you can get Italian, Brazilian, Sushi, Fondue, Tapas, Seafood, Deli and specialty sandwiches, mexican/tex mex, comfort food, gourmet bistro, fish tacos, pizza (both foo-foo and standard), pub food, cajun, chinese, bar-b-que, and more. And that's not to mention two of the most original and trendiest concepts in the city in Ludivine and Kitchen, and now there's also Flint and Packard's. Now, I have not done any formal study, but that's probably one of the densest and best varieties of restaurants in the city. And it is certainly not dominated by steak or burger joints, even though it is home to the best of both ( Red and S&B ). Combine that with the mix of bars in the area that includes pubs, wine bars, dance clubs, burlesque, (semi) ultra lounges, a cigar bar (coming soon), and sports bars and the complaining begins to seem a bit unjustified.

Are there gaps? Sure, but I think as long as we keep the call for national Chain restaurants to a low whisper and support the more local concepts, we will continue to see more originality added to the mix. If you don't mind walking or riding 12-15 blocks or so (which you would certainly do in any major urban city), you can live down there, not have a car, and still have easy access to dozens of places to eat, drink, and entertain yourself. Like everyone else, I hope for more, but people do have to admit, with the emergence of Deep Deuce, AA, and Midtown, downtown is getting pretty strong as an urban destination and as a place to live.

operative word there is "good"... i tend to agree... i have yet to find a "good" sports bar in OKC

[Just the facts]

Too many burger places in Deep Deuce
Too many hotels in Bricktown
Too much core housing
Too many steak places downtown

I remember when central OKC had real problems.

Have you been to RePUBlic? The food, beer, and viewing situation are all outstanding.

[OKCisOK4me]

Remember when downtown had no life?

Yes, vividly. It was awful.

I prefer Louie's to Republic believe it or not - mostly for the much better veggie options. Do enjoy the "view" at Republic tho haha. Excellent beer selection as well.

Republic's food is great, and the view is solid, if not "enhanced" at times.
