I agree 100%, but those lots do serve our office and the tenants in the buildings across Sheridan during the day and they are at capacity. Don't make us walk in the cold winter months!

In all seriousness, the parking lot North of ACM needs to be mixed use, multilevel garage at base with residential above. Then this would give adjacent parking for the conversion of the floors above at 101 E Sheridan to residential...

Hey now, I don't want to do that! My name isn't E. Scrooge.

I'm just hoping that something gets developed down the line -- within 5 years, 10 years (well, hopefully sooner than that)... you know. Plenty of time to make new arrangements for parking.

holy cow... am i the only one seeing comic sans in the painted sign? why didn't they just use the same typeface as the new hanging sign? -M

Dont have a pic but they removed the comic sans as of Friday...

Sorry, this just makes me chuckle (moved here from Wisconsin last year).

Californians who've moved here think our winters put us in the Arctic zone.

Agreed!

btw, that ABT 12, although freaking delicious, is ridiculously overpriced.

I like appetizers at bars rather than looking a meal. Nice things about apptz is everyone can order one and share. Meals not so much, and everyone enjoys their favorite adult beverage while yapping their heads off. Have not been in a pub in awhile and typing this is stirring up old longings.

Incidentally, they did finish the new exterior re-paint:

And yes, the font now matches the sign:



That photo is from Finch Creative Group, who designed the new logo & branding


Here's a better look at the new logo:



(This is from their website, tapwerks.com.)


One more thing... that wooly creature in the logo is a "Griffalo" - part griffin, part buffalo (oh yeah!)

TapWerks was conducting a naming contest for this critter here:

Don't think they've picked a winner yet.

Great logo.

now that looks good. -M

Just an FYI, their menu has also been reworked and food there has greatly improved recently (I wouldn't say it was ever bad; it just wasn't anything special). I highly recommend the black bean soup, loaded (can't remember their term for "loaded"), and with filet tips added. It's top-shelf. Folks sometimes take TapWerks for granted. It is long-running, locally-owned, has food late, tries to stay open for downtown diners even in the case of things like snow and ice, and works hard to cater to LOCALS in addition to visitors. And also, beer.

Everything about the look connotes class. Not phony class. Real class.
I'm looking forward to visiting the place sometime.
Well done, TapWerks.

I think the ABT 12 is definitely overpriced. We snatched up the 3 Liter of 2010 Chimay last week and it was delicious.

Didn't they used to be at Grand & Western?

There was a place on the SE corner of Grand & Western... a converted gas station, I think. That was gone a long time ago.

[Libbymin]

Hudson’s and Tapwerks both closing within a month of each other in Bricktown. Two pretty big losses for Bricktown.

Although earlier, Chelino's too.

totally forgot about that until you mentioned it. according to a 1996 blurb in the oklahoman, '5700 north western' to be exact. there was an ad in june of 1999 saying that they were 'now hiring' for their bricktown location, dubbed 't2' in the ad.

that search also unearthed another forgotten gem of the early(ish) web... "connectok.com"
