Thread: WSKY Lounge to Deep Deuce

Hopefully, more housing will be added on Automobile Alley, which would help Broadway Wine Merchants (which is an outstanding store). I'm sure you'll appreciate having one a block or two away though.

I heard from a friend of a friend that the operator of Bolero and Le Cep was no longer involved and that Le Cep would not be opening. Can anyone confirm?

This was taken by Sid yesterday:

I was wondering as they have appeared closed for weeks.

A gentleman that rents a tuxedo from us once annually for Fight Night said that he is opening a cigar lounge/bar in this spot. I'll see if I can get more details.

The cigar lounge was originally going to be south of the Deep Deuce Wine. With Le Cep falling through, the north end was offered and is pending lease agreements. I'm glad and also a little apprehensive. The original location was much smaller but would have had less overhead. I'm not entirely convinced that a cigar lounge will do amazing business. I know they will get a lot of business from me but we will just have to see.

It doesn't really seem like a cigar lounge kinda area.

This is a sad development. Anyone know what happened with the bistro? That would have been a super idea for the nabe.

What was the cigar lounge called in Bricktown that closed down? If I remember correctly, that place was pretty popular and it had its regulars. A cigar lounge in Deep Deuce is a perfect idea if you ask me. It's not like downtown residents can go and build their own in their non existent backyard.

Wasn't it called makers? It was a great spot to visit.

Yep, that's it.

Maker's. It was great, just not busy enough. Was always easy to get the best seats in the house.

Makers was plenty busy. They just "forgot" to pay their taxes, and that didn't sit too well with the Tax Commission.

Yeah, that'll get you in trouble. I couldn't remember why it was that they closed. That'll do it for sure!

I stand corrected. It didn't feel busy to me.

Downstairs (the original Makers) was always plenty busy for an establishment of that type. What really started their slide was the upstairs space. While it was beautiful, it was too many square feet for the few nights a week/season that it could really draw a crowd. There were some great times had upstairs to be sure, but if they would have stuck with the downstairs space -- and paid better attention to finances, I'll leave it at that -- they would still be open and successful to this day.

They will be opening a whiskey and cigar lounge. Their lounge will feature over 100 premium whiskeys from around the world, a walk in humidor featuring over 50 different cigars, as well as a limited menu of quality food products. Their target opening date is around mid April.

The new business at this location will be called the WSKY Lounge and will occupy 1,997 s.f. as per their liquor license application.

Interesting. There's going to by a WSKY right by XYZ?

That's kinda what I thought, lol. At least they're a couple blocks away

Be a nice option for those who desire it.
