Thread: OKC Icon Coits for Sale

  1. Default Re: OKC Icon Coits for Sale

    Drove by the old Coit's on Western today and that building has gone through some renovations. Definitely has more of a Hispanic look to it now but no signs posted to say what it was going to be.

    I sure miss their Root Beer. It was a liquid dessert.

    Mel,
    I don't drink soft drinks, I would say none, never except when I went to Coit's I always enjoyed their root beer. I started drinking it for free when I was whatever age that they gave you the tiny little frosted mug. It was in the mid/late 40's.

    I would get a glass of water to drink with the food and save the RB for afterwards. I gave up soft drinks years ago. Last time I tasted a coke it felt like it was burning my tongue.

    Mel,
    The closest thing I have had to a soft drink (since the early 70's) is cider at a pub in England. I didn't realize that what I thought was a "cask ale", was actually cask cider. I'm just not a sweets person, I gave them up at the same time I gave up soft drinks. Now, I eat and drink all the other things that are bad for me, but no sweets.

    Whoever has the recipe for their root beer could make a fortune bottling and selling it.

    I don't smoke, I can take-or-leave alcohol, but if I had to admit to one vice, it's a tall glass with ice and a Coca-Cola. Even better if it's the Mexican stuff with real sugar.

    MadMonk,
    Odd that you say "even if it's the Mexican stuff with real sugar". That's real Coca Cola, the way it was until what thirty years ago? Also, if you are ever in Tulsa, stop at Weber's, they have the root beer and the recipe. Coit's was Weber's when I was growing up, and even though Coit's bought it in 1952, they didn't change the name until 1959. And the root beer they sold was of course Weber's.

    They are serving Weber's Root Beer in the bottle at Mighty Dog just south of NW 23rd on Portland.

    There were signs up at least a few weeks ago that it was going to become a Hispanic-themed bakery. It looked like someone had put a BUNCH of work into it, too!!!!

    I, too, miss Coit's, tho. When I was a kid, going to the drive-in and hitting the OrderMatic button off one of those backlit menus was just larger than life. I know, I know, Sonic has the contemporary version of it, but...it....just....ain't...the....same...

    Where else could you get a cheeseburger or wonderfully heart stopping chili dog with delicious root beer AND a Christmas tree all in one stop. I road trip up 66 to Tulsa every now and then. I will have to try out Webbers.

    Mel,
    I don't know about their food, just their root beer, but I suspect the food is probably similar since Coit's was originally Weber's.

    I will defiantly have to make it up to Webber's in Tulsa to see. Does Webbers use Schwab's?

    Mel,
    I don't even believe they served hot dogs, I think that was a Coit's addition. And of course, this is about seventy years later, so they probably serve them now, but who knows if they're Schwab's. Maybe somebody will verify/correct my memory. Anyway, I can't answer your question. I will see what I can find with google.

    Mel,
    Looks like they barely pay homage to hot dogs, since they have two choices (three if you count the corn dog), unlike the ten or twelve served at Coit's.

    Pops in Arcadia has A LOT of different root/birch beer, sarsaparilla, etc. as well as other sodas not available unless at specialty stores. Fortune-making? eh, not really due to demand is so low but that's not to say they aren't extremely marked up. I was shocked to see six packs selling for $10.

    fwiw extracts can be easily purchased and you can recreate your own root beer drink at home.

    We have a micobrew tasting room about a mile from our house out here in SE Aurora that also brews their own root beer. Need to go get a growler of it some time. I know that Belle Isle Brewing at 50 Penn had their own root beer at one time.

    I used to buy a gallon of Coit's Root Beer when I visited the City. One time they gave me a gallon not in the usual plastic jug but in a glass carboy. On the side of the bottle was a label for root beer extract produced somewhere in Texas. Yes, Coit's was made from a commercial concentrate. Unfortunately, I no longer have this bottle and the information for the supplier.

    Isn't Webber's located in that cool little part of Tulsa just south of the Philbrooke? That area with all the little shops and restaurants and that old radio or TV tower?

    Sorry . . . I somehow missed C.T.'s post mentioning Peoria. That's the area to which I was referring.

    Yeah, this is located at 38th and Peoria and the "cool part" of Brookside (meaning that district) ends around 31st. So, it is close, but not in the middle.

    I noticed the Coits location on Penn has been torn down...maybe I have missed other threads but what is happening there? Maybe just clearing it knowing that will be done at some point anyway and will make it more maketable.

    Yeah, it was recently sold and I talked to the new owner who said it will likely be a car wash.

    I was too depressed about it to post.

    Yes, I agree with that Pete. Great iconic place. We lived in Bush Hills area when my kids were little and our Saturday morning routine was to go to the Coits on Portland for breakfast most weekends. Was a fun place and knew all the people there by name (Joe, in particular). Good memories!
