did they put that sculpture outside of the bar?

No, that was relocated as part of Project 180 and that entire pedestrian way between Oklahoma Tower, Corporate Tower, the IRS Building and Devon.

I didn't think so. Thanks for the info. I just noticed the logo for the bar and was wondering.

Right, it was clever of the bar to integrate that into their branding because the statue is already a landmark.

Was not sure what tag to use for this, it is located right on the literal driveway to the Devon tower.

Edit: I did not see an existing thread before posting this but I did find this news post:

I predict this place will be very busy around 430pm-7pm. They literally have thousands of potential customers not only directly on the block, but thousands more within just a few block walk. Can keep the car in the company parking garage, stop in for a drink, and then go get your car. Right now, many workers probably elect to just go straight home because they have to get in their car and park somewhere else (Bricktown/Midtown) etc. Some people may choose to hang out for a drink to unwind while waiting on traffic to die down, or to kill time before heading home etc.

I hope they will do well, as they have a unique advantage over Bricktown and Midtown just due to their location for after work drinks.

Planning to open at 11 am Saturday and Sunday? That's bold.

Start out on slow hours so your staff can get comfortable.

If this were a restaurant or a high-volume bar, sure. But here?

Don't forget there is the Park Harvey apartments right across the street, as well as the library, also.

Haha - maybe it's just me but that menu looks like literally a carbon copy of the menu from Bricktown West. Fonts, colors, layout, everything.

They are doing a soft opening (open to all) from 4:30 to 7 today.

[Pete]

Opens starting today at 11AM.

Today? Dave Cathey said Friday in the Oklahoman.

LOL. At least we have one source of information we can trust.

[okccowan]

I liked it. It's great to have a place like this downtown.

[ChaseDweller]

Been there a couple of times now. True to their name, the Manhattans are great. Haven't tried the food yet, but will soon. It seems pretty busy at lunch and after work.

I wouldn't trust yelp reviews until the count gets to around 50-150 reviews. Go check it out for yourself. It's great!

Thinkin of trying for lunch, any recommendations. ? thanks

[ChaseDweller]

Ate lunch there last week. Sandwiches were great. A bit pricey, but it's table service, so it should be more than fast casual.

Had dinner here tonight before the Philharmonic, food was good, they seemed busy and the walk over to the Civic Center was easy. My first time trying here.
