Glamour (formerly Banquet Cinema Pub)

This is what I was getting at as well previously. If they just stayed the course in a short time the Bower will be online and hopefully soonish the new complex across the street will go in. 4th is also due bikewalkokc refurbishment. All these things would help.

The 'temporary' closure is at 5 months and counting.

A ton of money was spent on this space but I've yet to see any signs of rebirth as a brewery or anything else.

Pretty sure I saw a For Sale or For Lease sign on, or in front, of the building when I walked past it last week that I had not noticed before.

Yep, up for lease by the building owner:

This is sooo sad. Has anyone heard anything about what might go in here? I liked having a place to watch old movies with good food.

[shawnw]

Even if another movie operator would take it over for a minute, like OKC MOA, Tower, or Rodeo, and use it for additional movie screenings it would be better than letting it rot.

This is what is planned for this space:

consumption lounge
This will be a smoking bar. We will have a simple food menu, we will also sell mixed drinks, beer and wine (so we will obtain an alcohol license). This will be what is classified as a Cannabis Cafe or a Consumption Lounge. There will be no cannabis sold in the bar itself, but we do have approval from the OMMA, Able Commission & the OKC Police Department to open this as a smoking bar. We will not make any changes to the blue print of the facility, but we will need to obtain a change of use permit.

Woah, no idea that was allowed in OK. Surprised this is the first place I've heard of doing this.

[Martin]

huh. i've never heard of a club where people get together and socialize while taking their prescription medication. : )

[shawnw]

Such a downgrade for this space.....

[Plutonic Panda]

That is awesome. I rarely smoke but I’d like to see more smoking bars that aren’t hole in the wall places.

How so? It's just a vacant building. Better than letting it rot.

I meant from being Banquet Cinema, the topic of the thread.

Well the cinema has been closed for a year, so that ship sailed as far as lamenting what could have been. It is better to see if the new use is more profitable than the cinema was.

Honestly this is cool. Sell junk food and beer and let people relax like they already do in their backyards and garages while lighting up.

This will probably be successful because this location is still a destination place, not a casual passerby location.

[TeeDub2]

Main question here: Will they somehow sell that damn good pizza??

Work continues on this space for the consumption lounge.

There are a couple of people working there almost every time I go by.

I noticed video gaming chairs and screens along Shartel.

I'm not sure Consumption Lounge is the best of names for a smoking bar...a definition, although dated ..."consumption is a wasting disease, especially pulmonary tuberculosis."

I'm not sure of the name; that was just the description in the permit.

This is a very big space. They are going to need lots of luck.

Thought the exact same thing. A lot of people may not get that reference, but it's the first thing I thought of.

Respectfully, just curious when was the last time you used that term among friends or family?

Not recently. But that doesn't mean I don't still have the association with the term.

Guys, this is smoking. “Cancer sticks”, “coffin nails”, “lung darts”...gallows humor is very popular among people who engage in self-destructive activities.

Just wish they’d call it C.O.P.Dive

[Pete]

The new place will be called Three Cubed:

[SEMIweather]

All of the mathematicians are just going to refer to it as 27, though.
