51st Street Speakeasy — Restaurant in Oklahoma City

Tucked off of Western Avenue, this local pub resides in what looks like a former residential home which added to her charm. It is also a non-smoking space which I appreciated.

She has a large outdoor and partially shaded seating area where customers can gather. There isn't much of a view but it is at least away from the busy street and highway.

The dimly lit interior is cozy with an eclectic selection of furnishing and decoration. There are two bars on the first level, one of which shares the space with a small stage.

There is also a second level with pool tables and darts for some indoor fun over drinks and bar food, which friends said is good.

I was there for comedy night on Wednesday where local stand-up hone their craft and make a little money from tips at the bar and from customers. The bar tenders were efficient and quick with drink orders.

One shortcoming is the limited number of restrooms. There are only two on the first level; one being in what looks more like the backstage (and for private use) and therefore, not visible (or available when there is a show). In addition, customers have to use the gender-neutral restroom one person at the time.

Anyway, the vibe of this pub is unique and worth another visit for the food and other events like trivia night. A good place away from midtown/downtown crowd to lay back and catch up with friends over a...

This was our first time coming to the 51st St. Speakeasy. We came to see a Reina del Cid concert. (The concert was terrific! Go see them, they won't be playing small venues for long.) The place is cozy but a little confusing. There are multiple bars and they serve food. We got our Pepsi -with lime- and free refills, which was a great deal at two bucks each. I wished there were a host of some sort to tell us what was what, where things are, and how things work. I think the main entrance is in the back by the parking lot (nice size lot.) There is also a door at the front by the road. But coming in I felt a little bit like I was intruding. We had to wander around to find the room with a stage and then hope we were in the right place. Apparently there's a game room upstairs, pool table and darts maybe but that's also the smoking area so as much as we like playing darts that was out. I'm not sure how people ordered their food, no one ever approached our table; possibly you go up to the bar and ask for a menu? It appeared to be the bar tenders delivering food when it came. We did get where we wanted to be and the bar tenders were nice and friendly, it just took some time and initiative at the start. The food smelled fantastic, maybe we'll try it if we...

WHAT A FUN NIGHT! 🌙 Met up with a group of friends. We ordered 🍸 🍹 🍸 drinks and food. They have a variety of burgers available to choose from. 🍔 My friends said they we pleased with their food. Others had appetizers. The zucchini spears were kinda a let down; but portion size was more than expected.....the quesadilla didn't come with the guacamole 🥑 as stated on the menu. They went 86 and didn't even mention it, they just served as is no comment. After our friend went up to the kitchen; they offered extra sour cream or salsa.... so food service was not the best from my observation. 👀 JS I had the Bloody Mary as expected..the first one was off the hook!🪝 The second made by a different bartender... not so much 😕 . The decor and atmosphere were wonderful.... they also offer outdoor seating 💺 and have interesting statement pieces inside and out. I especially loved 💙 the wall water fountain ⛲ outside. The music was nice... loud but not too loud. The pool 🎱 area is separate and I guess they have more rooms to explore on the 2nd floor....
