Oklahoma City's Best Date Bars
UPTOWN
THE PUMP BAR
Walk by the roll-up service bay doors to a question mark-shaped bar while classic cult cinema plays on flatscreens overhead. Choose from 16 local and specialty beers on tap, over 50 domestic and import craft bottles, and whiskeys made by Southerners or Scotsmen whose names you can’t pronounce. If you’re feeling frugal, grab a can of PBR and a shot of something stiff for five bucks. Head on out to the sprawling 9,000 sq ft. patio area to settle in with a Tiki cocktail around a roaring gas fire pit and watch a grindhouse movie on the wall. Slide around back to the gaming area to make new friends over a game of cornhole. Celebrate victory, defeat, or whatever with a visit to the food truck for fresh and affordable eats outside the culinary norm.

R&J LOUNGE AND SUPPER CLUB
R&J Lounge offers exceptional food and drinks, including champagne on tap. According to them, "Our beverages are reminiscent of a simpler place and time, with a focus on classic highballs like the 7 and 7 and Singapore Sling, and beers your grandparents might offer at a family reunion." It's small and intimate, making it the perfect setting for first-date conversation. It's located in the heart of Midtown and stays open until 2 am, making it a perfect spot for a post-dinner nightcap.
