    They have a really good Happy Hour with a specific food and beverage menu. First off, the selection for Happy Hour is fantastic. You get complementary Tornillos which has a house blend spice, sea salt, and coconut oil on them. They are light and crispy. And quite tasty. Two bartenders who immediately acknowledged us and took our drink order. Drinks were on point! I wasn't going to eat as I was just out for drinks, but decided to get a carne asada quesadilla. The cheese was gooey and amazing. They have a great bar set up and tables. They have a pool table as well. Definitely will come back for more Happy Hours!

    Your food is awesome. I love the drinks great price. The ambience is the cutest. Our service is great and I'll definitely go back again.

    Found my favorite cocktail bar in OKC! I just love how stylish, intimate, and full of character this place is and the vibes are amazing. Around 10 or 11 p.m., they dim the lights and the DJ starts playing, which really sets the mood for a fun night. They also serve food during the day and evening, though I haven't had a chance to try it yet. My friends and I usually come here for a laid-back night out, and I think it's perfect for both a fun evening with friends or a cute, romantic date. Another reason I love this spot is their seasonal menu, they always have unique and creative drinks that keep things exciting.

    Ceviche!

    I came for dinner with coworkers, and it was excellent! Fabulous service. Very chill vibes, and no one ever rushed us. They have one of the best cocktail selections I've seen in okc! This whole area is very cool. My ceviche was also some of the best I've had in okc! Delicious. Very reasonably priced for quality. I'll be back.

    Great time here. Palo Santo was recommended by another Yelper and I am so glad we checked this place out. First, it is a cocktail bar and honestly if you didn't know it was here or you weren't making it a destination, you probably would pass it by. Loved the cocktail menu. I only tried their version of an Old Fashion. Spot on. Their seasoned popcorn is put on the table almost immediately and it's addictive. I ordered the bean dip for the table and asked for both tortilla chips and bread. I would do that again. The bread is fantastic just by itself. I would order the dip again. It's a cold dip with great vinegar tang. I also tried the chicken katsu sandwich. Spicy but good. Very chill place and I loved the plants that decorated the space. The area (around the the old Farmers Public Market) looks like it has potential.

    Loved checking out this place in the stockyards. Service was quick and friendly. The salsa was great to snack on while waiting for our quesadillas. Also had great craft cocktails. There's a pool table and a garage door that I assume is open when it's nicer outside.

    This is a cocktail bar and kitchen located west of downtown okc in the farmers market district. It has a retro 70's vibe with their decor and creative cocktails.

    Still love this place. Amazing drinks. Sunny Spot is still my favorite but if I'm feeling something a little sweeter and creamer the Banana Nacional is my next favorite. Complimentary spicy popcorn This is my husband and mine favorite cocktail bar in OKC it's romantic and good vibe

    This place has been a post work go to!! Welcoming social environment with great drinks and very tasty food. We haven't had one thing of this food menu that was bad. The drinks are crafted perfectly and never disappoint! They have a pool table too!

    Palo Santo in OKC nails the moody, intimate cocktail bar atmosphere without trying too hard. The lighting is warm and low, with glowing shelves behind the bar that make every bottle look like it belongs in a magazine shoot. The bar staff moves with a confident, unhurried energy like they know they're about to make you something special. From the fresh garnishes to the perfectly stacked glassware, everything looks intentional and well-executed. Great for date night, catching up with friends, or just treating yourself to a solo drink in style. It has a tucked-away, secret-lounge vibe, but without the pretension. Palo Santo feels like a hidden gem that's quietly built its cult following, don't sleep on it.

    Excellent Mexican food in a low-key, ultra-stylish and relaxing atmosphere. Service was great and super attentive. They also give you complimentary popcorn with tasty spices (maybe cinnamon too). Got the California burrito, a delicious tater tot dish that I forgot the name of and also the Mexican chocolate dessert - which was sublime, a little bitter but matched with a different type of sweetness. Highly recommended!

    Matcha waiting for
    Erika O.

    Came in a Friday night and it was super busy! They give you popcorn which is nice. I got the soirée spritz and the quesadillas to start. The drink was really good and the quesadillas were amazing! I loved the carne asada. I also tried their matcha drink which had a coconut cold foam, and it was so good. I've never had anything like it. The lights are dim and they had a DJ, loved the vibes for a Friday night. It gets a little loud so if u want a quiet place to hang out this probably isn't for you. Definitely will be back!

    Kind of a cool place, located within the lobby area of the Omni Hotel in Oklahoma City. The bar is…read moreaccessible to the public. It's not especially large in terms of seating available, but it does have a pretty fair selection of whiskeys and other spirits for cocktails and mixed drinks. The seating they do have is very lounge-y, with comfortable armchairs and couches surrounding a series of low tables, and some stool seating at the bar. The staff have always been friendly, and the decor is definitely rural/western themed. Some plusses: Because it's in the hotel lobby, there's a ton more seating in the lobby area itself, which is very comfortable. Not only that, there's several restaurants located within the hotel, including The Tap House and Bob's Steak and Chop House ($$$$). Both are fantastic. So if you're meeting up for dinner with friends, you can loosen up with a drink at the Basin Bar first. Or after. Or whatever! Also, down the hall is a coffee shop and a small gift shop. The only real minus: their prices. You expect to pay a little higher at a bar/lounge for drinks, but this one struck me as steeper than normal. A Tom Collins (which was on the weak side) and an IPA cost $30 before the tip. The next night I stopped in for a couple of standard sized cans of IPA, and was charged $20, again before the tip. PRO TIP FOR MANAGEMENT: Less is more. Charge less, you'll have more customers and they'll spend more.

I finally made my way here tonight before a work get together and initially I enjoyed the space and atmosphere. It is very cozy and intimate, and there are not many bars like it in OKC. However, when it came to the bartenders (two from my interaction) and cocktails -- my experience was less than cozy. Long story short, I asked for an espresso martini, a basic drink I know. And I was told as such by both bartenders working, one of which called me 'boring'. They wanted me to try a drink off their menu, and I respect the pride and effort this business put into crafting unique, holiday cocktails. However, none of them spoke to me tonight, and I wanted a run of the mill espresso martini. One bartender asked if I would be willing to try one of their drinks similar to an espresso martini, to which I agreed, however I still did not enjoy and requested a regular (boring and basic) espresso martini. They said they typically avoid making these popular drinks, but made an exception for me. Which is really unfortunate, because it was one of the best espresso martinis I've had in the city. Both bartenders later apologized for their comments, but I'm unsure if they were genuine or trying to save face. All in all, if you're willing to explore untraditional cocktails with a cozy vibe, you should try this place. If you have a simple pallet, that doesn't need to be wowed, it's questionable if you should visit. If this review doesn't get me banned, I may give it another try. Happy drinking!
