The food was fried and amazing, there were $1 wings, free parking, karaoke,free pool. All of that together sounded like a good night out for a group party! We invited about 20 friends for my 30th bday to meet us there to sing, drink, and eat only to find they got rid of karaoke a few weeks ago. The bartenders that night were so sweet explaining everything to us, but we could tell just from the 10 tvs playing the news on every wall that it probably wasnt gonna be a fit without the karaoke. The world is bleak enough right now without the wall-to-wall reminders of why. Genuinely a great little spot for anyone just looking to get out of the house for a drink and bar food, not the place for karaoke anymore though.

I am going to try to express what I want to say in the nicest.... most diplomatic, respectful way…read morepossible. CCR. A fan. I still remember the pride when Dirks Bentley wore the CCR shirt on the awards show. I love their music. I still hit Spotify all the time. Thank you. Second thank you. A BIG one for inviting Will Hoge. I have followed him for almost 19 years now. I have seen him live many times. In fact.... I saw him in Austin the night before I saw him at Grady's. Epic show in Austin. Magical. I live in El Reno. I haven't always. So I would be and am grateful for any live music near me. I will go over and spend a bill. Drink. Laugh. Sing. As often as I can. I think Mr. Cross for even giving me that opportunity. Now. The lights. The sound system. All the buffering built into the walls. It is a great place to listen to music because I think Mr. Cross knows music. But.... the high top tables in front of the stage. No. People come and stand. And when I am sitting... I cannot see. I got there at 6:30 pm for a 8:00 pm show to claim my spot. My first number is not a 2. It is a 4. I loved that all the people who were there and their first number was a 2.... and they knew Will's songs. And sang. Support the music. Yes. But when they were standing in front of me.... blocking my well staked out view of the stage.... I was annoyed. Low top tables please. The bouncer cleared all the glass and bottles in a timely manner. I get that. Appreciate it. I saw bar fights often in dive bars when my first number was a 2. I appreciate the staff. Glass is dangerous. The Bloody Mary that the nice girl hobbling around in a boot made me... really good. All the staff .... very nice. She was great and I tipped her well. Ask her. So grateful. Really. That Will was invited and came. Thank you. And I know it is a dive bar. I have been in so so many. And I will return to this one. I just hope next time... may be there will be a few low top tables and chairs in front of the stage. And may be a watchful bouncer that will help encourage the lively people who stood in front of me and basically took over the show... will be reined in a bit. Mr. Cross. Respectfully. You are a delight. I thank you for the bar. It's been a great success. I hope it continues to be. Respectfully. A very enthusiastic fan of Live music. And I have a credit card... and I am certainly willing to give you my money if I can see the Band not the back of another patrons head all night long.

I asked a dirty blonde haired young bartender girl if she knew how to make an "original " old…read morefashioned. She said "yeah I just don't have the cherries or syrup" I told her that the original was made in 1880 and it didn't have any of that stuff in it except a quality rye whiskey. Then you stir it with bitters and sugar. Serve over a block of ice. She said "I've been trained and I've been bartending for 10 years. " I said " the drink is older than us and was invented before you and I were born." She asked what whiskey I'd like. She didn't have any Bullet brand or Woodford so she offered a Pinhook brand rye. It was $10.40 for a small 2 Ozs and she asks how much bitters..and sugar. (Didn't she just tell me she knew how to make an old fashioned? ) and that she'd been bartending 10 years. Then she dumped a 1/2 glass of chipped ice on top and asked if I wanted it stirred. I told her "sure" Hell she had it so full of ice she couldn't stir it and it watered down the drink. We'll come back for the music and ask a manager to correct everything. The customer is always right and I didn't need the attitude from you. I tipped your jar anyway snowflake.

First of all, I am not from Lawton. I lived here from '98 to '05 and come back from time to time to…read moresee relatives and old friends. I was here recently and low and behold, I found this gem. The Side Bar is a true diamond in the rough of what is Lawton, Oklahoma. The owner(s) is definitely not a local and why he would live here is beyond me. BUT the ambiance, decor, and cosmopolitan look is very well done and stands up with any great bar in Deep Ellum or Lower Greenville. It's only when the clientele open their mouths do you realize, "yup, I'm still in Lawton, Oklahoma." The bartenders are not just cute but actually were attentive (more so than many places in Dallas) and, considering it is Lawton, Oklahoma, know what a Manhattan is as well as an Old Fashioned. Unfortunately they served without rye but I don't hold it against them (looking at you management/owner) because I was immediately told about it. I'm looking forward to asking for a sazerac or a cosmopolitan on my next visit so hopefully they have the goods. The only issue I had with the staff (IF he is on the payroll) was some idiot who treated the music as his own personal playlist; diverse clientele be damned. Even the bartenders were annoyed at him but he straightened up once the owner was on site. Also, there is a lot of smoke/vaping but I give that a pass since, well, it is Lawton, Oklahoma. PROS: Atmosphere; diverse crowd; attentive bartenders who knew how to make a drink without googling it; owner seems cool CONS: CASH ONLY (but there is an ATM just outside); may be out of liquor for classic cocktails; smoking/vaping; idiot wannabe DJ In closing: I would have given a 5 star if the liquor was stocked (in spite of the idiot dj). BUT I will be back again and have already recommended to the locals I know there

They have 3 pool tables, 4 fooseballs, punching game and a dart board. Also has a hi-tech jukebox which was quiet, but occasionally played some rock. Definitely worth stopping in if you're around.
