Yesterday was St. Patty’s Day and I joined into the festivities in Bricktown, downtown Oklahoma City. Bricktown is the old industrial portion of OKC. Restaurant and nightclub development in the district began more than a decade ago. It now boasts a scenic canal and beautiful baseball park.
Two decades ago, downtown OKC had only two hotels and almost no nightlife. Today, there are a half dozen hotels, including the recently restored, historic Skirvin Hotel. Most of Oklahoma now has liquor by the drink (instead of liquor by the wink, but that’s another story), and many restaurants and nightclubs that stay open until the wee hours.
Here are a few pics that I took last night:
