Phoenix Rising

⚠️Warning please be aware that this bar is a non smoking bar! They didn’t have a sign in the bar to let you know!!!! I don’t want you to get yelled at either. ⚠️ First time EVER going to this bar I will NEVER go to that bar again, I was give attitude and rudeness towards me by the bartender tonight for smoking my vape! (Mind you I didn’t see a sign that said you couldn’t smoke I was looking for a sign.) He said if I catch you smoking a vape in this bar again you will not be able to come back to this bar again!! I was so confused, This was my first coming to this bar and I got treated like trash. ️

Phoenix is STILL my favorite bar anywhere! I've lived in all the major cities in Texas, Washington, DC, Atlanta, GA, and many other large cities, and I'd rather be at Phoenix than anywhere. George and Craig (the owners) are amazing; and Mike is my favorite bartender of all time. Don't miss the chance to check out Phoenix Rising if you're in OKC.

Awesome please, but no doors in men’s room. I’ve been transitioning for 8+years and have run into this problem one other time at a dive bar. Never at an “inclusive” establishment. It’s slightly insulting.

An excellent venue with a diverse, friendly crowd and staff, and great drinks. The patio is very nice and a relaxing place to hang out in the sun. They also have great drag shows on Tuesday, Friday and Saturday. It's my must-be place for Happy Hour and Sunday Funday.

Kind of a dive but that isn't a bad thing. Crowd definitely leans more towards the female side. Drag shows aren't of the same caliber as the Boom but aren't bad. Enormous patio is weirdly nicer then the bar itself.

This place is a joke and a half went there on a Saturday and the lady was like it's a 5 buck cover I asked what event was going on and the stuck up blonde lady was like "we have been charging a fee for the past 2 years due to covid and it helps keep the rift raft out" her answer to that was just snobby and stuck up for a back woods County looking bar. I was there 2 nights prior for their drag show there was no cover charge for that so to charge a 5 buck cover on a Saturday is stupid when nooooo other place in the district was charging. If you want to keep the RIFT RAFT OUT then stop doing that pathetic excuse you call a drag now they were RIFT RAFT TRASH . SIDE NOTE THE BAR WAS EMPTY ON DRAG NIGHT SOOOOO THAT SHOULD TELL YOU SOMETHING. if you can't afford your RENT because what I understand they also own the one across the street as well that DID NOT CHARGE A FEE LOL then hang it up and shut down because this place was sad even for a dive bar.

The Drag show on Tuesday's starting at 10 is amazing and call to ask about the once a month leather night if you feel brave slash want to try that kind of thing everyone is really nice

The bartender was great! He asked me what I usually liked and made a great drink for me based on that.
