re: OKC Food and Drink

I used to have to go there for work sometimes. I always stayed in Bricktown so I don't know much about anywhere outside of that area.

Beer-it pretty much sucks there. There are a handful of local breweries making mostly mediocre stuff. Prairie is good but its located in Tulsa. Tapworks was the best bet, decent selection but they didn't seem like they cleaned their lines very well or at all. I used to go to a liquor store near the YMCA that had a good selection. There is a place up near CHKs campus but I can't remember the name. It was some gastropub.

Food- Nic's grill has one of the greasiest meanest burgers anywhere. Its cash only and the size of my college apartment so don't go with more than one other person. Since finding this place I have made it a point to go there every time i am in OKC. I am also a big fan of Red Prime steak house. Its up there with any of the best I have eaten at. I've eaten there 3 times and seen Derek Fisher there each time. Mantle's is good and there is nothing wrong with it, I've enjoyed meals there also.

If you make it down to Norman there is a great italian place that is way too good to be in Norman. Again, the name escapes me. Don't have high expectations of OKC and you'll have fun.
