DEEP DEUCE Located just north of Bricktown, this district was the heart of OKC’s African-American neighborhood in the 1920s and 30s, and during
that time the district was known for its incredible jazz music. Music legends Jimmy Rushing and Charlie Christian both called Deep Deuce home, as did Ralph Ellison, the author of Invisible Man . Today you’ll find hip cocktail lounges, whiskey bars and dining options ranging from upscale to creative takes on comfort food. Deep Deuce is also home to ARTSPACE at Untitled, which is a hub for community engagement through the contemporary arts.
MIDTOWN Midtown’s mix of local restaurants, neighborhood pubs, unique shops and historic
homes make it a great place to experience the best of OKC’s urban renaissance. This walkable district is buzzing at all times of day. Nightlife options range from retro-chic cocktail lounges to upbeat beer halls, including one with a bowling alley. Indie boutiques sell trendy clothing and designer home decor.
PASEO ARTS DISTRICT Known for its eclectic art galleries (many attached to working artists’ studios) and
shops, as well as distinctive Spanish Revival architecture, the Paseo Arts District has a bohemian vibe that will instantly charm you. Situated around a curvy, tree-lined street, visitors love exploring the more than 20 galleries, plus shops, bars and equally creative thriving food scene all by foot.
PLAZA DISTRICT If you’re the sort that likes to check out the hip and happening, you’ll find it in the Plaza District; an enclave of locally owned shops, rotating murals, neighborhood bars, fun-and-funky restaurants, plus the quirkiest mix of patrons and proprietors that unabashedly display their love for individuality and for this city. This district is also anchored by the nationally renowned Lyric Theatre of Oklahoma.
