Phoenix Rising OKC

One word....lame. Was there in July, I was so dissapointed. Will not go back

Lots of very friendly guys at this fun bar. Always busy day and night.

My partner and I frequent this bar almost weekly and tend to think of it as 'our bar'. The staff is always very friendly and the kamakaze shots will kick your butt. I think this place started out trying to be a leather bar, but has turned into a place that anyone can hang out in. Yes, they do drag shows here. Most of the time they actually have good shows.

I was visiting OKC on Friday, 5/1/2009. I went to the Phoenix Rising and was expecting to see some real men. To my shock, it was the Friday night drag show. The bar was full of 20 something twinks running around screaming. Apparently, the Phoenix has changed since I was last there 2 years earlier. Drag shows are OK when it’s a benefit fund raiser. I don’t expect to see drag queens and twinks running around in what should be a man’s bar on a Friday night. I recommend changing the name to Flamingo Flying. At least this name reflects the crowd inside.

Found this bar by accident, but glad I did. Drinks are cheap, and strong. The bartender was awesome, I had a bad day, but seeing him sing and dance put a smile on my face. This will be my hangout when im in OKC.
