I thought I read some time ago that a drafthouse type theater was one of Blake Ewings ongoing projects and that the lot at 5th and Elgin was being considered.  Maybe it could franchise Alamo drafthouse but I'd be kind of skeptical that Alamo would want to leave Texas markets.  The concept I think would be great for downtown however it happens and regardless of what it is named.

I think Blake is focusing more on his existing businesses.

Somewhat evidenced by him pulling out of Archer Folks Market

They have already expanded outside of Texas.  They have at least one in Virginia, and one in Littleton, CO.  Another is planned for Denver in a mixed use redevelopment of an old hospital near downtown.  Oklahoma seems like a natural for then since many here are already familiar with the concept.

Was there a way around the whole "no booze served in a movie theater" law we have in Oklahoma?

They only allow people 21 and up in the balcony area where they serve the booze.

As long as the area is separate, which it is at the Drafthouse and Warren, then it's legal.

North OKC location announced http://www.okctalk.com/content.php?r=478-Alamo-Drafthouse-planning-OKC-location

Tulsa can't be far behind, right?  I still think downtown would be a perfect spot for one, specifically 1st & Frankfort.  Build it on the parking lot east of McNellies with the main entrance fronting 1st Street and parking in a (finally) paved lot behind



Alamo Drafthouse Sloan's Lake (Denver) - completed in 2016 and roughly the same size as the site above

I can't see them. In the past week or two I've seen a lot of "missing" images, not sure if just one or other users (desktop viewer, here)

Apparently you can't see linked images from Google Photos unless you are on a desktop  ???

I'm using Chrome on a laptop -> no images

Google apparently doesn't like the way you link.

The best answer I can supply is maybe never, and on the corner of 12th and Never.
The question? When is the Alamo Drafthouse, a beer-and-grub moviehouse operation out of Texas, coming to Tulsa, and where is it going to be located?
