Downtown

[MsProudSooner]

I'm not sure if this is the proper forum for this question............

I'm getting a lot of questions from people coming from out of town for the Paul McCartney concert.  They are asking about places to eat and drink downtown.  Other than the usual suspects (El Guapo, McNellies, Yo Momma's, Spaghetti Warehouse etc.) what are the best suggestions?

Thanks!

Tiamos is very close.  3rd and Cheyenne. 

Baxter's at 7thish and Houston for simpler food.

Chalkboard in the Ambassador hotel for a higher end dinner.  They run shuttles from the hotel to the Arena on show nights.  I'm betting they'll need reservations on that night.

Lola's on Main & Brady and Caz's Chowhouse across the street from there are both great places to eat dinner.

Phat Philly's, but I am not sure what their hours are.

TiAmos' open already?

Yes, been in for dinner and drinks.

The menu is good.  Different from the other store.

Did Tiamo's take the SoChey/Pomodori's spot?

Yes.

No more couches but still looks nice.  Service was excellent and so was the food.  Especially for the price point.
