New sports bar downtown

[OurTulsa]

Caught word that someone is developing a sports bar downtown in this building at 2nd St. and Cheyenne.  Anyone know details?

Dont' know anything about it. But the 2nd floor could have some awesome possibilities...

I'd be happy to patronize it but that building doesn't look like a good location for a bar. Besides being somewhat isolated, how would you even create a space that's inviting from the outside in that space?

That Brickhugger Bar project was supposed to go in one block south of here before being shelved. Is there any relation between the two projects?

Add 1st floor windows?

It's walking distance from the BOK and is right down the road from restaurants I frequent so I don't consider it isolated.

Speaking of sports bars, what ever became of the upscale one that was planned for 61st and Memorial? BTW this looks like a good location. Wasn't it a printing company at one time?

Hey, is Cooperstown still a hopping joint in Phoenix?  I liked that place.

Yes it is. And it will probably be busy tonight with the Mercury going for the WNBA title. It's got a great location just behind US Airways (We still call it AWA for America West Airlines) and a couple of blocks from Chase Field. Most of those place came after the ball park was built, but it started in '92 when they built the arena downtown. You were here last year for NASCAR right? You wouldn't recognize some of the downtown areas with all the construction. The lates thing is that the Dbacks and the Suns have entered into an agreement with the light rail that a game ticket will work for a rail ticket. I also think ASU is doing something like that since it passes right by Sun Devil stadium.

I did the November races in '06 and last year.  It was '06 when we went to Alice's place.  I wanted to come out again this year, but since they closed Manzanita- which was a big part of the attraction and I've had a lot of cycling and rowing events this fall, I figured I might go to the spring race coming up.  I really want to row on Town Lake as well some time.  I got some contacts at Rio Salado Rowing Club but they didn't return any calls or emails until about three months later.

Not enough interest? Financing fell through? I wouldn't have gone, but I'm just curious.

So anyway, back to the originally topic. lol! Place looks like it could have real possibilties. If anyone knows for sure, please post.

If you stood in front of the place on an evening or weekend for an hour, you could count the foot traffic on one hand, except the couple times a month there's a major event at the BOK.
