What's your opinion of this place.  Good cocktails?

Nice comfortable place. Often has good live music and the owner tries to have a different local artist show their work there every month. Tries to get artists who are just starting out and get them a bit of exposure.

I also really like Lolas which is just down the street.  And Gypsy coffe house and cyber cafe, which is nearby, can be a funky place to hang out as well. Its in the old Gypsy Oil building.

I like it.  Non-smoking.  But just a word of warning...it leans towards the GLBT crowd.  If you're not used to it, I didn't want it to come as a shock.  But I think they have all sorts of clientele, especially on nights when they have art shows and live music.

I am sure Townsend was aware of that. Hence the "cocktails" comment.  But I think "come as a shock" is a, disrespectful choice of words. Not only for those that go there but to anyone who may decide to visit. If someone is inclined to be "shocked" do you think they deserve the effort of a "fair warning"?  If we are so concerned about possibly shocking poor unsuspecting people, perhaps we should have a similar warning about this website.

Oh, I went to that new restaurant downtown, El Guapos. It was good. But just a word of warning... it leans to the "breeder" crowd. If you're not used to it, I didn't want it to come as a shock.

It's definitely a gay bar on Thurs and Sunday... but Fri/Sat is a mixed, eclectic crowd.... best view of downtown Tulsa.  The owner's a great guy... and he really, really wants it to be a mixed-crowd, eclectic "arts" bar...

Trying to find a niche.

How abut Yellow Brick Road, the Bamboo Lounge, or Club Majestic.  Now THOSE are gay bars.  Actually a brief search reveals much more "gay" nightlife than one might imagine in Tulsa, 9 gay bars listed.  Sorry if it "shocks" anyone to know that Tulsa is a regional gay mecca.  [8D]

and while El Guapo would be a great name for a gay bar, I'm afraid its just a nice Mexican Restaurant.  I need to get out to the Brady District more.

Damn dudes, I was just wondering if it was a cool place to drink for HH.  No troubles with the alternative lifestyles.  Appreciate the concern.

"cocktails" is just part of my vernacular.

Much abliged

Artist - Been to Lola's many times since it was the Snooty Fox.  Thanks for the heads up though.  I've just never noticed this bar (209)before.  Did it open around the time of Mooch and Burn?

My apologies. And I have never heard of Mooch and Burn. Where is it and what is it? Restaurant, bar, club, music?

Cool cellar style bar.  Reminded me of some undergrounds I'd been to.  There are live bands there.  I dug it last few times I was there after a show at Cain's.

It's on North Main across the street and South of Sound Pony.  Last time I was there there was just the word "bar" painted above the door.

Earlier this week, I'd heard Mooch & Burn was closing or has closed.  Anyone know if that's Gospel?

What does PWI stand for??

209 is a pretty good place, and I'd like to second the whole 'best view of downtown' statement.
