The are many choices for dining and drinking located within the district. Not too crowded during the week and within walking distance from many hotels in downtown OKC. Very nice atmosphere.
Im from Houston and did not know what to expect on my first business trip to OKC. I have to say, this are is a gem! I had a great time exploring and trying out the restaurants and bars along the canal.
In my humble opinion, Oklahoma City is one of America's hidden gems. Aside from a smattering of chain restaurants, the vibe is similar to Austin and Seattle. Excellent dining abounds amidst many showcases of local artists and musicians. I suggest dining on the canal and leaving yourself enough time for a stroll through the very walkable sights.
Good place to go to unwind and relax. Be sure to take the boat and listen to the story of downtown. Make sure you eat, even if it's just ice cream
There are many restaurants and bars to choose from. The canal ride is nice and relaxing. Many hotels to choose from within walking distance. Crowded on weekends, but still worth a trip! The OKC Memorial Museum is only a few blocks away. Carriage rides are offered around the area. Nice place to spend a weekend!
I'm in town often and always try to make it to the river walk. They did an awesome job on making something to see or eat for all types of folks. My favorite things are all the wild birds that stop by.
Parking is the only drawback if you want free, which is common after 6pm in OKC.Hotels are nice, attractions are fun, and good restaurants.
I was really surprised at how well planned out this attraction was laid out with an excellent selection of restaurants, bars and entertainment. There are plenty of hotels to stay at in Bricktown that add to the overall higher end feel to this part of the Oklahoma City area. It's clearly a "Touristy" styled layout/attraction, but they hit a home run as far as I'm concerned and gave me a whole new opinion from my last stay years ago.One of my favorite things to do was get something to eat at Fuzzy's, wash it down with an excellent frozen margherita and catch a movie less than a minutes' walk away. The whole experience for me was enjoyable each time I visited there, whether just having something to drink and people-watch or enjoying music at JJ's retro style bar. The river walk with restaurants along the waterway was really relaxing and added lots of appeal. If your going to be in the OKC area I highly recommend spending some time at Bricktown.
This is a casual walking environment a little something for everyone. Food, beverages, history, large venue options, scenery. Make sure to walk along the Bricktown Canal or better yet, take the "water tour". Glad we did.
I enjoy taking my children to walk down the canal as well as taking them to all the different sights and learning experiences.
