It seems as if every city in the U.S. has a place called the 'Blue Note'. In OKC however, this one is not named after the legendary jazz label. Nevertheless, since 1951 this particular one has provided the sounds of every type of music imaginable, not just jazz. In fact, Blue Note is a haven for punk and rock fans, with at least one live act on stage during the week. Upon entering, the casual atmosphere and great drinks only highlight the music. And if you're here during happy hour you'll get to play a free game of pool and enjoy two drinks for the price of one.

The food is very basic, burgers and fries. The specialty (if you can call it that) is a greasy onion burger. But people do not typically come here for the food. There is live music every Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday nights, and sometimes on Saturday, too. The music is rockabilly and progressive bluegrass. Aside from enjoying the music, you can also enjoy pool tables, dartboards and five television sets where you can watch the game.
