Blaine & Emily’s Favorite OKC Spots
Great drink spots
Quiet, cozy wine bar with over 60 wines on tap. Rarely has a crowd so great for conversation and is enjoyable for wine experts and novices alike.

The best classic cocktails are found in this small dive bar! They have a great food menu as well, but the cheap, classic cocktails are what should bring you here. The Old Fashioned or any of the Tiki drinks are a great choice but really, you can't go wrong!

We love coming here for a slightly upscale date night. It's located in an old flower shop and the original walk in cooler that was used to store flowers now stores wine and herbs. It's quiet and cozy and the food is delicious!

If you like Italian food and fresh, handmade pasta then you have to go to Flips. The pesto gnocchi is a MUST. Brunch is also available on the weekends!

Cute breakfast/brunch spot in Uptown. The honey latte is one of my favorites in the city and anything you order with a biscuit is a good choice.

Great diner with both typical breakfast/lunch items and unique choices as well. We've never had a bad meal at Sunnyside. There's multiple locations in OKC but this is the OG and my personal favorite. They have lots of plant based options as well!

Shopping
I recommend exploring the various neighborhoods in OKC to check out the local shops. These are just a few of my favorite, but there's a lot OKC has to offer by just getting out and walking around!
Just try to leave here without buy a plant... I dare you. And while you're here hit up the coffee shop that shares the space.
