Powerhouse: A Culinary Adventure in Oklahoma City

Great staff, drinks, food, music and outdoor patios!! Nice little spot to hangout with family/friends. Easy accessible parking and clean facilities. I like that you can order awesome munchies later at night than most places. Corn hole funness!!!

If you are true New Mexican green chili lover it is a slice of heaven!! The food is excellent as is the service. The staff is friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is quaint and relaxed. Plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy cooler evenings. Will definitely return!!

Let me start by saying this: Powerhouse Bar isn’t just a bar. It’s an experience, a movement, a meticulously curated escape nestled in the heart of Oklahoma City that radiates hospitality, soul, and creativity from every brick, beam, and cocktail glass. I’ve traveled far and wide, but few places have hit me in the chest — and the taste buds — quite like this. The People Make the Powerhouse At the heart of it all are the humans who breathe life into this place, and they deserve nothing less than a standing ovation. • Clay, the ever-present force behind the bar’s identity, is a curator of vibes, flavor, and flow. His eye for detail and commitment to quality are evident in everything — from the rotating seasonal menus to the subtle lighting and soundscapes that shift the room’s energy just right. • Hannah is a magician. She doesn’t just serve drinks; she interprets your mood, your aura, and delivers a handcrafted elixir that somehow feels like it was meant for you. Her ability to connect, charm, and elevate a night is pure sorcery. • Liz, an artist in motion, carries grace and power in equal measure. Whether she’s slinging mezcal cocktails or orchestrating the dance of a packed Friday night, she does it all with poise, intention, and a signature spark that makes you feel instantly at home. • Wiley is the spirit guide you didn’t know you needed — dropping knowledge, keeping the rhythm tight, and ensuring the place hums with warm, intelligent energy. She’s part bouncer, part philosopher, all heart. • And to all the supporting staff — every runner, barback, and unsung hero behind the scenes: you’re the heartbeat. Your attention to detail is staggering, your hustle is palpable, and your energy bleeds into every guest’s experience. Nothing here is by accident. A Pit Beef Sandwich That Changed My Life Yes, I said it. I don’t toss around words like life-changing lightly. But that pit beef sandwich — slow-smoked to perfection, kissed by fire, and layered with house sauces that feel like culinary poetry — completely rewired my understanding of bar food. Juicy, smoky, bold, and balanced, it was the kind of sandwich that stops conversation mid-bite. I had to close my eyes. It was that good. The food program here doesn’t ride shotgun to the bar — it rides right alongside it, steering the night toward unforgettable. The Dinks Are Out of Sight Let’s talk about the dinks — these aren’t just drinks, they’re transcendental events in a glass. Thoughtfully composed, beautifully presented, and deceptively complex, every dink I’ve had here has been a masterclass in balance and innovation. Whether it’s a smoky mezcal number, a refreshing seasonal gin infusion, or some off-menu wizardry whipped up on a whim, you’re guaranteed to be blown away. If you’re lucky enough to sip something Liz, Wiley, or Hannah creates on the fly — trust me — you’re witnessing a moment of liquid alchemy. Atmosphere Vibes Pure Alchemy The atmosphere at Powerhouse is untouchable. Rustic yet refined. Laid-back yet electric. From the worn wood of the bar to the flickering glow of string lights in the patio breeze, every detail feels intentional. There’s music, but it never overpowers. There’s energy, but never chaos. There’s soul, and it’s undeniable. And the vibes? Let’s be honest. The vibes are emasculate. Not just immaculate. Emasculate. Because this place doesn’t just cleanse — it strips away your cynicism, your day’s worries, and any sense of pretension. It’s a spiritual realignment in cocktail form. ⸻ In short: If you haven’t been to Powerhouse, you’re missing out on something rare — a place where intention meets execution, where every human behind the scenes cares, and where you don’t just get a drink or a bite, you get a memory. Powerhouse Bar is a jewel in OKC’s crown, and the team running it deserves nothing short of reverence. 11/10. Get there. Tell them I sent you. Stay for the vibes.

My favorite bar in OKC. I grew up in Texas and this place reminds me so much of home. This is a bar you come to for the food as much as for the drinks. Food is SPICY for real though so be warned. And the bartenders couldn’t be any warmer and friendlier. Great experience all around every time!

This is a cozy restaurant and bar which I visited for the first time today. The day's special was a spicy gumbo. A grill is on the patio for cooking steaks. There are mixed drinks, house specials, and beer on tap and in bottles and cans. The restaurant is on the north side of the former Sterlings Store at the old Farmers' Market.

Best place in okc for cocktails, margs, pork verde, and ambiance. I suggest the hatch marg for a drink. ps the farmers market and urban agrarian are great places next door to grab local produce

Great food, great drinks, great service. The three ladies that were bartending on my visit were crazy amazing. We were constantly impressed with how efficient they were and how delicious the drinks are.

Wonderful Bourbon Smash! Love the habanero jam in the cocktail! Second time I’ve been here and the bartenders are superb! Thank you!
