"Music is a big part of the culture that we try to promote, and Oklahoma City already had a connection to New Orleans through the jazz medium, so we just wanted to amplify that a little bit." - David Southard, co-owner of Bourbon St. Café. 🎷

Since November 2000, Bourbon St. Cafe has been Bricktown's beloved destination as the first business along the iconic Bricktown Canal, offering a perfect waterfront patio to savor Cajun and Creole gastronomy amidst a vibrant atmosphere.

Nestled in the historic Kingman Building at the crossroads of Oklahoma Avenue and the Canal, this unique eatery brings a delightful fusion of Southern Louisiana flavors and local inspirations, providing an outstanding culinary experience for almost 23 years. 🦐

With background tunes and live bands every weekend, Bourbon St. Café's dedication to music and Southern hospitality pays homage to the connection between New Orleans and Oklahoma City through blues and jazz. 🎶

Whether you're a local or a visitor, Bourbon St. Café is a must-visit spot on the Bricktown Canal, where you can immerse yourself in Bricktown's history and charm, paired with scrumptious food and lively music.

Let’s play ball with our friends at ! ⚾️

"The Historic Bricktown District is a place for many things. Bricktown is where I work, eat, listen to live music, relax, grab a drink or two, and, dare I say, go partying (salsa dancing, to be precise). Baseball, however, was something outside of my [Bricktown] ballpark. Taylor Bond, a Water Taxi co-worker, tagged along to my first baseball game." – Excerpt from The Wheelhouse blog post titled “Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark” by Pablo Angulo-Gonzalez

Join Water Taxi photographer/writer Pablo Angulo-Gonzalez and Water Taxi Ambassador Taylor Bond as they dive into the excitement of America's favorite pastime at the Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark's $2 Tuesday!

You can attend Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark's next $2 Tuesday game next week, tomorrow, Tuesday, May 18th, at 7:05 p.m., when the Oklahoma City Dodgers take on the El Paso Chihuahuas.

One of our absolute favorite things about Oklahoma City is the art. From mural festivals, community art projects, live music initiatives, award-winning chefs + restaurants, and all the talented artists, performers and musicians this city has to offer, we're surely a city of creators.
