Coach’s Restaurant and Brewery - Bricktown

May 29, 2008
If you’re going for the beer (at least if you’re looking to try something new), you’ll be disappointed. While their selection is better than many places in OK, their homebrews range from average to downright not good. And the rest of what they have, for the most part, isn’t anything you couldn’t find at most self-respecting bars. That said, it is a good restaurant. The menu is pretty standard bar fare, but it’s good and you get plenty of it. Very simply, don’t go expecting to get a great beer, but if you’re looking for a good time or some good food, it’s worth checking out.

Ambience is hard to beat, overlooking the red hawks field. The entire place is dedicated to Oklahoma Sports history. Food is tremendous, generous, and a little pricey. Home brews are mediocre, they have a decent amount of other options. Really the food and the crowd is the appeal, esp. during OU games.

Very pleasant surprise. Went for dinner and beers on a Monday night before a Hornets game. Outstanding atmosphere, as we were seated at a table overlooking the field of Bricktown Ballpark (which we were told would cost $30 if a game was going on, which is very reasonable in my opinion). Service was really good, although the staff wasn’t the most knowledgable in terms of beer. The only issue was that they brought out our samplers in a cluster, so it was hard to determine which beer was which. Food was very good and reasonably priced. Beer prices also were outstanding, as a draw cost $1.39. Not just for the beer (which is pretty decent), but a must stop for visitors to OKC.

Avoid the house brews--they range from below average to awful. The food was ok. Ballpark views are pretty cool and staff was very friendly.

I was here on a cool winter Sunday night during the off-season, so the place had merely a handful of patrons. Nice spacious sportsbar atmosphere with a big horseshoe bar (where I was). The staff is laid back and friendly but don’t seem to know much about their beers. They just ran out of their IPA before I arrived, and I was irked... but survived. The beers are decent enough, if not exceptional. Definitely a place to stop when in the area.

Great ballpark atmosphere, even in the off-season, with plenty of views of the park including outdoor patio seating available to watch games. The food was great (Beef Brisket) and service was attentive. The guy even brought me a paper to read while sitting there enjoying some beer and watching two basketball games on large projection screen TV’s. They had 7 house brews and a few assorted micros, including 3 from Boulevard. Definitely worth the stop, even though the beer is only average at best.

A very nice location at the ballpark. I would love to sit outside and watch a game from here. Service was decent although the poor woman had a table full of people. My pizza was pretty good and the IPA was great on this night. I’ve heard it is either hit or miss, kinda like in a baseball game which is fitting.

Located across the street from the Bricktown canal and Mickey Mantle’s Steakhouse, this Coach’s location is built into the Redhawks baseball stadium. Up a few flights of stairs you enter into a very large main room with a long U-shaped bar in the middle of the floor. The color and design of the interior is very comfortable, with a little bit of wood cabin with a little bit of hotel lobby... a lot of ark wood paneling with glossy stain, and a lot of bar tables sitting in front of some VERY big bay windows which peer out from left field of the ballpark. You can actually go sit outside the pub in baseball seating and watch a game while enjoying some decent beer. I would recommend a visit to this place over Bricktown Brewery if you’re in downtown, and including Tapwerks they are all within walking distance.
