“I went here with a few friends and we had a great time. I can't recall the name of the lady who helped us but she was very pleasant and helpful. It was the first time for some of us and she did an amazing job teaching us proper throwing techniques and safety. If you ever find yourself in Norman OK this is a great place to spend a hour throwing axes and drinking beer.“

Our server was so sweet and although I told her no happy birthday stuff (was afraid they would sing) please she brought me a tiny little eclair with 1 little candle on it. So cute. I highly recommend Benvenuti's.“

Beer Is Good Brewing Company Brewpubs • $
216 E Main St, Norman

“University cities often have that old town-and-gown dichotomy going on, and Norman OK is no different. It’s like that old Venus-and-Mars thing used to describe the differences between men and women.I found myself in Norman (home of OU) to shoot photos of two old theatres, and naturally worked up a thirst. Beer Is Good (BIG) is located in the traditional downtown part of Norman, more than a mile from campus. And it took me a New York second to quickly realize I was among locals, not the campus community.

The brewery (I never once saw a wort kettle or fermenter) looks and feels more like a tavern, which is fine. It works. The place was decked out in a Nightmare Before Christmas motif, and the big screens showed Texas destroying OSU in football. I’m betting everyone in there was rooting for Texas, if only because of the OU/OSU rivalry.I went with a flight, as is my M.O. They had enough IPAs to do four in a row, starting with Road To El Dorado SMASH (6.6%ABV), and continuing with Clockwork Orange Juice (6.8%ABV), Real Fake Limes (8.6%ABV), and Straight Outta Compton (8.3%ABV). They were all approachable IPAs, each with unique flavor profiles. 

But it was the Compton that piqued my curiosity, its subtle malty finish raising my eyebrows in a delightful way. It is no small feat to brew hop-forward yet malt on the back side; I ordered a pint of it, again my standard procedure. Best-in-flight deserves a pint of its own.

I enjoyed my visit. The crowd was much more sedate than what you would expect in a college town. Two thumbs up.“

Its velvety smoothness and robust flavor profile make it an absolute delight to savor with every sip.

The tender, breaded pork cutlet topped with a savory mushroom sauce is a symphony of flavors that dance on the palate.Das Boot Camp's menu boasts an impressive array of traditional Bavarian dishes, each prepared with precision and care. From the hearty bratwurst platters to the indulgent pretzels served with tangy mustard, every bite is a celebration of German culinary tradition.Let's not forget the impeccable service provided by Das Boot Camp's attentive staff.

They seem to have great pool leagues, Do not let that fact keep you from attending even in the day time they have great food and better service. The selection of alcohol and beer is fairly good not too many beers on tap unless it's a weekend and the other side is open. Awesome crowds that are friendly from out of Towner to home town folks. Smoking is outside which is a bonus! Leave a great tip bc these girls know how to mix a dink.“

“I stayed here for 4 nights in RM 232 in late April of 2023. I came to Norman to visit my hometown and my alma mater. This hotel is located very close to the intersection of South University Blvd. and White Street. It is about 200 yards from the entrance to the North Oval entrance on Boyd to the OU Campus. The hotel just opened this past fall according to the staff. IIt is a brand new building that has just over 100 hotel rooms, a sports bar, and a restaurant. The hotel rooms are on the 2nd., 3rd, and 3th floor. The sports bar is on the 2nd floor while the restaurant is on the first floor. There are two ways into the hotel. The one from South University Blvd or the front goes into the restaurant section. The main entrance is on the south side of the building through the main driveway. The lobby is very nice and spacious considering the other hotels in Norman. The registration desk is right in front of you upon entering the main door. The stairs to the 2nd floor at least are to the right of the it. You can not miss them. It also leads to the sports bar which is only open on certain days of the week. Upon landing on the 2nd floor I turned right to to come to a card access door to reach the rooms on this floor. Then I used the same card to access my room. Both doors are tap the badge reader type. Upon entering my room the bathroom was on the left with a sliding door. Inside the bathroom the shower is on the left, the toilet straight ahead of you, and the sink with a very wide and deep countertop with a single wide sink. The shower and sink area came with luxury comlimentary like shampoo, conditioner, etc.. The bathroom is very spacious. You can easily have 2 people in there at the same time. I would guess it is about 7 feet between the shower and the sink side. The lighting in the bathroom I think is descent. Not makeup table bright but good. Passing the bathroom you come to the bedroom. Along the right side is a good table/counter with the flatscreen TV(around 50 inch) on it. Along the back wall is a window with roll up window curtains. There is also a sofa chair olong the wall. THe other wall were the 2 queen beds with a very good size night stand with lots of space on top for both beds. There is a 2 plug-in electrical outlet just aboe the nightstand. There is a wall mounted light between the beds that is more like a reading lamp. Not strong light. Interestingly there is no phone in the room. Makes sense since everyone uses cellphone now. On the other wall is a amour(sp?). A modern square one with one half for hangingg things. I would say you can hang about 3-5 suits in that portions. The other half is like shoebox size compartment you can put shoes or whatever in. I saw an ironing board inside as well as an umbrella. I did not see an iron in there. Maybe somewhere else in the room or get it from the main desk. Next to the amour is a shelved piece where you can find glasses, cups, along with I think were coffee/tea. Not sure. In the lower half of this piece is a refrig which I used quite a bit. The room is spacious by average hotel room types. About 5 feet between the beds. 3-4 feet on both sides of each bed, and the same in front of the beds at least. This is the open space around the room People can easily get around. The main drawback I saw in the room was lighting, esp. in the hallway from the main door to the bedroom. There is no lighting in that area. The room overall is dim unless you open the window. Nonetheless I could live with it but if someone wants strong lighting at night you might have a problem. I ate in the hotel's restaurant one night. I had the salmon which they say is their most populpar. It is good. They put what seems like a very light smokey and sweet BBQ sauce on it. I usually like my fish fresh and not spiced or sweetened and found this intriguing. I thought it was worth getting. It appears they bring their meals a la carte. It was just fish and little else. There was no side options with the meail. They did have appetizers of salad and some other items. They also had some desserts. I had a sm“

“My husband and I have been dining at Chili's for years. We've never paid more than 65 dollars for two meals and 2 alcoholic beverages ever...until last night. While it has been a month or so since we've eaten there, i was shocked to see how much your prices have increased. And the fajita meat you've been using for the prices you charge isn't worth it. This is enough to discourage us from dining out as we can't afford almost 100 dollars for 2 meals.“

“HeyDay is a great birthday celebration spot! Our party host, Kelani, was wonderful. She kept drinks full and was very kind & helpful. The time in the room didn't feel too rushed so I also appreciated that. Everything decorations wise was provided for us; from tablecloths & plates, down to the candles and a lighter. The pizza was also really good, it was completely devoured it. The Lazer tag was so much fun, the kiddos (and adults) had a blast doing that. The arcade area is on the small side but the games they do have are good ones. They also have a Lazer game room that all the kids thought was great. Overall, I would absolutely recommend throwing a birthday party here. Every employee working was friendly and efficient. Shoutout to Landon that worked the front desk, he was professional and super friendly as well. Clean location, great attractions. We can't wait to come back for unlimited Lazer tag!“
