There is something magical, nay, mystical that happens when you enter Groovy's. You must pay a $9 cover to experience this catastrophe and it is completely worth it. At least once. The place is about the size of four shoe boxes, so there might be a line to get in. While in line, you will begin to get a taste of what is waiting beyond the front doors when you see who else is waiting to get in: 50 year old secretaries. 20 something dudes looking to hit on 50 year old secretaries. A bachelorette party. Rednecks. Girls that are way too hot to be going in. A guy from Ohio. This club is smoky. Both with cigarettes and an obnoxious amount of SFX smoke that pours on the dance floor. The dance floor is a drink free and cigarette free zone. There are large bouncers that will politely remind you to get off the floor with your drink. The dance floor is usually packed and everyone is having fun. I later realized that some of the smoke was coming from the people that were rubbing their groins together. Paper glitter will randomly fall on to the dance floor. People think this is awesome. Later, drunk people will pick up the stuff from the floor and throw it back up in the air and it will land in your drink, but you won't care because you are really drunk. The music is a collection of hits from the 70s, 80s, 90s and a sprinkling of recent hits. Even your clumsy friends will be able to dance to this music. For some reason, there is a break of silence for about 4 - 10 seconds between each song. It was annoying, but it seemed to help clear the dance floor off between songs. The bar has three convenient locations to get drinks at. Sadly, the fence around the dance floor squeezes in the egress and makes it difficult to go back and forth. The bartenders are usually making Screaming Orgasms or Buttery Nipples or the other shots that people think are cute and order at this type of establishment. Still, the line moves quickly. Beers were around $3 and my Captain and Cokes were $6. The reason you want to go to this bar is to watch the other people that are going to this bar. There is a cast of characters that I assume are paid to hang out and dance. They have to be actors because there are not real people like this in the world, right? The old man in a Disco Army uniform. Girl with Mohawk like De Niro from Taxi Driver. The guy in his 50s that looks like an adult Greg Brady and wears sunglasses and a suit. The woman with outrageously large breasts and a shirt cut down to her belly button. You will be unable to turn your eyes away from this moving cataclysm of flesh. The place opens at 9:00pm. I arrived at 10:00pm and it was crowded. I spent three hours people watching and wasn't bored for an instant. I do not think I will ever return to Groovy's as is was loud and crowded and smoky. But I think if you can cough up $9, you should at least go once. I went alone and had a blast. You go there with a few friends and you will definitely have fun. And if you are lucky, the 50s Greg Brady might take off his suit jacket, unbutton his shirt and dance with you all night long. Who knows... maybe you will become one of the regulars.
I have lived in OKC for over 11 years now and Groovy's is an excellent place for dancing, dancing, and more dancing. If you aren't in the mood for dancing then you might need to go to those boring places like Graham's and/or Cowboys, but the happening place is Groovy's and no i'm not old, I am 40 years old and I absolutely love this place!!!!! The staff treats you like they've known you forever and they don't put up with any bullsh*t!!!! SO C'MON OUT AND HAVE A BLAST!!!!!
Service was good but felt like my friend and I were too young to be in there compared to the age of the rest of the crowd...the music was fun but it didn't have a lot of variety, just the same kind all night.
Rude and violent security/bouncers... got violent with my parents for no reason.
Used to love coming here but not anymore....LAME....Really older crowd age 50 plus with 10 bouncers that are JERKS, unfriendly this might be your place...that being said it's not worth $9.00 cover fee
