The Blue Door

This listening room is the coolest. I’m glad it exists. As someone who loves folk music, I can’t imagine a better indoor venue. It feels quite historic and also unique.
The acoustics are fantastic, and someone else had mentioned there isn’t a bad seat (yes, it’s fairly small).
I also love that it’s nonsmoking (not everyone can be in a smoky bar so I miss out on a lot of music I’d like to see in Okc).
I have never been to a listening room before this, and I appreciate being able to actually hear and see everything so well (and breathe… very important!)

This place is a very unique venue. It’s very basic and has simple rows of folding chairs instead of tables or permanent seating. I think it would be nicer to have tables personally. Maybe this isn’t what they’re going for, but it would be really nice, particularly for shows that do not sell out. There were several empty rows of seats when I was there.
The place is BYOB, which was nice in terms of affordability. The music was interesting and local. Since the venue itself is so bare bones, I think it all depends on who is playing there. I heard that they get a lot of really good performers from time to time who usually don’t play at such small venues and I think it’d really be a treat to see them play there.

Stood outside in the cold for 40 minutes since door opened late. Then another 30 minute wait for the music to start. Chairs are hard metal and I only made it to intermission when I left after 40 minute wait for music to start up again. The group was good but not great. But it was nice to have live music in Oklahoma without any smoking. I could see if you want to drink alcohol and socialize it would be a fun evening but the hard chairs and the long waits were too much for me. I probably won’t go back unless the band is fabulous.

The Blue Door is a really cool place to catch a show. It almost feels like you are in someone’s living room with a great band. Very intimate setting and it is hard not to get completely wrapped up in the music. Is short on seats but never short on people to fill them. It is a good idea to show up early and find a comfy seat.
The Blue Door is a BYOB venue. I love this. I am already spending a good chunk on tickets so bringing my own brew cuts down on the cost significantly.
Love this place. I am ready for the next show!

The music was great, by the way, not the problem. Maybe I was just here on a bad night? Website said doors opened at 7:00 and we were not let in until at least 8:00. The opener didn’t even go on until 9:30 — 10:00. Normally this isn’t a big deal, but there was no explanation for it on the website or even once we were let in.
I understood the venue was BYOB which I love, so friends and I brought a cooler. I wouldn’t recommend this especially after finally getting inside the doors we saw nowhere to put it– I felt crammed in there like a sardine with no room to do anything but sit. I blame my experience on a lack of information from the website. Like I said, I loved the music, just don’t expect more than that.

This is a wonderful venue for seeing lesser known acts. It’s a small room, which means there’s not a bad seat in the place. You’re going to get the up close and personal treatment.
This venue is also BYOB which is nice if you’d like to enjoy a glass of wine or your favorite beer as you listen.
The only real con is that the chairs are average metal folding chairs which can get a bit uncomfortable after a while.

Very neat, small listening room in the heart of OKC «Chinatown.» BYOB!!!
Greg, the owner, has invested in the vibe and the sound of the room. He also has discerning taste in music, and regularly asks his patrons to «trust him» and support artists they’ve never heard of. Quite the 21^st century message for the arts.
Tickets are normally around the $ 15 – 20 range, but it only seats 100 so you get what you pay for in intimacy. Buy tickets in advance if you really like the artist — it often sells out. There’s a cozy outdoor patio with a fire pit for hanging before and after the show.

The best small venue in OKC! Though they have a lot of Red Dirt-​type acts appear there, they’re very diverse overall. They get some great acts, ranging from indie rock crooners like Ian Moore to the famous songwriter Jimmy Webb. They’re a singer/songwriter’s venue at heart, and the owner, Greg Johnson knows his shit, and he’s very passionate about music. TIckets are usually $ 10 – 20, and it couldn’t be a more intimate setting. Get there early if there’s a fairly big name; it only seats around 100.
