Good bar/restaurant for a date in OKC? (Tulsa, Edmond: theater, bars)

[VandenPlause]

I plan on taking out a young lady in her early twenties sometime next week, and I was hoping some of you could recommend a nice place with a more "intimate" vibe. I'd like to keep it to just drinks, as we've done the restaurant thing a few times before (swapping turns paying per her suggestion when we go out, despite my attempts at being a gentleman and offering to pay ), so I really want to branch out with something different this time.

Ideally I'd like something more "mature" and would like to shy away from places that have "kids" that just turned 21 if you catch my drift.

I also want to avoid taking her to a total "dive-bar", I'm trying for something casual yet a little bit classy here.

Anyone ever try the RedPin? They have a bar? Bowling might be nice as a background setting, and heck, maybe even bowl a game or two ourselves! Fun can be the ultimate vibe, so really, just throw me any suggestions you have here please.

Any places have a bar with jazz, maybe dancing (nothing too loud, more of a romantic setting)?

Anyone ever try the red piano lounge?

Any karaoke places/suggestions while I'm at it? That might be fun one night
as well.

Comedy clubs?

Suggested attire for any of these places or others that are mentioned would be great as well. I don't want to be showing up in jeans if it's a more formal venue, (and would like to inform her ahead of time as well so she can make preparations)

Most likely we'll be heading out between Tuesday and Thursday, so unless a place is "jumping" I don't anticipate any large crowds.

Thanks!

Haven't been there myself yet, but I've heard RedPin is wayy cool. And yes, they do have a bar.

Another good, classy place is the Purple Bar upstairs at Nonna's.

Also, Deep Fork Grill has a great bar area with lounge chairs.

Have fun!

Red Rock Canyon (off Hefner Lake) has a upscale feel without having to be dressed to the nine. It's a bar and restuarant. When it gets warmer the patio opens up and they have a bartender working the bar outside and another one inside.

We also like Lottinvilles Wood Grill in Edmond. Very cozy and intimate feel. We watched some of the NCAA games at the bar there this week and had a really good time. The games were on mute though, so that people can have conversations without yelling or straining to hear.

Iron Star in OKC has a neat atmosphere. It too is a restuarant and bar.

All the above establishments have bars that have a steady stream of patrons, intimate lighting, cozy, classy and is not over done. You can wear jeans to any of these places or dress pants...your choice. I prefer to go to venues that have clothing attire flexibility to accomodate my moods. One day I may feel it while on another day, I may just want to bum out but yet have a nice meal and drink.

I enjoy the Deep Fork Grill on Western and the freeway going up to Tulsa. Northeast corner of what makes up that intersection. Also, during the summer months, I believe June to Sept or Oct if you're a member of the Arts Museum you can have cocktails on the roof of the museum. Nice for a starter.

I was going to recommend Deep Fork as well. Or any of those places south of there, Sushi Neko, etc.

The Red Bar at Red Prime Steakhouse might be nice. I haven't been but have been wanting to try it.

Another rather cool place I think is the bar at the new Warren Theater in Moore. Or maybe watch a movie from one of the balconies and enjoy a drink at the same time.
I just had lunch at the diner in the Warren and it was actually very good food.
