Be happy you aren't the one making weight this weekend and check out the Best Mexican food in OKC … or anywhere in that case. Start with some delicious queso with your chips, but leave room for the tortillas that are as thick as pancakes!
2. Bass Pro Shop -- 200 Bass Pro Drive -- 405.218.5200 -- www.basspro.com
After wrestling season comes fishing season! Check this place out on your way out of town to load up on some lures!
3. Water Taxi of OKC -- www.watertaxi.com/Oklahoma/OKCHome.Asp
Sit back and enjoy the views while taking a ride down the Bricktown canal. Choose from narrated canal cruises, cocktail or dinner cruises.
4. Wormy Dog Saloon -- 311 E. Sheridan Ave. -- 405.6016276 -- www.wormydog.com
Saddle Up (seriously, the bar stools are saddles) at the Wormy Dog Saloon in Bricktown for live music on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday nights. Don't go if you are looking to get liquored up, though, because this Saloon only serves beer.
5. Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial -- www.oklahomacitynationalmemorial.org
Located in downtown OKC, a beautiful tribute to the lives that were lost in the bombing.
6. TapWerks Ale House -- 121 E. Sheridan Ave. -- 405.319.9599 -- www.tapwerks.com
Also in Bricktown, TapWerks offers a huge variety of delicious beer. Try sample the entire wall of taps … after the sessions are over for the day!
7. Makers Cigar & Piano Lounge -- 405.606.9000 -- www.makersokc.com/cigarpiano
Celebrate your favorite wrestler's victory over a cognac and cigar! They have a huge menu of wonderful cigars coupled with great live music.
Located on the canal in Bricktown, this place has a big outdoor patio and a hot dance floor. You'll want to pull out your nicer duds as this place is a little dressier and does not allow baseball hats.
9. Hideaway Pizza -- 2 Mickey Mantle Dr. -- 405.232.4776 -- www.hidawaypizza.com
In between sessions, grab lunch to go at Hideaway Pizza in Bricktown (I suggest the Paradise Pie). Open 11-1:30 M-F, pick up your pizza at the curb-side window and eat on the outdoor patio outside the Bricktown Ballpark.
10. Toby Keith's I love This Bar and Grill -- 310 Johnny Bench Drive, 405.231.0254 -- www.ilovethisbarandgrillokc.com
Located in the heart of Bricktown, Toby's restaurant named after his No. 1 song is a hit of its own! Great food, comfortable atmosphere and great live music on Friday's and Saturday's will have you coming back to OKC again and again!
