Hilo, Dear Hilo
The last truly kind of underground place where you can meet a mix of creative people, normal people and maybe hobo maybe artist kind of people. You can listen to alternative and cool music, have intimate punk concerts, watch a NBA game or have a free breakfast. These guys are generous.
The club is pretty small, do you remember all these pocket size nightclubs that popped up a decade ago when everybody was sick of massive rave party (I know, EDM), well it just feels like you are in le Baron or the Beatrice Inn once again.
If this place was located in an international hub, it would be so popular it would need several bouncers. There would be articles about how to get in Hilo Club and very boring portrait of people who hang out there.
Well these cities are a few thousands miles away and a burger joint tried to buy it out to open a new location.
Seriously, it is one the true historical place of OKc, I think they should bank on it and revamp every building of this lot and provide once and for all the ultimate experience everybody is so craving to get : authenticity. All the new places in the city are tired versions of stuff that have been around for a long time in places like where I’m from, Paris, France.
Just so you know, if you are not a smoker it will be hard to stand the heavy cigarette ambiance, you need to remember that.
