Entry No. 2 — the Oklahoma City file — filed under: speakeasy
Lunar Lounge
A celestial-themed cocktail hideaway tucked inside an unassuming office building in Midtown Plaza Court, from the team behind Barkeep. There's no obvious door, just a moon-shaped button or knob on the hallway wall that you press to slip inside a dark, disco-ball-and-laser den.
The story
The Midtown Plaza Court building has been sitting at 1114 Classen Drive since the 1920s, complete with National Register pedigree and classic wood-paneled interior corridors. Most people slip inside to hit McNellie's or stroll right back out to Classen, totally unaware that one section of hallway wall hides a secret release.
Built by the team behind OKC's Barkeep shop and bar, Lunar Lounge operates under a simple ethos: serious cocktails not taken too seriously. Rather than going for another dim, leather-bound Prohibition trope, they leaned hard into retro-futurism—a dark, atmospheric dive back into mid-century sci-fi aesthetics, complete with low laser lights and a disco ball reflecting off dark surfaces.
To get in, you have to ignore the street-facing storefronts, wander deep into the building's central interior hallway, and locate a small wall panel with a moon-shaped button. Press it, step through as the wall gives way, and you're instantly cut off from the quiet office corridor outside.
What it's like
Head straight into the wood-lined interior hall of Plaza Court rather than hunting for a street entrance. Look for the small Lunar Lounge sign and press the moon button set into the wall to trigger the doorway. Inside, you'll drop into a dark room lit by lasers, disco reflections, and glowing drinks. It fills up quickly on weekend nights, so slide in on a weeknight or early evening if you want a seat without waiting in the hallway. Keep in mind it is strictly 21+.
The move: Wander the wood-paneled Plaza Court hallway pretending you're lost, then make your partner be the one to find and press the secret moon button before you disappear into the spacey lounge for cocktails.
📍 Before you go It sits inside the Plaza Court building at 1100 Classen Drive, a restored 1920s structure on the National Register of Historic Places, so head for the wood-lined interior hallway rather than any street-facing storefront. Spotting the small Lunar Lounge sign first makes the unmarked moon button much easier to find. This is an evenings-only spot, best treated as a night-out destination; weekend nights draw the biggest crowd, and it can fill up, so consider arriving early or checking ahead about reservations. The same building holds McNellie's Irish Pub, and Fassler Hall plus walkable Midtown bars sit just outside for an easy before-or-after pairing.
