Great hole in the wall! My wife and I saw mike mcclure on our date night. It was amazing! The most laid back and calm show we had been to in decades. I guess my age is showing but I enjoyed seeing mike in a small venue where the music was not so loud. I don’t care for big concerts that are so loud the audience can’t hear the words. We will definitely go back. There is not a bad seat in the entire place. Roll your cooler in and enjoy the show!

What happened at the show I attended Friday, January 31, 2020 was a break down in trust and in public decency. In almost 20 years of seeing shows, I’ve never seen this kind of behavior from a venue owner. Music is a form of self expression, and an invitation to create community. When the owner of the venue stormed in from the back of the room and yelled during the introduction to the band's last song, “If you don’t start your song, I’m going to cut you off, I mean it” it mutes self expression and severs the invitation to create community. It was shocking to be surrounded by posters of old folkies who have paved the way with their stories, and hear the musicians be told afterward that they had not earned the right to talk on stage, among other insults of how bad their music was and how they weren’t even worth promoting the show for (they had booked 8 months in advance and the venue only posted them on the calendar page of the website 4 weeks before the show and never posted the bio they sent). Vague language about making phone calls in the ilk of “you’ll never work in this town again” was danced around. It was abuse of power. It was harassment. The outburst was broadcast ahead of time as the owner stormed around muttering and yelling while the opener played. We heard numerous times that “that’s just how he is.” People apologized on his behalf. It’s not a joke. It’s not a throwback to a funny antidote about cranky old white dudes and their unpredictable ways. It’s a toxic abuse cycle. And it was directed at two women who were taking up space during their allotted time. I know that there are articles written and accolades given to this venue which has spent a long time cultivating a liberal perspective in a conservative land. But it’s only lip service when the progress does not extend to the people playing on the stage. I don’t want any part of it. I will not be returning to this “esteemed venue” whose owner uses what should be a safe space to humiliate himself, the musicians, and the audience.

Great little quirky/hip venue. Loved it. Great music and the owner/manager has an ear for talent. Highly recommend.

A wonderful atmosphere for music lovers to enjoy great musicians in an intimate setting. Check your pretensions at the door. This is a relaxed, down-to-earth place. The Alicia Witt performance in May 2019 was among the most powerful, passionate and moving shows I've seen live. I believe a lot of it has to do with the love and mutual respect that Greg and this historic OKC venue supports. There is no concession stand for water or other drinks. It's a BYOB type of place.The feeling is akin to going to hang out at a friend's place to watch your favorite local talent perform. I walked in solo, but walked out having made new friends. That's the type of community a special venue like this provides.

I finally got to see Split Lip Rayfield, and I couldn't have caught them at a better venue! The little place felt like my old living room, although the Blue Door only held about 100 people. Folks chatted with the band between songs and shared drinks with them. Oh yeah, The Blue Door is a BYOB joint! Don't bother paying the extra dollar when you book your ticket for a physical ticket, since the guy at the door didn't hand them out. Bring a cooler! My parents visited here maybe ten years ago to see Arlo Guthrie, but my Dad had to leave because the mold was too bad for his lungs. I didn't notice anything this time.
