The County Line

The County Line BBQ, located at 1226 NE 63rd, in Oklahoma City, is a local legend. It's not just because they serve some of the best BBQ, either. The County Line restaurant is in a building (constructed in either the late 1920s or early 1930s) once known as the Kentucky Club. The Club was a prohibition era "speakeasy." Basically, a customer could find just about any vice they wanted, be it drinks, gambling, or "other activities" that we'll leave to your imagination.

All of the information I could find (so far) on the subject states that famous outlaw Pretty Boy Floyd frequented the club, as well as some other famous Oklahomans. The building has been preserved nicely, and it seems to be in good shape. Walking in, I can't help but get a feel of those old days. 1940s music is always coming out of the speakers, and the restaurant is decorated much like it would have been in times past.

So, if you're ever in the area, and want some great BBQ with your history, drop by the County Line. You never know who you'll see. Some of the workers seem to think some of the old visitors still drop by.
