Come by for Power Hour every Friday during the school year from 4 to 6 p.m. or show up to Two Dollar Tuesday for $2 beer the first two hours. Logie\u2019s sports-bar energy is always on point for the college student and offers an upper-deck patio, smoke room and multiple TVs usually playing ongoing sporting events.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\" dir=\"ltr\"><strong>The Porch |\u00a0311 W. Boyd St.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" dir=\"ltr\">The Porch offers a rooftop patio that gives an amazing view of OU. Co-owned by former OU football player Ryan Broyles, The Porch opened up in 2017 and quickly attracted OU students and alums. The Porch bar also hosts Thirsty Thursday, which offers $6 beer pitchers for a wallet-friendly night out. It&#8217;s an essential spot to hit up if you&#8217;re out bar-hopping with friends.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\" dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Heist |\u00a0750 Asp Ave.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Heist is nestled in the heart of Campus Corner. This dance\/night club offers a unique vibe compared to the other traditional bar settings. If you like to dance, this is your place to bust some moves, with rotating DJs and high-energy music. Heist makes sure you have a fully immersed dance and music experience with smoke and fog machines firing at the beat drops or to the beat of the song.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"tncms-region-article_instory_bottom\" class=\"tncms-region hidden-print\">\n<div id=\"tncms-block-2064617\" class=\"tncms-block\">\n<p><b>Commenting policy: <\/b>We value civility and do not tolerate the spreading of misinformation or degrading posts on topics like race, religion or culture.
