Bricktown is a thriving renovated warehouse district just east of the Santa Fe tracks in Oklahoma City. Once a busy industrial district, it fell on hard times by the 1970s and was threatened with destruction. Over the next two decades, through the efforts of various developers and men of vision, the area evolved into what it is today: an exciting, active, fun place to eat and be entertained. It attracts travelers and locals alike, and is a family event.
The first main restaurant to open here was Spaghetti Warehouse in 1989, followed by many more restaurants, clubs and entertainment venues. A baseball park was completed in 1998 and is home to the Oklahoma City RedHawks, a Triple-A affiliate for the Houston Astros. The Bricktown Canal was built, which meanders through the area and offers boat rides.
Crabtown is a favorite of many. Located in a 20,000 sq. ft. renovated warehouse at 303 E. Sheridan, on the northeast corner of Sheridan and Vince Gill Avenue, it offers a full range of fish and seafood delights.
Crabtown specializes in the Cajun Crab Boil, served on butcher paper, right on your table. The atmosphere is dark, warehouse style, with nautical decorations, and small lights strung from the ceiling. When a crab boil is delivered to a table, a bell is tolled to announce that. Blues music is playing in the background, and you have the feeling you are eating on a pier somewhere. The waitstaff is very pleasant, and the food is ample and super good.
The second floor of the building is an event hall, which can be rented for various occasions and will hold up to 200 people.
