The Paramount

I have been to the Paramount many times but usually to different parties. The space is huge and it gave me a nostalgic feeling about being at house parties on the southside of Chicago as the setup looks like a brownstone or old apartment building in one of those neighborhoods. The location is pretty good as well because it kinda midtown but bricktown at the same time. All in all, I will definitely visit and do events here.

Melody and staff are kind and helpful. Their breakfast selection includes lots of healthy options, too!

Really enjoy this atmosphere! Have only been a couple of times. Both times were a Friday night with great live music and no cover. Had a piece of pie the first night that was delicious and wine the second time. The atmosphere is eclectic and laid back. Varied patrons were there from hipsters to senior citizens. I love the free juke box and piano with a sign asking to be played. Can’t wait to go again and check out karoake night.

The Paramount is wonderful! I went last night to see a live performance of The Complete Works of Shakespeare [Abridged] performed by OK Shakespeare in the Park (they are holding more performances at the Paseo location and you should definitely see it because it’s hilarious!). Anyway, the Paramount is awesome. We arrived about an hour before show time to have a drink and chat. The barista/​bartender told us she was getting really good at making Moscow Mules, so we decided to take her up on that– and she was right! The drinks came in pint size mason jars and were around $ 5.50 each, which is more than fair. As others have said, beer and wine are available, as well as traditional coffee shop offerings, including different types of snacks. They also have a popcorn machine that seems to be in constant operation! Just glancing at the menu and pricing, it all seems really affordable, making this a place where you could hang out for awhile. And hang out is exactly what it seems like the Paramount wants folks to do. There are film screenings, live music (last night, there was a live music performance in the café during the play!), open mic, etc. etc. There was what I think was a writing or screen writing workshop taking place when we arrived. My takeaway is this: The Paramount feels alive with community, is buzzing with activity, and is super cool.

Film Row so needed a little coffee shop, but it’s even better that the Paramount is so much more than a coffee shop. With wine and beer, a nice little food menu, and delicious Pie Junkie pies, this little spot can take care of many different needs. For an area that is growing with new office workers more quickly than small businesses can open to address their needs, it’s great Paramount does more than just serve a good cuppa joe.
I stopped in last week to do a bit of work and then have a meeting. We split a piece of coconut cream pie (my favorite) and I had a very delicious soy latte. I also love that they support the other local film row businesses, for example, by playing KOSU in the shop.
It was a great place to get some work done and have a meeting, and it’s proximity to downtown makes it a really nice place for meetings with downtown dwellers, without having to mess with downtown parking.

Absolutely love this place. My sister & I played there last Friday night, it was the first time I had been there. When we entered, there was a book reading about to begin in the theater – a great crowd and sweet ladies greeted us at the door. We made our way into the café (where they host live music) and found a cozy & eclectic spot that offered food, coffee, wine & beer. Helen is the nicest person, she was there the entire night & helped us with everything we needed. Her staff was excellent and the overall experience was so positive. We look forward to returning in September to perform again, and in the meantime, we will return to enjoy their many events such as improv, poetry readings, spoken word, comedy night, karaōke, etc!

One of my favorite spaces in OKC. The staff is all super friendly and welcoming and you can get wine, coffee, beer or Pie Junkie pies! It is a great place to meet with friends or groups, or to just come sit and read or work.

This was my first time coming here and I really enjoyed myself. We got some sandwiches before the show – I got a grilled cheese which I thought was pretty good. Nice little arrangement in the theatre. I liked it and I shall be back. Nice spot to have in the city. Also I would like to point out because I must – Film Row is not a thing. It’s a creation without a creation myth. I like the city improving but let’s stop labelling things that don’t have labels.

This is such a cool space and perfect for Film Row. I had previously been to The Paramount during the monthly Friday night street party Première on Film Row but only to use their restroom and cut through to get from one place to another. I didn’t stick around long enough to hear the standup comedy they usually have in their screening room during those events. I loved the classic movie décor and the fact that their café sells pieces of pie from PieJunkie so I knew I had to attend an event there some day.
That day was this past Thursday for the 2^nd Thursday at the Paramount Kyle Dillingham & Horseshoe Road concert. I found out about this event from the Downtown OKC Inc newsletter and thought I would give it a try. I bought my ticket for the concert online for less than $ 20. I could have paid more to sit up front on one of the couches or more comfortable chairs but decided to go for the less expensive option of sitting in the traditional movie screening chairs. The chairs were authentic which means the wood back and hard seats were not the most comfortable for very long. That happens to be the only reason I gave them 4 stars instead of 5 but I guess that was actually my fault for choosing the cheaper tickets. The other reason I wanted to sit further away is that, even though this was an acoustic concert, there was a main microphone that amplified the sound. As my hard of hearing husband likes to say, I have supersensitive hearing. I just think I have normal, undamaged hearing and would like to keep it that way. Although I did have to resort to using my high-​fidelity ear plugs after other patrons requested that the volume be turned up, I still found The Paramount to be a great place for intimate concerts since there was only space for fewer than 100 people.
The concert started at 7 pm but the doors opened at 6 pm and there was free parking in the parking lot on the west side of the building. I arrived early enough to head to the café first and have a piece of Peach Blueberry Crumble pie. I had not tried that one yet but it was delicious and all the workers in the café were very helpful and friendly. As Marek mentioned, you can take your food and beverages into the theater and many people did. I did not realize that the concert would last until almost 10 pm but they took a break at 8:30 and everyone headed to the restrooms and to the café for refreshments. I enjoyed my concert experience very much. The Paramount has all kinds of events and lots different movies scheduled. I will definitely be returning to sample more (and eat more pie)!

Love this concept! They serve pies from Pie Junkie too! Good wine and beer selection. The customer service is amazing — you feel at home there.
My group only went for desserts. We are going back for dinner, wine and a movie and/​or breakfast really soon. Can not go wrong with Pie Junkie Pies but they also have a DELICIOUS dessert smoothie called the frozen hot chocolate. It is magical chocolate in your mouth.
They offer live music and movies in their theater. You can smell the movie popcorn when you walk in too… yummy. Love jewels like this in Oklahoma City!

Great sandwiches! Try the Paramount Pie ! It’s «paramount «. Very nice atmosphere super friendly, they will adjust the grill menu to suit your taste or diet. Very nice wine list. Perfect venue for live music.

One of my favorite spaces in Oklahoma City! It has a fantastic café with Pie Junkie pies and AAA Root Beer. They also serve sandwiches, chips, candy and beer. You can take all of it into the theater.
They also have a great collection of movies they show on the weekends and in the evenings. With traditional theater seating in the back and a couches up front, it’s a great setting!
