Spinning yarns about Oklahoma Joe’s October 28, 2007

Johnny Mango at Duke City Fix shows a postcard of one of Albuquerque’s first barbecue joints, Oklahoma Joe’s, on Central Avenue (aka Route 66) near the University of New Mexico campus.
Mango said Okie Joe’s, later known as Okie’s, was known for 10-cent beer nights, with the brew served in paper cups. It was a popular imbibing spot for many years.
Okie’s is not there anymore; a convenience store took its place. But Duke City Fix wants to hear stories about it.
I spent alot of time in okie joe’s in the 70’s. Wildest most fun bar I have ever been in,or heard about.It was pure fun for a long while..I meet many people there who became life long friends.Ten cent beer and wine coolers. Everbody had a joint it seemed. Just stand at the bar and someone would pass you one. Hope to hear from some of you old dopers. Pepper Lewis
