Coyote Ugly headed for OKC's Bricktown

The Coyote Ugly Saloon, a chain featuring dancing female bartenders, is planned for Oklahoma City's Bricktown entertainment district.

Brad Baker of NAI Sullivan Group, a commercial real estate company, helped the business find a spot for its first Oklahoma locations. The saloon is expected to open in six months in the Miller Jackson building.

He said the Oklahoma City Thunder NBA franchise helped sway the company decide to open a bar in this area.

Coyote Ugly Saloon was started in New York City in 1993 by Liliana Lovell. The bar spawned a motion picture in 2000 and a reality television show on Country Music Television. The company has 13 saloons around the country.

Baker said the space lent itself to the saloon's specifications, which include high ceilings to give the sometimes scantily clad bartenders room to dance on the bar.
