Yes, unfortunately, Broke Brewing Company announced that it will be closing soon. The local favorite at 3810 N. Tulsa Ave has been a cozy spot for beer lovers for over 5 years.

Did On The Border close its Oklahoma City location?
The Northwest Expressway location of On The Border Mexican Grill & Cantina has closed without warning. The closure happened on February 25, and the restaurant is no longer listed on the company’s official website. While it is part of a larger Tex-Mex chain, this location had its own local fan base, and many were surprised by the sudden shutdown.
Is Syrup. breakfast spot closing permanently?
Yes, and this one hits especially hard for brunch lovers. Syrup., a breakfast and coffee favorite with locations in both Norman and Oklahoma City, is officially closing on Monday, January 20.
In an emotional social media post, the owners wrote:
“After 13 years of Syrup opening its doors to Norman and 7 years to OKC, we will be closing permanently… We will miss you…”
The post also thanked customers for sharing their special moments—from casual breakfasts to celebrations.
