Bricktown, Historic district in Oklahoma City, United States
Bricktown is a historic district east of downtown Oklahoma City featuring brick-paved streets and restored industrial-era buildings. Today it houses restaurants, shops, art galleries, and entertainment venues spread across numerous blocks.
The district grew during the industrial era as a manufacturing and warehouse center for Oklahoma City. After decades of decline following major economic shifts, a major revival in the 1990s transformed it into a modern entertainment and commerce destination.
The neighborhood takes its name from the brick kilns that operated here in the late 1800s. You can still see this heritage in the red brick structures that define the streets and buildings throughout the district.
The district is easily walkable and well marked, with most restaurants and shops open in the evenings. A streetcar line connects the area to downtown, making it easy to explore without a car.
A canal about a mile long runs through the district, offering boat tours where visitors can discover the city's history and local artworks along the waterway. This unexpected waterway creates a calm break in the urban setting.
