Owl Court in Oklahoma City reopens as a Brew Brother coffee shop

The long-closed office building for the Owl Court, a former motel along Route 66 in Oklahoma City, recently reopened as a Brew Brother coffee shop.

KFOR-TV in Oklahoma City talked to Brew Brother owner Elijah Vick at 742 W. Britton Ave. (aka Route 66):

Elijah started his company Brew Brother in Seattle, and when he returned to his home state, was looking for a new roost. 
“I drove past this shop here at Britton and Classen, and I was like, yeah, this is perfect. I’m into history and I’m a history buff.” […]
“In hip-hop culture, there’s like, the remix, so you take old things and turn them into something new,” he said. 
Hip-hop is the inspiration for many of the Brew Brother’s best coffee concoctions, like the sweet potato pie latte and the Queen Latifah.   

Brew Brother also offers food from 2 Left Hand Veganz. It also is crowdsourcing a fundraiser on its website so it can add outdoor seating. One also can order items there, as well. It also got hobbled by a 13-day power outage after an ice storm a few weeks ago.

An ownership group acquired the Owl Court about 2 1/2 years ago. John Dunning previously bought the property in 2006 and had kept the long-neglected lot from deteriorating further.

According to the National Park Service, the Owl Court was built to serve travelers on the 1931 Route 66 bypass around Oklahoma City. The Owl Court complex operated a gas station, motel and cafe until the 1970s.

Brew Brother’s Facebook page is here. Below is a short video from its Instagram account that shows the Owl Court’s exterior and interior:

It’s open from Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
