OKLAHOMA CITY, OK — Skydance Brewing Co. is growing in Automobile Alley, expanding into the adjacent to the space previously known as Suite B and further investing in its vision for a craft beer centered experience in Oklahoma City.
The Native-owned brewery will add approximately 2,000 square feet plus an enclosed patio, combining both spaces into one cohesive taproom. The expansion is expected to launch in late March or early April.
While Skydance is introducing a full kitchen and an expanded beverage program, craft beer remains at the heart of the business.
At the center of the new space will be an upscale evolution of Skydance’s popular Eagles Nest concept, currently located in the mezzanine of the taproom. The reimagined Eagles Nest will offer a refined lounge atmosphere that enhances the overall brewery experience while maintaining the welcoming, community-driven feel Skydance is known for.
The new kitchen will feature smash burgers, Native-inspired dishes and shareables crafted to pair intentionally with Skydance’s beers and broader beverage offerings. The added space will also allow Skydance to transition to a brewpub license and secure a mixed beverage license, introducing a curated cocktail program and an elevated selection of bourbon and tequila designed to complement the brewery’s craft focus.
“From day one, our focus has been on customer service and creating meaningful experiences for our guests,” said Bobbi Keyes, co-founder and business partner. “Beer brings people in, but how they feel when they’re here is what brings them back. This expansion allows us to elevate every part of that experience while keeping craft beer at the heart of who we are.”
Founder Jake Keyes says the expansion reflects the continued evolution of craft brewing and what today’s guests expect from their local brewery.
“This expansion is about strengthening the craft beer experience,” said Jake Keyes, Founder of Skydance Brewing Co. “I believe the future of craft beer is about creating experiences beyond just making local beer. Just having beer made in Oklahoma is no longer enough. We have to give customers more reason to visit us, so we are expanding what we offer. Moving forward, I believe a brewery needs to provide more than just beer if it wants to deliver an elite experience and level of service.”
By combining both suites into one unified space, Skydance will increase seating capacity, improve flow throughout the building and eliminate the confusion that previously came with two separate businesses sharing the same patio. The result will be one seamless Skydance experience centered on craft beer, hospitality and thoughtful service.
The announcement comes as Skydance prepares to open its second location in Midwest City in less than a month. That location will feature beer, wine and food service, but will not offer liquor.
Founded in 2018 at The Brewers Union co-op brewery, Skydance opened its dedicated Automobile Alley taproom in 2021 and has since become a respected part of Oklahoma City’s craft beer community. Skydance Brewing Co. is a Native-owned business. Founder Jake Keyes serves as Chairman of the Iowa Tribe of Oklahoma, and Bobbi Keyes, co-founder and business partner, is a citizen of the Muscogee Creek Nation.
Additional details about menus and opening events will be announced soon.
