Born behind Bar-Key's bar.
Scissortail is a Bar-Key company. Patrick Wilson started bartending in 2017 during his undergraduate studies, spent years in banking, finance, and accounting, then earned his MBA from the University of Oklahoma in 2023 and launched Bar-Key Bartending in Oklahoma City.
Bar-Key is the full-service, white-glove side of the family. Scissortail exists because not every celebration wants that formality, and every celebration still deserves a beautiful bar. Same people, same care, same standards, with a simpler menu and a price built for real budgets.
We don't sell alcohol, ever. We pour it, dress it up, and take care of your people. That's the job, and we love it.
The faces you'll see behind the bar.
We promote the service and the people. Here are ours.

Four things we believe about your bar.
We're welcoming you to a celebration, not selling you a service.
Mocktails and dirty sodas matter as much as the cocktails. Everyone gets a beautiful glass.
Short, pretty, and plain. The moment is the special thing, we just pour for it.
Affordable is the quiet benefit. Joy is the headline.
