The staff is super friendly and attentive, and the drinks are always made right and served fast. You can tell they really care about customer service and making everyone feel welcome.

What really stands out is the vibe—karaoke nights are a blast, the crowd is always fun, and there’s plenty of space inside plus a great patio area. It’s clean, well-run, and just an all-around good time. 

If you’re looking for a laid-back spot with great drinks, music, and a friendly crowd, Kat’s Tavern is definitely the place to go. Highly recommend!“

“Smelled so clean, staff was amazingly inviting and not bothersome at all, the food was more than delicious, and the prices were very fair! The cherry on top was that our waitress asked US if we wanted drinks to go. We didnt have to ask her! ❤️ We did go on a Tuesday so Im not sure how they are with a busier crowd but we loved it. We will definitely be back many times!“

“We've had dinner there many times with zero complaints. Always great, so we thought we'd try brunch. I got the biscuits and gravy and she got the crepe breakfast burrito. The burrito was quite good, but recommend getting the syrup on the side so it doesn't over power the other ingredients. The biscuits were more like dumplings. I'm not sure if that's the goal or if they weren't cooked through on this particular morning. The gravy was thin and under seasoned for my taste. But I'm a southern boy, so I like my biscuits fluffy and buttery and my gravy thick and peppery. The fried pickle bloody mary was really good! The espresso martini tasted like chocolate milk that dreamt about espresso the night before. If you like the sweet Starbucks coffee drinks that pretend to be coffee, you'll love this martini. If you like a proper espresso martini, get the bloody mary. I'm not ranking the restaurant low because dinner is always phenomenal.“

“Amazing place and amazing staff! Highly recommend!!!“

“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Woodworks Distillery and their incredible team! We recently hosted our wedding there, and from start to finish, the experience was absolutely fantastic.

The venue itself is beautiful, unique, and full of character, creating the perfect atmosphere for our special day. The staff went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, and their kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail made us feel completely at ease throughout the entire process.

They were accommodating, responsive, and genuinely invested in making our wedding day memorable. Our guests are still talking about how amazing the venue was and how much fun they had.

We are so grateful to everyone at Woodworks Distillery for helping make our wedding day everything we hoped it would be and more. If you're looking for a venue with an incredible atmosphere and an outstanding team, we wholeheartedly recommend Woodworks Distillery!“

“The bar and restaurant are in the Aloft Hotel in Oklahoma City. The bartender, Megan, at the Wxyz, was fantastic. She was very friendly, service was great, and she went out of her way to assist me. Both the restaurant, Levithate, and the Chef were absolutely wonderful. Some of the best food I have had. I highly recommend choosing that restaurant and bar if you are in town.

Vegetarian options: They have a variety of healthy choices. Their grilled veggies are outstanding.

Dietary restrictions: Several choices are available.

Parking: Free if staying at hotel: not sure otherwise.

Wheelchair accessibility: Restaurant on main level with a ramp to the bar.“

“GTO Margarita made with ghost pepper infused tequila, Cointreau noire, lime, house-made sweet & sour, cucumber, and garnished with a jalapeño. This drink had a spicy kick & was very tasty!! Cucumber Cutie made with vodka, elderflower, lemon, de-seeded jalapeños, and cucumber. It wasn’t spicy but had just the right amount of jalapeño flavor. This drink was not too sweet, but amazingly refreshing. It’s one of those drinks that is dangerously delicious because you can’t taste the alcohol. Girl Scouts Alumni… Courage Confidence Character Made with vodka, vanilla espresso, coconut milk, caramel, and finished off with a chocolate rim coated in coconut flakes. This is the PERFECT dessert drink!! It was just the right amount of everything. Key Lime Pie Martini made with Absolute vanilla, lime, pineapple juice, coconut purée, finished off with a scoop of lime sorbet, and a graham cracker rim.“
