“Excellent wait staff and the food was amazing“

“Great selection of bourbon and scotch. If cigar pairings are your thing this place is for you. They offer a membership as well that is worth the cost. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable, their menu is unique and they have daily happy hour offers.“

“Had a great time celebrating my birthday with my family. Also I was surprised that this place was kid friendly and made eating with children easy. The waitress even brought out a toy box that had so many little toys the Christen got to pick from. We came on a very busy day so of course the area we sat at was a bit tight for our part lot of 8 but it still worked and was a great dining experience. For our first time there we enjoyed the service, food and atmosphere. I don't mind going again but maybe during the day before summer is over.“

“i had a blast with my dad here. we were a little out of the age bracket but no one made us feel like it. get the carnitas tacos and literally all the drinks. we had most. great job Palo!“

“I had the Pad Kee Mao and their spice level goes from 1–5. I initially ordered a level 4 because I love spicy food and usually don’t have an issue with heat. OMG. That level 4 humbled me. The spice was so overbearing that I couldn’t even enjoy the food. It was just constant heat on my tongue, almost like a tongue burn if that makes sense. I ended up asking to have it remade at a level 1, which they did with no problem.

If you like spicy food, I would honestly recommend starting at a level 2 and working your way up. Everyone’s spice tolerance is different, but I’ve tried plenty of spicy food around the city and nothing has really gotten me like this place did.

The food itself came out hot and freshly made, which I can always appreciate. For appetizers, I had the edamame and steamed gyoza. Edamame is always a good salty little snack for me. Next time I’d like to try one of their noodle dishes.

The drinks were good and Angel, the bartender, was great. Very attentive, good conversation and he was responsible for the music playlist and did his thang. I was actually surprised I ended up hanging out here for about 3–4 hours, but I was also socializing with other people at the bar and was enjoying myself.

I also love that they're open until 2AM, which is a rare find in this city. I’m giving it 5 stars based on the service and atmosphere alone. I would come back.“

“Good place to watch ball games“

“The food is awesome! All the staff is super friendly & helpful. Edmond location.“

“Good drinks and a great time!!!“

“Kat’s Tavern is hands down one of my favorite spots. Caroline and Sarah are absolute rock stars behind the bar. They know my drink, often have it ready before I even ask, and somehow manage to make everyone feel welcome no matter how busy it gets. They’re sweet, always smiling, full of great energy, and genuinely excellent at what they do. The rest of the ladies behind the bar are fantastic too.
Karaoke nights are always a blast, the dartboards and pool table keep things lively, and the back patio is perfect when you want some fresh air. The crowd is always an entertaining, eclectic mix of people, which is part of what gives Kat’s its personality.
I also really appreciate the security team. They do an excellent job and make it a place where you can relax, have fun, and feel safe.
Great drinks, great people, great atmosphere. Five stars, every time.“

We will definitely be back many times!“

“Was dead, but seemed like no one was working. Host ended up being our server and she was busy with other items. But tough to get refills, and tough to order, sat there forever to order. Maybe 8-10 people total there. Food was good just not same experience. Was disappointed but left full.“

“AMAZING experience. I cannot express that enough. They were so accommodating to our requests and flexible to our needs. The team was so helpful and so responsive to everything I needed and asked.

“My husband and I went last weekend and we were so impressed. We shared an appetizer, a wedge salad and the filet. The filet was delicious and could be cut with a fork. The bartenders encouraged us to come for Happy Hour and we did just that. Today we enjoyed a Liquid Lunch and a Jessica Rabbit, both were delicious and hit the spot! The bartenders are extremely friendly and knowledgeable! We have found our new watering hole!“

“Great service and very attentive staff. Four stars only because the food and drink quality could be better (taste), compared to other places we’ve been. It has a great vibe and good music. Will we return? 100% can’t wait to try something new on there menu.“

“Cousins is like home and the entire staff from day shift to night - are like family to us!! The food is hands down THE best you will find in any bar establishment and especially one that allows smoking. The expansive menu allows for anyone’s palate from the pickiest to the local booujie foodie!! Speaking of smoking - many non-smokers frequent Cousins and leave bragging about their ventilation system. They are truly inclusive of every patron slinging libations, great energy, and delicious comfort food to the OKC masses and tourists alike. Come on in and see many “Regulars” welcoming you to join the family - because Cousins is home. 🤍“

“My daughter chose this place for her wedding reception and we rented out the balcony and upstairs bar! It was A+++ service for an open bar with food orders for a group of approximately 50 people! They love this place so it was most excellent! The price was reasonable!“

“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.“

“Great experience with good food and the best service I’ve had in a long time. Our table was well taken cared for by Eddie. Definitely will be back.“

“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.“
