“Kats Tavern delivers a refined yet welcoming lounge experience in one of the city’s most prestigious areas near Nichols Hills. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels elevated and comfortable, with cozy couches that make it easy to settle in and enjoy conversation or unwind after a long day.

One of the standout features is their exceptional happy hour — $2 specials available until 7 PM — offering impressive value without sacrificing quality or ambiance. It’s rare to find pricing like that in such an elite part of town, making it an excellent choice for both casual meetups and polished after-work gatherings.

The venue strikes a perfect balance between upscale and approachable. Guests can enjoy a relaxed social setting with amenities like dart throwing, adding a touch of fun to an otherwise sophisticated environment. Service is attentive, the crowd is respectful, and the overall tone is comfortably upper-class without feeling pretentious.

Kats Tavern is a smart choice for those looking for a stylish, comfortable, and well-located spot to relax, connect, and enjoy a quality happy hour experience.“

“Highly recommend! Amazing vibe and great bar. Saturday brunch was delicious and locally grown. Owner is passionate and was super cool to my son, kid inclusive. Thankful they’ve made this place something special, as VZDs was such an Oklahoma City staple. Tevauri makes a mean old fashioned. 👌“

“Amazing place and amazing staff! 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!“

“Did a little happy dance as soon as we sat down! Our waiter was attentive, the food was delicious and the tunes were perfect! Will be definitely be going back!“

“Excellent food, great prices, and the vibe is so relaxed and chill. Had dinner with some girlfriends and this place was perfect. Fried cauliflower is amazing. The anchovy vinaigrette dressing on the local greens salad is my new obsession. We'll be back! Also great parking in a garage right next door. And I mean right next door.“

“Terrible management, getting any help from them is like pulling teeth. I will never be coming back here. Ending up with three different crazy charges on my card that make zero sense, and when trying to work with them on it, they either never call me back or when I try to call them all of their managers are gone for the day. EDIT: Although it took some calls, Woodworks got back to me and was able to iron everything out for me and was very respectful and polite. Will be coming back.“

“We had an elegant and entertaining birthday dinner. Chef-driven service is outstanding.“

The appetizers are great as well and the staff is incredible! Thanks again for another wonderful experience. 🥰“

“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. 🤍“

“Ask for “Cerra” (pronounced Sarah) - If you want a World-Class cocktail in OKC’s Airport. Good stuff!“

“I absolutely adored the vibe from the second my friends and I walked in! The outdoor area is just fantastic—so lively and inviting. The music really set the mood and made the experience even more enjoyable. The staff were truly wonderful and made us feel so welcome with all their accommodations. This place is definitely a gem!“

“Before the pandemic we had a little server that we went to up there at Ted's and she would come by and she would say isn't everything delicious does it everything tastes wonderful isn't it tasty she was awesome and she made the food tastes wonderful I guess because we did not agree with the food our server was great the food was not what we remember of course coming into Ted's we both said wouldn't it be wonderful if we could get that same experience we did not it had nothing to do with their service it was all about the food the food was substandard although we only paid for our drinks“

“Our waitress Elena was outstanding. I've been coming here for years and any time Elena is there I ask to sit in her section. The food is delicious, I always get the best Mexican tacos, and have been caught lacking my gauc plate clean. It's just so good. I wish there was a closer Yukon location.“

“Had a breakfast taco. Good stuff, Maynard.“

“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.“

“Great if you have time to wait. Food was great but the service was horrible.“

“Food is really good and you get plenty of it. Delicious coffee and even the decaf was good. Bacon cooked excellent. Service was fantastic. They gave us a complimentary cinnamon roll that was incredible. This place is on our favorites. They have vegetarian options. They have an open flame fireplace we sat by...it was so cozy!!!“

“It is entertaining and fun. Always pretty women there. The staff are very professional and polite. It is a good safe place to bring people from out of town.“

“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.“

“I had a wonderful experience and our server Jerry was tremendous! One of the owners was super gracious and did a tremendous job of making sure we had everything we needed.

The tacos were also very good, but the mezcal margaritas were to die for! Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Very fun & bright spirited women“

“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.“

“Rain was amazing!!! Such a sweet bartender, we were the only ones there and the chatter, the drinks, and everything made my bestie's 21st amazing. Thank you Thank you Thank you! Can't wait to come back on a weekend and dance !!! “

“Jerrica was fantastic. What a great personality and very knowledgeable about the menu.“

“Everything I’ve ever tried has been fantastic. The chicken fried steak is 🤤.“

“Great staff, Jabbrar was a treat to chat with and made our night a little more memorable. If you’re looking for a good old fashioned and a chill environment look no further.“

“Amazing food and drinks. Exceptional service and atmosphere!!! Our Waiter Tyler was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! Hats off to the Chef. Highly recommend checking this place out.“

“Love the other room! If you had to ask me my favorite part I’d have to say TOR up trivia on Sundays @7pm! Me and my mom always go when she comes to town and I’m always bringing my friends. Seriously, it’s such a good time all around. It’s become a Sunday night ritual!“

“It’s located in a hotel on the 7th floor, very niche and cool space however it does get crowded during the weekend, so I’d recommend going there during the weekday if you really to experience the small “upscale” dining. I’ve only really gone there for drinks but I think they have food but not too sure. They also do live music every Thursdays during a from 7-9pm so I would check that out.“
