“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.“

“Smelled so clean, staff was amazingly inviting and not bothersome at all, the food was more than delicious, and the prices were very fair!

We will definitely be back many times!“

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.“

“Hi Eddie, I wanted to share some feedback as a long-time regular customer. I’ve been visiting your restaurant and bar for about eight years now—usually at least once a week—and I’ve always appreciated the great service and quality beverages. The bar staff is consistently attentive and friendly, which keeps me coming back. However, I’ve recently had an ongoing issue with the ribeye steak. This is now the third time I’ve ordered it and found that nearly half of the 14 oz portion was made up of fat. It’s very disappointing, especially given the high standards your restaurant typically upholds. It seems the quality of meat being purchased may not be matching the premium standard that you advertise. I’ve enjoyed nearly every other entrée on your menu over the years, and they’ve always been excellent. That’s why I wanted to reach out directly rather than just stop ordering. I hope you’ll take a look into the current ribeye meat supplier or cuts being used. It might even help to have a mystery customer order one so you can see firsthand what’s being served. I’ve attached a picture showing the amount of fat from my last steak for reference. I really hope this can be addressed—I’d love to feel confident ordering a steak at your restaurant again. Thank you for your time and attention, Edward Martinez“

“Addi was fantastic! We loved her as our server! She made it fun!!! The food was really good as well!“

“Great food, and friendly staff you need to check it out if you haven’t already.“

“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!“

“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.

“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. 🤍“

“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!“

“I visited this location recently and was very pleased to be served by Kendell. I have many food restrictions and the kitchen did a great job with them. Kendall was attentive and went above and beyond with everyone in my party. Will definitely be back and request Kendell again.“

“Best Mexican restaurant in town. Highly recommend the chile rellenos.“

“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.“
