First let me say, I love Cain's. Been there for many great concerts/parties. Tulsa classic. But we…read morewere VERY disappointed with the Day Shift Party. It is advertised as '80's, 90's and 00's music. We were there for over an hour and every single song was rap from 00's. Such a let-down for 50 year olds looking forward to an evening out. I truly do hope all the 30 year olds enjoy it. But it was not as advertised.

Their Christmas play is coming up next weekend and they're doing the Velveteen Rabbit and Pollyanna next year! The Drunkard & The Olio is the historic and longest-running play in the U.S. It started in 1953 and has never stopped. Performances are on Saturdays at 7:30pm. It's an interactive play with lots of audience engagement. The building itself is and feels historic. It's easy to notice on riverside due to its white and tall facade. I reached out to them about doing a private event and Lauren, their operations manager was extremely helpful. She graciously scheduled a time to give me a tour of the space and shared all sorts of great history facts about the space. I believe they'll be launching an campaign to raise funds for renovations, which is exciting! A group of very dedicated volunteers makes all the magic happen. I'm excited about what's to come for this organization!

I highly recommend this place if you want to have an evening of fun and feel like a kid again. My…read morehusband and I went there not knowing what to expect. When we learned they have the same play all the time, we didn't think we'd go back after seeing it once. We plan to go back many times. It's not a play in which the plot is important. It's an experience. It's a perfect play to give the audience that kind of experience. Why change it. I want to take my grandchildren there. We can be kids again with them. You laugh, you sing, cheer, you boo, and you throw tomatoes at the villain. We loved it and will return.

It was nice that it was all ages but the way had a bar serving drinks (if you had your ID) and soft drinks for under ages. The sound of the concert was great! It wasn't blow your ears out but you still felt rocked. As far as I could tell in the dark, the place was as clean as it could be and there was plenty of trash and the bathroom was easily accessible. Would love to come to another show here.

Formerly known as "AHHA" (Arts and Humanities Council of Tulsa) the Hardesty Arts building has been there since 2013. In 2022, AHHA closed and in 2023, the building and Mayfest were acquired by The University of Tulsa. Now, it's the headquarters for TU's Oklahoma Center for the Humanities, Mayfest, Switchyard magazine, and the college of arts entertainment program. Its new name is 101 Archer, or TU 101. The first floor is open Wednesdays through Saturdays from noon to 5pm and noon to 9pm the first Friday of each month for First Friday Art Crawl. It features rotating exhibitions and public programs produced by Oklahoma Center for the Humanities and others with free admission. It also serves as a great event venue. I've been to book launches, fundraisers, and weddings here. The outdoor balcony and the outdoor Zink Garden are beautiful. There's an event form you can fill out online to get more information. Street parking is available nearby, but expect to walk on weekends. Paid, covered parking is available in the North Garage located on N Boston Avenue between First and Archer streets, just north of the BOK/Williams Tower.

Great atmosphere, love that it's a family owned restaurant and his granddaughter is a sommelier and does the pairings. Took my husband for his birthday dinner and can't wait to come back for another one! Check their instagram for future pairings which are normally $50 on wednesdays, sometimes they'll add a second night on Thursdays and they also do paired brunches on Sundays. Great for date nights, celebrations or just an affordable fancy dinner. Can't wait to come back!
