One of the best spots to have a drink—anywhere in the world. And I’m not just saying that because it’s in my hometown. I’ve been to thousands of bars and lounges across the world, and The Vault easily ranks among the coolest. The vibe, the theme, and the atmosphere are all exceptional.

I’m so glad they reopened this place. It’s a true gem in OKC and an absolute must-visit for anyone who appreciates great cocktails and unforgettable ambiance.

My wife and I went both nights while we were staying at the hotel close by.

The drinks were very good and thoughtfully made. I also loved the glassware. It honestly made me want to upgrade what we have at home.

The vibe was exactly what you want from a place like this. It felt upscale but still comfortable. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better.

We ordered the deviled eggs and they were excellent. I was skeptical about the jalapeños at first, but they added a really good touch and balanced everything well.

Definitely a spot we would come back to.

A Hidden Gem at The National

I had the pleasure of visiting the speakeasy tucked away inside The National, and it was an unforgettable experience. The atmosphere effortlessly blends luxury with a modern, sleek design—making it the perfect setting for a memorable night out. The staff were absolutely delightful, adding a personal touch to the evening with their friendly and engaging demeanor.

As for the drinks, they were nothing short of spectacular. Crafted with precision and served with flair, each cocktail felt like a work of art. The vibe was relaxed yet sophisticated, offering the ideal balance of intimacy and class.

If you’re looking to truly impress a date or simply indulge in an exceptional night, this speakeasy is a must-visit. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a top-tier experience.

We were a group of four, and the lounge wasn’t overly busy. Two of us arrived at 7 pm, sat down, and waited about 15 minutes before anyone even came to take an order. The rest of us arrived shortly after and placed our drink order about 15 minutes later.

Our first round of drinks showed up 30 minutes after we arrived, just in time for us to head upstairs to our reservation at Tellers. It wasn’t chaotic, the bar wasn’t slammed, and the bartender wasn’t backed up. One person from our group even went to the bar to check on the drinks, and only then did our server suddenly say they were “on the way.”

When the drinks finally came, again, 30 minutes after we sat down, we explained we had to leave and asked for them to be taken off the bill. The server stared at us and literally walked away. A younger male server stepped in, asked what was going on, and tried to fix it. One of our group didn’t like her drink, and although we declined a remake, he insisted. Unfortunately, the second one tasted like soap.

We asked for a manager because our original server had told us we could take our drinks upstairs, only for someone else to tell us we couldn’t. The whole thing was a mess. We had planned to enjoy a cocktail before dinner, but with the long wait and lack of service, that never happened.

The manager, dressed in a bright purple or pink suit, was polite and ultimately made it right. But the overall experience was so poor that we won’t be returning, and I honestly can’t recommend this place to anyone. Some people thrive in the service industry, and some clearly don’t. Unfortunately, our server and the bartender fell into the latter category!

I love the atmosphere here! Music was great. Plenty of comfy places to sit and relax. It’s a neat experience in terms of the history and I love how they were able to keep some original elements such as the vault door and a portion of the sage deposit boxes. Super cute decor for Christmas!

The servers were kind, they were just a little over worked. I think there may have only been 2 of them for the entire bar.

Lastly… our drinks were great! However I thought the Holiday menu was very strange.. squid ink, lots of eggs, shrub, etc.

I’d definitely return! So fun!

This place is really cool and the wait staff were great, once they actually got to us, which took us 10 minutes of just sitting there before someone noticed we were there. The drinks are delicious but over-priced for sure. If you just want some decent priced drinks, this is t the spot.

Fantastic experience all-around, very cool ambiance as it is literally hosted in the old bank’s vault! Food is very expensive and flavorful, the drinks are somewhat reasonable but still $15+ per cocktail.
Highly recommend the charcuterie board.

Great to experience at least once – definitely come by if you’re in the area! Staff are also lovely.
