The Vault

A quick walk from the Hyatt before a concert at the BOK! We enjoyed the Brischetta trio and the shared the Pasta with Sausage. Both were great! The Prosecco and Maple Old Fashioned were also amazing!

Have you taken a cocktail class before? If you have, I'm sure it wasn't as entertaining and curated as The Vault's. I partook in the class on Thursday (Sept. 26th, 2024). I purchased my ticket with a friend who convinced me to tag along. As someone who can enjoy simple, straightforward experiences, I found myself highly captivated and immediately fulfilled with my visit.Though the offering is titled "cocktail class," no pens, paper or notes will be needed! The class presents as more of a show with a theme. As my first time (ever) in The Vault, I was shook by the instant allure of the design - large doors, tall glass windows, spacious seating area, ample natural lighting and modern fixtures. Upon entry, a host asks if I was here for the bartending class in which I was guided to a seat with my name affixed. Also at the seat was a short menu of the theme & drink menu. The bartender (from Virginia) was very attentive and nice the entire time. Upon being seated, I was immediately greeted and brought the gratuitous appetizer which was a skewered meats & vegetables, chocolate-covered strawberries, corn tortilla chips and chunky guacamole. I enjoyed all them individually and, as someone who normally does NOT eat guacamole, I thought it was delicious. The next bartender (Sylvia) was just as attentive and friendly.THEN THE SHOW BEGINS. Roughly 15mins after the arrival time, themed-entry music begins and a curly-haired woman by the name of Libby (the owner) pops out at the front of the restaurant. She welcomed everyone to the class, explained the theme and then goes into the making of each cocktail. Since the theme of the night was Musicals, she provided history of each musical and how it was crafted into a cocktail. She owns the crowd as she educates and displays how to make each item. She was well-versed in her knowledge of liquors of all varieties. After the pours, shakes and stirs, she cheers the crowd and walks off to applause. A true thespian.This cycle continued for the remainder of the evening. As the staff wearilessly fixed drinks and made orders, we were educated on Oklahoma!, Wicked, Hamilton and Mama Mia as we fell to the allure of ambiance, entertainment and intoxication. The owner was very involved in the production, presentation and service which was beyond impressive. I was overly delighted to have been apart of the experience. A mere $40 for four cocktails, entertainment and an appetizer is quite reasonable, it's no wonder why they sell out each show. I can't wait to visit again for lunch, dinner and especially another cocktail class. Plus, I'm always willing to support a fellow Hornet!

This is a go-to place for cocktails before we go to dinner somewhere else. I'm not sure why that really is.We've always had great bar service here. We tried the cheese fries and luckily the server suggested we add the Buffalo cauliflower on top. SOOOOO glad we took her advice. The fries would have been totally pedestrian without that addition.I tried the Ponzi Scheme and it was good. On the second round I decided to try the Gin & Jam. Again, upon the bartender's suggestion, I went with the apple-bacon jam. Totally interesting in a good way BUT know it is probably an acquired taste.

I love the brunch at this place. Every time we go the food is so good. There's so many great options and I enjoy it every time. The service is on point. The place is such a beautiful place to sit and look out all the glass at downtown. I love the vintage feel And it's just always a great time and great food.

The Vault is a female-owned eclectic downtown Tulsa eatery serving classic American eats and craft cocktails. Libby Billings is also the owner of Elote Cafe and Catering, located within walking distance of The Vault. The Vault is housed in the former First National Auto Bank building, and the eatery pays homage to its mid-century structural roots while telling a story of urban revitalization and modernization in its esthetics and menu. Customer service was exceptional, the staff was warm, welcoming, and field questions regarding the menu. Lunch came out extremely fast.I had the Cauliflower Wings, Lunch Combo with BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich and Autobank Salad, and the Mac & Cheese.The style of the Mac & Cheese is definitely a nod to the Mac & Cheese of the 60s and 70s, as it is not the baked version and has very fine breadcrumbs. While it was very creamy, I would have liked more flavor and I did miss the gooey baked cheese. I would return for the Cauliflower Wings. They are not shy on the hot sauce and are prepared in a way that you know you are eating cauliflower. If I were to be picky, I would ask my wings to be a little crispier. Green Goddess dressing is not my favorite dressing, but was an interesting choice of side sauce. The Autobank Salad looked great on the menu - who wouldn't love apples, strawberries, mint, basil, candied pecans and feta cheese? The salad needed a tangier dressing and I missed the mint and basil that was advertised on the menu. I liked the texture of the carrot-cauliflower slaw, but I was looking for more acidity in the slaw to balance out the sweetness of the BBQ sauce. The pork was solid but not memorable. I like the story behind The Vault and its vibe and would come back to try their cocktails and dessert.

My first time there on Saturday. I met friends and while one friend didn't care for her brunch item, mine was good! I wish the portion was just a bit larger

This is where we ate for our pre-show dinner before a TPAC performance. Very fun location with a true mid-century modern vibe. I ordered the Auto-Bank Salad which was delish. Hubs ordered the Vault Pasta w/Garbanzo Beans (or you can get it with sausage) and Grilled Shrimp on the side. Very delicate sauce on the pasta and veggies. Sublime! We ate in the 'Board Room' which was upstairs. There is outside seating on the balcony that surrounds that room, which I think would be wonderful, too. Yelp indicated there were two Vault locations. But the waiter assured me the building at 620 S Cincinnati is the ONLY one. We loved everything about this joint.

This location has its own parking lot. The building itself has a very cool design. We were seated quickly. We ordered some appetizers and cocktails. Oddly our food arrived before our drinks and we were pretty much done with the food before our drinks arrived, there were only a few other tables so it wasn't overtly busy. The fries were good. The cocktail names are a lot of fun, I got my first and only alimony payment. It was tasty but small for the price.

The food was excellent. The wait staff were so friendly and helpful without hovering. And the atmosphere was excellent.

Doren was so amazing!!! He made sure our glasses were full and recommended plenty of good options! Loved our time here
