Still waiting for Yelp to let us include half stars -- so 3.5 stars for this venue! I agree with another reviewer who referred to this as an upscale dive bar. The sound system was excellent (I'd suggest sitting farther back of intense noise is an issue for you). The band we saw was an 80s tribute band whose name I can't remember, but they were awesome. We didn't have any food, so I can't offer thoughts on that -- I will say that the non-beer selection of hard alcohol was super limited. I'm a bourbon person and I think there was Jack Daniel's and Maker's and that's about it. Not sure about other types of alcohol. For an entertainment spot, though, definitely 4 stars. Look forward to returning the next time I'm in Tulsa! read more

Great small venue to be close to the performers, as any spot you are seated or standing is good. Tickets were very budget friendly for the show we saw, and we had a great time! read more

Just a regular rugged bar. The sound system was great for the musicians as the lights gave the stage a big energy feel. The bar long enough that no one has to push through the crowd get to it. The bartenders were nice, a regular red solo cup sized mixed drink was $10. The stools were extremely uncomfortable for a 3 or 4 hour show, the long table we sat at was either loose or was not bolted down, it kept tilting when someone old sit at it and lean on it. There were some tables with stools and stools that ran along the bar so there were a good amount of seats for people with a clear view of the stage. The tables weren't too clustered so people could move around and get to the bar or the bathroom. The bathrooms were in the south side of the building opposite of the stage. read more

Bartenders were nice and attentive, the place was clean, music was good. Women's bathroom seemed a little run down and needs some love but overall had a good time! read more

First time here, had our benefit here for veterans here and its kewl spot. The staff is engaging, prompt to get your drinks even though it's busy. Nice stage for bands to play, clean restrooms and a kewl patio to get some fresh air if needed. Check this place out. read more

Saturday night I went to the Shrine for the first time. It has that dive bar feel, but not tacky or trashy. Maybe I would describe it as an upscale dive bar. Which seems strange, but it's the best I can use to describe it. I liked it a lot. But I digress. The band playing Saturday was Let's Zeppelin, obviously a Led Zeppelin tribute band. The band was great! They even dressed the part. "Robert Plant" was wearing white platform shoes with goldfish in the heels. So, if this is the calibre of entertainment the Venue books, I will certainly be back. It was a great time. The bartenders were fast, courteous, and efficient. The beer was cold. Very cold. So, if you are looking for a comfortable dive bar with great entertainment, the Venue is the place! read more

Saw the Schwag do a Grateful Dead show here. Great space. Seems small from the outside but has plenty of space to sit or dance. Nice bartenders and staff. read more

Modern Design Good Layout Efficient Parking Good Sound/Lighting I was a little annoyed about the lack of web presence this establishment has, but a waiter told me that they had only been open for about a month and that it had replaced a nightclub that was nothing but a meat market. They remodeled, built a stage for bands and put some local art on the walls, not bad. It seems they lack marketing skills because the band we came to see, Gooding, typically has a large following and even the guy across the street didn't even know they were playing that night. There was about 75 people, mostly locals. The band that played before Gooding was a young band named "Bruce Flea" which was really good and even better since they were seniors in high school. They lacked a liquor selection, but had the basics and even a few top shelves available. They cited the city as a hurdle to this issue, but not sure how that affects selection. Bar tender was cool and the prices were very affordable. Sound and lighting was really good. The stage was high enough so that the whole band could be seen from anywhere in the room, which I always appreciate. I think Afroman played there the week before. He still tours? read more

Very rude service. At a concert held at the shrine, underage people were there. Security and staff were extremely rude to younger patrons. Don't go here I repeat do not go here they have awful service read more

I've been here a few times, it's ok. nothing spectacular about it but they do have a venue that brings nice shows from time to time, especially for locals. there's not much to say about this place. read more

A nice concert venue. Went to see my favorite band ( Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers) here. Can't say I had much experience with the staff or service as I didn't drink. The place was clean and uniquely decorated. I enjoyed the show and the venue. Would have no problem see another show here. read more

Great dive bar! Great space for an event! Had a meet and grey with the Roughneck soccer team. The bar was very easy to work with and the space was perfect! We had a few hundred people and people weren't on top of each other. They have a huge stage so I can see the space being a perfect weekend music venue. read more

I've only been once and it wasn't for a concert. I liked the space and location. $4 for a Bud Lite was kinda pricey but I was able to order quickly. $10 minimum to use your card is a big drawl back. read more

Great dive bar. Very friendly staff and owner. Good music and laid back atmosphere. Good place to hang out if your staying out late. Excellent beer selection. read more

I'm glad to see Tulsa has another legitimate music venue for local and some touring artists.

Been here once, my second favorite venue, only behind the legendary Cains. Big bar many friendly bartenders. Security is friendly, which is rare! Plenty of parking. Nice outdoor patio. Nitpick when i saw afroman it was packed by the stage and they had a lot of tables people kept tripping over. Small stage. Bathrooms a little scary. I would.go back again. ps tickets here are very cheap. read more
