Where to Eat, Play and Chill in OKC: The Joinery

Lauren: Hi friends.

Dad: Hello again.

Lauren: Dad and I tried something new.

Dad: Yes.

Lauren: Again.

Dad: Yes, yes.

Lauren: We came downtown before seeing Tootsie. That's our next stop. Tonight we are trying the Joinery on Sheridan.

Dad: Yes.

Lauren: And it's so fun okay, so it's the old Tap Works building, and on the ground floor they have a restaurant.

Dad: Check.

Lauren: Phenomenal food.

Dad: Wonderful.

Lauren: We got the fish and chips and we got-

Dad: And the salad.

Lauren: Yes.

Dad: Special salad.

Lauren: They have a really fun fall menu right now. And so we got a salad with goat cheese and walnuts and pomegranate. It was yummy. And we ordered the short rib?

Dad: Short ribs.

Lauren: So good. It's a must.

Dad: For sure, the number one thing.

Lauren: Yeah. Everybody said you can't leave without getting the short ribs. So it has all these onions, fried onions on top, and goat cheese ravioli. I mean, it was... And mushrooms.

Dad: Just wonderful.

Lauren: It was so rich and delicious. A little goes a long way.

Dad: Yeah.

Lauren: And downstairs they have a speakeasy.

Dad: Speakeasy.

Lauren: And the space is so cool. It's kind of dark and moody, and you definitely need to go down there. And then there is the third floor.

Dad: Third floor.

Lauren: That is golf, indoors. I kind of love that it's 72 degrees-

Dad: Much better.

Lauren: Year-round, they said. Really cool if you're a golfer.

Dad: Yeah.

Lauren: And 

Dad: It'll tell you how far you hit the ball.

Lauren: Yeah.

Dad: I don't know anything about golf.

Lauren: All these statistics.

Dad: Yeah.

Lauren: We got to watch Shawn.

Dad: Yeah. Oh, Shawn demonstrated how the golf simulator works!

Lauren: He swung-

Dad: Upstairs. The second... Third Floor.

Lauren: Third floor.

Dad: I'm losing track of floors. Third the floor guy.

Lauren: The top floor is event space.

Dad: Is the event space? So, if you have an event, they have a space.

Lauren: You need to go. So, they said you can open one tab for the whole night.

Dad: That's right.

Lauren: Come play golf for a couple of hours.

Dad: Go downstairs.

Lauren: Go to the speakeasy for drinks at the end. So-

Dad: Yeah. Always fun.

Lauren: What a fun addition.

Dad: Don't have to... You just keep the same tab. They know. Just say, "Hey, this is Bill," and yeah, "That's okay. We got you."

Lauren: Yeah. And we got two celebrity appearances from Kristen and Bryce, the owners. They're here tonight, so we got to say hello. So this is another one of their Community Through Beer concepts. And we agree. We think it's awesome. Well done!
