Restaurants Near Tulsa Performing Arts Center: A Theatre-Night Dining Plan
Choose the hall on your ticket first, then pick dinner to suit: hotel dining at The Avery, sushi and Asian food at Yokozuna, Santa Fe cooking at La Tertulia, or Cajun and Creole dishes at Bourbon St. Cafe.
The Avery, Yokozuna, La Tertulia and Bourbon St. Cafe give you different meals along the wider Second Street area. Duet adds dinner and music in the Arts District, but its own event schedule may work better on another evening of your theater trip.

Work backward from your hall and curtain time
TPAC uses 3rd Street for Chapman Music Hall and 2nd Street for the Williams, Doenges and Norman theaters. Know which lobby you need before choosing where to eat.
Late-seating rules depend on the presenting organization. Tell the restaurant when you need to reach the lobby, and leave time to pay, walk over and find your seat.
Book the right restaurant and meal for your evening
La Tertulia has several menus, including one for children. For Yokozuna, use the downtown location when checking the menu or arranging a group meal.
Check Duet’s schedule before booking. Dinner, live music and reservation-only events run on different days, so it may work better as another evening out during your trip.
Check access and food options at the theater
If you need step-free access, ask about the restaurant entrance and check the full route to your TPAC hall. Confirm both parts of the journey before booking.
TPAC’s lobbies sell drinks and snacks if you want refreshments at the theater. For a meal at The Avery, check kitchen hours separately from bar service.
Keep the theater weekend coordinated
Match the dining reservation, hall entrance and accommodation before finalizing the evening. Use your event listing to check the performance.
