Food and Drink Options

The Skirvin is home to Perle Mesta, a new dining experience from James Beard Award-winning Chef Andrew Black, offering upscale cuisine in a stylish setting. For something more casual, the on-site Red Piano Bar serves cocktails and small bites — perfect for a pre-show drink or nightcap. While there’s currently no 24/7 room service or late-night dining, you’re just blocks away from eateries in Bricktown, many of which stay open late. And yes, breakfast is available for those needing a slow start after a late night.

Nightlife Options

Start or end your night at the Red Piano Bar, where live music and a curated drink menu keep the vibe going even after the headliner leaves the stage. If you're looking to keep the party going, the nearby Bricktown district offers bars, clubs, and lounges with everything from craft beer to danceable beats.
