Cain's Ballroom is a historic music venue in Tulsa, Oklahoma that was built in 1924 as a garage for W. Tate Brady's automobiles. Madison W. "Daddy" Cain purchased the building in 1930 and named it Cain's Dance Academy, where he charged ten cents for dance lessons.

One of my favorite places in the Tulsa area! you can see everything at this venue from country music, rock and roll, hip hop and any genre you can think of. There isn't a bad spot in the house. Line's to the bars are always short and speedy. Pricing is the best at a concert venue! Now that they have a restaurant attached makes it even better. Bathrooms can be a little sketchy, but they show a lot of history. Parking can be hard to come by since it is located in the heart of downtown. Typically they're paid areas around. It is handicap accessible.

This is a legendary concert venue in the heart of Tulsa. It's basically a giant general admission area with a good size stage at the front. You can also get tickets to the mezzanine if you wanna feel classy. There's a couple of bars here and a good outside space. There's also a lot to do around here too for when the show ends. Also it's a pretty small venue, probably 500 to 1000 people
