Bixby Knolls Supper Club
The Bixby Knolls Supper Club meets the first Monday of the month. Monday nights are typically a slow night for restaurants so it’s a great way to get people together and put the bodies in the seats and help support our local restaurants.
Bixby Knolls Supper Club is the simple concept of supporting our local restaurants on a Monday night which is typically a slow night. We come together to meet and eat and support the local economy.
