The Most Scrumptious Cocktail Bars in Tulsa

Theo's Fayetteville

★★★★☆ 4.1 (190) • $$$

"I couldn't wait to write this one.We haven't stopped talking about our experience we had last night. From the amazing food, (bones on toast, duck quesadilla, bass, filet mignon, and even the espresso Panna cotta) but also to the AMAZING service we received from Kelly. She was friendly, welcoming, and made us feel so comfortable about asking questions and exploring food we have never tried. Not only all of that but the ambiance and vibes you get there are PERFECT. Dark but not too dark, cozy and just so comfortable. We will be back for our special occasions! 15/10"

Toby Keiths I Love This Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.8 (68) • $$

"This Toby Keith restaurant lives up to the expectations of a legend! Warm reception at the front desk. Very great service and accommodation for families with young children.A good kids menu.I expected to see more local beer on draft but I may have just missed it."

Ted's Tacos and Cantina

★★★★☆ 3.7 (144) • $$

"Tried this place out tonight, it was great! Got a fajita chicken quesadilla with veggies, it was HUGE and great flavor! Also had the nashville hot tacos. Again, amazing flavor and they aren't lying when they say HOT! Meals come with chips, salsa, and queso. Chips were a little greasy for my liking, but likely meaning they are fresh. Service was good, and very clean restaurant. Ambiance is fun and lively, great patio! Will be back."

Empire Slice House - Edmond

★★★★☆ 4.2 (95) • $$

"Delicious New York style pizza!! You can get by the slice or whole. Staff was super friendly!!"

The Odd Soul

★★★★★ 4.6 (107) • $$

"This is one of the better pizzas in NWA. The crust is thin and crispy but not cracker-like. We tried the supreme and it wasn't buried in ingredients like many places; we could easily taste each topping.If you go here expect minimal service. You go to the bar to order, wait for your drinks, and then return to your seat. If you need silverware you need to go to the bar also. If you need refills on your drink you have to go back to the bar again. When it is time to pay you will not get a ticket, just go to the bar to pay. In other words your effort far out ways that of the staff. Not a single person spoke to me unless I asked for something.My biggest issue with the service was when the pizza was delivered the server never said a word but threw the pizza stand on the table and tossed the pizza on the stand, almost sliding into my lap.If the pizza wasn't so good I would have rated Odd Soul as a 2 star."

Hooker's Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.7 (34) • $$

"This place is a Diamond in the rough! Great food phenomenal service!! Such a great vibe to this place! You won't be disappointed I promise!"

Deem Laow

★★★★☆ 4.3 (23)

"Decided to swing by and try this place out after seeing enticing photos on IG! The inside is super cute and has great vibes. You feel like you're stepping into a cute tiki dive bar, while the outside is a boring shopping center strip. We had thought about eating next door, at Tana Thai, but the vibes there were COMPLETELY different. Like stepping into a hospital or something. So we decided to stay at Deem Laow for drinks and food. You are able to order food from next door as well, so we got a little of Deem Laow and Tana Thai food to try. From Deem Laow, we got the pork belly dish and the boat noodles. Both were okay, just over bearing on the hoisin sauce. From Tana Thai, we got the chicken larb and Tom yum soup. The larb was very bland tasting and when we asked for chopped chilies on the side, woooweee they were hot af. GD. I was expecting the Tom yum to come out on fire, like their IG post advertised, but alas, it came out in a plain Jane lil bowl. Food overall was just okay. Drinks were cute but a bit pricey. Service was incredibly slow and they neglected to get us silverware or drink orders. Would maybe go back for the ambiance and happy hour drinks!"

Agave Azul Cocina Mexicana

★★★★☆ 3.9 (92) • $$

"This is a great place for a party, small gathering, or something more intimate. The decor is beautiful and the murals are amazing. The staff is very friendly and attentive and even when it's super busy or super slow they make sure you have everything you need. The food is always delicious and fresh. I highly recommend trying it out! Especially with these decent prices!"

Lollipops Woodfire & Grocery

★★★★☆ 3.5 (15)

"We ate out on the new patio today and wow did they do a great job. Never disappoints. Staff is always great people. We enjoy our meal and visit with folks around us."

Gaskins On Emma

★★★★☆ 4.2 (21)

"What a gem of a restaurant tucked away downtown. Had the rib-eye, which was amazing. Even better was the peanut butter cheesecake. They could sell that stuff online and retire to a tropical island. Will definitely make a point of visiting again."

Docs Bar & Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (62)

"I have to up my review from my last visit. Service was super friendly from the start. We had a large party of nine and were seated pretty immediately. We ordered the pimento crab dip and it was really good. It's served with tortilla chips and after we ran out, our waitress did bring us some more without prompting. (Be aware that if you check in, you get a free app!)We ordered everything from burgers to salads to sandwiches and BBQ. (We did have one vegetarian in the crowd and know that there's not a lot of options here but she was able to piece something together.) Our drinks were refilled promptly.Food takes a while to get out here and we knew that going in. In fact, we had a few hours to kill before heading to the airport to drop off family. It's a great place to people watch or just take in the lake views. My meatloaf sandwich was excellent and I will order it again. Those that had the pulled pork weren't greatly impressed. The salads were devoured.Again, I do have to brag on our waitress who kept drinks filled, updated us on food status and was very friendly."

The Crain Lounge & Kitchen

★★★★★ 4.7 (20)

"Nice atmosphere at The Crain. They don't open until 2pm but they have great prices and food!"

Theopolis Social Club

★★★★☆ 4.2 (94)

"YUM! I was in town for a wedding and happened upon this chic spot for a late lunch. What a find! Inviting menu with many options I wish I could try. What a great spot for a date night or brunch. Highly recommend!"

East Village Bohemian Pizzeria

★★★★☆ 4.2 (277) • $$

"We came here at lunch for sandwiches and appetizers and it did not disappoint! The hot Italian beef sandwich was perfectly balanced with the hot giardiniera and au jus. The Italian muffuletta was dynamite! The bread on both was soft but sturdy. The Italian meatballs app was some of the best meatballs I've ever had. We sprung for the s'mores calzone and it is HUGE and extremely rich and decadent. Our server was fantastic and friendly and the setting downtown was terrific."

The Monarch

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (14)

"Stillwater has its fair share of lively bars and honkytonks, and they certainly have their place, sometimes you just want a loud crowd, cheap beer, and a little chaos. But when you're in the mood for something more refined, something with a bit of elegance and a touch of class, The Monarch is the answer.The cocktails are nothing short of an art form. This is not the kind of place where drinks are hurriedly thrown together by a frazzled college kid. Every cocktail is meticulously crafted, each ingredient carefully measured, each garnish placed with intention. The smoked old fashioned is a performance in itself, with the wood set ablaze right before your eyes, infusing the drink with deep, rich complexity. Other cocktails feature touches like earl gray syrup and tobacco bitters, flavors that are bold and sophisticated, mixed with precision by bartenders who clearly take pride in their craft.The food is just as refined without being pretentious. Every plate is a balance of flavors, and a testament to quality ingredients and thoughtful preparation. This is not bar food. You will not find cheese fries here. This is the kind of dining experience that elevates an evening, perfectly complementing the artistry of the drinks.And the service? Impeccable. The staff knows their stuff, treating every guest with warmth and professionalism without being overbearing. It's the kind of place where you feel welcome the moment you walk in the door. Time slips away inside the Monarch. Stillwater has its fair share of lively spots, and those have their place. But The Monarch is different. It is a place to sit back, sip something remarkable, and enjoy an atmosphere of pure class. It would not be out of place in London or New York, yet here it is, a gem in the middle of Oklahoma. We are incredibly lucky to have it.."

Bourbon St. Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.7 (816) • $$

"I love the little cozy speakeasy vibe. We got seated quickly, ordered some waters and asked our waitress about some nonalcoholic drinks. She suggested a virgin mojito which was so good! We also got a cesar salad with chicken and a side of grits. Both were great. Sarah our waitress was truly wonderful and provided great service and recommendations. The live Jazz music was a nice touch. While enjoying our meal and the music we also observed another waiter "Sterling" who was exceptionally respectful and hard working.We will definitely be back to Bourbon St."

Good For A Few

★★★★★ 4.8 (20)

"Excellent cocktails served by great staff in a laid back environment. HighlyRecommend!"

Nonesuch

★★★★★ 4.5 (146) • $$$$

"This was our second yearly visit for my birthday, and was just as good as we remembered!The food was delicious! Yes, the dishes are small, but that is what I usually expect at a chef's tasting menu. We came to our 5:30 pm reservation a little early which meant we were the first to get the dishes (instead of having them spoiled by the other diners) which was fun!A few favorites: the oyster mushroom is sooo flavorful, carbonated black tea with rosette cookie was super tasty, and getting to eat a full pretzel with beer was filling! But I don't want to ruin your surprise- you have to come and try it.They also change their menu every quarter. I also liked how quickly the dishes came out; the entire 10 course meal took about 2 hours. The servers and chefs were so nice too! I would come every quarter if I had the money... lol. Alas must settle for once a year! Tip #1: order one wine tasting for a party of 2; they will refill glasses and give generous pours! (Compared to Grey sweater where we only got a few mL per pour!) Tip #2: celebrate a birthday or anniversary here! You get an extra dessert course and a signed card. Tip #3: The price has increased steadily over the years, so I recommend coming as soon as you can!"

Chamber Modern American Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.7 (71) • $$

"We ate twice at this restaurant and enjoyed it. I had the crabcake club the first day and the frittata on the brunch menu. The potatoes were definitely over cooked, but the frittata had a very good flavor."

Ted’s Café Escondido

★★★★☆ 3.8 (253) • $$

"A good experience today, but perhaps not as great as usual. We had a bit of a wait to be greeted as we came in at an odd time of day (2pm). The set up was outstanding as usual with the best salsa and tortillas around. The entrees just seemed to lack a little something today, but overall we enjoyed ourselves, and we will be back."

Sidecar Barley & Wine Bar

★★★★☆ 4 (61)

"Alicia made great recommendations and checked on us periodically to make sure we were doing good. Great service and drinks."

En Fuego

★★★★★ 4.8 (17)

"Atmosphere is chic and trendy with sexy background music. Great place to take a date. Especially a 1st date. Open restaurant with seating indoors and outdoors. Full bar. Excellent wait staff very professional and considerate."

The Hutch On Avondale

★★★★☆ 3.8 (136) • $$

"Love the ambiance of this place, the food and the bartender (At least today) leaves something to be desired. Bartender seemed inattentive and maybe he was just busy, but I wasn't a fan. My steak was overcooked and my drinks were pretty terrible. (yes I stayed for 3 of them, as we were enjoying lunch) maybe sitting at a table would yield a better experience, but this will be the last time I go. Previously I had went; arrived around 1:00 and they told me brunch was finished; and handed me a menu and made a few suggestions. If you go during this "limited" period expect a very truncated menu."

Sapporo Sushi Bar

★★★★☆ 4 (106) • $$

"Lunch special is a good deal even if you only eat the rolls.Rolls are made with high-quality ingredients better than a popular sushi spot that rhymes with zolcano.Salad was mostly Iceberg.Clear soup was very mild tasting.If in the area, I am likely to order from here againAlso, it is worth noting that all utensils and condiments were included, and everything was nicely packed.Service was good for take out"

Pool Bar

★★★★☆ 4.1 (12)

"Pool Bar and Bodega is bringing what we need to the heart of OKC. Having had a taste of the omni pool I couldn't help but feel compelled to visit the newest pool bar edition to the city, Pool Bar & Bodega OKC located in the iconic 21C hotel. At the moment the pool is only open to guest of the hotel, however I am told this is set to change soon. The bodega is open from 6:30am-10pm offering coffee, pastries, lunch, and great dinner options. This new location is super groovy and fun bringing old school California vibes to OKC. The Bodega offers brunch and breakfast items as well such as pancakes and smoothies all at a reasonable price. Their lunch options include wraps, sandwiches, and some salads that sound ~really~ good. The Pool Bar offers two delicious frozen drinks, the frozen penguin mule and the frozen orange dream. Their cowabunga cowboy is a must try if you're in need of a spicy punch in your drink, honestly one of my favorite cocktails in the menu. For food I am a huge fan of their pimento cheese burger and cauliflower tacos don't miss either. Grab a side of fries and you'll be set. The fries are a must try. Chocotacos may be discontinued for the public however, here at pool bar you are welcome to order however many you want. I have yet to try them but I am sure they are a hit. The staff has been friendly and service is generally quick. I recommend this place strongly for their delicious drinks and good vibes."

Palace Rooms

★★★★☆ 4 (18)

"Have been 2x. Great atmosphere. Food is good, service is pleasant if inconsistent. Had a reservation issue 2nd visit-restaurant has nice "booths" (clearly best seats)-when we asked about them 1st visit we were told reservation only. So for our 2nd visit, since we had guests, wife made reservations, but a walk in for drinks (no reservation?) was in our "reservation only" booth. First solution offered was "would you mind sitting somewhere else"? Not really the ideal situation but we are pretty easy restaurant customers and had guests. Update: A few months later, we wanted to go back. There was an event on the street that day so the street was closed. It wasn't clear what the involvement was of Palace Rooms, but we figured "go in and ask". As we walked in, the owner was walking out. I would expect to be acknowledged regardless, but I had spoken to the owner both times I had been in previously so I was surprised he didn't acknowledge us at all. He didn't say a word and it was impossible for him not to see us....we passed at the door. When we went in, there was no one there. We waited (again, we are easy customers) and no one appeared. No hostess, no bartender, there was no one to even ask. Needless to say we were disappointed. Why a 3? The food was good. Service not so much."

Nola's Creole and Cocktails

★★★★☆ 4.3 (861) • $$

"Excellent setting and a beautiful bar. Friendly and attentive service, and really good food and drinks! Boudin balls and fried alligator are a must! The etouffee was some of the spiciest I've been served in a restaurant and that's a good thing! My hurricane was strong and very tasty! Solid Cajun food in Oklahoma!"

Saturn Room

★★★★☆ 4 (148) • $$

"We had a great time at the Saturn Room. The bartenders were excellent and all of the drinks we tried were amazing. The drink presentations definitely made this a wonderful experience and the prices were reasonable. The ambiance is perfect. Stop in here for a fun tiki time."

The Other Room

★★★★☆ 3.8 (93) • $$

"This has become my go-to place for eats and drinks in my neighborhood. The vibe is casual and fun, and the appetizers are well worth it when you need a little something to go with your cocktail."

Bird and Bottle

★★★★☆ 4.2 (257) • $$

"For the price, I wasn't really impressed with the food. Pork chop and potatoes were good but sauce was slightly over sweet. Pimento burger is a bit greasy, with a brioche bun, bacon jam that tasted more like a Worcestershire reduction sweet sauce more than bacon jam. No bacon flavor at all.Service was slow when we walked in - probably between lunch and dinner shift change. (About 3:20pm) Once we were eventually noticed by the hostess, she let us know that she would be with us in a bit. She finished whatever couple of chores she was doing before coming to seat us. She was friendly as were all the staff.I will say they at least have good teamwork: one person took our drink orders and let us know they'd bring us silvers- another came to take our food orders and a third walked by and noticed we didn't have silverware and brought us some.Place seems relatively nice. Bar is nice and there is a quieter atmosphere in the back room.This is probably a place to get drinks and a snack like flatbread or apps instead of an upscale dinner. Crab cakes were delicious. On tap choices were nice. Deducting one star for the burger and one for overall value."

Bar Serra

★★★★★ 4.5 (131) • $$

"Absolutely love the steak strip, with the chimichurri on top and arugula salad, this combination will have you scrapping the plate. One of my favorite go to's for girl time or a Sunday brunch. Their service is great, enjoy their espresso martinis! The restaurant is beautiful and the perfect little hideaway from large crowds."

Patrono

★★★★★ 4.5 (300) • $$$

"Food was absolutely spectacular. Amazing friendly service and great bread. We had 8 people, everyone ordered something different and was all incredibly delicious"

Havana Tropical Grill

★★★★★ 4.5 (403) • $$

"What a gem! We visited here due to the reviews and it did not disappoint. We started with the mojito flight. I love that they were made with quality ingredients and not just sugared up. We ordered the Papa Rellena where the lush potatoes were stuffed with savory ground beef. The fresh onions and sauce were the perfect accompaniment and they disappeared quickly. Dinner was a traditional and authentic Cuban sandwich with Tostones and the Masita de Puerco with rice and madrones. Everything was nicely presented and delicious. Their homemade sauces made the meal. Go. Eat. Enjoy!"

Cousins Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 4.1 (58) • $

"I love it here. Went today after work. The atmosphere is cozy. Younger crowds are all around. The recently updated the entire bar and everything is more open and the chairs are new. I had the steak. Really good for a bar. Great service from the ladies who work there.I'll be back soon."

REV Mex

★★★★☆ 3.9 (454) • $$

"I live right around the corner and have been coming here for years. There has recently been new owners and I feel like the menu and food quality have gone up! Can't beat the Party Pint on a Friday. A big highlight for me is the Baja fish taco. It's the best fish taco in town in my opinion."
