The Tastiest Pubs in Tulsa

Henry Hudson's Pub

★★★☆☆ 3 (20) • $

"Great Service, Good Drinks, Great Prices on the Specials, Full of Smoke (which I hate)How do I pray that Oklahoma or OKC will pass a no smoking law in bars and restaurants like almost everywhere else in the US and the world... That said, this is a great local bar where every single patron has a cigarette and is smoking like a chimney. You will get lung cancer by hanging out here frequently... so you have been warned.... that said the drinks are good, the service is good and the specials are awesome... $1 - $1.50 beers... and half price apps late at night... People were nice... and they have darts and pool, everything a bar should have... all in all, it is a good place to go late night for a beer... or pool or anything else like that! 3 stars b/c of the smoke 4 stars without... bring a flashlight to find your way through the smoke however so you can find a table or see where you are going..."

Kilkenny's Irish Pub

★★★★☆ 4.4 • $$

"Authentic Irish pub! The atmosphere and vibe mimics pubs I've been to in Ireland. The staff are friendly.The food is absolutely delicious, hearty portions and authentic flavors.Highly recommend!"

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."

Uncle Bently's Pub & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.5 (15) • $

"Pickles Pub is a great neighborhood bar with a different food special each day of the week and reasonable drink prices. The outdoor patio is perfect on a temperate evening, and a nice place to sit and talk if the live music indoors gets a bit loud for conversation. Come for drinks, food, and live music by local/regional bands. The renovated space is great for groups, and the staff is friendly if you decide to stop in while rolling solo. Features:Outdoor PatioFood SpecialsLive Music"

The LODGE Eatery and Pub

★★★★☆ 3.9 (125) • $$

"Found this local dive on Yelp while in town for work. I was surprised how packed it was at 7:45 on a Wednesday. And the service and food answered that easily. The fresh cut and battered steak fingers are hands down the best I've ever eaten. Full of flavor without the flour taste. The fresh cut fries make this plate 5-stars. Definitely will visit again when in town."

Max's Garage

★★★★☆ 3.8 (50) • $

"Grabbed some dinner before a concert. Quick & friendly staff. Food was good. I loved the atmosphere!"

White Lion

★★★★★ 4.5 (215) • $$

"ServerI think he is one of the owners.Ambiance This is very reminiscent of the British pubs I frequented while in the UK. Very nice FoodWow, totally authentic. Overall I'm very impressed. The feeling is totally british, complete with a very impressive bar. Very very nice.MilitaryNope"

Bishop Quigley

★★★★☆ 4.4 (25) • $$

"Perfect Irish-American bar. The Guinness was poured just right, service was friendly and prompt and the design details, like the chairs, are great. Also, I love the fact that they have just a small handful of menu items, focused on quality execution, instead of one the size of an encyclopedia. I hope more restaurants and bars go in this direction:A handful of items, done well."

Grady's 66 Pub

★★★★☆ 4 (12) • $

"Grady's Pub is a fantastic place to go in and drink. It's downtown Yukon so I can walk home after getting tanked. Beer, live music, smoke free, and a cockfighting ring in the basement, what more could you ask for?"

Market Pub

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (12) • $

"Eh...it's not bad here. It is a karaoke bar which is cool, but I felt the drinks were intentionally made weak so they can get you to spend more money ordering more. There's a dart board and pool tables and a jukebox. Fair warning, the place can get a bit rowdy especially on Friday and saturday nights and drunk driving is especially bad bc all the street racers that drive down memorial like to hang out in the shopping center where this place is and drink and show off their stupid cars. Fights are not uncommon either."

The Smokey Pokey

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (118) • $$

"Great service! Came in at 5:30, place filled up as we ate.I got the fish tacos. Tasty with lime, coleslaw, bbq and ranch. Hubby got two meat dinner with fries and Mac and cheese.Prices scared me but after we ate, it was worth it. For a two meat dinner $20, the fish tacos $14, two extra sides $3 each, and a kids meal $7, it was $55.13 after tax, before tip. (We always get waters.)I'd come here again! Quiet enough to talk but bar-ish feel and music playing. Pirate ship was cool! Kids had fun!THANK YOU!"

Pizzeria Ruby

★★★★☆ 4.3 (301) • $$

"This is the best pizza we've found since moving to NWA in November of 2023. Period.We decided to stop at Pizzeria Ruby on the way home after a Razorback basketball game as we had heard how good it was. Well we got there and put on name on the list. We were like 30th on the list and as best as we could tell it would be about a two hour wait... no thanks. So we just ordered a pizza to go.We got the large pizza with half cheese and half pepperoni. We drove home and the smell in the car was soooo tempting. The pizza itself was just absolutely fabulous. They did it right. The crust was perfect. The sauce was perfect. The cheese, pepperoni, all of it was just perfect. It's like these people are experts ewho know how to do this, don't skimp on anything, and don't over do it. I cannot wait to get back and try some of their other dishes. Now that we know the waits are long we'll put our name on the wait list before heading the."

The Lodge Eatery and Pub

★★★★★ 4.6 (22)

"Small bar drink selection but the food is pretty solid. Definitely worth checking out as a local bar"

Bricks and Brews

★★★★☆ 4.2 (40)

"We stopped into Bricks and Brews while on our Route 66 trip, to grab some lunch. They have beers on tap, a bunch of TVs if you're interested in catching a sporting event, and a pretty decent pizza menu. We were the only people in there in mid afternoon. We ordered a large cheese pizza to share and a beer, each. The pizza came out surprisingly quickly and was not burnt at all contrary to some other reviews on here. It wasn't the best pizza I've ever had but it was tasty and crisp and better than I would expect for Kansas. The bathrooms also have really interesting decor. I'm glad we stopped in."

Drake's Tavern

★★★★☆ 4.3 (19) • $$

"Dude- this bar rocks. You can't go with a bunch of friends, because only 10 or so people can even fit in here at once, but let's be honest- your friends probably aren't that great. I know mine aren't. Drake's is a smoking bar, so be prepared for that, but the drinks are cheap, the service is friendly, and after you get past the regulars being... well, regulars, you'll have an unbelievable time. Last time I went I spent all night throwing darts, at which I'm incredibly talented, and left feeling buzzed AND victorious. This place just feels right."

McNellie's

★★★★☆ 4 (475) • $$

"Delicious Food and an Incredible Beer Selection at McNellie's!While visiting Tulsa, we decided to have lunch at McNellie's, and it did not disappoint! I ordered the Fish and Chips, and my boyfriend went with the Reuben sandwich. Both dishes were served hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious.One of the highlights of McNellie's is their impressive beer selection. They offer an incredible variety of beers from around the world, which made it fun to try something new.The service was top-notch as well--the staff were friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. If you're in Tulsa, McNellie's is definitely worth a visit for great food, drinks, and welcoming vibes!"

Henry Hudsons

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (12) • $

"This place is so fun to watch sports, they always have on the volume of the game and if you can handle the smokey atmosphere, they usually have really awesome drink specials, like BOGO.I really enjoy their food, especially a new menu item called the fried tacos. SO GOOD! All the guys in our group love getting the jalapeno burger. All great greasy bar food."

The Hunt Club

★★★☆☆ 3 (45) • $

"From over the years I've been visiting The Hunt Club, I only recall going hard on their wings. I was informed Masa is now serving their empanadas so now it's my new regular when I come visit. I got 3 empanadas (3 for $10): Pabellón, TCB & Veggie.Pabellón - Beef, black beans & sweet plantains (Light Orange)The beef wasn't as dominant (a great thing for me since I'm trying to eat better/chill on my bad habits) while the beans & plantains did exactly what they needed to do. Very good, with or without the chimichurri sauce.TCB - Thai chilis, basil & chicken (Red)Just like the beef on the previous empanada, the chicken wasn't dominant while the chilis & basil did their thing. Wasn't spicy (it takes a lot for something it be spicy for me), was definitely flavorful. Veggie - Black beans, kale, quinoa & corn (Dark Purple)This was my favorite one out of my order & it was by a landslide. PACKED with quinoa (never realized how much I loved till then). Corn, beans & kale complemented everything so well. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. I haven't had Masa in a minute & this was a reminder of what I enjoyed when I saw their food truck out & about. Seriously, you can't go wrong eating any them with or without the sauce (I really don't know which way is better...). To those who aren't able to catch their food truck, coming to Hunt Club is your best bet. Outside of the food, The Hunt Club has been extremely local with their events + live music. More than ever in the past 6 months alone. Maddison & Cole are always holding it down."

Mooney's Pub & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.8 (21) • $

"White trash bash was a blast!! We are so thrilled to have another local spot with live music and real adult fun!Everyone was into the theme too!The food was way better than any spot like this I have been too. All the fried foods were incredible and I even had a ton of leftovers!The burgers, club, chicken, fries, and okra were well worth the price!"

The Pump Bar

★★★★☆ 4.1 (240) • $$

"Amazing bar and hangout spot. Excellent drinks. Plenty of parking available in the back. Awesome outdoor seatings. I really like the vibe of the Pump Bar. Service is good. Next to Urban Teahouse, which you could grab some hot tea afterward to counteract the alcohol if you had too much to drink."

Friends Pub & Pizza

★★★★☆ 4 (10) • $$

"What a great small town pub, pizza is great, the salads are phenomenal, and the prices are pretty good too. Interior decor is fun and exactly what I like to see in a hole in the wall place. You won't be disappointed that's for sure! Support the local businesses and come enjoy great food and an excellent staff."

Empire

★★★★☆ 4.1 (32) • $

"Empire is THE place to go to have a chill and laid-back time...oh and to watch sports of course!I was frantically looking for places to go watch the World Cup games and none really gave me that enthusiastic and hopeful feel I was looking for until I came here. Their futbol vibe starts way before you even walk in the door. I checked out their Facebook page and they seemed psyched up about it...counting down the days until the World Cup started, posting pics (not rare in other places but seriously the ONLY place in Tulsa I found doing this)...I love that they had flags decorating the outside too and even a soccer goal set up in the back. The inside isn't anything fancy nor pretty but that's the beauty of empire, it's simplicity and how it simply works. They have plenty of TVs all around, two pool tables, plenty of sitting and a very nice patio. The drinks are very affordable and they always have specials going on. I loved that they personalized the bar and specials according to EACH match that was going on (Sauza tequila when Mexico played plus the chance to win a lovely umbrella and chair). That's something else that adds fun to the the futbol watching here too... They give out prizes and freebies ALL the time, after EVERY match! I'm not talking about lameones either that no one really wants...they give out soccer balls, jerseys, scarfs... It's pretty awesome. This is my favorite place to watch futbol for sure. So if you come in during the World Cup I'll probably be there. I almost forgot to mention the food. Sometimes they hand out free hot dogs, and sometimes the Mangiamos food truck parks right outside!Oh and I can't forget about the awesome service and nice people that work here!!! Their genuineness is so refreshing, they make you feel at home here. The bouncer is super funny and it's just all good here so plan a visit!The ONLY thing I wish I could change is the parking situation but that's just external and sometimes out of their control. There's very limited parking in the back and a $3 lot to the side. I usually park at closer to 15th street and just walk over. Just FYI."

Hopscotch

★★★★☆ 3.7 (313) • $$

"Food was excellent. I was surprised at how tasty their fish was. Went with 3 other former bank employees who enjoyed their meals as well. One had Reuben others had French onion soup. Service was timely and allowed us to get our reunion completed. Place was just ok"

The Deli

★★★★☆ 4.4 (28) • $

"Stopped in here on a whim Valentine's Day not knowing where the heck we were going and so glad we did! The guy performing on stage was fabulous and the special drink that night was made superbly delicious by the bartender!! Can't wait to go back! Thank you!!"

McNellie's South City

★★★★☆ 3.8 (215) • $$

"McNellie's "The Original Charburger" may be an overlooked sleeper.My wife had the burger. I had the Fish and Chips. The fish portion was a slab, bigger than a fisherman's lie. On the side, a combo mixture of crisp fries, or "chippies" if you prefer. Enough for two people. (check the Photos) The tarter sauce was a little funky tasting, but that was OK, because in true Irish fashion I prefer the Malt Vinegar. The burger was excellent. It appeared to be a half pound patty. It was cooked to text book perfection Medium Rare. Grill lines and a crisp char flavor finish. Just as my wife ordered it. Complete with L,T,P,O& M, hold the Mayo. Along with it, more delicious fries than you can eat. Rayleen was our server. She was covering a busy area of the restaurant. But she did a great job, all with a friendly smile. The restaurant has a comfortable pub atmosphere. If you have not tried a McNellie's "The Original Charburger" you need to get it on your list"

OK Cider Co

★★★★★ 4.9 (41) • $$

"I think this is the only cider brewery in Oklahoma as of now, and the venture involved with choosing the flavors as a brewer seems daunting. People will probably enter and read flavors and be like "why the heck"; those people are misanthropists and they probably don't enjoy their own existence as wellThey have this thing called a mega flight or a 16 cider flight or maybe it is a different name i cannot remember but it is an offering to sample all of their taps, but you have to arrive before two hours of their closing time. If you arrive and attempt to place your order t-minus 119 minutes 59 seconds then don't be that person to put them in the position to tell you they're not allowed to serve it to you. Also I'm just a schmo and not in any way a representative of the brewery so my testimony is not withheld in the court of law if you attempt to leverage this review's details in your discussion with the bartenderThe interior is really one of the coolest breweries I think with an industrial look around the bar and then they have a living room styled space toward the north side of the building. The front door is a large yellow door stamped with something like brewery entrance, and sometimes the door sticks so be careful when opening itService is so good and they can answer all of your questions about their business and the taps they have. They are patient with all of their customers so if you think someone is taking too long and you become elitist with your time then know you'll recieve the same patience; you'll love it; if you don't love it then just go fly a kite It seems they rotate their brews quite often so if you miss a flavor they'll probably have it again maybe. I enjoyed a majority of the flavors and the really fun part is how some ciders taste way different after trying another flavor so lots of palate clensing is necessary to avoid polluting the next sip in the flight"

Henry Hudson's Pub

★★★☆☆ 2.5 (10) • $

"Great place with a group or for a night cap. Service was good and I couldn't believe how inexpensive the drinks were. The Irish nachos were very tasty and more than enough for two people to share. Big screens in the back room to catch the game. The only warning I would give is that the bar is pretty smoky."

Jameson's Pub

★★★☆☆ 3 (30) • $

"Crowded and understaffed, very smokey inside, but there's an outdoor patio, which is nice $9 6 bottle domestic buckets during happy hour"

Uptown Kitchen + Taphouse

★★★★☆ 4.4 (368) • $$

"This place is a little hard to find - unless you already know about it, you may miss it. It's in a corner, with a tree blocking the view of the front. So look them up and check them out.LOTS of beer on tap. The food is excellent, and the waitstaff is helpful and friendly.Definitely a must try."

The West End Grill

★★★☆☆ 2.7 (3) • $$

"Have been here a couple times and so far everything I've ordered has been delicious and a good price for what you receive. I've had the French toast, which was super inexpensive for what I got. Couldn't finish it all. I've also had a few different dinner options and they were all very good."

Bison Witches Bar & Deli

★★★★☆ 3.6 (132) • $

"Chloe is great. Possibly the best damn Bloody Mary in Moore or Norman or possibly little axe and also Newcastle or Noble. Chill vibes and they let you wear hats indoors. Sandwiches, service and ambience. If you don't get the green turkey you're just letting the best in life pass you by."

Skinny Slims

★★★★☆ 4.4 (59) • $

"Dang it. I found this spot on my last night in OKC. And it should have been my bar the entire time I was there. Love that it was small and homey. And the crowd on a Tuesday night were clearly regulars. But they didn't mind the invasion by a few visitors, especially a group of women. They had a great whisky selection and I got a reasonably priced pour of Bulleit 10 year which I love. My friends were pleased with their beer selection so everyone was happy.The space is small inside but comfortable and not jostley when we were there. Loved all the sporty-sport decor."

The Knotty Pint

★★★★★ 4.8 (5)

"A long time ago. 1967-July. Just got home from boot camp. Service great. Dad picked me up from airport and bought me my first sanctioned beer. I never told him that I hate beer. Lol"

The Shop

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"The food was very good. The staff were friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was fun and inviting. This place is a great place to relax and watch a game after a long day at work. It would be awesome if they had like some sort of a food challenge. Like maybe an absolutely massive burger, or a 72ounce steak and sides challenge. Or extremely hot, hot wings. Anyone of those would be awesome."

The Max Retropub

★★★★☆ 3.7 (106) • $

"80's and 90's babies unite! They have such cool retro stuff. I only popped in to see what it was all about. The bartender was friendly and we talked for a bit. I liked all the decor. Flashbacks to my childhood! From stuff like the A-Team to Garfield. Man...my ADD brain was very entertained! I want to go back and try a couple of their quirky drinks and play some games, great nostalgia. We popped in on a week night about 10pm and there was a homeless man sitting having a beer and about 6 older guys playing games and one couple fighting in the back by the skeeball... so it felt "awkward " lol. But the place looked super cool so I 4 star it just for that alone....and I definitely want to go back during the day just to hang out and play. I'll do an update when that happens. Here is the website they have a listing of all their drinks https://maxretropub.com/"
