The Pump Bar - Tulsa

I finally tried to the wings & they're pretty good. Smoked & deep fried and you choose up to 3 sauces. I got the Honey BBQ (reminded me of Head Country aka my all-time favorite BBQ sauce), Garlic Sambal & Hot Honey Ranch. Every single one of those sauces were good. I need a bottle of each to bring home & use it on things I make. I got a side of tots, which I've had before here and like previously, they got the job done. I think it's time for me to get one of the special tots options next. I'm a regular up here at this point. Service was always on point, wait on the food wasn't long at all. For now, they have a limited edition Ramen that I want to try before they take it off the menu.

This was a spontaneous mid-afternoon stop. I had never noticed The Pump Bar before and I guess that's because it's only been open a couple months. This place is full of Retro eye candy. It's an amalgam of old-time diner mixed with a gas station. I thought it was very cool inside, figuratively not actually. It was actually not that cold inside even though it was a Sweltering hot day on the day I visited.A bar takes up a lot of the space in the middle of the place, and there are lots of old timey swivel chairs for sitting at the bar. In front of a couple large garage doors, which were closed fortunately, a row of high top tables with chairs. On the other side of the room are a few more high top tables with chairs and they've even got a small corner of the room with some video games of some sort. I didn't really check those out. They have a fairly extensive beer list, not too many draft beers on tap though. They do have some really great cocktails our favorite being the Black Betty. There are a variety of food items available, tots seem to be a pretty big thing here. We did not order tots, we ordered a hummus plate which was really good. A pretty generous portion of hummus and next to that a bed of feta cheese topped with olives diced cucumbers and maybe something else alongside a basket of small warmed pitas. We loved it.Lively Grapefruit Radler $8Hummus Plate $12Black Betty $10 The place definitely has a cool retro atmosphere. Even though it was mid-afternoon the place was hopping.It should be noted that there is no table service. You need to walk up to the bar and place your food and drink orders and then pick it up at the bar when it's ready. I don't see how this is a sustainable way to run this business however. With the amount of people that were in there, at times there was quite a long line of people waiting to place their orders at the bar. My other gripe was that I ordered canned beer that was not nearly as cold as I would expect especially on an extremely hot day.I can't vouch for the coldness of the draft here since I did not have one. But if you can't serve a super cold beer in a chilled mug on a hot day it's probably not a place that is all that, no matter how cool looking it is inside.I realize the place is relatively new and perhaps they're still working things out. This is the kind of place that I hope survives because it is definitely a cool place. I think they have a little ways to go though before it becomes a regular spot for me.

Retro 60s gas station turned Tulsa's hottest hang is your new favorite spot for elevated bar snacks (get the Totchos! ), creative late night eats, signature cocktails and mocktails (BIG Black Betty fan), local beer, Dole Whips (make em boozy), vintage arcade games, live music, and that big ol patio we've been craving for months. The Pump is located right on the corner of 6th and Lewis, and it's dog friendly, kid friendly til 9 PM (with their own menu), and it just moved to the top of your "must visit" list.

Came on. Friday for lunch with a few coworkers. Tracy explained their food and cocktail menu and then told us to order at the bar.I had the Cabin Boys Pump Pilsner and ordered the Brisket Grilled Cheese, which came with either fries or tots. Another guy ordered their weekly taco special, which was beef barbacoa. The food came up in less than 10 minutes. Their presentation looked great. My brisket sandwich was packed with meat and cheese. The brisket was moist and flavorful. The tacos came 4 to a serving and looked great. My friend said they were awesome. Someone else ordered the Trashy Tots which were topped with bacon and cheese and also served with some hot chili oil.The food was great, the ambience was also pretty cool, but it was annoying to have to return to the bar to order another beer..........especially when there appeared to be a couple of waitresses working the floor.Definitely worth giving them a try and would come back.

Update: went for brunch today. The brisket burrito was so good. And the cheese grits were amazing. Creamy and cheesy. Service is always friendly.

Everything about this place exceeded my expectations (except the lack of service). Ordering was weird and complicated. We wanted to get bottle service and couldn't find that digitally so we were yelling from our table back and forth to the bartenders to get certain drinks. Food arrived but at different times so it got cold as to not be rude to the rest of our party. We also had to keep getting up for silverware, water and napkins. Strange. But the food was excellent and the ambience is a 10. My group would've preferred to have a waiter and just pay the tip.

This place is decorated with eclectic style with a patio and I love it! Even the bathroom is cute. The drinks and bar food exceeded my expectations. You must try the tots! I've been a few times and always enjoyed the friendly staff and love that pets are allowed.

What a cool new casual spot in Tulsa!! We stopped in The Pump for a beverage. We sat at the bar but there are plenty of tables inside and out on the patio. My husband got a beer and I had the pump punch. After perusing the menu, we decided to share the loaded tots. Yummm!! Service was awesome too! Highly recommend!

I loved the vibe of this place the second I walked in! However, the menu was pretty limited and they could definitely use some more seating.

Very hospitable and felt good to sit with the garage doors up. Pop in if you get a chance!
