20 Best Pubs in Tulsa

“My wife and I stopped in at Kilkenny’s on a Monday night, having hit the road that morning to begin our journey west along Route 66. By the time we reached Tulsa, we were ready for dinner and a pint—somewhere comfortable, not a generic hotel restaurant or a national chain. We wanted a place with character, and Kilkenny’s delivered in every way. Irish pubs can be hit or miss—sometimes they feel more like themed set pieces than actual places. But Kilkenny’s felt authentic from the moment we walked in. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, the food was excellent, and the pint selection hit the spot. What truly made the experience memorable, though, was the staff. Our server was friendly and attentive, and the manager even came over to chat with us. They made us feel right at home. Before we left, they handed us a Kilkenny’s pint glass to take with us—a small gesture, but it made a big impression. It was the perfect first stop for our journey: a relaxed, genuine local place where we could wind down, eat well, and feel like we’d found something special. If you’re ever in Tulsa—or if you live there—you should definitely stop in. I know we will next time we’re in town. Sláinte!“

“My husband and I found this place by chance, we looked for a place to take out and the pictures looked good. Well, I’m so happy we did!! This is for sure going to be our spot for takeout/dine in.

We ordered the fish and chips and vegetables curry and they were both SO good! We stopped by to pick up our food and were amazed with how cool, beautiful the place is. Go and enjoy!!“

“Love the bar tenders/servers but hate the new uniforms! What's up Pub W?“

“Suzy is the best!! love this bar we have a blast everytime!!great place to hang out an have a good drink!!!!“

“The owner hosts a fundraiser every year in honor of his daughter Tori who passed away. Not only is he a great and personable host, his customers proved to be wonderful, caring and generous too. Yesterday he hosted a benefit for my daughter Jamie. Their food is great and the staff was fantastic. If you’re looking for a great casual atmosphere to visit and relax in I highly recommend The Market Pub.“

“Really fun atmosphere. When it gets busy tho, it gets extremely loud. Hard to visit. Food is good, but a little expensive for what it is. Drinks are really expensive, like over $8 for a simple rum and coke. The two of us spent over $80 for fish and chips and two drinks/beers each.“

“I love MAX retropub! All of the staff are so polite, aware, and focused on ensuring a good, safe time occurs! Thank you for being a safe space bar option for me downtown. Thank you for supporting lgbt+ and sober crowds too ♥️✨🌟“

“fue mi trabajo en ese restaurante de 22 años tengo grandes amigos creo que cumplí como mexicano trabajador como somos todos felicidades McNellies“

“Billy stark is the best 5 star waiter drove from Tennessee now time for me to go back home the best burger 🍔 in Tulsa“

“Krystal and Tonya some of the best bartenders and having amazing personalities. Very welcoming an inviting and some great tables and pool.“

“Brooke is the friendliest bar owner you can find and gorgeous as well. Bar tenders are always ready to sling you that drink you want and need, plus they are friendly and helpful as well. The bar gets plenty of regulars of all races and backgrounds.“

“I wanted to check out a local bar by my hotel, and this hole in the wall bar was right across the street. What an experience, it reminded me of the old college days back in the early 2000's. They had ashtrays on the bar, you can't do that in my state...you can't even do it in Mexico. It wasn't too smokey in there and didn't bother me at all. The drinks were priced exceptionally. Tito's and cranberry for $5. They also had jello shots for $1.“

“First off: this establishment denies the death of Dennis Quaid. HE IS OBVIOUSLY DEAD.Anyway.Joe is a wonderful bartender. After a brief dispute regarding my weight Joe offered to squat me. I climbed upon his broad shoulders and he went to business. Initially I thought he would tumble over (I am top heavy) but his mighty legs were true. He was able to squat me thrice. We did not resolve the issue regarding how much I weigh.Treat is . . . fine.“

“I recommend Uncle Bentley’s Pub and Grill for any new comer to Tulsa, it’s your neighborhood bar that you’ve been looking for. It’s friendly during the day or evening. The regulars during the day are very welcoming, the food is great (they are known for their burgers) and conversation is lively. Join the conversation and find yourself a new home bar!!!!!“

“Best carne asada I’ve ever had!!“

“The first stop I make when I get to Tulsa. Found this place a few years ago and have been in love ever since. Has that “feel at home” feeling. I love a place where “regulars” make you feel welcome and like one of them. The patio area was the perfect spot for the first “cool snap” of the season. Will be back from Houston real soon I hope“

“I have had the pleasure of coming here for 4 years. Always have a good experience. Great prices, very homey feel. I have seen people here throw parties to celebrate guests getting pregnant, birthdays with custom themes, barbecues, going away parties, etc. i have nothing but love and positive experiences. AR is where it’s at“

“Best Pub in Tulsa to watch any soccer event from all over the world“

“Husband and I got here later but it was still a bit busy, fun atmosphere just be careful with your surroundings and alcohol consumption— I was over served (my fault) and when it’s closing time, get ouuuut because it’s rude not to, but I wish thet played more Country Music! We had a great night out though!“

“I literally drive 50 minutes out of my way to get to this bar. It is that good. Whether it be the ultra attentive staff, the good food for reasonable prices, or the bands they bring in, PJ’s is where it’s at. Sierra, Shelby and the gang never fail to give me incredible service. Can not recommend this place enough. PJ’s is a vibe.“
