Tulsa Restaurant

[rocket1825]

My wife and I are coming to Tulsa tomorrow (from OKC) for the James Taylor Concert. Staying near the BOK Center. Any restaurant suggestions semi-close to BOK would be appreciated. Not concerned about cost, but keep in mind we will be dressed semi-causal (nice shorts/nice shirt). Thanks!

Nice: Juniper, trending towards expensive, but not outrageous. You can dress semi-casual.

The Tavern would be another good choice.

I second that. Marshal and some others recommend it to me a while back. The wife and I stop in there now whenever we are in Tulsa.

The Tavern would be another good choice.

I would lean more towards the Brady district...Tavern (already mentioned), Sisserou's (Caribbean), and Laffa (Medi-eastern). The Prairie Prewbub is a cool new spot and I've only had appetizers there but have heard good things about entrees. Valkyrie is great for cocktails and the new Saturn Room is an interesting experience as you feel like you've walked into a vintage tiki bar.

Valkyrie IS great for cocktails and the last time I was there about 3 weeks ago they were super friendly and had dropped the ultra hipster aloof business model (they are still hipsters). Prairie is really new and awesome! They also have good food; but it will be packed I'd assume.

Another cocktail choice very close to the BOK Center is Mix Co. Quite similar to Valkyrie really, although they have previously been friendlier. If you like top quality cocktails Valkyrie or Mix Co. are the choice. (I've not yet been to Saturn room).

We really enjoyed Sisserou's on our one visit. Finally getting some variety down there.

Speaking of hipsters, anyone tried Bohemian Pizzeria?

We were in Tulsa this weekend and ate at the Speakeasy. I'm not sure that's even its name bc it has no signage. It's in the alley next to Valkyrie. Very cool place, great food.

We ended up taking the recommendation for The Tavern. Thought it was very good (actually, the calamari with corn meal was excellent). Thanks for the help!

You're referring to Bull in the Alley. I agree. Had the porterhouse and it was very good.

Yes it's quite good. And it's a really cool space. In terms of the pizza, I think I actually prefer STG, the Andolinin's Napoli style join, on Detroit. And they have incredible gelato.
