Best for custom cocktailsspirits selectionbourbon selectioncustom cocktailsadjective menuValkyrie on E Reconciliation Wy is the one Tulsans name when they want a serious drink — reviewers talk about the wall of spirits, the bourbon and whiskey lists, and ordering off-menu by adjective. It's the priciest spot here and the busiest by name demand, with about 1,900 searches a month, plus a patio when the weather holds.
“Give three adjectives and they’ll make you a drink”

Best for gluten-freeNEFF Brewing on S Frankfort Ave is entirely gluten free — beer and kitchen both — and review after review comes from celiac families who say it's the first place they could all order freely. Non-GF friends in those same reviews name the fish and chips, onion rings and spicy chicken sandwich.
“The wildest range of gluten free brew styles I've seen anywhere and they pull it off quite well”

Best for igloo nightsigloospatioigloo reservationcozy cabinWelltown on W Archer St is the igloo place — reservable igloos, a cozy cabin, and vintage campers used as private rooftop lounges with downtown views. It's the most-photographed spot here (597 photos), and reviewers also keep ordering the nuggies and the spicy chicken sandwich.
“The view of downtown was a great backdrop for our cozy igloo while we had charcuterie and Welltown brews”

Best for big groupsoutdoor arealive bandtap roompeach sourDead Armadillo at 1004 E 4th St leans experimental — reviewers name the pickle beer, the peach sour and the pink lemonade seltzer, plus food trucks and live bands out back. The "boneyard" outdoor area and axe throwing make it an easy pick for a group that won't sit still.
“They have axe throwing, a nice back patio, lots of seating and regular food trucks”

Marshall Brewing Company
★★★★★ 4.7 · 277 Google reviews1742 E 6th St, Tulsa, OK 74104, USA · added by our editor
Best for a flight on the patioMarshall on E 6th St is the brewery reviewers call Tulsa's original, a brick taproom where the bartenders walk you through a flight and the beers lean traditional rather than trendy. Reviewers single out the big shaded patio out back, $10 growler fills and a dog-friendly crowd.
“Don’t let the outside fool you - great vibes, great beer, great spot!”

Best for beer slushiesslushiespatiosourssoft serveNothing's Left on E 6th St is where reviewers go for frozen drinks and soft serve as much as for the stouts and sours, with a monthly rotation people plan visits around. The patio and swings get named a lot, and one regular warns it gets busy in the afternoon — go early.
“Really creative beers, slushies, and soft serve”

Best for a datechicken sandwichfish tacosmediterranean bowlnoise levelBar Serra sits in Utica Square, four kilometers from downtown, and reads more wine-and-a-plate than pub — reviewers name the chicken sandwich, fish tacos, Mediterranean bowl, crispy artichokes and kale salad. It gets loud and echoey when it's full, so a reservation and an off-peak hour help.

American Solera
★★★★★ 4.7 · 271 Google reviews1702 E 6th St, Tulsa, OK 74104, USA · added by our editor
Best for sours and barrel-aged beerAmerican Solera, a few doors down on E 6th St, is the beer-lover's pick: reviewers praise its barrel-aged sours, mixed-fermentation beers and stouts, and the staff explain the unusual ones. The roomy taproom in the old Bendmaster building has a kitchen too, with burgers, pimento cheese dip and charcuterie.
“The beer aficionado's brewery - one of the best in the central US, let alone Tulsa.”
American Solera Reviews →Own this business? Claim your free page
Start with what the night needs. If it's food first, Bishop Quigley and NEFF Brewing are the two the reviews push hardest, for very different reasons — one for the fish and chips, one because the whole kitchen and tap list are gluten free. If it's drinks and conversation, Valkyrie is the craft-cocktail room; if it's a crowd that wants to try a little of everything, Marshall Brewing's flights or Dead Armadillo's experimental taps give everyone somewhere to land. For a winter night with a view, book a Welltown igloo ahead — reviewers say the good ones go fast — and for a warm afternoon with the dog, Marshall's shaded patio does the job, with American Solera a few doors down for sours and barrel-aged beer.
Questions people ask
Which Tulsa bars have igloos or private outdoor spaces?
Welltown Brewing at 114 W Archer St is the one reviewers name for igloos; they also mention a cozy cabin and vintage campers, including a Dolly Parton trailer, used as private rooftop spaces with downtown views. Reviewers describe reserving them for birthdays, girls' nights and an engagement, and one notes the cool spaces are paid.
Is there a fully gluten-free brewery in Tulsa?
Yes. NEFF Brewing on S Frankfort Ave is gluten free throughout — reviewers with celiac say both the beer and the food menu are GF, and name the fish and chips, onion rings, mushrooms and spicy chicken sandwich. Several add that their non-GF friends liked everything too.
Where can I take a dog in Tulsa for a drink?
Reviewers mention pet-friendly patios at Marshall Brewing Company on E 6th St, at Welltown Brewing, and at Nothing's Left Brewing Co. on E 6th St. Policies can change, so it's worth a quick call before you go.
