    a dart in the center of the room
    Jon Z.

    I may be a bit partial, but I love drakes. Drakes really is a place where everybody knows your name. It's a nice little shot-gun bar... long, straight bar with stools, and a few little tables in the back, set just above the bar. They've got darts in the back, and they're always playing great music. It's dark and smokey, with lots of regulars, but everyone is very friendly and easy to talk with (not a stranger in the lot). If you're there over the weekend, make sure to cozy up to the bartender, Joe. The most easy going bartender in town, and fantastic taste in music! It's right in the middle of Cherry Street, so stop by after your next date night and check 'em out! Highly recommended.

    This is the bar from the table up on the platform.

    Joe is the best bartender. He's attentive and friendly, and he has great taste in music. Each time I've been here, the patrons are friendly. It's a dark and smokey bar with a group of regulars that just add to the ambiance. Great place.

    Speedy service, strong drinks, average prices. No complaints, we always come back when in the area. Just a good classic dive bar.

    Cool, chill little dove bar on Cherry Street. Music was great. Lots of tv's, smoking but not too bad when we were in there.

    Great place if you're looking for a Tulsa dive bar that allows smoking indoors. (Limited seating).

    11 years in the game with visiting McNellie's. From Burger Night to First Friday to late night…read morevisits... It's been very consistent with everything I've order & with customer service. From a recent visit on Valentine's Day due to a spot having their kitchen close early (my pops was performing across the street so when they were done, we came over here), I'm glad we ended up eating here. We came in, got greeted instantly & even got a table the moment after we got greeted. I find it wild that we usually get seated by the stairs in the middle, not in a bad way, I really like that table & we end up there a majority of the time when it's just us two. I wish I remembered our server's name, she did an excellent job. I went with the Whiskey Burger & it was incredible. The wait on the food didn't take long at all. The whiskey chipotle BBQ sauce stole the show. The burger was perfect. The sweet potato fries went well with the burger, I got honey mustard as my dipping sauce. I was so hungry that I ran through my whole plate in a snap of a finger. I enjoyed that night, no complaints whatsoever. Side Note: The Olympics were going on & Curling was on the television on my right. I actually looked up how the sport takes place & I learned something new that night (outside of the fact that Curling always intrigued me).

We opted for this Irish themed pub last night for dinner, and can't say enough about the service, food and atmosphere. McNellie's (sounds Irish, right?) is located on one of the seemingly lonely streets near downtown, and came highly recommended by our hotel barista. The ambiance is definitely Irish-pub--dark wood, old wooden floors and walls of exposed brick--definitely a cool sanctuary from the oppressive summer heat and humidity. And what better way to quench your thirst and beer curiosity than choosing from hundreds of beers both on tap and bottled. For the local beer enthusiasts there is a Centennial club which rewards frequent imbibers with gifts leading up to the coveted pottery mug! Our server, McKayla--was delightful. She definitely enjoyed serving us, and offered recommendations good service and conversation. The summer salad caught my wife's eye, and she enjoyed the fresh mix of roasted pistachios, cheese, watermelon and mango. I jumped at the fish and chips, which I can honesty was the best I've ever had--topping what we had years ago at an English pub by a mile. McNellie's fish portion was large, and the batter was flavorful and cooked to perfection. I was a little surprised with the small portion of chips (fries), as most establishments seem give you lot, but I guess I was thankful in a way. With some beer left in our glasses, we decided to order a plate of fries (white and sweet) for desert! If you like beer and good Irish comfort food, McNellie's is a sure bet!

    I've been here plenty of times, and it never disappoints. Do not sleep on the food here!…read moreComparatively speaking, I think that it's great quality and huge portions for the price. Prices may seem a little bit high on the food, but I do think it's worth it based on how much you get. The drinks on the other hand... I'm not enough of a drinker to know if the prices are fair, but they do seem a little bit high to me. They're great, but they do see them on the higher end as far as price is concerned for a mixed drink in Tulsa. It's a fun atmosphere, and they are really easy to work with as far as if you want to host an event here. I've hosted a handful of events here at this point with different types of people in attendance, and everyone always seems to be happy. The staff truly are super easy to work with in that aspect.

    I have heard great things about this new brewpub, so I was excited to finally try it!…read more We stopped in for dinner and drinks during Saturday at Mayfest, and we fully expected a wait. It was seat yourself and order at the bar, and there were plenty clean open tables! We were thrilled. Our drinks were poured instantly and food didn't take long at all. I love that they have cocktails added which differs from their original brewery taproom. My brat was delicious. Super hot and fresh fries. But I was actually disappointed in the cheese curds. They were gritty texture and way over salted. That was the main thing everyone told me to try, but I'd definitely still go back.

Mine had crumbled BBQ chips on top! The crust was crispy yet chewy which is exactly what I look for. The slices are big enough to fold and the crust is stiff enough it doesn't flop at the golden corner. I dig the punk vibe. Don't sleep on their special sauce, it's better than ranch (I know, blasphemy in Oklahoma).

When it came to Mardi Gras, there would be a food truck that would sit in front (I wish I could remember who it was... if anyone remembers, please refresh my memory...) & have a special menu. I made it ritual not to miss out on the food during that time. It can get really active at Empire when it comes to soccer. I love seeing the crowds & who they root for. Recently, it was Netherlands vs Morocco & it was a really good game. People who rooted for the Netherlands were DEEP in their orange jerseys (Morocco ended up winning). Outside of the obvious choices when it comes to beer, they have a selection of local beer as well. There's a LED sign that sits to the right of the bar that has an extended list of other drinking options. To those who don't drink, Empire has Mood Bru on deck. I always enjoyed myself whenever I visited. Speaking of food, if there's not a food truck on site, there's plenty of food to choose from in the surrounding (local) businesses.
