Great little dive bar if you happen to be headed tone BOK Center. Not a lot of seating but we've always managed to find a place to be. 2 pool tables if you're a player and good drink and beer prices. This is a smoking bar and the air can get a little heavy at times. Stop by after the concert and show your ticket stub for a free beer or shot.......at least according to our waitress tonight. read more

I was minding my own business then got invited to a FRIENDLY game of pool. after I congratulated the female on rival team, the male came up to me threatening me to never talk to "his sister" without him present. this place is very hostile and unwelcoming to even Tulsa resident. Skip this spot. Let it die. Definitely A STAIN on this area. BAR NONE!!!!! read more

Divey as dive bars can get. Load up your TouchTunes account with plenty of coins and take over the vibes.

Terribly smoky.. terribly rude, vulgar men at the bar.. club soda had no fizz. Slum bar

A fever dream of Bukowski characters stumble in and out of this downtown bar. It's a surreal experience. But everyone was friendly on my visit. The bartender was great. The music was good. The booze was cheap. read more

Well I guess you get the kind of bar to expect when you go to certain areas. I guess unfortunately for this bar it was one of those areas. Super plus the beers are $2.75 somewhat unheard of in a downtown location. BUT the homeless people walking in made me a little apprehensive as a single woman by myself. The bartender handled it confidently so I assume she is used to this. Extremely smokey....everyone there was smoking. Even for the cheaper beer doubt I will be back. read more

Last time I was here was January 2010. Are they still around? We were just passing through from Chicago to LA and found this a very cozy place to have a drink. Cheap beer, chilled glasses, pool table, and pretty low-key. When I was there you could smoke inside, but I could do without. read more

This is the best goddamn bar in Oklahoma, let alone Tulsa. I spent the better part of an evening in this little corner of heaven, got locked in after close, and met some of the most hospitable and vibrant folks you could hope to have the pleasure of passing acquaintance. The drinks are cheap, you can smoke inside, and the juke box plays all night long. Frankly I'd rather not know the person who had an unkind word to utter about this place. Orpha's Lounge is the oldest bar in down town Tulsa and I can see why: quality stands the test of time. read more

Such a great spot! The staff was exceedingly friendly and welcoming. Theresa was working the bar when we arrived, and although my friends and I didn't know any of the patrons, we were received as regulars. Would absolutely reccomend (especially for those from out of town)! read more

Orpha's Lounge - Out front of Orpha's (the oldest bar in downtown Tulsa!) - Dive Bars Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

The perfect dive bar, and Emily is the perfect dive bartender. We walked in looking for a cheap beer and local flavor as we passed through town on a recent road trip. We found that and more. Never change, weird Tulsa. read more

I have Ben to Orphas bar every once in a while the people who work there .They are And Kind to every one who comes to. Orphas Lounge:)

We were in town for a wedding at the Mayo. We did not want to drive back to Dallas so we reserved a room there. After the wedding and reception, we wondered down the street and found this place. My first hint that it would suck was the homeless panhandlers outside their door. Walked past them and had a seat at the bar. Two men were playing pool, and the bar was obviously stacked with regulars. We ordered our drinks. Just as we were being served, the two men playing pool stopped playing midgame. One sat to the left of my wife, and the other sat to my right. They stared straight ahead. Didn't socialize, and were not welcoming. It was obvious to us they were not pleased that we were there even though we were very friendly to them and to our bartender. We got up and left. The smoke is thick but it didn't bother us. I smoke cigars, so I'm used to it. The jukebox was playing some good rock. We were ready to settle in and enjoy a chill night. And spend money. Went back to the Mayo and told our Tulsa friends where we went. They told us we were lucky to get out with my billfold and our watches. Shared beer and vodka in the Mayo lobby for the rest of the night. I've been to dive bars and biker bars all over the country, and this was by far my worse experience. I guess it's awesome if you're a regular. First requirement seems to be that you have no more than 10 teeth in your mouth. read more

Ummmm nope! Not for me! Don't get me wrong I love little hidden dive bars but this place was a little too much for me and my husband. Before we could even order 1 beer there were 2 fights at 5 pm. Needless to say we drank our one beer and got the heck out of there and walked a couple of blocks to the next closest place we could find. Much much better! read more

Dive bar in every sense of the term. Cheap drinks, 2 pool tables, and lots of regulars. read more

My kinda bar. Don't let looks deceive, good folks and good times inside. The cigarette smoke is thick but frankly that is the way a bar ought to be. read more

I just moved here from Alabama and was trying to find a chill bar. This place is awesome!!! Friendly people, great music, awesome bartender Theresa!!! I have found my new bar read more

Heck yeah this place rocks. They were the only place to accept us with open hands before a concert. All the other so called "bars" needed us to have a reservation. Not this place! They were ready to take our money and serve us booze. Not only that but they even offered us a free drink after the concert. Yassss. Highly recommend! read more

This place used to be something great. Now there is a small area of time that it is any good. When the regulars are there and before 9pm it is fun! Anytime after that the bartenders friends get super wasted and make everyone's life a living hell. She won't kick them out or stop them if they harass you, I was assaulted by a drunk woman and had to leave to get away from her.. So keep it in mind if you decide to randomly hit this place up. read more

Fantastically dive-y. Put a few bucks worth of Sabbath in the jukebox and you'll win the hearts and minds of the clientele.

My friends and I stumbled into this great dive bar after a Bernie Sanders rally this spring. After the initial shock in the form of walking into a smaller than expected bar filled with regulars, we started to feel right at home. We shared a little friendly banter with the locals and enjoyed the drink specials they were offering. They had a couple pool tables in the front of this small space, so we enjoyed some games of pool while we drank and relaxed. It was a perfect end to our fun evening in Tulsa! Definitely recommend if you are in the area of the convention center and any to grab a drink at a 100% local place. read more

Went thier on a Saturday night. Had a good time. Good price on drinks.

Dollar beer. Five dollar pitchers. Homeless people trying to trade old DVD's for drinks. A jukebox full of classic 8-track rock. What could be better? read more

I love this bar. Work brought me to Tulsa for a weekend. After interviewing on Saturday, my coworker and I went to a monster truck rally at the BOK Center. Rather than head back to the hotel bar, we thought we'd check out somewhere with more local flavor. As soon as we walked into the bar, one of the other patrons came over and welcomed us, introduced himself, and then went back to his pool game. Friendly enough to appreciate, but not so much that we felt our space was invaded. It was clear that we were the only ones there that didn't know everyone else there. I feel confident that if we had wanted to be left alone, they would have respected that. Not everyone goes out drinking to make friends. But we were looking to meet some new people, and sure enough, we met some new people. An artist there offered to spell my coworker's name out in wire (dollar a letter. Includes a pen holder and business card holder. Totally worth it). A hobo gave me some advice on how to hop freight trains. One guy that I ended up talking to for a while eventually gave me his number and told me to call him if I was ever back in town so he could give me a tour. Also, maybe this is normal in Tulsa, but Michelob costs $1, from the tap. read more

If you're looking for a honky-tonk in the middle of downtown, this is the place for you! Good prices, and even better people. Friendly staff, colorful locals, and you can still smoke in here!!!! read more

Met a real nice guy named Danny. Had a great time with him and a nice cab ride home. Didn't get his last name or # but wish i would have. He was a friend of my sis Robin. Would like to find him again and possibly see him again but my sis doesn't know his last name or a phone # for him. Orphas is a Great place to meet nice people!!! read more

Only wrote one star because I had a minimum. Literally had the worst service ever, tried to be nice because I'm in the same Industry and thought it may be quite busy.... The bartender decided it was ok to go ahead and just swipe my card saying there was a 20$ minimum which would have been fine if she would have told me. Instead of telling me she handed me my "change" and I went to correct her bc I didn't want to take someone else's money and she then told me to loose my attitude, which I was trying to make sure she was being good to someone else and she started dreadlocks g out saying if I was ungrateful that they already have my money and there is nothing I can do to get it back and poured everything I had paid for all over the bar. Never ever in my whole entire life have I ever been treated that way and I would never ever deco amend that bar. First place I decided to drink in Tulsa and I guess I won't ever do it again read more
