Cannot believe I have not yet reviewed Valkyrie. This is Tulsa's preeminent cocktail bar. Sure it can fill up on weekends. But Scott (dark curly hair) and the crew knows how to welcome a crowd. On a Saturday/ Sunday afternoon, don't be scared to stop in in your jogging clothes. A few favorites are the El Diablo (house made ginger beer, tequila, mezcal, creme de cassis, and lime) - as well as all the classics. They know how to make a stunning old fashioned, amaretto sour, and to embellish, if you tell them what you like. I come and go in waves, depending upon the season. I have tried the season of tequila, gin, and whisky drinks -- all the same. They also feature a splendid beer lineup. But, with rare exceptions, I always order cocktails here. BTW - they will make a terrific mocktail if you have a DD or non-drinker in your midst. This is a real diamond in the Brady district. I remember 3 years ago when there was nothing here, besides Brady Tavern, a few subpar dining options, and Glacier confections. Things have changed. The Brady district is alive and well. Long live Valkyrie ! read more

Cool vibe. Delicious drinks for any mood. Staffs are super nice. Always a good experience here!

There are really now words to describe how incredible this place is, but what makes it so cool is you can give these bartenders (no, mixologists) a few adjectives and they'll create a drink. And it'll be amazing. These folks have it down to a science. If you're in Tulsa, whether you live here or you're visiting, stop in for a drink. You won't be disappointed! read more

"Serious drinks" is their motto, and I love the vibe. If one of their many menu items doesn't appeal to you, they have a unique experience of creating custom cocktails. You choose a few adjectives from a list and the bartender will delight you with a surprise drink. Additionally, you can order off-menu since they have a full bar. I enjoyed a couple of Old Fashioneds, and they were well made. Their version is missing the cherry, but still I'd order them again happily! The atmosphere is unique and fun, and the wall of liquor is instagram-worthy. read more

Loooooved this place! We went when they re-opened after things were shut down and they were very friendly. You could tell that they were still adjusting and trying to figure out their new normal. Drinks were phenomenal. I had no idea what I had because I had told the bartender what flavor profiles I liked and he whipped up something delicious for me. Will definitely be back! read more

Fantastic drinks! fantastic staff! beautiful design, love the booths. Do yourself a favor and have a few drinks before dinner here, you won't be sorry read more

Hands down our favorite bar in town! We have been in Tulsa for many years and haven't found a bar that makes better drinks than Valkyrie. If you are a cocktail aficionado then this place is for you! The cocktail menu changes every season but don't feel obligated to follow the menu. They have the option to tell your bartender about what you are in the mood for with over a dozen key words like "fruity", "smoky", or "refreshing" and your bartender will make up a drink just for you! A few favorites there are the classic "El Diablo" - with Sombre Mezcal, tequila, crème de cassis and home made ginger beer - and the Port-au Prince a great rum drink with lemon juice. The only issue is that the place is so good that it is packed on the weekends! So make sure to arrive early on Friday-Saturday nights if you want a seat. The bar is fairly small and only accommodate about 60-70 people. Otherwise this is a perfect place to unwind and socialize! read more

Valkyrie - El Diablo and Port au Prince - great handcrafted drinks! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

The drinks were amazing. Harris was friendly and he had great suggestions. It's a great place to sit and chat with friends.

Good drink selection pricy but worth it . If you love whiskey get the "knife fight ".

Me and some friends were on a business trip and stopped in for a drink, it was so good, relaxing and the bartenders really know there spirits! We stayed all night! read more

Wow this is a nice little spot. Great bar, great drinks and fair prices. I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to have a great night with super good drinks. Very well done! read more

Wow... just wow! Amazing drinks and atmosphere. Men, grab you a Nomad. Try you a poltergeist. Thank me later!

Tulsa Oklahoma ! Congrats for having one of the best bourbon bars and bartenders around the country. If you like bourbon and a PERFECT old fashioned or other drinks period this place is a must go to location. My colleague and friend Paul found this place on a business trip. Suggested I go and I was grateful i did for an after dinner drink . Funny thing is I really don't like bourbon as a go to drink I like gin tequila and wine. But per Paul's suggestion I went here and now have the bench mark set for the perfect old fashioned and other bourbons . Plus holy cow when a drinks good you order a few more and shoot before you know it your ubering to the hotel . I wish this place was in Detroit they could teach some places a few lessons . We will be back soon miss this little quaint place even if it's just to hang out and have some nice conversation . read more

They have this really cool thing where you list a few personality traits (i.e. playful, complex, etc) and/or tastes you like (i.e. sour, sweet, fruity) from a small prompt and they make a drink based on a what you select. It's a fun thing to buy someone a drink like that on a special occasion, such as a birthday. The drinks are high quality, moderately-priced, and the place is usually packed so going with a group larger that 3 people on a weekend will make it hard to find seating. I love their vibe and I go once every 1-2 weeks! read more

Valkyrie - "The Church," tasted kind of like a bougie-er mimosa. Thing on top is an orange rind :) - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

Best place in Tulsa to hangout with friends and have some good drinks! Definitely recommend!

They have Togo drinks!!!! The bar tender for New Years Eve(This is a late post) did an amazing job! The Old Fashion was delicious.

One of the best old fashions I've had in the Tulsa area. I've moved around a lot being in the military and my favorite are my own. However, benson Nebraska and San Antonio have some great ones and this place has a plethora of great drinks to choose from and they will even make one for you according to how your tastes are and how you are feeling which is great! read more

I really really enjoy the drinks here. The only reason I don't go here very often is because they are very expensive. Totally worth it but can't go all the time. I went here with my boyfriend one evening. I love the menu where you pick out several different adjectives and they make a drink to go with it. Mine was amazing! Will definitely go as often as i can and i love the cozy atmosphere. read more

Stumbled upon this amazing establishment and stayed for over three hours working and sipping on some of the best craft cocktails I have ever had! All the bartenders were extremely welcoming and amazing! Truly a must if your in downtown Tulsa! read more

I love looking at the wall of bottles! So pretty! Would recommend for a chill night out.

I base my 4 stars on super cool decoration and decadent cocktails with thoughtful menu design and forward concept. Amazing drinks. However, their cheeseboard felt like a scam to me; since the quantity was so small and the taste was nothing special. I've had much better ones from other places in Tulsa (with better price as well). Other than that, nice concept and fantastic drinks. Did I say awesome drinks?!? read more

Valkyrie never disappoints. Drinks are consistently fabulous and service is always friendly and fun. A must-stop at Tulsa.

This bar is really cool. The bartenders are very knowledgeable and they have a huge variety of drinks. Just walk in and see the hundreds of bottles on the way. They also serve appetizers, so we got a small cheese tray. We always come here for a predrink before dinner. If you've never been you're missing out. read more

Best date night. I love the atmosphere here and they have a great selection of whiskeys. Ask the bartender to make you something amazing and they will ask you to describe what you like. Everyone is so friendly and clean bathrooms. read more

Would drive out of the way just to have a drink at Valkyrie. Handcrafted drinks from specialists is well worth the drive. read more

Valkryie Bar exceeds greatness in every aspect. When it comes to 'serious drinks' this is a prime spot nestled in Tulsa's booming Brady Arts District. I myself have always been a craft beer girl. As it has been getting warmer outside I have thoroughly enjoyed their Good JuJu beer's crisp and light taste. However, my go-to is the Pilsner. Never have I ever really gotten into cocktails... until now. Valkryie takes pride in the craft of building a pure and built to perfection cocktail. The staff, very unassuming and kind, will happily share with you how a drink is made and make sure you order exactly what you fancy. For example, I walked in last Saturday as the sun was beaming. I wanted to try a new cocktail, so I said I would like a strong drink, but not one that was too sweet that would weigh me down, and definitely not one that would make me feel warmer. And, voila! A perfect daiquiri appeared before my eyes made with Rhum Barancourt that had been aged 8 years. Whether it be a beer, cocktail, or wine -this place will tickle a whole party's tastebuds. The space is welcoming and sophisticated all at the same time with high quality brown leather couches, high tables, and bar seating. This place is one of my favorites in Tulsa and you can bet your bottom dollar that if you visit me we will hunker-down at this beautiful venue and sip on some 'serious drinks'. read more

Valkyrie - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

When passion and liquor collide, the result is Valkyrie. The bar is total decked in some of the coolest stuff around, from a Union Jack Couch, to vintage Harry Potter posters you'd be actually proud to display in your living room. The drinks are fantastic and they can make your favorite, or recommend a great new option based on what you feel like drinking. Great place to people watch during the Friday Art Crawls due to the large windows at the front of the bar. read more

I cannot say enough great things about this place - it's my Cheers bar in Tulsa, Oklahoma with outstanding drinks. If you are a cocktail fan, you won't find better ones anywhere, of this I am sure (and I travel often). The menu changes often, but you can always special request your favorite cocktail even if it has cycled off the board. For beer and wine fans, the offering isn't huge, but you will find into be truly unique and fun if you enjoy trying new things. Also, my husband and I love Reed, by far our favorite bartender in all of Tulsa. He remembered our names after our first visit and always takes great care of us from the time we walk in the door. **Note: This bar does not serve food. If you are hungry, just hop across the street to Laffa and enjoy the walk-up falafel window before or after you drinks. ***Another Note: Fire Marshall capacity at this place is low at 80 people, which means they can easily hit capacity by 9:30pm on weekends. Get there before 9:00 on Friday/Saturday if you don't want to chance waiting at the door for a short period of time. If you do decide to visit this little Tulsa gem, find Reed and have him make you a Buenos Aires Mule. I am pretty sure you won't be disappointed. read more

If this isn't the greatest bar in Oklahoma, it surely is in Tulsa! If you are looking for foo foo swirly drinks or a place to drink beer and watch a ball game, this is not the place for you. They do serve beer and wine but the forte is clearly the cocktail. All the bar staff are VERY knowledgeable and mix a very fine drink. The scene is a bit trendy and hipster but no one is out of place. Great place to make new friends too The Sazerac alone should earn 6 stars My new watering hole in Tulsa for many years to come....see you there read more

We happened to find Valkyrie during our latest visit to Tulsa over Thanksgiving and vowed to return over Christmas break. Right in the heart of the Tulsa Art District, Valkyrie's bar sign caught my eye since Thor: Ragnarok is one of my fav Marvel movies and the Valkyrie are the kickass lady warriors of Asgard. I digress. The interior is modern rustic and comfortable, the cocktails are strong and delicious- (I'm loving their hot drinks; mulled wine and wassail) and the service is great. Definitely a cool bar to kick it with the homies. Odin would be proud! read more

Great whiskey selection with good bartenders in a slick loud atmosphere. We sat at the bar and really enjoyed our cocktails. We came before a comedy show on a sat. and it was packed. read more

This place rules and it rules hard. I am someone who appreciates a fine crafted cocktail and even more so a well crafted beer and if there's somewhere to offer me that, it is here. I am already a regular at Vintage 1740 but this place definitely suits my personality more, it is laid back, in a great location (Brady District) and the crowd, while not abundant was definitely more casual. When I walked in they were playing The Ramones, there was immediate approval on my part and definitely made me feel welcome. They've got a shaken side of their menu and a stirred side, love that touch. I tried a few cocktails and the staff seemed to be knowledgeable in being able to help me choose. I am well read when it comes to bitters, liqueurs, liquors etc, but it is nice to hear the opinion of someone else at times when me spending $10 on a beverage is involved and they've tried it before. The seating is not necessarily ideal for small groups, but for big groups there is 3 large booths and a large couch. For even smaller there is a few small couches and then the entire length of the bar (typical L shape) to enjoy. Staff seemed attentive for the most part but I felt that if there was that many more people they would've lacked in that department. Everything in order, everything clean, cool AC and good music. The bathrooms were simple and clean, only one stall (in the ladies) however you can stare at a great poster of Ryan Gosling while you pee so instant win there. To say I'll be back over and over is an understatement, hell you will probably see me there if you, yes you...stop by. Go there and discover the art of cocktails, one of the most under-appreciated art forms in my opinion. Cheers, Skul, Salud, Prost! read more

This is a nice, grown-up drinks bar. Whisky Sour is buttery smooth and well done, despite being a little sweet for my taste. Service was really great, and very enjoyable place for a quiet drink with friends. read more

What an awesome place! As a first timer, my friends & I were thoroughly impressed! The vibe here is really nice! A+ for the decor & seating options as well as a fantastic selection of craft beers on tap. This is totally a place I could visit each time I come to Tulsa. What impressed me the most here was not just the top-notch drinks, but the creativity around their customer service! My friends & I walked in, had a seat & our server chatted with us about the cocktail menu. We really didn't know what to get, so we told the waiter to "surprise us" (risky, I know- but it felt like a good risk to take.) He got a feel for what we're usually into & let us know that he will be back with our drinks. A few minutes later, he arrived with three glasses & described what they were. I was completely floored! He didn't even know us, but managed to make 3 perfectly crafted cocktails that matched our taste profiles PERFECTLY. Pure magic! Price point is typically what to expect for artisanal cocktails ($10-$14), but don't let that persuade you from treating yo'self to something delicious! read more

Valkyrie - The most delicious custom cocktail in existence! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

Really cool atmosphere. Was very crowded, but then again we arrived around 8 on a Saturday. Staff was amazing. Drinks were very good.

Everything I've ever had from here is great. I'm particularly fond of their old fashioned, sazerac rye, Ramos gin fizz, and some number cucumber drink that is quite tasty. Drink 182 or something ambiguous like that. The bookshelf ladder and shelf is pretty sweet too. read more

Biggest back bar I've ever seen and love their bourbon selection. Place is a bit small for COVID restrictions but this is definitely a great place for cocktails. Great pre dinner cocktail place. read more

Valkyrie is excellence. Pure, craft-cocktailery(I'm so sure that's a word, i'm not even going to look it up). These guys have a passion for what they do, and that is, creating outstanding, classic-yet-invigorated spins on the cocktail. They make their own Ginger Beer, as well as Cola. Both of which are truly breathtaking. Any drinks produced with these are special, but I must highlight the "Dark and Stormy": It's made with Kraken Black Spiced Rum and Valkyrie's Ginger Beer. It's difficult to accurately describe the refreshing deliciousness of this drink, without having two or three to "refresh" my memory. Recently, I embarked on a "Manhattan Tour" of the Brady District. The plan was to see who serves the best Manhattan. Valkyrie was one of the two winners that night. Their version of the drink is unique, while slickly retaining it's originality. If that makes sense? Valkyrie is an absolutely wonderful bar, full of atmosphere, great people, even greater drinks, and 100% positivity. Date night? Um, yes- to put it lightly. read more

I'm not sure if there's a better place to grab a drink in Tulsa. We usually begin and end our nights here but now that they serve food... there's really no need for us to go anywhere lol... We love their drink menu: Very creative and lots of different drinks to suit your tastes. Personally, I love bourbon and they have done an outstanding job of curating the best. I love that my usual favorites are here, but I also enjoy all the bourbons that the bartenders introduce me to that I've never heard before. I LOVE their Old Fashioned. It's a can't miss! read more
