Rob O.

My wife and I were searching for unique places to eat in Tulsa and stumbled across the White Lion Pub. Within just a few minutes we had met the owner and were exchanging stories about London (he was born there, we vacationed there). I had the fish and chips and hands down it was better than the one I had in London. The Guinness is cold, the people are friendly, and the food was fantastic. This just became a must stop for us anytime we're in town!

A British in the midst of south Tulsa! Great pub environment, great draft beer selections, great fish/chips, and great service. Parking is weird so park on the street. They said it was ok.

Atmosphere

Cute pub atmosphere. Staff attentive. Owner even checked on us. We had the chicken Devonshire and fish and chips. Both were good.

Service was outstanding we learned about the history of there family and the food! Looking forward to coming back I'd highly recommend a reservation. Crab dip was exceptional! Fish and chips were pretty awesome being 7,325km from London.

Why haven't we been eating here before? We came for dinner here for first time tonight and are listening to Beatles classics as we write this. The word that comes to mind immediately when walking in is "quaint" but it's even better than quaint! The Taste of the Midlands is a wonderful take on cottage pie. Just throw the peas right in. This piping hot bowl was full of delicious chunky meat in a delish gravy sauce. The fish and chips were crispy on the outside yet flaky and delicate within. Really feels like home.

A nice glass of wine whilst enjoying the ambiance.

If you want a true pub experience then White Lion is your place. Greeted promptly and offered a choice of beers and spirits. We were given suggestions for beer and menu items. They have themed events that I I plan to attend!The walls are covered in decor and pictures and articles. Cozy! That's the word for this place! I can't wait to go back!

I know that people have really strong feelings about this place one way or the other so I'm just gonna be brave about this and charge on. It had been several years since I actually had ate here, and my husband had never been, so we made a date of it! As as soon as you walk in the door, you know you're at someplace special. The interior of this restaurant immediately transports you to that green island across the sea. We started our evening with appetizers, one from their OktoberFest menu (the sausage balls) and another from their regular menu (the goat and cream cheese plate). The sausage balls are flavorful and filled with sausage, cabbage, and cheese. It's fried almost like an arancini and they serve three of them with a sauce that neither of us could quite identify, but I'm sure it was on the menu description. I am not a big fan of cabbage, even if it is something that you can't really taste it in so this wasn't my personal favorite. My husband said it needed just a little bit more seasoning, but it was otherwise delicious. Out of the two, my favorite was the goat cheese which was served with a toasted bread. For our mains, I got the classic Guinness steak pie with the brown gravy, and my husband got the fish and chips. Hands-down, you cannot beat this steak pie! The crust was delicious, the filling was seasoned just right and the brown gravy around it was just perfection. For the side I switched out the seasoned vegetables for the green beans. The green beans were still crunchy in a good way, and seasoned with salt pepper and a little bit of garlic. This is brought out in a shareable size and paired well with the hardiness of the steak pie. My husband's fish and chips were unfortunately a little lackluster. For our personal taste, the batter was just a bit too cakey and was really dark. The potato wedges that were served with it were decent. Though for our personal taste, I wish that they had been dropped a little bit longer in the fryer. They have an in-house tartar sauce that they put olives in. If you're like my husband, you might want to steer clear and just grab the malt vinegar or ketchup instead. It wasn't bad, he just doesn't like olives.‍ Our server was really kind and attentive, even though he was running about half of the tables in the restaurant! We definitely will be back to try more of the menu and plan to bring family in as they enjoy an Irish pub scene as well. I'm giving them a 4 star review because I can't give them a 3.5. and I like to round up. I think a lot of of what we experienced was just personal preference and like I said we do plan to come back because we have loved ones who will enjoy this. Overall, a great midweek dining experience.

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.
