This article will explain three options in Tulsa, Oklahoma for St. Patrick’s Day food and fun. Can it really be true that there are authentic Irish-style pubs in the heart of the Midwest? The answer is a resounding yes, and these establishments run the gamut from spacious (McNellie’s) to quaint (Arnie’s Bar) with a good bit of both in the third (Kilkenny’s). Each location is open until 2 a.m., and all serve stronger and tastier brews than the 3.2 stuff found in Tulsa stores. Most of the beers at these events are under $10, with some larger sizes up to $20. Food prices are generally well under $10, with some meals running up to $20-$30 for a spread.
Jacobi E. McNellie’s Publicae (in breviaries);
409 East 1st Street, Tulsa, OK (918) 382-7468
Located in Tulsa’s “east end” entertainment district, McNellie’s is a stunning pub that has two outstanding features: the awesome, glowing wood that fills the place; and an incredible wall of beer on tap. With over 300 beers available, the variety is awesome. Visit the View Beer Menu page to see what’s available in front of you. The food is solid, fairly standard pub fare (appetizers, sandwiches, several entrees) and there is also a smoking area upstairs. Very spacious, McNellie strives to create a very social atmosphere where no one ever seems a stranger.
Arnie’s Bar
318 E. 2nd Street (918)-583-0797
Just two blocks from McNellie’s, Arnie’s Bar is an old local tradition that has been moving downtown for the past decade. Arnie’s is a place that visitors to Tulsa consistently say feels like a neighborhood Irish bar much smaller than anywhere else in the Eastern US. than the other two things, the best bet if Arnie hopes to visit Serenity and grab a spot on the patio. This tree covered spot feels like a small park in the city. Check out their site, as Arnie’s sometimes has bands and covers charges. As with McNellie’s, Arnie’s is located on the east end and street parking is sometimes available in this area. Public transportation can be busy at night, but Tulsa Transit and various private bus and Trolley/Cus operators can be found.
Kilkenny Irish Pub
1413 East 15th Street, Tulsa, OK (918) 582-8282
Kilkenny is located about 2.5 miles from the other two pubs, and is located on Cherry Street in Tulsa rather than downtown. This is probably Tulsa’s most reliable Irish pub, as there are over 1 million building fixtures and fittings in Ireland to match measurements and specifications. from a building in Tulsa. Less open than McNellie’s, but much bigger than Arnie’s, Kilkenny’s is definitely the best when it comes to food (try the Butter Slip Burger and their awesome draft beer selection!). And while the number of beers and other drinks is much smaller than what McNellie’s offers, there are still plenty of St. Patrick’s Day choices on Day‘s mother
