The Tavern

A downtown Italian-American restaurant and bar that nails the chophouse-meets-tavern formula — hand-tossed pizzas, burgers, steaks, and a whiskey list deep enough to get lost in. The leather booths and dim lighting give it old-school downtown energy, and the late-night menu keeps the kitchen open when most of Tulsa has gone to bed. It's the kind of restaurant where deals get made over handshakes and a second round.
