Pubs in OKC? (Oklahoma City, Tulsa: apartment complex, job, hospital)

[Lillywhite]

Hi everyone. I just moved to OKC to work at OUHSC. I'm from the UK originally. I've started a couple of threads on here before about the move.

I've been here a few weeks now and am still settling in. I'm finding it fairly tough so far (mostly all the driving) but I'm sure I'll work it out. I'm wanting some reccommendations for some decent bars/pubs. I'm looking for places that have a youngish crowd (but not high school kids obviously) where it would be suitable to go in alone to wind down at the end of the day and have a beer. There's a couple of bars near my apartment complex but they're kinda rough. I also went in Tapwerks but it was completely dead.

Any ideas?

Tapwerks is usually pretty busy, along with bricktown. But since you are from the UK you are probably more accustomed to more foot traffic than the norm.
Currently the best pub in town would probably be McNellies Public House located in midtown. Its in the Plaza Court building which is near St. Anthonys hospital.
McNellies - Oklahoma City
There are many other great bars and establishments such as VZDs on Western ave. Western Ave. has many entertainment options.
VZD's Restaurant & Club
Here is a basic list...
Dan McGuinness Pub
Bricktown Brewery
Fox & Hound Pub & Grille
Half-Time Sports Grill
Edna's
By George
Galileos- in Paseo district (many nice establishments in this district)
Flip's
Red Rooster Bar & Grill
Isis
Sauced
The Prohibition Room-In the gold dome
Coyote Ugly Saloon- opening soon in btown.

McNellie's has my vote. It originated from the one in Tulsa. Same owner.

The owner did a great job, although he took forever with the opening, by trying to make everthing over the top perfect. The sweet potato fries and burgers are great.

I don't eat meat...so I'm all about the portobello burger and the sweet potato french fries. Don't forget those fried pickles!!! I think I'm getting very hungry now (lol)!

Im not in OKC but I was through there last year and had a blast at a place called Edsels. It was in a shopping center and close to a Waffle House.
