71st Street Depot

Service is always great and the bar is always fully stocked. Jukebox, pool, they at least used to have the trivia games (didn’t see them last time I went, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t still there and if they’re not, management bring them back please!), TVs, good lighting to see well but not blinding, and the general volume is good for conversation. The usual atmosphere is laid back.

71^st St. Depot has been a place I’ve been coming to over the years when meeting a few friends who don’t mind a smoky atmosphere just to hang out over some drinks. They always have a game or two on, there are a couple pool tables, and ample room on the wrap-​around bar and additional table seating. Beer specials during games are about $ 6/​pitcher $ 10/​bucket for domestics. They also run happy hour specials.
One of my favorite features is that they are one of the places around down that host the online trivia which you can play either from your phone or a gaming device they have at the bar. It’s fun to play against your friends or even other tables that might be participating as well. The service is decent and at about 73^rd & Mingo it’s an easy break away from the «busy-​ness» that is the 71^st Street corridor. So bring some friends and come check it out.

Outside was a little unwelcoming but that was short lived as a super cute and very friendly bartender named Lauren greeted me warmly! Limited tap selection but the friendly bartender more than made up for it! Lots of locals so you’ll get that stare when you come in but they were also friendly and welcoming. Lots of TVs so a great place to watch the game as I was told they had Sunday ticket as well. I didn’t get a chance to try the food but was given great advice where to go for a nice steak. Stop in ask for Lauren!

This is certainly a dive bar. This location is tucked behind a building where I would not have seen it if I wasn’t looking. For it. The selection of beer is much better here than the other dive bars I’ve been to in Tulsa. I highly recommend the cream beer, tastes a lot like cream soda. Delicious. Of course they have the lovely pbr as well. When I came in, nickleback was playing on the jukebox, so I wasn’t too excited to be there. However, the music did get a little better. There was a fight going on during closing which didn’t surprise me. I doubt I will return because it’s not exactly my cup of tea, but I think every tulsan should check it out.
