I'm headed to the Tulsa/Broken Arrow next week.
I'll pretty much have one or two nights to do anything.
Any must sees?

Tulsa looks like Bham from the road.

He said pretty cool bar districts.
I'd recommend looking for a bourbon barrel stout.

As much as I would like to partake... The Mrs wouldn't care for it.
I'm in Beeville Texas tonight and just spent a few hours drinking right by a bunch of young drunk Tulsa backwards.
There is nothing more disappointing in this world than having to tell a hot drunk woman, "no, I'm married"

Then I recommend score's bar sir.
Not 10s or anything but was surprised at what I saw there for a town this size.

Nope I'll be down on the river just outside of Dinero. We'll be in Beeville to have supper with my friend's mom and then back to the river.

Its actually rather clean and decent for a city that size.
Brookside or some such shite is the hipster hood, but I haven't been there in like 10 years.
Cain's Ballroom, airport, and Utica Square shopping district are about all I am familiar with.

Wifey and I stayed there a day when we moved to Missouri. Nice little town. The shopping center they have downtown is pretty cool. There's a steakhouse down there (Fleming's) that's legit.
Should be a good time for y'all.

Well what do you like or want to know about the city?
I've lived in both S. Tulsa and Broken Arrow. I can point you to restaurants and maybe give some tips on getting around the city. It's super easy. It's a grid, there's lots of road work around town though. I moved back to NWA a few months ago for a job.
Must sees in Tulsa? Negative. There are none.
Cool spots? There's a few. a few.
Give me an idea of what how you'd usually spend some down time and I can help you out with things that fit in your tastes and a couple out of the box things as well.

I used to spend a good bit of time in Tulsa. It's not a bad place, but not super exciting. There is adequate upscale dining, lots of chains and an okay bar scene.
Honestly, the place I remember most was the White Lion Pub. Good times, especially on the nights they had live music.

Agreed. Tulsa is OK. That's a good description. Its not bad as far as cities go, but its too small to have anything cool, and big enough to have a little bit of ghetto, but not much.
The best thing I ever did in Tulsa were the two Art museums there, one's the Gilcrese, can't think of the other at the moment. Its a very easy city to get around because of the grid.
ETA: the other museum is the Philbrook. Cool Italianate mansion.

Beer with good food is all I ask for. I like some music as well.
Honestly I enjoy finding really good dives in all the towns I visit.

OK.
Here's a few of my little hidden spots.
On 51st, just West of Memorial is a place called "Steak Stuffers USA" it's a cheese steak joint that's been there since the 1950's or 60's. It's legit. Here's the kicker, only open M-F, 11-8pm. Ran by the family still, they're old, they don't give a frick. Building's been paid off for 40+ years, they work because they like what they do, not because they have to.
In the Blue Dome District which is just NE of downtown go to the Hunt Club or McNellie's. If you're in town on Fri. the 21st the Klondike 5 is playing at the Hunt Club. They're a cheap version of the jamgrass bands you'd see in Fayetteville. If you were in town on the 26th I'd say go see the Ben Miller Band at Cain's.
Brookside is a good bar district. It runs parallel to the River on Peoria St. Starts around 33rd and the bars end about 41st. There's a Whole Foods on 41st and Peoria, get you a couple choco chip cookies there. There's a ton of restaurants on Brookside too. A mix of everything.
Utica Square is a the higher end shopping area in midtown, 21st is kind of the demarcation line. I lived in the 21st and Harvard area. Burger Street has a decent burger, but Ron's Chili is kind of a local favorite. Braum's is probably the best fast food burger outside of In n' Out.
Steaks; Fleming's is in Utica Square it's a chain ran by the Outback group. Other's love Mahogany Prime, I'm a bit partial to Doe's.
Another good pub is Baker St., one of my good buddies from the day is the GM there, It's on Memorial north of 71st. 71st from Woodland Hills Mall going East into Broken Arrow is full of chain restaurants, that whole area has anything you could desire. However, there's a chicago style pizza place called Marley's that's pretty good. Gusano's franchise in Tulsa shut down, but there's a place called Infuzion that took over the space it's supposedly pretty good too. It's at 101st and Mingo. On 71st (Kenosha in BA) is a pizza chain called Top That! they're all large personal size pizzas that's pretty good as well and under $8 for a quick lunch.
BBQ: Don't even frick around go to Oklahoma Joe's it's right by the Bass Pro Shop off of the BA Expressway. The mexican restaurant by Bass Pro is pretty good too. Tulsa's Tex-Mex choices are nowhere near as good as OKC's.
Cherry St. (15th) is also a bar district and there's some restaurants there too. Doe's Eat Place is located in that area. Doe's and Jamil's are the better steaks in Tulsa, though Jamil's service can be shittastic.
Don't go on the North side there's nothing there. It's the dark side of town, but it's still not terribly ghetto like other cities. 61st and Lewis by Southern Hills and ORU is by far the worst area of Tulsa.

Thanks. That's great info.
My job involves going into school districts setting stuff up and then breaking their network after hours. And bringing it back up.
Usually I get to get out around 6 so hopefully I'll get out in time to try some of those out.
