Arnie's Bar is Tulsa's premier Irish pub. The bar is named after its founder, Arnie Simmons, who opened the pub in 1956. The bar moved to its current location in 2000, which is historic in its own right. The building was once a Gulf gas station that was specifically built to attract drivers to fill up there. The building's distinctive blue dome remains to this day. Inside, Arnie's remains a great place to grab a traditional Irish brew and converse with some old or new friends.

Skip this bar. There are better bars with nicer people that are worth your time
MoreGreat little dive bar !!! There is inside and outside space. Close (walking distance) to the BOK Center. Bartenders were very nice and quick. Smoking is allowed in the bar, which was fine by me.
MoreTerrible service. Allowed a large group of us to come in at 1:20 am under the assumption they would be open until 2. After spending $50 on drinks our group was informed the bar was immediately closing (1:35 am) and we would not be able to finish our drinks. Owner and bar staff became hostile when we complained. Far better places to spend your money in downtown Tulsa. Don't waste your time.
MoreIt loos like a dive, and that’s exactly what it is. Arnie’s has been around for years as evidenced by the old sign outside. It’s dark and smoky, but also has plenty of fun regulars. Good beer too, Worth a stop if that’s your thing.
MoreIf you are looking for the hottest dance club, this isn’t it. If you are looking for the musing of hipsters, or a poetry slam, this isn’t it. If you are looking for line dancing and the honky-tonk life-style, this isn’t it. If you are looking for a dive bar that has been around for a long time, this is your place. It is smoky and has some interesting characters, and if you go enough times, they might learn your name, like on Cheers. There is a patio area for those that need the fresh air.
