Anything can Happen Feeling That
Tulsa might be known as boomtown for its origins as an oil city, but today it’s booming with a new kind of prosperity. Every region and neighborhood of Tulsa offers something unique for visitors and residents alike, which is why we compile this City Guide every year at TulsaPeople. From festivals that come annually to the arts, sports and staples in between, there’s always something to do in Tulsa.
For those of us putting it together, City Guide is an exciting time to reflect on all the ways the city has changed in just 365 days. It’s my hope that with this issue in hand, Tulsans will celebrate all Tulsa has to offer and support the local businesses, organizations and individuals making our city a destination.
Happy reading!

TULSA'S BEST PATIOS
Wild Fork
Located in bustling Utica Square, Wild Fork is a Tulsa destination for brunch, lunch and upscale dinner fare. The patio, which runs along Utica’s courtyard, is an excellent spot for lingering over late morning mimosas or sharing a cast-iron skillet of mini cinnamon rolls.
1820 UTICA SQUARE | 918-742-0712 | WILDFORKTULSA.COM
McNellie’s
With scores of beers on tap and over 250 more in cans/bottles, McNellie’s is the go-to place for beer aficionados or those looking to tuck into some delicious pub food. Whether you want to take in the downtown atmosphere or enjoy south Tulsa, both McNellie’s locations are excellent options for sharing breezy patio cheers with friends.
409 E. FIRST ST. | 918-382-7468
7031 S. ZURICH AVE. | 918-933-5250 MCNELLIES.COM
In the Raw Vu and On the Hill
These two Tulsa locations of In the Raw feature breathtaking Tulsa skyline views. The south Tulsa patio (On the Hill) is a favorite for capturing the sunset over the city and the downtown rooftop location (Vu) is fantastic if you want to feel like a part of the sunset itself. Nosh on nigiri or rolls routinely voted Best Sushi in the city. If raw fish isn’t your thing, go for a gourmet filet, or bowl of noodles or rice.

Bohemian Woodfire Pizza and Homemade Pasta
Located in downtown’s hip East Village District, this pizzeria boasts one of the coziest courtyard patios in town. Sip on Instagram-worthy cocktails and enjoy woodfired pizzas topped with sumptuous toppings such as pancetta, fresh mozzarella, Castelvetrano olives and Prosciutto di Parma. Bohemian offers blankets and the warmth of heat lamps in the winter, so don’t let the cold months scare you off from experiencing this patio gem.

Climb Tulsa
Located just off the Broken Arrow Expressway at South Yale Avenue, the hardto-miss Climb Tulsa facility is among the largest climbing gyms in the nation.
It offers 17,000 square feet in which to train or climb for fun and is accommodating to all ages, founder Jason Burks says. For younger climbers, the gym has a separate, less difficult climbing area and hosts various kids’ camps that teach climbing skills.
An avid climber himself, Burks had seen massive climbing gyms in various cities across the country. He decided Tulsa needed something similar. “You’re not going to find a city the size of Tulsa with a gym this cool,” he says.
