Went to have dinner with my mother around 5:40pm after having been recommended the fish and chips. We were immediately sat but in a back room with what was probably a company holiday party that had already been there awhile. That group was obnoxiously loud and we couldn't hear ourselves think so we asked to be moved and we were quickly moved to another section. Thankfully our server, I'm sorry I forgot to get her name, was able to still take care of us and we were happily able to enjoy the rest of our meal. They had a good selection of local beers on draft which was a major plus. The pigs in a blanket appetizer was adorable and delicious. The fish and chips were absolutely worthy of the anticipation. My mother had to tell the server how good it was and the server engaged in pleasant conversation about seafood in Oklahoma, well beyond just the friendly 'thank you' you would get from most. You know it was a good experience when my mother says "I'm going to leave her a ten dollar tip!" Of course I added a bit more. read more

You see this place from the outside and you have heard of the brand then you very likely would give them a 4 or 5. I've ate at other Pub W's and had a much better experience! Here are my ratings and reason for them. Cleanliness/decor(3) decor was slightly modern, cleanliness appeared to be great until I looked up and saw the ceiling fan that was going and the cord hanging from the light both caked in dust. This sort of made me loose my appetite. It's a good thing I had already eaten. Professionalism(5)The establishment was handled and well maintained Customer service(2.5) we went the whole time though drinks, appetizers and even sat 5 min or more before getting our silverware, the manager apologizes and the waitress says out loud in a sarcastic tone to him "thanks to the hostess" We had 13 people and she messed up and short changed all the people who paid with cash, even though she took each order on its own separate clip board and did it two feet from our table. She had mixed up cash and change laying all out by the register. We brought it to her attention and her response was "yea it's hard to keep up with this many people" I'm thinking maybe she should find a new job if she cannot handle change and everyone of her mistakes she has to blame on someone else. Price for food quality(3) this was fair but a little overpriced for lunch. Taste of food(3.5) it was ok, I was told my tacos had shredded chicken but they actually had cubes chicken which I do not like so I did not finish them. Others at the table seemed to like their food pretty well. read more

Great food , tons of options for everyone. Service is usually solid, and the atmosphere works for any day or time of the week.

Man, the food was excellent. We ordered 2 of the brusselsprouts after the first plate emptied too fast. Everything was great. Sat outside because you know, COVID :( we had the Chupacabra, the spicy shrimp tacos and some basic wings. It was perfect. Hate the water carafes because the water is lukewarm. Oh well. read more

I've been to Pub W for lunch, dinner, and just to watch a game. It's a large joint, comfortable with plenty of seating. Plenty of parking as well. They have a well thought out beer list. It's not enormous, but the variety is there, they've got some brews that aren't as common, and they usually have a few seasonal selections. If you are a beer drinker, you're sure to find something that suits you. As far as appetizers go, I've gone with the hot wings and the famous pretzels with BLVD cheese sauce. I am not a huge pretzel guy, but these things are pretty good. The cheese sauce is fantastic, it's tangy, and you definitely get a taste of the beer in the sauce. You can add it to your meal for a buck, which I recommend if you get something with fries. But, as good as the pretzels are, the wings are my favorite. They are all large, very well sauced, and prepared perfectly. There are no duds when you order wings at Pub W. I am going to get several orders to go next time I have people over to watch a game. The hot could be a little hotter for me, but that is nitpicking. These are some large and juicy wings, the way they should be. I've had two burgers: the Theta and the Jalapeno Bacon Burger. I always order my burgers medium, and once at Pub W it was cooked perfectly. The other time, it was cooked all the way through. I understand that places tend to err on the side of caution when it comes to the doneness of the meat, but I wish they wouldn't ask if they are just going to ignore your requested temperature. Of the two burgers, I preferred the jalapeno burger. There are a lot of jalapeno slivers, and the spicy aioli is fantastic. I love a good Theta, but the pretzel bun was too thick for me. It overpowered the burger. I think this would be better served on a regular bun. I've ordered both the sweet potato fries and regular French fries. I like both. The sweet potato fries are pretty standard. The regular fries have what appears to be a beer batter, so you get a nice crunch. An order of either is good size and represents a good value. Pub W has a great atmosphere, and the food is a step up from your traditional "bar food." Hopefully this place has a long life in Brookhaven Village. [500th Review. So, I spend way too much time on Yelp.] read more

One of my favorite places to be. Whether it's watching a game, happy hour with a friend, or just looking for a variety of foods to choose from on the menu, this place nails it every time. read more

Good food. Great staff. We went on a Sunday. Had the pretzel appetizer, chicken & waffles, carnitas tacos. All delicious.

I've always had a great experience. Great food, great beer selection, affordable prices, and family friendly. I'd love to see a return of the crispy tamales to the brunch menu but I'm happy with the current selection. read more

My review could honestly be two words.... Idaho Nachos!!!!!! I crave these things and will make special trips there for a good Pint of Guiness and a plate of Idaho Nachos.. always add the Pulled pork! I'll let their description speak for itself! house potato chips . cheddar . bacon . sour cream . chives add pulled pork..... read more

Really good food! Went in for lunch, and there was no wait. Pimento cheese balls are seriously so good!

Came here for the wine down Wednesday and had a great time. Our group tried several meals and we loved them all. Service was great, food came out super fast and you really can't beat $15 wine bottles! read more

First let me start off with safety. As we walked in staff were cleaning the door knobs, everyone wore masks and counters were clean, wiped down and clear of clutter. We opened with three specialty cocktails which were all fantastic. Our appetizers choices were the pretzels, Idaho nachos and the squash hush puppies. For entrees we had the chupacabra sandwich, fried chicken and the fisherman's platter. We enjoyed all of them and had leftovers to take home. We sat outdoors in their small patio area but tables were separated it was a very nice area. The Oklahoma weather cooperated and it was a fantastic family dinner. read more

This was my first time here for brunch. The music was FIRE. Great brunch music played on the overhead speaker. They took a little while on our food, but they did comp our appetizers. The mimosas are a good deal - $7/carafe and it's a pretty good size. My food was great, although the eggs were a bit runny. My eggs were scrambled (the only way eggs should be ordered). Portions were good, and being that Pub W is slightly upper-scale, I still feel it was fairly priced. 3.5 stars is my official rating. I would return. read more

The good news is that this place got a facelift when it changed names. The bad news is that the quality of the bbq remains at an all time low. The bbq sauce from head country is the best thing here. We tried the brisket and they don't chop it. It was incredibly dry and lacked any kind of smoky flavor. Do they even have a smoker on site? I honestly feel like the brisket I had was cooked in an oven. Maybe I am wrong but this place needs some help. read more

One of the best places in town to eat. The menu is varied with updated versions of good, comfort food and creative salads. A lot of choices for appetizers. They have outdoor patio seats on the east side of the restaurant, booths and tables inside. There us a U shaped bar. My favorite for lunch is the Farm Fresh Chicken Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette dressing, served with crispy (but not hard) baguette slices. We also like the Avocado Toast. Go there often with girl friends for lunch. They have a great breakfast menu also. My husband and I eat dinner there often and he always gets the Fish and Chips. You honestly can't get a bad meal here. The music is really good. I hear selections I've either never heard before or haven't heard in a long time. Pleasant experience! read more

We love to walk here from our nearby neighborhood and eat on the patio for a casual, relaxing date night! Our favorite local spot.

I've been here twice now and both times were yummy! They have mimosas you can buy by the carafe, which is really nice. I've also tried the watermelon fresca and strawberry fields. I loved the watermelon fresca! It was so light and refreshing, but I didn't feel the alcohol at all. The strawberry fields was sweet and with a hint of basil. Yum! The Chupacabra burger is amazing and I got it with a side of the poblano corn soup. The soup was so good! I wish I got a bowl of it or something. Another time I got the chicken and waffles and treated myself with a side of sunny side eggs to go along with it. Best idea I had that day. The bourbon maple syrup was so good, I had no need for the regular stuff next to it. read more

The food was good but my entire party was charged 2x the list price for multiple glasses of wine each. When it was brought up to the server, she responded that the menu was outdated and nothing was done to correct the mistake, which is unacceptable. The mistake was then reported to the manager and still, nothing was done. We will not be returning. read more

the cheeseburger was amazing. defently recommend the cheeseburger. delivery was good. i

Pub W Norman is hands down the best location! A nice variety on the menu made to order any way you want. Great drink specials daily and televisions everywhere if you don't want to miss a game. From burgers to oysters, loaded mashed potatoes to roasted brussel sprouts there is something for everyone. I personally love the ahi tuna cerviche! read more

Very cool place in a great selection of beer. I was starving and it was about 10:30, I wish the kitchen had been open try some of the food but I understand since there was only three of us in the place on a Wednesday night. read more

My husband and I tried Pub W for the first time today. I have to say, we were very disappointed. The food was OK. But it was nothing special and WAY OVERPRICED for what we got. I had seen the menu on the website and had something picked out,, but the menu was very abbreviated when we got one. What I wanted to order wasnt on there. I asked the server how big were the burger patties - 1/4, 1/3 or 1/2 lb. She didn't know. We both ordered the avocado burger with fries. I ordered sweet potato fries. They would have been good, but they were WAY over salted. The burger toppings were very skimpy. Not even close to being worth $15. Very disappointed. We tried it but won't be back. read more

First time in. Not that great. Over priced for the selection. And, a very weird sauce on the burger. Off our list.

Good service but atmosphere is absent of any character. Must have ordered the wrong menu items because cheese dip and pigs in blanket were either not prepared right(burned, greasy) or low standard of food is acceptable to serve and not quality checked. Observed other tables getting food taken off their bill as well. I don't recommend if you value quality food. read more

After touring OU with our high school-age son, my wife and I were searching for a place where we could get some simple seafood since we are Catholic and it was a Friday in Lent. Saw Fish and Chips on the menu during a quick mobile search and decided on Pub W. My heart sank a little when we discovered it was in a busy shopping center but we pushed on. It proved to be a wise decision. It was Raw Oyster Friday so I had six on the half shell and they were scrumptious! We had one order of fish and chips, one order of spicy shrimp tacos and a veggie pizza. I'll never know if we just happened in at the right moment but all three dishes were knocked out of the park! Flavourful hot well seasoned, fresh and simply delicious! Service was prompt efficient courteous and professional. Refills on drinks showed up without asking. All in all, this was just the kind of experience I keep my fingers crossed for every time I go out to eat. Next time I'm in Norman you bet I'll make it a point to visit Pub W! read more

I absolutely love the steps they have taken to keep everyone safe in their establishment! We have introduced many friends and family to Pub W as a premier spot for dinner or weekend brunch in Norman!! The food is delicious and top notch!! The bourbon glaze for the waffles is my favorite!! read more

I had the fish and chips tonite and they were delicious. The hush puppies are made from squash and taste wonderful. The porter/ stout selection washed this meal down nicely. read more

Ate here today for the first time. We had the pig in a blanket and onion dip for appetizer. My boyfriend got the meatloaf and I had the chicken salad with lemon vinegarette. It was all really good. I had the Pub W margarita. It was a pretty small cocktail, had a different twist on the classic margarita but it was tasty. We sat on the patio, it was really nice. read more

My friend group, co-workers, and my family all love PubW! Before Covid hit, I often said It reminded me of Cheers! All the staff especially bartenders, really try to get to know their customers! Like most of the world, a lot has changed since 2020! When we go to Pub W now, I can say the standards of service haven't changed and the food and drinks are spot on. read more

I like chillin in the upstairs bar. Good vibes and I have some options on tap beer wise. I like heavy IPAs and while places are starting to carry them more and more, it's still difficult to find decent selections locally in Norman. Have only tried a couple snacks here and they were pretty good. I just like the vibe for a Norman hang out more than anything else read more

I really hope that I just visited this place on one of their bad nights because I thought the food was well below mediocre and the service was horrible. Ordered the fried chicken and was amazed at the waiters dramatic attempt to convince me that the plate was hot only to discover that it was ice cold as was the food. May try it again sometime just to see if maybe they were having a bad night, but not anytime soon. read more

Have tried several of their items (fried chicken on Sunday, chicken sandwich, hot wings) and everything I've tried has been good. They have a great ambiance, which is something that was really needed in northwest Norman. As a regular at several places in NW Norman, I have been anxiously awaiting this place's opening. I am NOT disappointed one little bit! read more

One of my favorite restaurant/bars in Norman. The Pub W burger is delicious, with a pretzel bun, beer cheese, and fried egg. I love their beer-battered fries. The loaded fries appetizer is also great. Beer menu is solid (good number of drafts and bottles). And they have very good (and strong!) cocktails. If you like variety, they have a draft flight...4 4oz pours of ANY draft (except seasonals). They have nightly specials, and I hear the weekend brunch is pretty good. Small outdoor patio, booths, and TV-packed bar area provide a variety of experiences. read more

I hate to leave this review but the service is seriously lacking. They are ALWAYS so slow!!!!!! Always! It's sad because we like the food but the service is ridiculous. The manager runs around everywhere shaking hands with people but needs to be concerned with service. We went tonight and it was a 20 minutes wait every time we ordered a drink. We are going to have to find another place to eat... read more

3.8 stars: Man oh man, I want to high-five whoever is in charge of the beverage program. I'm a beer snob, and let me tell you that The Force is strong with these guys when it comes to beer. They have rotating taps with beers that are actually halfway hard to get (and at times, completely rare like when they had the Founder's KBS or the Prairie/Mikkeller collboration IPA. Seriously? GREAT job guys!). They have all the scotches and whiskies that the average Okie could be interested in, I think. I didn't really check the wine menu, and that wouldn't be all that helpful anyway. I've always had good service here, so I don't think you need to worry about that. The food is always better than OK. It's not, like, mindblowing. But I'v enever been disappointed. But then again, I never think: dang yo, I need some of that Pub W Grub ASAP! I think you're likely to find something you like to eat here, and be pleased that you ordered it. I like the hummus, the chupacabra sandwich. You can tell it's a Hal Smith kind of place. Some of the foods and concepts seem a bit...recycled or something. The food is probably a hair on the expensive side, but not obnoxiously so. There's an underlying corporate feel that makes it less neighborly than it might otherwise be...? (This is coming from a local though; if you're an out-of-towner, then this kind of concern probably isn't applicable). So my one gripe out this place is a fundamental gripe: I'm not sure what kind of place it is. Is it really a pub? Well, it's called a pub and they have a fabulous beer menu and upstairs is a pretty neat/fun cigar bar area. It feels kind of trendy and hip. But so often, I'm in this place and it's all really quiet diners. White cloth napkins; nice new tables. It encourages people to treat it more as a casual restaurant (think: Charleston's, but not as nice or tasty). I don't know if I am supposed to get smashed and yell at NASCAR, or whether I am supposed to order a wine flight and make snooty comments about the floral bouquets and mouthfeel. This is a nice place. This is a fun place. Service and ambiance are very good. Good is fine. Beer is awesome. We like to go to Pub Dub. read more

Okay... This place is delicious! Their hummus appetizer and nachos are so good. I cannot wait to go back. My husband loves it because of all the televisions... Can you say sports? Both times I have gone I ate the chupacabra. It has a really nice and surprising kick to it. I haven't been able to order anything else because I know how good the chupacabra is. Basically this place is amazing! Give it a try for yourself:) read more
