My first night ever in Oklahoma in town for business. I stopped into Pub W for a beer and some dinner. I sat at the bar and had a great time. Solid craft beer selection. I had shrimp tacos, which were good but a little greasy. Best of all the bar tenders were super cool and I met some good people at the bar. read more

Pubdub (am I cool enough to call it that? probably not if I had to ask), anyway, Pub W is a nice addition to the Memorial madness chain restaurant area. I have been two times now, once for a work lunch with a big group of coworkers (good place for a big weekday group lunch, they got us in and out quickly), and once for a Sunday brunch. Food - for lunch I tried the fried shrimp which I'm not sure they have on the menu anymore? It was pretty good and the tartar sauce was real tasty. Several of my coworkers got the Farm Fresh Chicken Salad and it was a big hit. For brunch I had The Killer B's burger, it was really yummy as well. My husband got The Chupacabra (be sure to ask for the spicy pulled chicken) and really enjoyed it. And the mimosa's are only $2 at brunch and boast fresh squeezed oj. $10 well spent ;) Place - lots of TV's (but not overly loud), tons of seating and tables you can push together for big groups watching the game, etc. No patio that I know of at the Memorial location, I believe that must be just the Norman one. read more

Excellent vibe. Excellent selections of local craft beer. I tried the Chipotle Meatloaf. Wish they had one of these out East. Awesome spot. read more

I'd been wanting to try out Pub W and heard great things about the one in Norman. We finally tried it out and I liked it a lot. Great beer selection and great bar food too! We started with the fried Brussels sprouts, which were definitely Oklahoma-style fried. When I've had fried Brussels sprouts before, they've been lightly pan-fried with just a little bit of a crispy coating, but these were deep fried. I'm not complaining, they were delicious, just different from what I was expecting. For dinner, I had the Cool Bries sandwich, which was a grilled chicken sandwich with apple slices, fig preserves and brie cheese. It was so good and definitely fancier than what I expected from a pub menu. I had it with sweet potato fries, which were also really good. All in all, we enjoyed Pub W and there were some other yummy-sounding menu options, so I'm sure we'll be back! read more

Good place; recently opened. Remodeled from old Wes Welker's pub. Another Hal Smith restaurant. I would say this one is a little more upscale based upon prices, attire of most of guests. Full bar; very, very good selection of scotches, bourbons, wines etc. from a sports bar that most are used to in this area. Service was good and attentive. Good team concept as more than one person waited on us; brought food and drinks. Managers stopped by and checked in. Lots of TV's to watch sports. It's mostly the same floorplan as Welker's used to be but it's "upgraded" in style a bit. Fairly dark inside. Lots of seafood choices. I would say their portions are a bit small for the price but the food was definitely good. read more

I come here often; love the bartenders, love the sports venue, but if you are a 'sports bar" know how to work the remote, figure out the lineup prior to that day. Have the TVs on the highlighted games. Have some strategy; train your people to know the sports channels. Shouldn't that be training after hire? Just sayin.... read more

My friend and I decided to try something low key. So what better than a pub. I should have ordered pub food though. I got the Pot Roast, which was nothing like the slow roasted taste I was use to. Don't get me wrong, it was not gross. Just not what it could be. The gravy was thick and clunky. I like my potatoes smooth, which of course is just a preference. They have chunky mashed potatoes there and I actually liked them. The side of brussels sprouts were good as well. I'll try to order something they hopefully specialize in if I return. Oh and the menu is very small. Nice atmosphere and service. read more

Pub W - Pub W Pot Roast - Pubs Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Absolutely the slowest and most unpleasant experience thus far. 20 min for drink order, had to flag our waiter down to even place a food order. 45 min later we asked for fruit to keep our child calm while waiting for even our appetizer. Another 10 goes by our server is bussing tables and doing closing duties. Both tables beside us have placed orders, eaten and have since left. My very upset wife who is never ever one to get up and talk to a manager finds one, asks for a fruit cup or some sort of snack to calm her down. She says okay; goes and to run other tables food. Comes back to ask us how things are, still no fruit or snack. I said we are about to leave. All I need is something to get on my daughters tummy to calm her down. She finally get it and brings it right out. Still no appetizer. Another 10 goes by, food comes out with appetizer. Everything is cold. And to top it off, he forgot to place my daughter order of pigs in a blanket, just ended it boxing it up. To sum it up, my wife and I are one of the younger couples around are frequently treated like our money isn't as good as the couples next to us. It's now over an hour in, my daughters food has still yet to arrive. Our waiter is still focused on other tables and lacking to pay attention. We have missed our movie. Food was cold. We Will not be back. Awful. Don't bring children here either. The bar tenders over serve the patrons, they'll be loudly talking obscenities. Then another customer called them out for cussing and "they don't care it's a fu@#ing bar". Don't waste your time at this establishment. Followed these people drunk driving to Louie's, almost hit a motorcycle rider on a double lane change without signaling. Called the police also! . read more

As walking in restaurant music sounded relax and chilled, walked into a great bar, great beer selection and super friendly and well knowledgeable bar staff! (Heart of any restaurant), decided to order my so not ordinary ceviche, to my surprise it was Delicious!!!! For main entree I decided for a Wedge salad and Filet, neither-less to say flawless!! Filet came out as ordered Medium Rare, juicy,tender and wedge salad perfect! Drinks perfectly made to expects.. Def making this one of my favorite places to make it a favorite to go place. Thumbs up!! read more

Perfect place to get a local beer (the selection was awesome). We went to watch some games at the great bar area and the food was extremely good and fresh! Will return! read more

Great service, great food, I walked out of the poor restaurant next door (couple of peaks) where they were rude. Highly recommend the W. read more

We stopped in here to try a new place for an evening out. The atmosphere was great and staff was welcoming. Our server was knowledgeable about the drink and food options and offered great suggestions that did not disappoint. We tried the Habanero Pimento BLT and Carnitas Tacos, both were delicious. Probably the best BLT I've ever had. We will be new regulars to Pub W! read more

Mama's chicken casserole was hot hot hot, burn your tongue hot, and the fried Brussels were peppery and tasty. Happy hour is nice for the area and plenty of TV's for all you sports fans! Lots of staff. I swear we had 5 waiters! And we're not high maintenance. We will return! read more

Great sports bar. The Norman location is a bit nicer and not nearly as loud. Ok, we were there while the OKC Thunder beat the Spurs, but even the TVs were too loud. Nearly impossible to carry on any sort of conversation. The food is very good. The spicy shrimp tacos are outstanding. Nice selection of beer and some killer mixed drinks read more

My first few trips to Pub W were just ok. The food was just so-so and the wine list had decent options, but none of them stood out as a favorite. All of that changed after discovering their Roasted Poblano Corn Chowder and Mama's Chicken Casserole. I met a friend for happy hour one afternoon and wanted something to snack on so I ordered a cup of the corn chowder. My only regret was not ordering a bowl as this chowder was perfection in a cup! It was the perfect consistency and had some heat with the poblano without being overpowering. For dinner, I planned on ordering something to take home that could also heat up well since I wouldn't be eating it right away. Mama's Chicken Casserole fit the bill perfectly! The chicken and rice base with lots of cheesy goodness melted on top and finished off with tortilla chips for crunch make it the perfect comfort food. It's also the perfect serving size that fills you up, but doesn't leave you miserably stuffed like some casseroles can. This dish is normally served with black beans and they are a nice compliment, but nothing special. The other night, I substituted the balsamic glazed Brussels sprouts and they were great! My other food recommendation is the Pot Roast Potachos. They're served on homemade potato chips and the pot roast is super flavorful and they really bring the heat with the bbq sauce and the grilled jalapeños. This could easily be a meal by itself or is a great appetizer for sharing! As far as wine goes, the Layer Cake Chardonnay is just ok. However, on my last visit, I tried the Caymus Conundrum, which is a white blend and I now have a new favorite! My husband and I used to frequent this place when it was Wes Welker's and with the discovery of some tasty menu items, I'm happy to say that it's back on the normal rotation! read more

Pub W - Beer flight! So fun! - Pubs Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

This place is fantastic! My husband & I love their happy hour, beer selection, food, service & environment. We continue to come back for date night, to watch a game, out with friends , whatever the occasion. The prices are excellent & you get top notch quality. We were impressed to see beer on tap from Cascade Brewery which we visited this summer in Portland. This place is awesome! read more

Had an early dinner at Pub W. The great local tap selection got me here and it did not disappoint! The bartenders both knew a lot about the different beers and guided me to what I should try. The avocado burger was great and I was in and out in less than 45 minutes! read more

This place came highly recommended but we cannot find why. To start seats and booths very uncomfortable, few tables that are not pub height. Ordered margarita while hubby and daughter passed on a drink. It was the absolute worst thing I have ever tasted trying to pass as a margarita. Had to send back. Daughter ordered buffalo burger and said it was okay, hubby had the chicken fried steak and said Grandy's was better. I was so excited to see they had salmon. Ordered it and was so disappointed. The kale and spinach was greasy, the rice was dry and while the salmon was cooked well it was flavorless. The only highlight of the meal were the pretzels with cheese sauce and a good creme brulee. Total came to over $60 and was definitely not worth it. Will not be back. read more

Pub w was great. Has a lot of great potions to choose from. I like trying their feature meals and drinks for the month.

First time here since it changed from Wes Welker's, and the layout and overall decor was the same as the previous restaurant. The same owners (Hal Smith Restaurant Group) have kept the place just rebranded the name, so that probably is the reason for the decor staying the same. Friendly and attentive staff on a Tuesday night. Sat at the bar with a friend and we were pleasantly surprised at the amount of beer on tap and in stock in bottles as well. We both got the Chili-lime chicken salad which was really good: fresh, not spicy but a good background chili flavor, and a good portion size. Well presented. The overall menu was a bit pricey though, with our salads being $12 each. Great place to watch several sporting events going on at one time. With the amount of TVs they had hanging up, you wouldn't have to miss anything going on on any given night. read more

I really enjoy this pub. The staff has always been friendly and the drinks are really good! The atmosphere is fun! Always a good time here!

Service is pretty good. Pub W has a great brunch. It's not crowded on the weekends. I enjoy bringing my co workers for lunch because it's close to the office. read more

My chipotle meatloaf was excellent, although very spicy. The fresh green beans were wonderful! The mashed potatoes were as good as any I've had. My husband got the pretzel burger and fries. He said the burger was cooked perfectly, and really liked it. The fries were better than average. We sat on the patio, which was nice and quiet. My only negative comment is that the service was kind of lacking in attention on the patio. But all in all, we will happily return to Pub W. read more

Good food, great drinks. Wine down Wednesdays are a great deal! Love the onion dip and fresh chips :)

When I tell people the food in CA is better, this place embodies what I'm talking about! This meatloaf is not the plain, boring, flavorless meat loaf your mom makes that you can find in any restaurant in OK. They ventured outside the box to put cheese, sausage, bacon and jalapeños in this meatloaf. Reminds me of home! read more

Had lunch at the Pub W before heading out. The Chipotle meatloaf was great. Has a little spice to it, and has a light sweet BBQ sauce drizzled over the top. In my short time on Oklahoma I ate here 4 times. Each time the food and service were amazing. Rachael and Brice were the bartenders and gave really good service. If your in the ariea and would like a sports bar type of feel, but with top notch food and drinks at a reasonable price. I highly recommend this place. read more

The food and environment were fantastic! I really enjoyed the beer selection, it is hard to find a place with a lot of craft beers, this place nailed it. I will definitely visit this place again.

What a delightful dining experience. We got right in - busy but not crazy. Waitress was prompt and pleasant. Hubs had a local brew Estrella duar . He liked it. We chose burgers for our meal him the blue cheese- me the turkey club on a pretzel bun... both were to die for and not expensive... walking distance to our hotel too!! Definitely going back read more

If you like pretty good food and the ability to watch sports at the same time, they have some great TVs that are in good locations. Will be coming with coworkers pretty regularly. Especially this fall read more

The menu clearly has a vegan burger on it, however we were told they no longer have the vegan burger. That is the only reason I went so this restaurant no longer serves a purpose for me now. One star until they get more vegan options that aren't just fries and hummus. read more

Great food. Service is always pretty decent. No complaints! Love. Love, love the pretzels!

My first visit here for lunch. I ordered the spicy shrimp tacos and was not disappointed. The service was excellent too. I'm especially liked the cold water brought in bottles to the table. I look forward to going again. read more

Pub W - Spicy shrimp tacos - better than they look! - Pubs Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

After having just moved from California this place is a great escape. The food and drinks are exceptional. There's a decent amount of variety of craft beers from all over, so I was able to enjoy my familiar California favors but also test out some new Oklahoman brews. I do wish there were more choices on the wine and cider list though! The flavor of the food has been fantastic each visit. I appreciate that there's an area of the restaurant where it's not so sports-bar type, just wish I could have sat in that section the last time I went! read more

Our waitress was slow... she was just standing back by the bathrooms. She left her shift in the middle of our dining experience and didn't introduce our table to a new waitress. The food was okay. Not a very good experience. read more

This is my husband's and my go-to weekend brunch place. There is hardly ever a line and everything we have eaten here has been delicious. The service is always great and the food is always top-notch. We've tried the pancakes, chicken and waffles, steak and eggs, migas, biscuits and gravy, and huevos rancheros breakfasts. The chicken and waffles & migas are time for my favorite brunch items. The breakfast potatoes are one of our favorite things on the menu! The brunch mimosas are perfectly balanced as well. We've also enjoyed many of their regular menu sandwiches/burgers and enjoyed them all. Honestly, I could eat every meal here. Definitely a staple north of the Turnpike. read more
