What a fantastic place. As authentic as it get in the US I think. The food is outstanding and the owners are a joy! Go ahead...try the mushy peas. I'm not a fan of regular peas but I like mushy peas. Google to see how they are made. They are not just smooshed up regular peas. read more

A Tulsa classic! I love meeting friends here for both food and drink. Long live the White Lion!

Amazing customer service and very tasty pasty! Owner was very sweet and so was the waitress :) read more

The food was great and authentic, I had the bangers and mash, and they were phenomenal. The older British gentleman who helps run the establishment was so nice, and the place definitely had a good, pub-like ambiance. I highly recommend for an authentic meal straight from the UK. read more

Very much like a local English pup that is wonderfully decorated. English food, fish and chips, bangers and mash are good. Peter/ "Peta" the host can be entertaining. The Guinness and other beers are even better. Great place to visit with some friends. And don't forget to take your picture with the Queen at the entry! read more

Old world, English pub charm. Fantastic atmosphere. The food is excellent. The owner, Betty, is very charming and has established a great restaurant. read more

Terrific spot! Atmosphere is a Ten. Great English pub menu, great beer menu, and a great staff!!!

Excellent English cuisine and fantastic English Pub atmosphere. We went last night for our 2nd time and it is always fabulous. I had the Devonshire, a tasty English make on chicken pot pie and wife had a beef pie ( I forget the name). It was delicious also. We can't wait till next time. read more

One of the coolest places in town. Do yourself a favor and get the baked Brie, Taste of the Midlands, and a Brown Bitter. You will not regret it. read more

Went here tonight. Heard great things from coworkers but never saw many cars. We stood by from door for 5 minutes with servers and staff passing us without introduction or offering help. We were told to "go sit in the corner" eventually. We ordered Diet Coke and good at same time. Never received Diet Coke. Food arrived after 45 min - I never received water refill. My glass was bone dry and I ate all the ice. Only good thing was food. It was HOT (temperature) and fresh. Had to wave my hand to get a check. Walking out- servers smoking behind building. read more

Do you want to go to a place that feels like you are in a lovely home in the English Countryside? Do you want to sit by a fire and a cozy room in a wingback chair and sip on a scotch? Do you want traditional British food that tastes amazing? Then look no further! Go immediately and see Miss Betty and her husband and they will take care of you for sure. You kind of don't expect this little house next to Quick Trip off of 71st and Yale but once you walk in you are transported to a family home that is cozy and smells delicious. I always get the Lord Chester which is a puff pastry stuffed with mashed potatoes and cheese. I just love it so much. Served with chips it just doesn't get any more comfort food like. I don't get to go here as much as I used to but everytime I'm on that side of town I make it a point to stop by even if just for a drink! read more

White Lion - British Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

Great food and service! FYI, they don't have a bar you can sit at... I walked in looking for a bar to sit, eat, and drink at, but they don't have one in the multiple separate rooms that the restaurant is made of. I ended up just sitting at the table closest to where the drinks were prepared (I had a long day). The bartender creating the drinks was so nice and made sure I had another beer as soon as I finished the first (he knows what's up). I got the Taste of the Midlands. It was comforting and felt homemade from a little loving grandma who just wants to feed you and see you happy as you shove all the goodness into your mouth. The peas that came on the side were room temp which I thought was weird, but I just scooped them into my cottage pie and it was all good. Make sure to use the HP Brown sauce they have to dip your fries, or chips, into! You can also squirt it on your cottage pie - it's pretty good. If I'm ever in Tulsa again, I'd come here to eat. read more

White Lion - Brown sauce! Better than ketchup - make sure to dip your fries in it! - British Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

I really enjoyed the atmosphere and had a lot of fun. The food is great, but the people are the best reason to go. The owner and his wife are halarious and I have not been to England, but my coworkers that were with me said it is very authentic. read more

I don't often give 5 stars, i save them for places that have the whole package. You should know this is a legit english pub. Prob the only true pub in the whole state. If you like quiet don't shy away, no drunk ppl, and separate rooms for the non pub-ish type folks (there is a huge difference between a bar and a pub) in fact if you want the real deal skip the Scottish place around the block (yes they're Scottish with an Irish/American menu and they are my fav regular spot but...the food and service here is way better) come here at least once. I should really come here more, I find the hours weird but thats bc this is a family run biz. They for reals MAKE the food, only serve a handful of beers on tap but they are irish/english beers not bud, and truly care about your enjoyment of their food. I had the cottage pie but there were several things that looked gud. Okay I'm going to go have a nap now bc I have that warm fuzzy feeling that you usually only get from a gud home made meal...that you didn't cook read more

This place has great drinks and the scenery is awesome! The food is like home cooked style. The service was amazing! And their extra dirty martini was the best! read more

Had a great time, I tried the cottage pie and thought it was delish. The atmosphere does a good job of giving off that British pub feel. Highly recommend. read more

I really wanted to love this place, the reviews were good, the photos were spot on, and i love a good pub - wherever they may be. Very convenient to the hotel we were staying at so off we go. Parking was, well to put it mildly - nonexistent. Parked on the street, which normally would not have had a problem with except it was raining rather hard when we got there. The restaurant was small, looks like an old house, very similar to many pubs in England and Scotland I've been to. Tables were small and close together, given COVID that made me a little nervous but several were unoccupied so it was ok Service was quite good and they had Smethwick's on draft which was nice. We ordered the fish and chips - the gold standard of pub food everywhere. Very disappointing, the mushy peas - spot on, the chips pretty good, the fish reminded me of the fish sticks we got in the cafeteria in middle school. Two small, flat heavily breaded filets with the minimal amount of fish in each one. Pretty tasteless in my opinion. They did have several pies on the menu that i hope would be better, but i can't say. My recommendation - try it at your own risk. read more

Absolutely amazing!!! Very authentic and just an amazing atmosphere. You will not be disappointed!

We just finished having a delightful English Pub dinner. Food was piping hot and very tasty. We also enjoyed drinking a White Lion Brown Ale made by the Cabin Boys Brewery. We look forward to our next dinner eats at the White Lion Pub. read more

Dim and dingy, like Britain; and there's nothing wrong with that if you're into atmospheric British pub. The food here is close to authentic British food: simple and comfort. If you're looking for complicated drinks, do not come here, since they only do the classics, and they do it well! I love my gin martini here. Oh, and there's The Queen welcoming you once you step inside. Cool place to relax with a good British meal. read more

Really neat atmosphere- very Brit Pub chic. My disappointment is their pasties aren't made with a hearty crust like my grandma's.

Great service! Had the Devonshire with a side of gravy and it was absolutely delicious! You must ask to add the gravy on the side.

Average food at best. Fun atmosphere. I had the burger and it was not fantastic by any means- everyone seemed to like the fish and chips better than everything else. read more

This place is an absolute hidden gem in Tulsa. Understated and comfortable, the homey atmosphere in the White Lion is perfect for catching up with friends and quiet conversation. The food is excellent and authentic, and the staff is fantastic. You can't miss stopping in! read more

Charming and quaint, this little pub makes me feel like I'm back vacationing in England again! The ambiance, the food, and the service are as perfect as can be. For Tulsa, this is a rare and unique find - an authentic British pub. The food is delicious no matter what you choose. We got the sausage rolls appetizer, delicious, and I ordered the chicken and mushroom pot pie. The pie crust was so flaky and wonderful, and the white sauce was perfectly savory. The fish and chips are incredible (get the mashed peas as your side, you won't regret it), and the Taste of the Midlands was perhaps my favorite dish of all - minced meat and mashed potatoes in one amazing pot pie. The best part of our experience was without a doubt the service. Our waiter, presumably the owner of the restaurant, was friendly and helpful, offering us samples of their specialty beer and a free slice of delicious chocolate fudge cake at the end of the meal (I was stuffed but I devoured every bite). He made us feel like welcomed guests rather than merely customers in a restaurant, which is I think what really makes this place special. read more

White Lion - Chicken & mushroom pot pie - British Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

White Lion is a hidden gem. The atmosphere, the food! I have never been to the UK but I imagine I am there when I visit White Lion

The food was great, and so was the beer. I can definitely reccomend the sausage rolls, and the house beer. The fish and chips were perfect, and the beef pasty was awesome! I was bit unsure about the side of mushy peas, but they were really good too! Service was fast and attentive. We couldn't have asked for a better dinner, and I'm not sure why we hadn't tried their food sooner! read more

Feels like an English pub! Delicious hearty food and fun atmosphere!

Very unique place in Tulsa their fish and chips is amazing. Nice selection of beer and always great company.

A local pub, good food, definite British vibe... I want to take this lace home with me. A pint of brown bitter complements everything we had. You can't go wrong with bangers and mash or cottage pie. read more

A wonderful escape. Quiet and pleasant and very interesting little English pub w specials, desserts, and great foods. A friend who'd just returned from outside London said this was just like being there again to his delight. So relax and kick back w a beer and some good food. read more

LOVE this place! In the mood to try something new... found this gem on Yelp. Excellent food, cool vibe, and wonderful service! Will definitely be back! read more

So far, this is my favorite restaurant in Tulsa. I found this place on Yelp because I was hankering fish and chips. Who knew Yelp had a category for that? Anyway, the place wasn't too far and the reviews were all good, so I went. First, the people are wonderful. Peter met me at the door and showed me to my seat and then Kelly took my order. Betty (the owner) was there too, and she's absolutely charming. I think they said the bartender's name was Bruce but I wasn't quite sure. I was having iced tea so I didn't get to interact with him at all. The room is cozy and well-appointed (meaning they have a lot of junk all over the place). It gives you something to look at. The menu is small but everything looked good. I only had one goal, however, so I stuck to my plan. The fish and chips comes with something called mushy peas. Whatever. How bad could they be? I ordered an iced tea and waited. The wait was not long and I tried the mushy peas. First, I should clarify that I do have a bit of a sweet tooth. Mushy peas are unique. They are peas that are allowed to dry out on the vine and then are harvested. They soak overnight before being cooked and they come out like green mush. But they have a sweetness to them that makes them really delicious. I could have eaten a plate of nothing but these peas and been just as happy. The fish was delicious; flaky, golden and crunchy. They have the malt vinegar on the table for the die-hards but for those of us who can't get away from being American, they also serve tartar sauce. Kelly made sure I had enough of that (bless her heart). After dinner I had a little tour of the restaurant and found that there are several rooms, all small and equally charming. The Winston Churchill room is where I'd like to be next time. I loved the way it was set up but all the rooms are adorable. Like I said, this is my new favorite restaurant in Tulsa so if you go, look for me. It won't be long before I go back again. read more

This place has character. If you went off the initial entry you might feel slightly confused, but also distracted and intrigued by the decor and the various rooms you see when you enter the front door. Let start with the fact that I've been to this place probably 4 times maybe over the course of a year or so and it's never let me down. Strangely enough I walked in tonight on 9/19/17 and stumbled across a scotch tasting going on here for $65 for a 4 course meal. I couldn't believe my luck. Dave Marshall was the guide for this Pros: -it's a British style pub and restaurant - the beer they called Brown Bitters which is Smithwicks and Newcastle if I recall read more

I hate writing reviews for my favorite places because I want to keep them for myself! My husband is originally from Birmingham (of the English variety) and he/we lived in San Diego for 6.5 years prior to moving to OKC. One of my chief tasks was to find a British pub. We trek from OKC to the White Lion because it's authentic English pub. First, call ahead! They don't turn tables so if you don't get lucky when you come in, you won't want to wait for a table. Second, order the sausage rolls. I haven't had any that good since our last trip to the motherland. Third, look around for old reminders of home. Another reviewer pointed out that you feel like you're in someone's home in England. I dare say that's because most pub owners live in an attachment to the pub. But I respectfully disagree--it's decorated just like a British pub. Betty's son took great care to make it feel as authentic as possible and Betty and Peter take care of the food and customer service side. The only thing they're missing, for me, is sticky toffee pudding. But I won't deduct any points because I love this place too much! read more

Be on the look out for White Lion because it's tucked away near 71st and Yale. You won't want to miss out on coming to this English restaurant/pub. I found White Lion through Yelp after I had the sudden urge to get my hands on some beef wellington. I researched places that might serve this dish and found the great reviews. Unfortunately beef wellington is only served as their special, but I did get something that I felt was comparable and equally tasty! We also ordered sausage rolls for our appetizer and it was quite delicious. Overall I really liked White Lion and definitely recommend it! read more

As a Liverpool England boy, transplanted to this wonderful country I was taken to the White Lion Public House not really expecting much. Boy was I wrong. I can tell you this was as authentic as an English Pub should be. Even the outside had a tree growing through the roof. Betty the charming owner, welcomes you personally in her inimitable English style. Have the Fuller ESB brown split beer, which is a mix pint of an Amber and Brown ale. Delicious. The food is tasty traditional pub style and cooked beautifully. The cozy rooms and interesting artifacts, are genuine. Trust me. Betty and her family live above the pub, again very traditional English Pub. You feel as though Betty has welcomed you into her home. If you think you're a football fan, and I mean the real football, be prepared as Betty is a rabid Liverpool FC supporter, and during our meal I got into some trash taking with an Arsenal fan. It's was fun and teasing so Betty cued up our famous You'll Never Walk Alone song which we all sang, much to his disdain. This is more than a pint of beer and steak and kidney pie. It's an experience I highly recommend. Could not fault it, but I am a Liverpool boy after all. YNWA Betty. read more

In town on business and looking for something different. I found this place and had a great time. Converted downstairs of a house and what a pub should be. Great beer, great conversation and the owner is fantastic. We just sat and talked, felt like talking to family. I'm definitely going back next time I'm in town. Oh, and No televisions to distract from the atmosphere. read more
