Sitting right in the heart of Tulsa’s vibrant Cherry Street district, Roosevelt’s Gastropub has earned its reputation as one of Oklahoma’s most celebrated independent restaurants — a place where an in-house bakery, an 80-tap craft beer program, and a seasonally rotating menu come together under one very well-decorated roof.
It’s the kind of spot that feels equally at home for a casual weekday lunch or a memorable Saturday night out, and Tulsans have been filling its seats with well-deserved enthusiasm ever since it opened. 🙌
How Roosevelt’s Won Tulsa’s Hearts
Roosevelt’s didn’t arrive quietly. It came in with house-made brioche buns, 80 craft beer taps, and a menu bold enough to put beef tenderloin next to a fried chicken sandwich — and Tulsa responded exactly the way you’d hope.
What set this Cherry Street gastropub apart from the very beginning was its commitment to doing things properly in-house: the bread is baked on-site daily, the corned beef is house-cured, and the menu rotates with the farmers market, meaning there’s always something new worth trying..
The in-house bakery is perhaps the most quietly powerful weapon in Roosevelt’s arsenal — when your burger arrives on a house-baked brioche bun, every other gastropub bun in town suddenly feels like an afterthought.
Pair that with a wine list curated by sommeliers, a cocktail menu that rotates with the seasons, and a brunch program that changes weekly, and you have a restaurant that refuses to sit still or get comfortable.
That relentless creativity, combined with genuine local ownership and a warm, community-minded energy, is exactly what turned Roosevelt’s into the kind of locally-owned Tulsa restaurant that people genuinely brag about to out-of-town guests. ❤️
Ranked consistently among the top restaurants in Tulsa, Roosevelt’s has proven that a gastropub can be approachable and sophisticated at the same time — and that you really can have outstanding craft beer and an 8-oz beef tenderloin on the same menu. 🥩🍺
