Gorgeous outdoor patio, extensive craft cocktails, wine/beer selection and of course, their mainstay: specialty wood-fired pizzas that are worth writing home about. Part of the patio is covered seating so it is even nice on rainy days. Call for their live music schedule: (918) 895-6999

Drinks & Nightlife
Cocktails lovingly made to order with just about any spirit, liquor, or infusion you could ask for. I recommend trying the Creole Colada (Peychaud's bitters, cognac, coconut, lime, pineapple, rum float). Extensive wine and beer list. Gourmet small and large plates. Not just a nightclub, cold brew and locally-sourced specialty coffees also available in the mornings. Swank atmosphere with well-considered lighting and old-school record player. Always wonderful service from their baristas, sommeliers, and bartenders. (918) 398-4470

If you want to go a little farther afield to bar hop, I highly recommend Valkyrie. Excellently crafted cocktails, extensive wine and beer list, and lovely, newly-renovated interior. A little on the spendy side.

Parks & Nature
Extensive trails just West of the river. We don't have mountains, but some of the trails get pretty hilly. Excellent for mountain biking, hiking, and dog walking!

Essentials
Downtown Bodega that can fill all of your travel grocery and toiletry needs. Excellent selection of junk food, libations, and they make a killer grilled cheese on the cheap during lunch on weekdays.

Shopping
My favorite artisan craft and home goods store in all of Tulsa. Newly opened location: 107 M.L.K. Jr Blvd, Tulsa, OK 74103. I highly recommend. Great for one-of-a-kind local gifts to take back to your dwelling or family and friends.
