The White Lion is a hidden jewel. Tucked away in a row of office buildings off of 71st street, it's easy to miss. Inside the "office building" exterior you'll find the closest thing in Tulsa to a real English pub. Small, crowded, dark, broken up into several small rooms with mismatched antique tables and chairs and an ambiance that is authentically European. I love this place which is surprising since the food is authentic English food.
Which is to say, pretty bland, unexciting, English. But not bad. Their beer selection, on the other hand, is outstanding. They have Shepherd's pie, bangers and mash, fish and chips and some items they will have to explain to you. The cheese board is a great appetizer and SO European.
We highly recommend this very surprising bit of Europe in Tulsa, but remember: it IS English food.

- Long-time Tulsans, we really love this town and we frequently eat out. We're not gourmets but enjoy good food and good service. In addition to our comments on restaurants, we will remember a few which are no longer with us such as Pennington's, the Nine of Cups, The Middle Path, and so forth. Local restaurants are preferred to chain or corporate restaurants. We'll comment on burger joints as well as the "upscale" places. We might even report on our worst experiences in restaurants at places now, thankfully, expectedly closed. We'd love to hear your feedback and suggestions.
