About this Neighborhood

The Oil Capital Historic District commemorates Tulsa's early-20th-century oil boom, when the city was known as the Oil Capital of the World, and today it's a lively downtown quarter. It holds 45 restaurants, nine coffee shops, three groceries, three parks, and two fitness spots. The 2,837 Yelp reviews average a high 4.7, with standouts like Sisserou's Caribbean Restaurant & Catering, Rose Rock Microcreamery, and Valkyrie. Foursquare's tastes sketch a well-rounded downtown: American restaurants, coffee shops, a pizzeria, bars, sushi, a concert hall, a deli, and a shopping plaza. It's a historic core that has grown into one of Tulsa's more energetic dining-and-nightlife stretches.
