I was headed home a few weekends ago and came across a great new pub here in Tulsa, Willie’s Bar located at 3161 S 129th East Ave… between Duffy’s and the Seoul Korean - Japanese market - diagonally across from Warehouse Market. (31st and 129th)
Willies has 4 pool tables, 2 dart boards and the only jukebox I have found in Tulsa that has both Garth Brooks and my personal favorite, Billy Joel!
No brews on tap at this time, but a bottle of most domestic beer is 2.00 and you can buy a Bud and a shot of just about anything for $4.00.
On Friday nights Willies features live LOCAL musical entertainment and on Saturdays it’s OPEN MIC night.
The staff is friendly and the crowd is made up of some great local Tulsans… the hard working class, most of whom live near Willies.
The crowds are small right now at Willies but I don’t expect that to last too long, because with the great bartenders on staff and the friendly clientele, Willies is sure to become a favorite!
Their phone number: 918-622-5656
UPDATE: Willie’s has been sold and should re-open by mid July. I’ll post here once they are open again. Rumor has it that only ownership has changed but for the most part the staff and overall bar itself will remain unchanged.

Ok, Willies is under new ownweship… and it’s now called Dixies!
Yep, it is now called Dixies and draws a friendly crowd.
Current bar staff includes, Andy (Andrea), Heidi, Lynn and Shari. The Digital Jukebox is still there and has thousands of choices. They’ve downsized from 4 pool tables to 3 to make room for more pub tables.
They feature great local Tulsa music from time to time.
Dixie is also Biker friendly - I don’t think I’ve seen such a varied mix of people at a pub in a long time.
