First Impression
The wine list at Elgin Park reads exactly like the restaurant feels — approachable, unfussy, and built for the person who wants something good without having to think too hard about it. It's a gastropub list in the best sense: not trying to impress anyone, just trying to keep your glass full while you work through a burger. The pricing, though, is where things get genuinely interesting.
Selection Deep Dive
The list leans on California and Pacific Northwest workhorses — your Black Stallion Cabs, your Murphy Goode Pinots, the kind of bottles that show up on a hundred restaurant lists across the country. France gets a nod, but don't expect anything deep from the Rhône or Loire. There are no real surprises here in terms of producers or regions, and anyone looking for grower Champagne or an interesting Italian is going to be disappointed. That said, for a neighborhood spot in Brookside that's primarily a beer destination, the wine program punches reasonably above its weight.
By the Glass
Eight to twelve by-the-glass options cover the basics without much adventure — a Pinot Grigio, a Sauv Blanc, a Riesling, a Chardonnay, a Pinot Noir, and a Cab anchor the program. Rotation doesn't appear to be a priority here, and you're not going to find anything seasonal or surprising poured by the glass. What you will find is every glass priced well below what comparable restaurants charge, which goes a long way.
Hess Select Cabernet Sauvignon — $11
At $11 a glass for a Napa-adjacent Cab that retails around $16, this is the clearest value on the list. It's not a cellar-worthy bottle, but it's a solid, fruit-forward pour at a price that's hard to argue with over a burger.
Charles Smith Kung Fu Girl Riesling
Most people see 'Riesling' on a casual American restaurant list and keep scrolling — that's a mistake here. At $8 a glass for a bottle that retails at $13, Washington State's most recognizable Riesling is slightly off-dry, food-friendly, and one of the better-built glasses on the menu.
Murphy Goode Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir is the hardest variety to do well at this price point, and Murphy Goode isn't doing it. At $8 a glass it's technically fair value, but you're getting thin, jammy California Pinot that lacks the structure or finesse the grape deserves. The Cab or the Riesling are better calls.
Black Stallion Estate Chardonnay + Appetizer board
Black Stallion's Chardonnay has enough oak and body to hold up to rich spreads and cheeses without steamrolling lighter components. It's the kind of easy, crowd-pleasing white that works well when you're sharing plates and nobody wants to debate what to order.
✔️ The Bottom Line
Elgin Park isn't a wine destination, and it knows it — but those glass prices are legitimately some of the fairest markups you'll find at a sit-down restaurant in Tulsa. Come for the beer, stay for a surprisingly affordable pour.
