The wine list at Roosevelt's doesn't try to be something it isn't — and that's actually a compliment. You get a clean, 30-something bottle list that covers enough ground to make a real decision without needing a decoder ring. For a gastropub on Cherry Street, this is well above average effort.
The list spans California, Oregon, Italy, France, Argentina, and even Slovenia, which is a legitimately interesting touch for Tulsa. You've got workhorses like A to Z Pinot Noir and La Posta Malbec sitting alongside a Clos du Mont Olivet Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Billecart-Salmon Brut Rosé — that's a real range of ambition. The Italian side is modest but functional with Spasso Pinot Grigio and Frico Rosso handling the everyday lifting. Where it falls short is depth within any single region; this is a broad list, not a deep one.
Ten-plus options by the glass is genuinely solid for a gastropub, running $9–$13 a pour — pricing that won't make you wince. The glass program pulls from across the list, so you're not stuck with the bottom shelf just because you don't want a full bottle. Rotation appears limited, so don't expect seasonal surprises.
La Posta Malbec, Mendoza — $32
La Posta consistently punches above its weight — structured, fruit-forward, and built for a burger or a charcuterie board. At the low end of the bottle range, it's the easiest yes on the list.
Pullus White Blend, Slovenia
Most tables at a Cherry Street gastropub are going to reach for the California Chardonnay and call it a night. The Pullus from Slovenia is the move — crisp, mineral-driven, and a genuine conversation starter. It's the only thing on the list that signals someone actually cared.
Raywood Moscato, Central Coast
Nothing wrong with Moscato as a category, but this one is grocery-store territory and feels out of place next to the more considered picks around it. The pour price isn't punishing, but your glass is better spent elsewhere.
Clos du Mont Olivet Châteauneuf-du-Pape + House-made charcuterie board
A Grenache-dominant Châteauneuf brings enough earthy richness and red fruit weight to stand up to cured meats and aged cheese without bulldozing them. It's the most ambitious bottle on the list and the charcuterie is where it earns its keep.
✔️ The Bottom Line
Roosevelt's is exactly what a good neighborhood gastropub wine list should be — approachable prices, enough range to keep it interesting, and at least a few bottles worth getting excited about. We'd absolutely send a friend here and tell them to skip the Moscato.
Midtown · Tulsa · Classic American Steakhouse and Continental Fine Dining
Celebrity is a Tulsa institution for a reason, and the wine list does exactly what it needs to do for a white-tablecloth steakhouse crowd — no more, no less. Send a friend here for the prime rib and a bottle of Jordan; just don't send them expecting to be surprised.

Mondo's wine list won't blow anyone's mind, but it does its job honestly — fair prices, decent Italian representation, and enough options to keep a table happy all night. Send your friends here for dinner without hesitation; just steer them toward the Allegrini instead of the Meiomi.

Brookside / Peoria corridor · Tulsa · Italian
Prossimo is doing the right things with wine in a city where many restaurants don't bother — the Italian focus is genuine and the top-shelf picks show range. The markups keep it from being a great wine destination, but as a neighborhood Italian with a real list, it earns its place.

Cherry Street · Tulsa · Creole and Cajun
Nola's is a genuinely fun place to eat Creole food in Tulsa, but the wine list is an afterthought dressed up in nice stemware. Lean hard into the cocktail menu or bring your own bottle — check if they have a corkage policy, because that might be your best move here.

Brookside · Tulsa · Modern American
Oren is the kind of wine list that makes you recalibrate your expectations for a mid-size city. It's not a deep cellar and there's no half-price night to celebrate, but the curation is thoughtful, the markups are mostly honest, and the picks are the kind you'd expect from a much bigger food scene. Worth ordering from the list — not just the cocktail menu.

Brady Arts District · Tulsa · Craft cocktail bar with beer and wine
Valkyrie is a cocktail bar first and a wine bar never, but the list has more backbone than it has any right to. Come for the drinks, stay curious about the Gamay.

La Frontera · Round Rock · Gastropub
The Brass Tap Round Rock isn't trying to be a wine destination, and the wine list reflects that with complete honesty. Order the beer, or if you're committed to wine, grab the Oyster Bay and make peace with your surroundings.

Toyota Music Factory / Las Colinas · Irving · Gastropub
Thirsty Lion isn't a wine destination — it's a pre-show pit stop with a decent enough list and markups that won't insult you. Come on a Wednesday, order a bottle of Meiomi at half price, eat a burger, and catch your show. That's the move.

Downtown · Worcester · Gastropub
Armsby Abbey is not a wine destination — it's a world-class beer bar that stocks a wine list so no one at the table feels left out. Respect it for what it is, lean into the Garnacha or the Prosecco, and spend the rest of your mental energy on the tap list.
