Pub W

Arrived in Norman and this was our first dinner spot. My friend recommended it after having brunch here. We walked in and were able to get a table for two right away. Immediately the waitress stopped by to check in and provide us with water. We opted to start with two wines and the pigs in a blanket. Appetizer arrived and although it was good, it didn’t blow me away. The pigs in a blanket themselves were warm, but the dipping sauce was room temp. From there I ordered the wings & a small house salad. The salad was good, little heavy on the dressing but it did come with egg, tomatoes and croutons. The wings were hot and served with a Bleu cheese dressing which had chunks of Bleu in it and it paired well with the wings. My friend opted for the roast beef, brussel sprouts and mashed potatoes and she gave the thumbs up. Good atmosphere– bar /​pub setting, had tv’s and it wasn’t super loud. Appeared to have a good beer selection and some nightly specials. Overall I would eat here again!

Gave them another try and the food was great this time! Everyone was very pleased and they have new items on the menu.

Really nice, trendy, upscale pub. The Burgers have a nice grilled flavor and the unique flavor combinations make them memorable. The Pot Roast Potachos have great flavor and the Killer Bs Burger blends Bacon, Bleu Cheese and Balsamic nicely. The Brussels Sprouts were lacking salt, but everything else was really good. A definite Norman favorite!

I’ve never been so happy to live 2 minutes away from a restaurant! Pub W is my go-​to for Sunday brunch, Wine Down Wednesday, and Date Night — you seriously can’t go wrong.
They serve brunch on Saturdays and Sundays until 2pm with a limited but incredible brunch menu. I hate to pick favorites because it’s all so good but I’d have to say the Chicken & Waffles and Huevos Rancheros are mouth-​watering goodness. Pair these favorites with the $ 2 mimosas and you have yourself the perfect Sunday brunch!
You can find me here almost every Wednesday evening with my girlfriends for Wine Night! Every Wednesday they offer a different bottle of wine for $ 15 — it’s fun to get to try a variety of wines you might not try otherwise. (Fun Fact: the $ 15 bottles are limited availability so if they don’t sell them all on Wednesday you can ask for the Wine Down Wednesday special Thursday, Friday, and maybe even Saturday if you’re lucky!)
I have to briefly touch of the Pretzel Burger — it’s the best I’ve had thus far. It comes with butter lettuce, tomato, their famous blvd cheese sauce (ask for this on the side), & a fried egg! You must order this on your next trip to Pub W — you won’t be disappointed!

Kay… I love food, but this place did not meet my expectations. My husband and I have a lot of friends that kept telling us to try this place and when we did, we were very disappointed. The flavors just weren’t there, it was all very bland and or missing something. First time, we went for dinner and had their fried brussel sprouts which i did like and my husband had the chicken tenders which were okay. I had the fish and chips. It was all too greasy and very heavy, lacking seasoning.
We thought to ourselves, maybe it’s us and we headed that way for brunch one weekend. No. just no. I had their bloody mary and it tasted like it came out of pre-​made bottle. My husband had the chicken and waffle, if you are into giant frozen eggo waffles, go for it.
I ordered the Migas and again, very underwhelmed. Migas are usually packed with flavor since it’s eggs, jalapenos, peppers, onions, and cheese. The ingredients alone should make this dish amazing but it was lacking.
Their menu has great selections! Maybe if they tweaked their recipes, it may make a big difference.

YUM! Make Pub W part of your regular restaurant go-​tos if you live in the Norman area (or wherever you live). Their brunch, lunch, and dinner are all phenomenal.
My favorites are: to start-​Pub W Smothered Fries, for your meal-​fried chicken Tuesday/​Sundays, OR you can’t go wrong with the Chupacabra, pretzel burger, or chicken salad sandwich. I love getting the sweet potato fries and glazed brussel sprouts as my side. To drink-​anything! They have great bartending staff. This month they featured a spiced Moscow mule. It’s my new favorite drink and am going to try to make a knock off of it at home.
Get there now!

Last stop for girls night, nice place to grab some dessert and coffee and catch up with friends. I love the bread pudding and delicious whiskey sauce that’s served on top of it.
I’ve been there once before for dinner and thought the Irish nachos were tasty. On that trip I had the fish and chips, which were pretty standard, but nothing to write home about. Need to try a few more things from the menu to find something I like. It’s the bread pudding that keeps me coming back.

The staff are very engaging and pleasant. While there, we sampled the Idaho nachos, the Chupacabra sandwich and topped it off with their amazing bread pudding!

Great local pub that is unusual in that they actually have good food. Their salads are wonderful. I love their chicken avocado salad with citrus dressing. They also have good burgers and home style entrees. Their patio is just great when the weather is nice!

Really delicious! Had a wonderful lunch with my daughter Angelina! Started with the soft pretzels and then had spicy shrimp tacos and Migas! Great atmosphere! Our server Kylie was dynamite! service was fantastic! Highly recommend! They’re coming to OKC soon! :)

One of my favorite restaurant/​bars in Norman. The Pub W burger is delicious, with a pretzel bun, beer cheese, and fried egg. I love their beer-​battered fries. The loaded fries appetizer is also great. Beer menu is solid (good number of drafts and bottles). And they have very good (and strong!) cocktails. If you like variety, they have a draft flight…4 4oz pours of ANY draft (except seasonals). They have nightly specials, and I hear the weekend brunch is pretty good. Small outdoor patio, booths, and TV-​packed bar area provide a variety of experiences.

Pub W is a great place to grab and drink and dinner. TLDR; Check it out you will like it.
I have been to Pub W for brunch, lunch and dinner. The brunch is really good and stays pretty busy. We love the burger selection and fries are good as well. I would stick to the sandwiches as everyone one I have had has been spot on.
I have enjoyed the Chicken Salad sandwich and the classic burger. The drink selection is great and they have quite a few beers on tap. I usually stick to Guinness but my wife likes some of their speciality drinks.

I really hope that I just visited this place on one of their bad nights because I thought the food was well below mediocre and the service was horrible. Ordered the fried chicken and was amazed at the waiters dramatic attempt to convince me that the plate was hot only to discover that it was ice cold as was the food.
May try it again sometime just to see if maybe they were having a bad night, but not anytime soon.

Impressing all-​around if you’re looking for an American gastropub experience. Simple menu and attentive staff. The brunch/​lunch menu was delectable. They do not skimp out on their portions, which was a very pleasant surprise. Also, very affordable.
Very satisfactory on our first visit and we’ll most likely return asap.

Okay… This place is delicious! Their hummus appetizer and nachos are so good. I cannot wait to go back. My husband loves it because of all the televisions… Can you say sports?
Both times I have gone I ate the chupacabra. It has a really nice and surprising kick to it. I haven’t been able to order anything else because I know how good the chupacabra is. Basically this place is amazing! Give it a try for yourself:)

I’ve been to Pub W for lunch, dinner, and just to watch a game. It’s a large joint, comfortable with plenty of seating. Plenty of parking as well. They have a well thought out beer list. It’s not enormous, but the variety is there, they’ve got some brews that aren’t as common, and they usually have a few seasonal selections. If you are a beer drinker, you’re sure to find something that suits you.
As far as appetizers go, I’ve gone with the hot wings and the famous pretzels with BLVD cheese sauce. I am not a huge pretzel guy, but these things are pretty good. The cheese sauce is fantastic, it’s tangy, and you definitely get a taste of the beer in the sauce. You can add it to your meal for a buck, which I recommend if you get something with fries. But, as good as the pretzels are, the wings are my favorite. They are all large, very well sauced, and prepared perfectly. There are no duds when you order wings at Pub W. I am going to get several orders to go next time I have people over to watch a game. The hot could be a little hotter for me, but that is nitpicking. These are some large and juicy wings, the way they should be.
I’ve had two burgers: the Theta and the Jalapeño Bacon Burger. I always order my burgers medium, and once at Pub W it was cooked perfectly. The other time, it was cooked all the way through. I understand that places tend to err on the side of caution when it comes to the doneness of the meat, but I wish they wouldn’t ask if they are just going to ignore your requested temperature. Of the two burgers, I preferred the jalapeño burger. There are a lot of jalapeño slivers, and the spicy aioli is fantastic. I love a good Theta, but the pretzel bun was too thick for me. It overpowered the burger. I think this would be better served on a regular bun.
I’ve ordered both the sweet potato fries and regular French fries. I like both. The sweet potato fries are pretty standard. The regular fries have what appears to be a beer batter, so you get a nice crunch. An order of either is good size and represents a good value.
Pub W has a great atmosphere, and the food is a step up from your traditional «bar food.» Hopefully this place has a long life in Brookhaven Village.
[500^th Review. So, I spend way too much time on Unilocal.]

Great food. Good beer selection. The Boulevard cheese sauce is perfection. Maybe a tad overpriced but when the service and quality are this good you don’t mind in the least.

Well, this place was a pleasant surprise. My Husband and I were on our way to Louie’s in Brookhaven for lunch the other day and decided to come here instead. We were glad we did.
They have a great beer selection and samplers available so you can try multiple options.
Their menu is also great. It was really not what I was expecting from somewhere with «pub» in the name. It was pub food-​ish, but stepped up a notch too.
We were their for brunch and they had a nice bruch menu and all the mimosas you could want. The décor was also really nice and the noise level was good — not too loud like you get at some brunch places.
We’ll definitely be back.

3.8 stars:
Man oh man, I want to high-​five whoever is in charge of the beverage program. I’m a beer snob, and let me tell you that The Force is strong with these guys when it comes to beer. They have rotating taps with beers that are actually halfway hard to get (and at times, completely rare like when they had the Founder’s KBS or the Prairie/​Mikkeller collboration IPA. Seriously? GREAT job guys!). They have all the scotches and whiskies that the average Okie could be interested in, I think. I didn’t really check the wine menu, and that wouldn’t be all that helpful anyway.
I’ve always had good service here, so I don’t think you need to worry about that.
The food is always better than OK. It’s not, like, mindblowing. But I’v enever been disappointed. But then again, I never think: dang yo, I need some of that Pub W Grub ASAP! I think you’re likely to find something you like to eat here, and be pleased that you ordered it. I like the hummus, the chupacabra sandwich.
You can tell it’s a Hal Smith kind of place. Some of the foods and concepts seem a bit… recycled or something. The food is probably a hair on the expensive side, but not obnoxiously so. There’s an underlying corporate feel that makes it less neighborly than it might otherwise be??? (This is coming from a local though; if you’re an out-​of-​towner, then this kind of concern probably isn’t applicable).
So my one gripe out this place is a fundamental gripe: I’m not sure what kind of place it is. Is it really a pub? Well, it’s called a pub and they have a fabulous beer menu and upstairs is a pretty neat/​fun cigar bar area. It feels kind of trendy and hip. But so often, I’m in this place and it’s all really quiet diners. White cloth napkins; nice new tables. It encourages people to treat it more as a casual restaurant (think: Charleston’s, but not as nice or tasty). I don’t know if I am supposed to get smashed and yell at NASCAR, or whether I am supposed to order a wine flight and make snooty comments about the floral bouquets and mouthfeel.
This is a nice place. This is a fun place. Service and ambiance are very good. Good is fine. Beer is awesome. We like to go to Pub Dub.

Have tried several of their items (fried chicken on Sunday, chicken sandwich, hot wings) and everything I’ve tried has been good.
They have a great ambiance, which is something that was really needed in northwest Norman. As a regular at several places in NW Norman, I have been anxiously awaiting this place’s opening. I am NOT disappointed one little bit!
