Good for the Gastro
An 18th and Boston pub serves upscale victuals just right of the pond
Definitely not a common household term when it comes to restaurants, gastropubs, originating in Britain, are public houses specializing in more than just the usual pub grub fare of alcohol, fish and chips, kidney pie, bangers and mash and pasties.
Oscar's Gastropub (the word a combo of pub and gastronomy), lead by owner and executive chef Eli Huff, continues the 
British gastropub craze here in Tulsa. The atmosphere has a modern, casual, classy feel. The newly refinished wooden floor, the deep olive green and cream color scheme and the ceiling-to-floor curtain, which serves as a divider between the dining area and raised south side that can be used for somewhat private gatherings, all bring Oscar's up a notch to a place catering to more than a beer crowd.
The evening I dined here, more people were still in their office attire of ties and slacks, dresses and dress suits. In fact, I, in my blue jeans, was almost underdressed.
When my guest and I arrived, it took a minute or two for someone to seat us. Looking around, a few tables were occupied with large groups, a few people were at the bar, and the overall feel was warm and inviting. We were seated, and our server for the evening greeted us.
We reviewed the drinks, finding 24 beers on tap and decided to sample Marshall Brewing Co.'s Atlas India Pale Ale ($5) and Sundown Wheat ($6). Both were very good choices, the Atlas having a kick, as my friend said, and the Wheat smooth and mellow.
