About James E. McNellie's Public House

While I was a student at Notre Dame I spent a semester studying inDublin. While I was in Ireland I became enchanted by the country’sunique pub culture.

I was intrigued to see that the local public house was much more thanjust a place to get a pint and a bite to eat. It was the neighborhoodgathering place for everything and everyone - regardless of age.

When I returned home to Oklahoma after graduation, I kept searching fora pub similar to the ones I frequented in  Dublin, pubs like The Stags Head and Porterhouse. However, none of the establishments felt right, so I decided to build a pub of my own. 

In 2004, I opened the first McNellie's in Tulsa. Now, four years later,I've opended McNellie's in Oklahoma City. Both pubs feature menus withfresh, reasonably priced food and an atmosphere that is ideal foreveryone - including families with young children.

In addition, the pubs have a great selection of hard-to-find draughtand bottled beers (350 at last count), plus great collections of singlemalt scotches.
