Polo Grill's Flavor Discovery
A Tradition Of Excellence for Three Decades
In 1983 Robert Merrifield envisioned a new restaurant for Tulsa. The goal was to offer the very finest service and cuisine to guests. That vision became POLO GRILL. A facility expansion, completed in 1996 added 1,260 square feet to the original restaurant dining areas opened in 1983. The expansion consisted of the addition of a wine cellar / private dining room combination and a larger bar area.
With the physical expansion, the restaurant wine collection expanded to 4,250 bottles. In late 1998 additional construction added private wine tasting rooms and further expanded wine inventory to 10,000 bottles and over 1,000 selections. Now the wine selection rivals any in the country, with over 1,100 labels and 22,000 bottles.
In 2020, we added yet another expanded area, the Polo Lounge, with a second bar and comfortable seating, along with indoor space for live music. As we celebrate our third decade at Polo Grill it is wonderful to see where our journey began and where we have arrived. As Tulsa has changed and grown with the times, so has Polo Grill.
What began as a modest bar and single dining room has expanded to our main dining room and a total of five private dining rooms, our beautiful granite topped bar and cozy booths in the lounge, the Polo Lounge, a growing patio dining service, a full-service catering operation, and the finest wine program in Oklahoma. All of this is offered in a restaurant staffed by the best service team in the business.
