Nestled inconspicuously in the brand-new Santa Fe Square building in downtown Tulsa, Maestro is a cocktail bar with four basic principles: land, labor, love and lime. Aaron Post – the pro behind one of Tulsa’s most beloved upscale bars, Valkyrie – also helms Maestro, which means one thing: this place is serious about the quality and complexity of its drinks.
For newcomers, try the classic margarita, with tequila, mezcal, key lime, orange liqueur and lavender, or the Palomita, with tequila, mezcal, grapefruit, lime, Ancho Reyes, Aperol and Topo Chico. For those looking to kick it up a notch, the Martinez de Oaxaca is a great choice, complete with Mezcal Espadín, vermouth, maraschino, sage and bitters, or the Nitro Libre, with rum, Mexican Coca-Cola, vanilla, lime and lactose. For the true connoisseur, Maestro offers a bevy of liquors to customize your bebida, from gin and vodka to mezcal and agave spirits, tequila, whiskey and more.
With all that boozin’, you’ll need to fill up with some food. Highlights include the wagyu beef tartare, topped with salsa macha, aioli, chives and a side of sourdough; the Frita Cubana, stuffed with chorizo-spiced beef, egg, cheese, onion and a side of shoestring fries; or the avocado and quinoa salad, with herbs, hearts of palm, onion and radish.
