The Valkyrie bar is open on Brady now. Quite a well-curated beer list they have, and no wasted tap handles.

we went on saturday night before the bon iver show.  we will most likely go back.  they had a nice selection of beers on tap.  the wine selection is not that big.  they basically had one selection for each type of wine.  it looked like they had a decent liquor selection for mixed drinks and such.  i liked the look of the decor inside.  it seemed similar to edward delk, but more subtle.

Does anybody know if there are plans to bury the utility lines in the Brady District like they've been done throughout the rest of downtown? Looking at the pictures make me realize how much better the area would look without all the utility lines.

I'm guessing that unless the tenants pony up for it, probably not.

I like it as well. I expect that it can get fairly loud in there though since there are no soft surfaces to absorb sound.

Juniper owner to operate Edward Delk's, open Brady District steakhouse in the fall

http://www.tulsaworld.com/scene/article.aspx?subjectid=371&articleid=20120806_371_0_Justin214637

Justin Thompson, chef-proprietor of Juniper, said Monday he has taken over operation of Edward Delk's and plans to open an upscale steakhouse in the Brady District in the fall.

Thompson said Edward Delk's, 427 S. Boston Ave., will be closed Monday and Tuesday and will reopen Wednesday with a new menu and new wine list.

"I'm sort of bringing in my own kind of food," Thompson said. "The identity will be American-style pub with things like pulled pork sliders and blue cheese nachos. We also will offer full dinners with things like chorizo meatloaf with sweet-corn mashed potatoes.

"We also will have some changes in the bar and the wine list. It will be a whole new atmosphere."

Edward Delk's was opened in December 2011 by Eric Richards and Hunt Hawkins.

"I've known Eric and Hunt since high school," Thompson said. "We entered into a partnership where I will handle the day to day operation of the restaurant."

He said Edward Delk's will be open for lunch and dinner Monday-Friday and dinner only Saturday.

Thompson said his new steakhouse, to be called PRHYME Downtown Steakhouse, will be located on the south end of the new Fairfield Inn & Suites, 111 N. Main St.

It will be on the opposite end of the hotel from another new restaurant, Laffa, a project from the owners of Cosmo.

"We are starting construction on the steakhouse this week," Thompson said. "It will be an upscale, modern steakhouse and have everything you expect to see with a few twists.

"We will focus on beef from different regions, and customers can pick among grass-fed or grain-fed beef. Different steaks will have different fat content. People can try different styles of steak and see what they really like.

"We'll also have 300 wines by the bottle, caviar service and lots of seafood."

Thompson said the target date for completion is mid October.

Thompson, who opened the upscale-casual Juniper last year at 324 E. Third St., formerly was chef at such places as Ciao!, Sonoma Bistro, the Brasserie and Osage restaurant at Gilcrease Museum.

Does anybody know when they are going to start on the Brady flats? Heard they were going to start when Fairfield Inn was done.  How about Urban8?

New Cedar trees were planted on Main street between Brady and Cameron. They look great while they are small, but not sure if they are a good idea long term unless someone keeps them trimmed and "christmas tree shaped"

Sadly, insuring the reliability of electric service isnt enough of an incentive to bury lines.
You would think there would be some regulations...
