Life of Riley Music & Sports Bar holds Grand Opening Saturday in Sand Springs
/
“Life of Riley” is an expression meaning “an ideal life of carefree prosperity and luxurious contentment.” In the case of the new Life of Riley bar in Sand Springs, it is also the life of owner Riley Howard.
Riley and Ashley Howard have spent the past five months remodeling their building in preparation for the grand opening. Riley isn’t a native Sandite, he’s originally from the Berryhill community, but managed TJ’s Wine and Spirits in Sand Springs for the past 19 years.
Fitting the name of the bar, Life of Riley is undeniably luxurious. The upscale music and sports bar isn’t your typical westside dive. The pristine venue matches up against the finest bars in the Tulsa area in terms of cleanliness, comfort, decor, and visual appeal.
The Prattville bar features four large flat screen televisions that will all be showing NCAA Football on Saturdays. An added perk for sports lovers is the DirecTV NFL Sports Package so every game is available on Sundays.
In addition to being a prime destination for sports fans, the bar also has a live music setup and plans to host trivia and poker nights in the near future.
Life of Riley is a non-smoking bar, though they are working on a patio area for smoking and vaping. The bar does not have food in-house, but they plan to host local food trucks during peak hours, and patrons are invited to bring outside food. They have also left room in the fridge and are taking recommendations from the community on which beverages to carry.
“(Sand Springs) was just the right market,” says Howard. “I feel things are really growing this way. I think we’re the new Owasso, Broken Arrow, or Jenks. Everything’s coming out this way, and there’s just nothing like this out here. It’s the perfect spot.”
Brian O’Hara, the Deputy District Director for Congressional District 1, presented the Howards with a Certificate of Special Congressional Recognition on behalf of Congressman Kevin Hern at the bar’s Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting early Saturday morning.
