A TULSA TRADITION SINCE 1967
The private dining landscape in mid-1960's Tulsa boasted two oil centric establishments: The Petroleum Club and The Tulsa Club. Having shared in the design and development of the Petroleum Club building in 1961, founding father of The Summit, Jack W. Kelley decided to go higher. This time, it would be Tulsa's first modern skyscraper, with plans to include another elite dining club. With that concept, Kelley and partners began designing the 32 story Fourth National Bank building (Now the Bank of America building) and future home of The Summit. Construction for the building broke ground in 1965 and was completed in 1967. In order to move forward with what is now The Summit, Kelley and a group of local civic and business leaders formed the first Summit Board of Governors.
For over fifty years, it has remained the premier dining and social club in Tulsa.
TODAY
The Summit is a private, non-profit organization. The Club is owned by its membership and guided by an active Board of Governors and various committees that give their time and assistance to ensure the Club’s long-term success. We operate the top three floors of the Bank of America building on the corner of Sixth Street and Boulder Avenue.
