OCVIBE Adds Bar and Lounge Concepts to Market Hall

OCVIBE, a 100-acre mixed-use development surrounding Honda Center in Orange County, announced that six original bar and lounge concepts will operate within Katella Commons, the district’s newly named, 50,000-square-foot, two-story market hall, when it opens in early 2027.

Centrally located within OCVIBE, just below The Weave office building, Katella Commons will feature 21 chef-driven kitchens alongside its beverage-driven concepts and connect to the district’s central plaza and surrounding entertainment venues.

“Katella Commons is intended to be the gathering place for Anaheim,” said Nick Pacific, VP, Katella Commons Operations. “Every kitchen, bar, and lounge within the OCVIBE district is intentionally designed to encourage discovery and give guests the freedom to experience the space and the food in their own way.”

The addition of new bar and lounge concepts marks a notable evolution for Anaheim, which has become known for its brewery culture. They introduce a more expansive approach to socializing and gathering, according to OCVIBE’s developers.
