OCVIBE Anaheim: Restaurants, Entertainment, Opening Timeline & Guide

OCVIBE is a large mixed-use entertainment district under development around Honda Center in Anaheim. It is part of the broader Platinum Triangle, but it is not a new name for the entire Platinum Triangle. The approximately 100-acre project is being developed in phases around Honda Center, ARTIC and nearby Angel Stadium.

Major visitor-facing components are still under construction. The first major dining, entertainment and public-space elements are expected to begin opening in 2027, with additional phases continuing after that.

What Is OCVIBE?

OCVIBE is a mixed-use district being built around Honda Center in Anaheim. The project is planned to combine restaurants, entertainment venues, parks and plazas, offices, hotels and residential development in a more walkable district connected to ARTIC and surrounding destinations.

The project sits within Anaheim’s Platinum Triangle, near Angel Stadium and City National Grove of Anaheim. Honda Center remains the district’s primary existing entertainment anchor while new OCVIBE components are developed around it.

What’s Open at OCVIBE Now?

OCVIBE is still an active construction project. Honda Center, ARTIC and existing nearby venues remain in operation, and new supporting infrastructure is already being added around the district.

The Cerritos Garage and Katella Garage opened in October 2025 and together added 4,534 parking spaces serving the Honda Center and OCVIBE area.

The restaurants, Katella Commons market hall, new Concert Hall, major plazas, hotels and many other OCVIBE components discussed below are future openings rather than places visitors can currently use.

OCVIBE Opening Timeline

  • 2025: Cerritos Garage and Katella Garage opened.
  • Early 2027: The first major visitor-facing phase is planned to begin opening, including Katella Commons, public-space components and other dining and entertainment uses.
  • March 2027: The new OCVIBE Concert Hall is scheduled to open.
  • Fall 2027: Best Friend by Roy Choi is expected to open.
  • 2028 and later: Additional entertainment, public-space, hotel, residential and mixed-use phases are planned, including future venues such as Golden Bear.
  • Through approximately 2032: Later development phases are expected to continue.

OCVIBE is a phased development, so individual opening dates can move. Check OCVIBE and the City of Anaheim for the latest construction and opening information before planning a trip specifically around a new venue.

Katella Commons & OCVIBE Restaurants

Katella Commons

Katella Commons is OCVIBE’s planned 50,000-square-foot, two-story market hall. It is expected to include 21 chef-driven kitchens plus six bars and lounges, creating a central food-and-drink destination within the district. The current opening target is early 2027.

Announced Katella Commons Concepts

OCVIBE has announced a growing lineup of chefs and food businesses for Katella Commons. Announced concepts include Debbie Lee’s Korean-inspired Pado and Mokja, along with Don Churros Gomez, MFK | Modern Filipino Kitchen, Mojo, Pull & Roll and Gelato Paradiso.

The tenant lineup can change before opening, so use the official OCVIBE restaurant announcements for the latest confirmed list.

Best Friend by Roy Choi

Best Friend by chef Roy Choi is planned as a separate OCVIBE restaurant rather than a Katella Commons stall. The restaurant is currently expected to open in fall 2027.

Restaurant Row

Additional stand-alone restaurants are planned throughout the district. OCVIBE continues to announce tenants in stages, so this page focuses on confirmed concepts rather than attempting to maintain a speculative list.

Concert Hall & Entertainment at OCVIBE

Honda Center

Honda Center remains the district’s main existing entertainment venue and home of the Anaheim Ducks, along with concerts and touring events.

OCVIBE Concert Hall

The new OCVIBE Concert Hall is planned as a roughly 5,000-person-capacity indoor venue with an opening target of March 2027. It is being designed for concerts as well as comedy, televised programming, awards shows, speaking events, sports and esports, private events and other live entertainment.

Golden Bear

Golden Bear is a future OCVIBE entertainment venue planned for a later phase. Current OCVIBE materials place it among the district’s 2028-and-beyond venues rather than the initial 2027 opening group.

Other Entertainment

OCVIBE also plans smaller performance spaces, outdoor programming and community events throughout its parks and plazas. The exact event calendar will become more useful once those spaces begin opening.

Parks, Plazas & Public Space

OCVIBE is planned with approximately 20 acres of open space, including parks, plazas, landscaped gathering areas and about three miles of walkable trails. Outdoor public art is also part of the district plan.

The first major public spaces are expected to begin opening with the initial 2027 phase. Later phases include larger park and plaza components such as Meadow Park and Urban Park. Until those spaces open, they should be viewed as planned elements rather than existing visitor amenities.

The district is also intended to connect more directly with the Santa Ana River Trail and surrounding Anaheim destinations.

Hotels, Residential Development & The Weave

The Weave

The Weave is a planned mixed-use office and hospitality-oriented building within OCVIBE. Current Anaheim planning documents identify it at approximately 168,137 square feet. Flexible-workspace company Kiln has been announced as a tenant, and The Weave is part of the 2027 phase.

Hotels

Hotels are part of the long-term OCVIBE plan, but they are not current lodging options. Anaheim’s phased development timeline places the first hotel around 2028, with another hotel planned later in the buildout.

Earlier plans used working names and room-count assumptions that have changed over time, so this guide does not present Meadow Hotel, South Plaza Hotel or older hotel totals as finalized visitor information.

Residential Development

Thousands of residential units are planned across the broader OCVIBE buildout, including affordable housing commitments. Because unit counts have changed across different development phases, this page avoids mixing older plan totals with newer approvals.

Where Is OCVIBE?

OCVIBE is in Anaheim around Honda Center, between the Katella Avenue and Ball Road area and adjacent to ARTIC. Angel Stadium is nearby on the opposite side of the SR-57 corridor.

The district is part of the larger Platinum Triangle and is designed to connect Honda Center, ARTIC, entertainment venues, restaurants, offices, public spaces and future residential and hotel development.

Getting to OCVIBE & Parking

By Car

The most direct freeway access is from I-5 and SR-57. Event traffic patterns can change around Honda Center, so follow current venue signage and parking instructions on the day of your visit.

The Cerritos Garage and Katella Garage are already open and together provide 4,534 parking spaces. Additional parking and roadway improvements are part of later OCVIBE phases.

By Train or Bus: ARTIC

ARTIC, the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center, is a major transit gateway next to the OCVIBE district. It provides access to Metrolink, Amtrak and bus service, making rail one of the most practical alternatives to driving for Honda Center and future OCVIBE events.

Anaheim ARTIC station information

Rideshare

Rideshare access is available around Honda Center and ARTIC. For major events, follow the event organizer’s current pickup and drop-off instructions because construction and traffic-control patterns can change.

Walkability

OCVIBE is being designed as a pedestrian-oriented district, but the complete network of paths, plazas and connections is not yet open. Future improvements include The Paseo and a pedestrian bridge over Katella Avenue connecting the ARTIC side of the district with Honda Center. Anaheim’s current development timeline places the bridge around 2028.

OCVIBE and the Platinum Triangle

The Platinum Triangle is Anaheim’s broader redevelopment area surrounding Angel Stadium, Honda Center and ARTIC. OCVIBE is one major project within that larger district. It should not be treated as a replacement name for the entire Platinum Triangle.

The project is being developed in collaboration with the Samueli family and related development entities around Honda Center. Its long-term plan includes dining, entertainment, offices, housing, hotels, parks and public spaces intended to create a more connected district around the arena and transit station.

OCVIBE Map & Site Plan

Because the site plan continues to evolve as development moves through phases, the most useful map is the current official OCVIBE plan. Visit the official OCVIBE website for the latest district map, venue locations and construction updates.
