The Collective Kitchens and Cocktails

My favorite thing about this place is sitting outside on the roof top patio and people watch! If you sit in the right spot you can also watch the pups across the street at the dog park, too. If you're not a people/dog watcher bring a book or visit with a friend. Whatever your choice, grab lunch at one of their eateries inside and soak in the sun rays! #wellbeing

Location is good (midtown), the pop-up shops across the street were fabulous (obviously a holiday thing only), and I liked the concept. As opposed to The Parlor (another food court OKC offering), I probably liked The Collective better. I have not had drinks at The Parlor, so this might not be a fair comparison, but The Collective was bar first and food court second. This is a complement. The bar service was fantastic (and honestly was a surprise...I figured we would have to go to the bar for service). I loved the inventive cocktails. I tried the caramel apple sangria (perfect for the holidays) and Catching Flights. (Both were whiskey based drinks, the latter with Buffalo Trace.) Specialty cocktails were only $8 during happy hour. I thought the "stall" offerings were maybe more eclectic than The Parlor. I tried some queso with chorizo from The Fried Taco. The chips were flour tortillas (not corn chips) and I would recommend this as an appetizer. For my main, I visited Edie's Grill for "Sub-Saharan" food. I went with the brisket dinner. I LOVED the jollof rice and the roasted veggies! The brisket was a bit stringy but that might have been the style of sub-Saharan prep. ????? I would order something else next time.We were there right at 5:00 and parking was disappearing fast. There is a small pay lot behind.I would go ago and try to experience a few of the other vendors.

The Collective is a culinary treasure in OKC! It's a food hall similar to Parlor, but the Collective was the first one. It's in a great area, especially at Christmas time because there are pop up shops across the street on weekends! This food hall is perfect for a group because everyone can get something they are craving because of the many choices. I've had several spots over the years, and they switch them out. I had 2 cocktails from the bar last night, and both were extremely well crafted and delicious. They also have a 3-6pm happy hour where prices go up per hour, but my cocktails were only $8 each!Our bartender was super attentive too. It's a big open space with ample seating, clean bathrooms, and the Christmas decorations were beautiful. I'll continue eating here for years to come.

This Food Hall is awesome and has a very diverse array of cuisine selections, from African, to Hawaiian and Asian Fusion, to fried tacos, wings, Philly cheesesteaks and freshly made Italian food. Their bar is pretty awesome as well, and they also have outdoor seating with lounges next to fires. Service at each of the restaurants is also great and prompt. There is also seating / hang out space on the second top floor as well. Definitely has to be checked out or you are in OKC!

We really love this place, the bar was a vibe and an atmosphere all on its own, with a diverse and useful crowd, making it much more than just a food hall. We had a large table on the dining side, where we sat eight of us, and the food options were plenty. I got pasta from the Italian place, the pesto bowties with a fresh Barata cheese on top. So delicious. My boyfriend tried the fettuccine Alfredo with the chicken and also was raving about it. The cocktails were so yummy, I tried the pear and ginger cocktail first, but the elemakule sour was the real winner and we had 3! The holiday themed espresso, white chocolate martini with tequila was also a delight, different from the norm, a little bit thicker than a standard espresso martini, but definitely not too creamy by any means. Our server, Sarah was so sweet and attentive, she made sure we had water the entire night and were taken care of. For dessert, we tried the funnel cake with powdered sugar from the cheesecake spot, it was so fresh and warm and delicious, perfect for dipping in their caramel sauce and such a treat. This is my first time in Oklahoma City and it was a such a nice way to start off our visit. Will definitely be back.

This is honestly my first time to visit Oklahoma City and we're here for four days. Our VRBO is not ready yet so we decided to find someplace for lunch and The Collective seemed like a great choice since there were numerous food options inside. Kind of an industrial vibe in an old brick building and there's a pretty cool large bar with a lot of seating in the front of the building. In the back part is a waffle place, a wing place, a fried taco place, a Hawaiian tropical cuisine restaurant and Edie's Grill with sub-saharan cuisine. There's also pizza and Italian as well as Philly cheesesteak and maybe one or two others. It's kind of uncomfortably humid and warm inside even though there are several very loud air conditioners running. But they're the kind that just use water to cool the air as opposed to a true cold air conditioner. So it's loud and a little warm and not exactly the most pleasant atmosphere. Maybe this would be a place to hang out with cooler temperatures outside but when it's near 100 outside, it's not that comfortable to be in here.

Love this concept, so when I saw they had it in Oklahoma City I was ALL in. Best way to eat out with a group....everyone can get what they want and still sit together. Nice variety ...Italian, Mexican, Hawaiian, Sub-Saharan ,wings and even waffles !There is so much seating and a rooftop patio. I chose Shaka Hawaiian Tropical Cuisine. I had the "Da Kine Bird Hawaiian BBQ chicken". ($12.00)It was grilled Hawaiian chicken, white rice, grilled pineapple, avocado, macaroni salad and pineapple mango chutney . It is a generous portion of meat that was absolutely delicious. My server Jennifer L was very friendly . She was a 1woman show-doing it all. I was texted when my meal was ready and I didn't have to wait long at all. I went on a weekday at 2:00 so not very crowded. Parking is on the street. We had to park around the block to find a spot

Really cute place near downtown OKC. There are many different food vendors within the building. We all decided on the fried tacos. So yummy. Plenty of seating inside, outside, and in the rooftop. Our bartender was great and made some delicious margaritas. Perfect place for a lunch out with friends.

Awesomeeee but hard to find parking !!! Good luck! Hahaa go early or uber. Larger selection of eateries from wings,fried tacos to Indian tacos or maybe some Hawaiian cuisine. If you have a group with different cravings, great spot. Lots of seating whether group or individual. Very clean and onsite cleaning of tables and floors. Nice spot for meeting or working remotely. Full bar inside as well for cocktail hour. Shaka is my favorite with Hawaiian cuisine that is so flavorful chicken and mac salad!!!! Indian taco was nice and fluffy frybread but heavy on the jalapeños. I will definitely be back for my weekly lunch outing from the office to try another vendor. Amazing patio area as well for them sunny days or brunch weekends. Don't get a ticket, find legal parking spot. Should have definitely put a parking garage nearby!

Food is amazing, service is good, price is fair.Shaka is one of my faves in okc, always bring friends here when they want good food with a comfortable and fun atmosphere.
