A new experience coming to Downtown OKC

Sailor & The Dock is a social and environmentally conscious indoor-market, lounge, bar, and venue coming to Downtown Oklahoma City in Spring 2023. It is a central place to fill your vitality cup by shopping and eating well, while building community and fostering a new movement of powerful projects and missions in the city… Anchoring a collective of creative local retail businesses and food & beverage concepts, Sailor & The Dock has something for everyone. In addition to a unique market place, there is a dedicated event space and incubator with new programing to showcase OKC’s artists each week. To top it off, patrons can convene for a drink at the center of the Sailor & The Dock market. 

 

Reclaimed Sailboat Bar

That’s right – the bar is made from a sailboat that’s lived its full life navigating earth’s waters. Rather than end up in a land fill, this boat is the centerpiece of Sailor & The Dock. This is both a visual representation and actualization of sustainability, a core value of Sailor & The Dock.  Honoring nature throughout the venue at every turn will serve as a daily reminder to be thoughtful and creative, and to preserve nature’s resources.

 

Shopping 

We are now seeking restaurant/dining farm-to-table concepts focused on wellness, retail storefronts with a socially impactful mission, or users for a flex/workshop space that encompass  education, creativity, and sustainability. Additionally, there are up to 8 stalls available for smaller micro-retail concepts looking to set sail in Downtown OKC in late spring 2023 Learn more about leasing opportunities here. 

 

Our goal is to be creative with local partnerships, offering affordable rent and out of the box amenities for small businesses and up & coming ventures looking something different. At Sailor & The Dock, we go beyond the typical “landlord & tenant” relationship. We’re dedicated to providing resources and opportunities for entrepreneurial education, nurturing an environment that promotes the growth and success of everyone. 

 

Eat Well 

Without taking care of ourselves, how can we expect to make a long-term meaningful impact? Remembering to set wellness of your body and mind as a core intention is important to creating a better world. We seek to promote wellness for all patrons by incorporating design elements and lifestyle elements that promote well-being. Above all, we want nutritious and high quality food that is accessible to all. If you’re interested in bringing your healthy food or drink concept to Sailor & The Dock, we want to help. 

 

Whatido.org

We aim to foster creativity and uplift the OKC arts community, starting with a dedicated event space that will house a new artist incubator program coming in 2023. We’re looking for artists now! Tell us what you do at whatido.org and we will send you opportunities and resources as they become available. We intend to provide consistent programming, featuring combinations of artists in the incubator. Artists, makers, and S&D partners will use the event space to hold classes, teaching various skills like dance, painting, yoga and more. 

 

Collaborative Events

We want to provide opportunities for artists, makers, and entrepreneurs to thrive and grow together. Aside from local entertainment and music, you can expect popup markets and workshops hosted in the dedicated events space on a regular basis. See what events are coming up at Sailor & The Dock. 

 

Sustainability & Embodied Energy

Sailor & The Dock is built within a unique adaptive-reuse of a 100 year-old urban warehouse in the heart of Downtown OKC. One of the most important aspects of preserving older buildings is the concept of the embodied energy represented. An existing building represents a cumulative amount of energy, compounded over the course of its construction. When a building is demolished, the embodied energy is lost and additional energy is spent to raze it. It is estimated that a new, energy-efficient building will take 65 years to save back the embodied energy lost in demolishing an existing building. Reusing an existing building embraces the philosophy of recycling, making it the most fiscally responsible choice for a community. Learn more about our core value of sustainability and embodied energy.
