Dining Options at The Oread
The hotel is a mixed-use property, so condo owners and hotel guests share the same on-site dining facilities. Here’s the current picture:
1. Rock & Hawk (Primary Restaurant & Bar)
This is the main full-service dining outlet in the building.
- Concept: Elevated sports-bar / farm-to-table restaurant with strong KU and game-day energy. Focuses on high-quality burgers, smoked wings, shareables, salads, and a few more substantial entrees, paired with craft beers and signature cocktails.
- Meals Served: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner (all-day menu after breakfast hours).
- Atmosphere: Casual but polished, designed for gatherings, game days, and everyday dining. Includes indoor seating and access to outdoor terrace space.
- Bar: Full bar service with craft beer selection and cocktails. Bar typically stays open later than the dining room (historically until around 11 pm).
- Hours (approximate / subject to change): Breakfast starts early (around 6:30–8:00 am depending on the day). All-day dining runs into the evening. Exact current hours are best confirmed on rockandhawk.com or by calling the hotel.
Rock & Hawk is the clear centerpiece of the food-and-beverage offering at The Oread.
2. Coffee Corner
- Located in the hotel lobby.
- Quick-service option for coffee, espresso drinks, and light grab-and-go items.
- Convenient for residents who want something fast without sitting down for a full meal.
3. Outdoor / Terrace Dining
- The building features outdoor terraces that support al fresco dining.
- Some local listings reference outdoor dining experiences tied to the property (including past or related concepts such as Nest on Ninth). Weather permitting, terrace seating is part of the Rock & Hawk experience.
4. Private Dining & Events
- The hotel offers private dining rooms and event space.
- Larger gatherings can use venues such as The Cave (lower-level space with significant capacity).
- Catering is available for meetings, private parties, and events.
