ABOUT US

MECCA OTR // CREIGHTON CONCEPTS

In 2016 MECCA was the ORIGINAL city oasis and started the trend you now see today with bars filled with art, plants, colorful lights and affordable drinks specials. Over the years others have popped up, but we stay true to why we started.

We wanted to become the neighborhood spot for an off-the-beaten-path corner of OTR.  We wanted to create a different lifestyle and mindset for both staff and guests. A chill spot, focusing on creativity, connection, and a positive welcoming environment.

mecca : a place regarded as a center for a specified group, activity, or interest (merriam-webster).
