The Collective

This is a small, yet adequate (space) that serves as a very welcoming , low key from the exterior, but vibes with good life inside, place for musicians of ALL KINDS , anybody really- I happened to go there for their open mic night, a friend and I arrived at 730 pm onthursday (open mic nite) because that's when ppl who want to participate can begin signing up, HOWEVER, I'm guessing the line you'd be getting in to sign up must start forming when the place opens, at 6pm, because our spots were to be past midnight! Anyway, I had a great time listening/watching musical artists from about every walk , age, gender, etc of life perform their talents. Very awesome vibe throughout the place, from the other musicians, the ppl who work there, and all who were there to just visit and watch. So Chill, no bad vibes, no rudeness, just- very cool, comfortable place for a musician to share amoung. Highly recommend, but if you want a good slot on the mic, get there at 6pm!

A warning to fellow event coordinators, The Collective will be happy to cancel your reservation last-minute in favor of later bookings that will net them more money. We had an event scheduled more than one month in advance – I was notified by Michael 3 days prior to the event that it was cancelled in favor of another event because my event would not produce as much revenue for them. Always beware of working with venues that have low integrity.

This place was great, went for a meetup event and it was extremely organized. I was anticipating a busy bar but this was more of an event space and very relaxed. Great place for an event!

Great patrons, staff, met the owner… Awesome open mic!

Bad, expensive drinks and to make it worse Jeff the manager is a complete clown. 0/10 There are so many bars in PB, go have fun somewhere else.

My family and I were visiting from overseas. We were all impressed by the warm hospitality and great service that the staff shared with us. We had some finger foods and drinks while enjoying the Open Mic hosted by Jeremy, "Miller Time". And we were very impressed by painter Krystal's Live Art while amazing local SD musicians were rockin' the stage. That definitely added to the fantastic wooden ambiance of the bar. While we were there, we got to catch the touring electro pop artist, "Finest Summer'. =)

Super cute little place

Rly fun open mic night & good drinking games/jenga, also pretty decent cocktails for being pre batched and on tap
