Living or working in an office space in Makati can be pretty draining at times and this may leave little room for creative outlets. While there are a number of high-end museums in the city such as the Ayala Museum, there is also a lesser known venue for those seeking less mainstream forms of artistic expression.

Nestled behind the bustling Buendia's Makati office space for rent, on a lot formerly used as an automotive warehouse, the B-Side Collective is home to musicians, artists, foodies, and office goers seeking to express or be exposed to artistry. No matter which day of the week you choose to come, there will always be artists and DJs ready to play.

Although the place is mostly filled with musicians, it is also a haven for artists and craftsmen looking to expose their work. Occasional art exhibits by different kinds of artists are held in B-Side's stores, particularly in Outerspace Art Gallery.

Aside from being a musician and artists' hub, the Collective is also home to entrepreneurs with interesting start-up companies. The term "the collective" actually refers to the cooperative theme that the place has in terms of helping young businesses to grow. Some of the most popular are B-Side, the WabiSabi Noodle House and Wingman , all of which are food establishments. One can also find Hocus (a bike store that produces new old bikes), Ritual(organic food and crafts store), and Vinyl on Vinyl  (a store that sells vinyl records and toys).

The venue's exact address is 7274 Malugay St. in Makati. This quirky destination welcomes truly welcomes people of all backgrounds. No matter what day of the week you come, there is always something new and whimsical to see. The venue has truly come a long way from its automotive shop roots.
