About: MORE THAN JUST A VENUE. B – Side began as a reflection of its owners’ vision of what Manila needs in a music venue. In collaboration with “The B-Side Crew”, they’ve managed to develop more than just a venue, but a sense of community for local musicians in need of a place to showcase their talent and creativity.

Located in The Collective, a mini art and food hub in Makati, B-Side offers a complete band set up, sound system, and a fully stocked bar for a total capacity of 1,150. Events like Chronic Wheeze, Mamborat, Manila Soul (with Bing Austria), and Sublex (with DJ Caliph8) became a regular thing, bringing nights that always promised something new and different. In time, B-Side became a staple venue for lovers of progressive, alternative music that is rarely heard anywhere else in the country. Home to some of the most enigmatic and passionate musicians, both local and international, B-side has become a refuge for the movers and shakers involved in reshaping Manila’s subculture.
