The Collective Encore

"One of the best sounding rooms in Maryland!!! I know because I am a concert promoter, musician and music snob. Not a bad seat in the house. Safe and free parking. Good food and reasonable drinks."

"Went with some friends to see the Kelly Bell band, first time going. It's an intimate venue, great bartenders and they had Glenfiddich 15 at the bar so that made for a happy evening. Sound was pretty good at the back, interesting mix of people. Love to come back and maybe see a comedian or other bands."

"I love love love their monthly karaoke with a live band!!! Trivia is every Tuesday with food and drinks available. As well as happy hour before! For music this is the best indoor venue in Howard County!!"

"Small, intimate, live music venue on the lakefront in Columbia. They offer small plates and cocktails and offer table service during the show. The real draw is the intimacy of a supper-club like experience. Plenty of free parking at the garage across the street. A real gem for live music. Go!!!"

"The Collective is a fabulous addition to the Columbia Lakefront! Beautifully revamped compared to Clyde's with a more open air feel. The seafood that I've tried is phenomenal, fresh, and not frozen; for example, the calamari is fresh with light breading, and the marinara has a slight kick. The Cocktail list is nicely crafted and is well balanced. I highly recommend dinner at The Offshore and an evening of intimate entertainment at The Encore with a snack or two. The Carolina Bacon Jam Wings and the Crab Arancini are the bomb!"
