The Toast Collective is a space for a lot of people with different aims to get together, hang out, host events, and sometimes party. I’ve been to super chill jazz nights that turned in to topless dance parties, and art showings that brought the city’s finest together over wine. This is the coolest spot to make some friends and book that event you always wanted to see happen. Their street view is an unassuming storefront, and through the door an open performance space, then couches, a bar, and a bathroom. The entire space is tiny, there’s capacity for about 70 people in total and it gets pretty crowded pretty quickly. The art and displays rotate as their showcases change. Social programs are hosted by motivated individuals year round. They are very do it yourself and very politically correct, so if you’re a snobby lazy jerk you might not want to socialize too long. But honestly, you’ll probably fit right in with them, and the hip neighborhood they’ve been a part of for years. Contact them through their website with any ideas, and check the online calender for more dates.
