The Collective is situated one block north from the White house Hotel. The decor is ok and the bar serves the usual suspects. Not particularly foreigner friendly, the few occasions I’ve visited this place has usually involved some pissed local, trying his luck and our beer.

The club is a Russian owned place and the owner/manager is reasonably friendly. As per usual they turn a blind eye to the ruffling up of foreigners ... as long as the doorman lets you in, in the first place. Go somewhere else, there’s plenty to choose from. AVOID!

You strike me with a pain as bright as steel! The Collective should change it’s name to The Selective, ironically some of the cliental look like they should be in Star Trek as well.
