About Tiki Pete

Welcome to Tiki Pete and its expanded sister venue, Pete Be Center, the island-style music and event spaces in downtown San Jose. With an elevated stage, full bar, and tropical atmosphere, these venues offer intimate shows for up to 200 guests at the original Tiki Pete site and up to 1,800 standing (1,142 seated) at the larger Pete Be Center in the SoFA District. Whether you’re catching an intimate set or a larger event, we’ve got you covered with practical details, nearby parking, transit options, and easy access to hotels and dining just steps away.

Note: the brand appears split between Tiki Pete (original venue) and Pete Be Center (new, larger space). When purchasing tickets, confirm the exact event location. We share reliable details and help you secure your seats for UFC watch parties and other performances. For travel planning, consider nearby parking garages with free initial minutes and walking-friendly routes to hotels like Signia by Hilton San Jose. If you’re planning a multi-day Bay Area trip, each date is treated separately, and we provide venue-specific details to help you plan efficiently.
