Check out these vintage record rooms where you can enjoy your favorite vinyl records while sipping handcrafted cocktails amongst New York City trendsetters and audiophiles alike.

Eavesdrop

With a state-of-the-art sound system designed by audio consultant, Danny Taylor, this Japanese cocktail lounge and listening room takes things to a whole new level. The 70s’ inspired space offers the perfect atmosphere for a heated debate over which of Jimi Hendrix’s guitar solos is the best of all time.

Analogue

19 W 8th St, New York, NY 10011, United States

As presumed from the name, this cocktail and jazz bar has a special appreciation for the technology (and music) of the past. On nights when they’re not offering a live jazz music performance, Analogue plays all the classics on vinyl in a Hi-Fi vintage setup alongside a wide array of whiskey and small bar bites.
