The records are the reason the room exists, not the background to it: a resident DJ works a Klipsch rig, a no-requests policy settles who the night belongs to, and on the off nights the bartenders put on full sides of funk, disco, soul, and house. Thursday brings the DJ night the vinyl crowd turns up for. Craft cocktails and a menu of dressed-up hot dogs keep the room fed, and it runs loud and social, not built for a quiet dinner across the table.
