Tokyo Record Bar

West Village · Listening bar / izakaya · $$$

This is where the city's listening-bar trend really took hold. Downstairs is a set seven-course menu timed to a vinyl set, where every guest adds a song. Upstairs, the Cocktail Bar, you can just walk in for drinks and a DJ.

The basement izakaya that helped start NYC's listening-bar wave — a prix fixe scored to vinyl you help pick.
