We're a small neighborhood bar & high-fidelity listening lounge.
Our cozy space is home to a large collection of vinyl records, played on a high-end sound system in an acoustically treated room, always at a polite volume. A Japanese kissa-inspired, low-key, music-forward space, curated by a rotating crew of experienced DJs and record collectors.
We offer local craft beer on tap, local cider, not-local sake, and around a hundred wines — including natural wine — with a light food menu of tinned fish, stuffed grape leaves, and a few salty snacks. Bottles of wine are also available to go, at retail pricing.
Here's our origin story. Welcome.
Please Note
- We are a bar. Must be 21 or over.
- We really are a small, low-capacity space.
- Because we're small, it's often hard to accommodate groups of 5+.
- If you're willing to split up into smaller groups, and/or make new friends if there's extra space at your table, we will love you forever.

Jan's Soundsystem
Our audio system is a restomod design by Cafe Sound (aka Cathode Bias) a boutique firm in Space Coast, FL focused on fusing vintage and modern concepts into unique sound systems. This set up combines both old and new audio concepts to create a unique system with vintage aesthetics and modern performance.
The system consists of:
- Four 1950s-60s vintage Altec 811 horns and 806/808 drivers, used in both commercial and home systems of the time
- Four modern 15" mid-woofers made in Italy by Faital
- Four custom mid-woofer cabinets made from Baltic Birch with a design inspired by vintage JBL theater systems
- Two 18" carbon fiber woofers in sealed cabinets with response to 30hz
- Ten channels of DSP-managed amplification
Technical details:
- System response is approximately 30hz to 18khz +/- 3db
- Crossover points are 80hz and 1200hz
- Horn equalization includes:
- -9db overall attenuation
- 2khz -6db notch filter (corrects for frequency response peak in mid-range)
- +6db eq gain at 16khz (corrects for horn frequency drop above 8khz)
