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.

Our Sound System
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.
This "Mini-Modesta" system is designed to deliver a listening experience that feels both intimate and active — more like a live performance than a traditional commercial system.
Built around forged aluminum Italian horns and pro level components, the system combines sound system dynamics with craft Hi-Fi sensibility.
At its core, the Mini-Modesta is a high-efficiency design. It produces room-filling sound with little power, making it an ideal match for low-powered amplification. The system responds to nuance: allowing low-powered tube and solid state amplifiers to operate in their sweet spot, where tone and texture are at their best.
The system subwoofer is influenced by modular dub reggae sound systems, with a sense of scale that feels bigger than the room itself. But unlike large-format stacks, the Mini-Modesta is tailored for long listening sessions where clarity and musicality matter as much as impact.
