Listening Bars in Philadelphia for Every Playlist | Eater Philly

"Hidden inside a colorful Fishtown corner lounge is a listening room that keeps me coming back, especially for Off the Wall parties where anyone can play DJ. General manager Kayla Karp and DJ Dre not only curate bins that range from 1970s funk and big band to local icons like Kenny Gamble and the Motown compilation The Philadelphia Sound, they also teach a younger crowd there’s a second side to vinyl and how to use the gear. Friendships spark here through energetic conversations with a record in hand, and the lounge welcomes both longtime locals and new residents as a true community hub. The goal is discovery — opening people up to new things — with more Latin sounds on the horizon to match the restaurant’s menu." - Annemarie Dooling
