The San Francisco Bay Area’s Best Vinyl Bars and Listening Bars | Eater SF
"SF’s newest addition to the listening bar circuit takes the concept to new heights, fully incorporating the element of food. Chef Parker Brown’s Midwest-comfort menu includes a decadent burger with bone marrow and Tomales Farmstead Creamery goat cheese that nods to a pro move order at Chicago’s storied Au Cheval, as well as a perfectly fried chicken cutlet with chickories, hazelnut, and zesty honey mustard that’s delightfully bitter and sweet; both have many dashing pairings on La Ciccia’s Paul Chung-curated wine list. Meanwhile, Brown’s partner and co-owner, Caroline, helms the music component led by the first-ever Tub’s Audio speakers installed in a U.S. restaurant. Suffice it to say, Side A sounds impeccable, both in the evening when Caroline (DJ Music Please) and illustrious selectors (King Most! Mophono!) are on the decks, as well as in late Mission mornings where house-made donuts and the Coffee Movement’s drinks paint a convivial portrait of this spectacular space. Reservations are available on Resy." - Adrian Spinelli
