The San Francisco Bay Area’s Best Vinyl Bars and Listening Bars | Eater SF

"This San Jose lounge checks in with multiple McIntosh amps powering a sound system led by a sleek hi-fi wall of sound behind the DJ booth. A lively small space that’s an oasis amidst clubbier First Street bars, Still O.G. has all of its cocktails on draft — at a reasonable $14 a pop at that! — that’s so the noise from shakers doesn’t disrupt the function. There’s also Asian-leaning bites like chicken tsukune and king trumpet mushroom skewers, crab noodles, and even a smash burger. Peep behind the soundproof velvet curtain in the back to uncover the Alter Ego cocktail and bites speakeasy, a choice destination that recently hosted a bar pop-up night with SF’s True Laurel. Reservations for Alter Ego can be found at OpenTable." - Adrian Spinelli
