Curtis Audiophile Cafe & Record Store

Awesome vibes and good service from the bar - asked for a beer recommendation and was pointed towards a local IPA. Awesome spot to spend an evening chatting with friends with an unbeatable soundtrack.

Cute vinyl bar with a great vibe. Got the Curtis Highball which didn’t end up being my taste. Reservation on a Sunday wasn’t needed.

Nice, interesting place with absolutely great books, music and service. I had a beer with a little too much foam and I asked to have more beer instead and I was given the beer with less foam with no discussion. Thanks to nice girl who was serving me, she is from Georgia. The service was really good and friendly.

This Hi-Fi lounge passes the test. Sound system legit. Audio clear and true. Feeling laid back and open—not fussy. Musical stylings super solid. I really enjoyed myself here especially after trying out 2 other so-called hi-fi lounges which had systems that made me wonder if the owners had ever been to a Hi-Fi lounge before the slapped the label on the bar. But Curtis’ 👌👌👌👌 Not only that but the patrons here were open and friendly. We grooved together. We let loose. Strangers, friends for an evening with no concern of making it last. Living in the moment with the best vibes!

We were waiting patiently to enter but after bouncers letting in their friends first and other people that were after us in earlier but saying to us we cant enter bc „they are full” (a lot of people left int he meantime), we left. Very poor service.

This place was recommended by a friend that has lived in Barca for 15yrs (he wasn’t with us on this night). 

Myself and his brother went on Saturday 16 August 2025 night. 
As a person with an interest in Hifi and trying out these Audiophile bars over the past few years (where I live) in London I was really looking forward to this. Getting in was no problem at all. We went to the bar and my friend was looking at the selection of bottles behind the bar as he is a brandy drinker. I asked the barman if he could let me see the bottle I thought was Courvoisier. It was and I said ‘do you have Woodford Reserve’ (for myself). His response was ‘WHAT!’ So I said to him ‘that ain’t how you talk to customers’. His response again was ‘WHAT!’ At that point I had enough of this attitude, so asked his colleague next to him, wearing a baseball cap ‘¿habla ingles?’. …he just shrugged his shoulders. I have never in my life been spoken to like that by staff in any establishment, anywhere in the world. We are all of Caribbean decent and our friend that lives there the same, and said it normally has quite a few black decent customers. So maybe the barman isn't racist, maybe he has girlfriend or boyfriend problems. But that is no excuse for his awful attitude and service!!!

When I arrived early Friday evening, the doorman asked if I had a reservation and didn’t let me in. My date was already inside and had to come out to speak with him. She mentioned that she’s been there multiple times before without ever needing a reservation. So, it seems that if you’re not Spanish-looking, don’t speak the language, and are male, new rules and regulations suddenly apply. By the way, it’s just a bar, and it was very quiet at that time. No need to be so pretentious.

I had a nice time. Great sound system and enjoyable atmosphere. They have listening sections to grab a vinyl and experience the warmth of vinyl listening. The available selection was very slim and pointed ad rap old jazz and soul, although they have some others. Please come by they are very nice. Have a glass of wine or a coffee and chill Greta atmosphere.
