"There’s no better setting for rambling off the useless information in your head than at a vinyl bar with good cocktails. Because when you’re in a place that plays obscure jazz and legendary albums, you just seem 70% cooler. This Old City bar also has a fireplace where you can sip cocktails overlooking Second Street. They don’t serve food, but you can always start downstairs at Sassafras (from the same people) if you want cheddar curds before heading up and telling them how great they look over Wu-Tang.

"48 Record Bar is a cocktail bar and vinyl listening room that just opened above Sassafras in Old City. The two spots are run by the same team, but the experiences feel distinct. Downstairs, you’ll find people drinking penicillins and flirting like their midlife crises depend on it. Upstairs is like a friend’s swanky house party. Everyone's lounging on a velvet couch near a fireplace and listening to Wu-Tang Clan or Lou Reed. Come see what they have playing and drink a well-made cocktail (we like the Bond Girl and Red Ink)." - candis mclean
"48 Record Bar is a new listening bar above Old City’s Sassafras. In addition to serving cocktails, wine, and beer, they sell records, spin vinyl every night, and host DJ events. Tell your friend who's always sending you songs on Apple Music. We checked out 48 Record Bar and added it to Most Fun Bars. " - Candis Mclean, Alison Kessler
