Equipment Room Vinyl Listening Bar

Have You Heard of… Equipment Room?

If James Bond and a Kyoto jazz bar had a baby, it would be Equipment Room — a vinyl listening lounge tucked behind the Magdalena Hotel on South Congress. It’s dark. It’s chic. It’s intimate in the best way.

This isn’t your average bar — it’s a vibe-first, speak-softly kind of place. You’re surrounded by vintage speakers, Japanese-inspired interiors, and a playlist that makes you feel like you’re in a Tokyo backroom in the ’70s.

🎧 What to order:
The Pulsewidth — a cocktail that reads like a poem and drinks like a dream. It’s made with Amabuki Shuzo Ichigo Sake, Eiko Fuji Honkara Sake, Calpico, blue spirulina, tonka beans, coconut, and lemon. It’s bright, complex, and wildly smooth.

Come for the playlist. Stay for the soft glow. Order another round just to hear how the next track hits.
