Anyone read this NYT story about analog audio bars?

Is there anything like this in NJ?

Should we make one?

There is a great vinyl bar in Petoskey, Michigan called Malted Vinyl. All McIntosh electronics, Technics turntables and JBL L100 speakers. Patrons choose the records from the owner's private collection and the bartender puts the records on and plays one side all the way through. They have a pretty good record collection. I player side one of Van Morrison w/Joey DeFrancesco - "You're Driving Me Crazy" on a quiet Sunday afternoon and it was fantastic. 

New Jersey Yes! Someone come start one in Newton! Lots of available store fronts. Good parking.

I actually considered doing this in DC with my old all Shindo rig but I just couldn’t see it catching on so opened a restaurant that makes actual money.

I’ve gone to a few.

The experiences vary.

some are really focused on the listening. Others on the vibe and the social experience.

My own room compares favorably, with a fraction of the hardware expenditure.

i lived in nyc for 45 years  I move to the Hudson Valley and THEN these open up, 😝
