48 Record Bar

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States

48 Record Bar sits above Sassafras in Old City Philadelphia, with a small listening-room format built around vinyl, cocktails, and programmed events. It follows the audiophile-bar model more directly than most American record bars: small room, intentional sound, and records as the reason to be there.

The exact gear chain is not public, so the useful detail is the format: listening parties, guest selectors, live events, album pairings, and a room designed for communal record listening.

Best for a small-room Philadelphia listen, especially on nights built around a specific record, selector, or event.
