Amber is a vinyl listening bar and restaurant in Gastown, set inside the Anchor Building at 99 Powell Street. Records, cocktails and food share the same room without reducing the music to background noise.
The room is Tokyo-inspired but Vancouver in tone: polished, low-lit and dining-led, with vinyl-forward programming and a vintage hi-fi system. The format points toward seated listening, dinner and drinks rather than a loud bar-crawl stop.
