Bar Gobo

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

Bar Gobo is a hi-fi wine bar on Union Street with a simple house rule: all vinyl, all the time. Wine, cocktails, food, and records share the same small room, and the listening setup has been treated as part of the bar rather than an afterthought.

The system currently uses 1972 Altec Lansing 846b Valencia speakers, a Dynaco ST-70 tube amplifier, a Resor 2500 rotary mixer, and modified Technics SL-1200 mk2 turntables. ArchiveElectronic tuned the room for acoustic clarity, with Space Lab involved on equipment supply and consulting.

The music policy stays broad and personal. Resident selector Paul shapes the room from night to night, so the bar lands closer to a lived-in record room than a fixed-format audiophile lounge. It suits wine, vinyl, and a system with enough character to make the evening slower.
