The Record Club
Visits
-
Los Angeles, United States
The Record Club is not a permanent bar in the usual sense, but it absolutely belongs in a listening directory as an intentional hi-fi album event series. LA Times reporting describes a setup using a Technics 1200 turntable, E&S rotary mixer, Audio-Technica needle, and venue speakers, with sessions structured around full albums and artist context. It belongs here because the etiquette is closer to cinema than nightlife: arrive, listen, shut up for a bit, then talk afterwards like civilized mammals.
