Audio bars?! It’s NYC! Go out and listen to some live jazz at the Village Vanguard, or the Blue Note. It’s one of the few places in the USA that features live jazz every night. Well, that’s what I’d do. Dress up, and go out!
New York City Audio/Hifi Bars and Cafes
I’m going to be in NYC for the holiday and may have some time to check a couple out. Any suggestions or experiences will be super appreciated. Looks like NYC area has about 6.

Collectively, most of them can be found across these links https://pirate.com/en/blog/listening-bars-new-york/ https://www.roxyhotelnyc.com/stories/vinyl-revival-guide-to-new-yorks-listening-bar-scene/ https://www.theinfatuation.com/new-york/guides/vinyl-listening-bar-nyc Note the upstairs at Public Records has some custom OJAS which are worth hearing.

Some of the most enjoyable sound i've heard are the upper echelon nightclubs...strip clubs too...who spent the money on audio. (NYC prolly has its fair share) The type of 'hifi cafe' you're seeking could be let-down systems that put you to sleep along with some other sleepy old men. No attractive woman shall ever be there. |
You won’t find any real jazz / hifi bars … just a bunch of charlatans half assed soundsystems made like a pinterest board or if you DO find a decent system then the room will suck and people are all shouting over the music anyway. Living Voice worth a visit, but mostly you’re better off seeing live Jazz or go where NYC really shines, a CLUB! |
Not listening bars but… if you’re into record/cd shopping, like Jazz and depending what part of the island your on, check out Jazz Record Center and Downtown Music Gallery. |
