What People Say

Reviewers on TripAdvisor and OpenTable praise Sunday Vinyl for its exceptional wine list, knowledgeable staff, and vinyl-spun soundtrack that enhances the atmosphere. Many highlight the “perfect pre-concert stop” feel, with standout dishes like the duck confit and house-made pasta.
