Diners love the rotating vinyl playlist and the chance to even contribute a song request. Many note the welcoming staff and the way the space “feels like a secret speakeasy for music fans.”
The space is intentionally small, which adds to the vibe but can feel a little cramped if you're with a bigger group. Also, keep in mind that reservations are recommended, especially on concert nights—it fills up fast. And while the set menu is a highlight, it might not suit picky eaters.
If you’re heading to a concert nearby and want to kick off the night in a stylish, music-infused space, The Listening Room @ Tokyo Record Bar hits all the right notes.
