Listening Bars in Bangkok

(bangkok)(listening bar)(music)(design)(culture)

Born in Japan in the 1920s, the listening bar began as an intimate space where people gathered to hear jazz in small coffee houses. Once considered a luxury, it became more accessible in the 1960s with the rise of Japanese audio brands.

Today, the concept has spread to major cities from Tokyo to New York, London and Bangkok. It has evolved into a more contemporary experience where people come not only for curated vinyl selections, but also for the atmosphere and the carefully considered design.
