Top 20 Cocktail Bars in the Bay Area.
“The beautiful Oakland bar pays homage to the record bars of Japan.”
“Happy Hour Goes Hi-Fi”
“Too often the ambience of a popular drinking establishment will be marred by the deafening din of conversations shouted over an endless digital stream of music. Not so at Bar Shiru in Oakland, California, where you can enjoy Japanese whisky highballs while a wide-ranging selection of jazz records plays on an impeccably assembled stereo system.”
A one line blurb… but hey, we were still in Rolling Stone!
“The Bay Area’s first hi-fi vinyl bar is a haven for audiophiles”
“Listening Bars Are a Dream for Vinyl-loving Audiophiles.”
“Uptown Oakland’s Bar Shiru is the godfather of the Bay Area’s Japanese hi-fi movement. The sleek, acoustically primed jazz kissa is modeled on the Tokyo originals, with an impressive analog sound system and a jazz- and soul-centric library.”
“Hi-Fi Cocktail Bars Aren’t Just for Tokyo Anymore”
