A fabulous date night spot (or friendly gathering) with its niche being the ability to play a vinyl record of your choosing from their extensive list!

This place blew my got dam mind. So much fun, so much creative flavor. Really fun selection of music by the guests. Music choices are all great though, so it would be hard to go wrong.

Tokyo Record Bar is located downstairs in the same building as Air’s Champagne Parlor. I also have a review of Air’s. TRB is a neat little place. They only have a tasting menu so there is no hassling with a menu. We did the basic (2 carafes) sake pairing. Picking our songs and having the DJ create a unique playlist with dinner was a treat. Since we were in Air’s, upstairs before our seating at TRB, we heard several of the songs on the previous diners’ playlist and the two couldn’t have been more different. It will always be a different experience at TRB.

I dined here for my birthday and loved every minute of it! This place is so cool and I love how intimate it is (seats up to 16). As soon as you are seated, you scan a barcode at your table and pick 1 song from a vast list of songs to give to the DJ, so she can make the playlist for the night. Selections range from 1950s to now, which makes the playlist so unique.

Hard to get reservations so check back often. This is located underneath a champagne bar. Walk into the bar and they will announce you to the restaurant. The restaurant has curated menu that changes every week and seats 12ppl. There is also a curated record that plays during dinner and the music choices are amazing. The thing that got us was that the dinner wasn’t traditional Japanese it was a mix of Japanese, Italian and bit of American flare. Definitely trendy though and the ambiance was fun. Bring a small group or date for sure.

Definitely a fun experience and one to take your guests to to impress! First off, the decor was bougie New York style in a basement rather than Japanese style. The songs are selected by the dining crowd and played for the entire 1.5 hour experience, alot of options to choose from. You can optionally get a sake pairing with the 3 main courses, they go down pretty smoothly. The appetizer was an oyster, and the mains included a pescatarian option for myself and grilled pork for the regular menu. There was another sashimi plate to share and a deep fried croquette which were the only Japanese-esque dishes. The desert was a chocolate ganache which was very rich, and they end it off with a thick slab of pizza which you could take either way. Overall I would say it’s not very like the experience in Tokyo and you’ll eat less Japanese food than expected, but it was still a great dinner!

Absolutely insane experience last night here for dinner. Came to celebrate my husbands birthday – he is not easily impressed but this did the job! Great ambiance. Food was delicious. Did the omakase sake pairing & tried the cocktail. I read reviews that the food portions were small but we thought it was the perfect amount. We loved picking songs to listen to on vinyl. Highly recommend a glass of champagne at Airs Champagne Parlor before dinner.

Fun omikase spot in the village. Really good food from a rotating menu they change up each week. Their scallops and oysters specifically were amazing! Super nice staff and fun experience. Loud and lively – the record aspect makes it fun and adds to the ambiance. Highly reccommend!
