Listening Room

A speakeasy-style listening room appears almost every Saturday behind the secret door in our cafe. The small and very carefully chosen wine & beer menus are curated alongside our High Street location. Vinyl is curated and spun by the venerable Jared Archdeacon with visual and cultural curation directed by Ms. Prerna Sekhri. Founder Patrick Barter has been known to make an appearance behind the drumset.

The Listening Room is a blossoming space where solo listeners and appreciative small groups can come together and enjoy what cannot be found elsewhere in Boston, or arguably, anywhere.

Informed by Japanese Jazz Kissas, it is intended to be a space for active listening. We're spinning what we consider to be profound and underappreciated music that rewards all the attention a listener gives it.
