For The Record - Vinyl Bar

For The Record is one of India's clearest vinyl-bar reference points: a small Panjim room in a Portuguese-era building, built around analogue sound, records, and cocktails that lean into local ingredients rather than imported bar theatre. The system is part of the identity: a handcrafted vacuum-tube hi-fi setup, vinyl-only playback, and a room shaped around acoustic listening. It feels closer to a personal listening room than a cocktail bar borrowing record culture for effect. The drinks programme makes heavy use of feni, while the record policy draws from Japanese listening bar culture without adopting a hard silence rule. Go for a conversational vinyl room where the music matters, the cocktails stay local, and the room still feels like Goa.
