LB's Record Bar is Merivale's Melbourne answer to JAM Record Bar, but it has its own CBD personality. The room is built around a vinyl-only program, local DJs, oversized speakers and records sourced through Melbourne's independent-store culture. The design leans 1970s without turning into costume: carpet, warm colour, mirror-ball light, restored horseshoe bar and sound-treated surfaces. It is a record bar, not a purist listening room, and the energy is closer to a late-night house party than a seated audiophile session. Go for cocktails, vinyl and movement. It belongs on ListenBars, but the listing should make clear that this is a social record bar rather than a quiet room for full-album listening.
