Small Hours is a hi-fi wine bar in Northeast Minneapolis with the sound system treated as part of service. The room is set up for wine, small plates, and records rather than a DJ-booth spectacle: Klipsch La Scala loudspeakers, Cary Audio tube amplification, vintage Luxman turntables, and a Varia Instruments rotary mixer. The acoustic work matters. Small Hours uses acoustic panels and a custom turntable isolation system, so the system can stay present without wiping out conversation. That makes it more social than purist, but the music is still doing real work in the room. The record policy is broad and album-minded. Some nights lean into full sides of an LP; other nights can move from Alice Coltrane to Can, Curtis Mayfield, Steve Reich, King Tubby, The Blue Nile, and Joni Mitchell. Best for a bottle of wine, a table close enough to hear the system properly, and a night where the records sit just above the room instead of behind it.
