Stylus Soundlounge

Stylus Soundlounge is the disco noir listening bar next door to Soul Gastrolounge at The Pass, north of NoDa. The bar is built around owner Andy Kastanas’ collection of roughly 40,000 vintage records. The music is the point here, and the bartenders work closer to chemists than to pourers. Small, dark and cozy, and unlike anywhere else in the city.

What to know

• The bar works as a nightcap after dinner at Soul Gastrolounge.
• The record collection is the programming, not background noise.
• The sound system justifies the concept.
• The bar is a destination on its own for anyone who cares about records.
