Retro trends such as film cameras , roller skating rinks, and black and white photo studios are continuing
steadily. Faster, faster!
It is worth noting that, unlike shouting and changing, the trends and values that people pursue go back to the past. The “LP bar,†which was maintained mainly by enthusiasts, is one of them. More and more people are looking for the warm sound mixed with slight noise made by a sharp needle sliding along the line.
In Gangnam, you can find LPs
that evoke an analog sensibility and stores that satisfy a modern sensibility. For the younger
generation, we will introduce BEST5, an LP bar that brings back old memories to older generations with a different kind of fun and experience.

29,000 won â–²Review (A leisurely meal): 1950 (?) I know the best LP bar in Seoul where you
can listen to music with large ALTEC speakers,
vacuum tube amplifiers, and 20,000 LP records made in the era. It's fun to watch DVD videos of old singers who appear in the middle of the middle. There's a smoking room for smokers, so it's comfortable, and I like the fact that the
women's bathroom is thoughtful. There are a variety of snacks, they are cheap, and the taste is good. And the best part is that I have a favorite Weihenstephan draft beer
2. Luxurious analog feel, Cheongdam-dong Carpenters
“Carpenters†in Cheongdam-dong greets you with a Beatles frame on the stairs leading down to the entrance. It
is a place where you can feel the analog sensibility with the interior using an LP board. People love it because they can enjoy vivid music with large speakers and screens located all over the place. Occasionally, you can also see people surrendering themselves to the music in response to the requested song. They also sell light snacks that can be eaten
with various alcoholic beverages such as wine, vodka, and cocktails. There is also a private space and room-shaped group seats, so it's great for parties and dinners.

3. A place to share memories, Apgujeong Traffic
“Traffic†is an LP bar with a modern atmosphere located on Apgujeong Rodeo Street. On the wall, you can see more than 15,000
LPs collected through auctions in places such as Hoehyeon-dong and Cheonggyecheon from when the boss was
twenty years old . The number of albums from the 1970s to 1980s was the most,
perfect for enjoying 7080 old pop. Traffic has many one-person seats for customers who want to enjoy quiet time alone and enjoy music. Note that the boss also has an event every year where CDs produced with a chosen theme are distributed to customers.

4. Garosu-gil “Muse Onâ€, full of vintage sensibility
'Muse On' is a music room and LP bar run by CEO Kim Won-sik, who runs Philharmonic. It is a place where you can see various vintage products such as vacuum tube audio , gramophones, and records purchased at a flea market in the UK. It takes
into account the age, taste , and gender of the customer and plays bridge music in the middle, so they don't feel deviated when it comes to enjoying music. It is
popular among people of all ages, from 20s to 50s, with a sense of music selection and witty DJ conversations.

â–² Review (Shikigin lc3 lc3 Clown l): You can also listen at a high level to see how Eric Burden differs from previous titles, from early back to rare editions. You can feel the truth here that even with the same title, things in the beginning and in
good condition are different, starting with their sound quality.
5. Garosu-gil “Geshu-ji†boasts a clean sound
“Gesufu†is located on Garosu-gil, where an LP bar and LP shop are operated together in a spacious space. The candles on each table create a soft and cozy atmosphere. This
place uses Western Electric speakers used in American movie theaters. Music from before the 80s uses speakers from the 50s, and later music plays music using
speakers from the 80s. It is characterized by being able to enjoy clear sound quality by minimizing noise. On the stage set up on one side of the store, customers can also perform their own performances. At Geshuu, you can enjoy unique fermented beers such as Trappist beer, wine beer, and the like that
Belgian monks drank.
