ucked beneath Hotel Magdalena on Austin’s Music Lane, Equipment Room is a subterranean sanctuary inspired by Japanese jazz kissas. This intimate lounge offers a curated collection of over 1,200 vinyl records, played on custom vintage hi-fi equipment from Klipsch and McIntosh, ensuring an unparalleled auditory experience. The ambiance is meticulously designed with acoustic treatments, retro furnishings, and moody lighting, creating a cozy environment that encourages guests to immerse themselves in the music. The bar's layout includes semi-private seating areas and a VIP nook, providing both communal and intimate spaces for patrons. The cocktail menu is divided into "A-Sides" (classics) and "B-Sides" (modern riffs), featuring drinks like the "Medicina Latina" and "Your Hand in Mine." Complementing the beverages is a selection of Japanese-inspired bites, including Chicken Karaage and Okonomiyaki Waffles. Reservations are highly recommended due to the lounge's limited seating capacity of 44. Walk-ins are accepted on a limited basis, and guests are encouraged to cancel reservations at least 24 hours in advance to accommodate others. Whether you're a vinyl enthusiast or a cocktail connoisseur, Equipment Room offers a unique and immersive experience that pays homage to the art of listening and the joy of discovery.
