Gold Line

Situated beneath the Stones Throw Records office in Highland Park, Gold Line delivers a captivating blend of music culture and refined cocktail craft. Conceived by Chris "Peanut Butter Wolf" Manak, the space is crafted as a homage to Japanese hi-fi listening bars: intimate, moody, and vinyl‑obsessed. Upon entering, you’re met with an impressive wall of over 7,500 records—curated by Wolf himself—framed behind a rich walnut bar that anchors the stylish, laid‑back ambiance. The bar's aesthetic—dim pendant lighting, exposed brick, and lounge seating—feels both nostalgic and chic. Gold Line specializes in sophisticated simplicity: highballs and three‑ingredient cocktail classics alongside rare whiskeys, mezcal, natural wines, and craft concoctions. On weekday nights, bartenders curate ambient soundscapes via the in‑house vinyl collection. Weekends ramp up the energy with guest DJs spinning exclusively from the bar’s record vault. It's exactly the kind of place where music lovers, record collectors, and cocktail aficionados collide. Drink-wise, expect thoughtful, balanced cocktails that complement—not overshadow—the music-forward experience. Gold Line isn't just another bar—it’s a sensory journey through sound and spirit, rendered with authenticity and heart.
