Long Play

Part Danish minimalism, part Italian old man cafe, the Long Play aesthetic is simple yet admirably effective. A seat at the bar reveals a solitary turntable spinning a wide-ranging vinyl collection. Myriad Italian aperitifs adorn the shelves and bartenders knowledgeably spruik the Old World wine list, which is rounded out by local drops. The cocktail list sticks with the classics, and a modest kitchen delivers beyond its means: things like meatballs, cold cuts and antipasti, which partner perfectly with a big red. Venture out the back on certain nights for cult film, or live music in the surprisingly large hidden cinema.
