Located in the basement of Bunkhouse group’s Hotel Magdalena, Equipment Room is a collaboration between notable figures in music and hospitality. Stained glass accents, vintage furnishings, and eclectic artwork pay homage to iconic Austin venues and artists. The sunken entrance transports guests to basement gatherings, while the refined interior promises a niche, high-quality audio experience. Transformed from a literal equipment room, the space marries Japanese minimalism with the zenith of 1970s vinyl culture think faded terracotta, mustard and shag pile rugs. An antidote to artificial intelligence, playlist culture, and throwaway society, the latest in this considered breed of nightlife options can be found just off South Congress on Austin‘s storied, and aptly named, Music Lane. ‘Listening bars’ continue to be big news in the United States, as high-fidelity vinyl-only dens of high-brow music obsession inspired by intimate Tokyo hideaways crop up in cities around the country, with one objective: to transport us back to the heyday of vinyl culture and experience listening to a record the way it was originally intended.
