The grand opening of Bishop Arts’ first vinyl record listening lounge will take place this Friday, July 7, at 7:00 p.m.
Ladylove Lounge & Sound was conceptualized by music lovers David Grover and Kate Siamro, who currently own Spinster Records and Reveler’s Hall.
The lounge will take over the former Grilled Cheese Co. space at 310 W. 7th, and the Advocate reported last year that Grover and Siamro have plans for the alley behind the lounge, as well as a bakery/brewery in the adjacent storefront.
Vinyl record listening lounges are a Japanese bar concept, a statement about the grand opening said, and have emerged in recent years across New York City, L.A. and Mexico City.
The lounge will boast a cocktail menu of eight signature drinks and three cocktails, and tapas style small bites to munch on. Fresh popcorn, watermelon salad, sliders and more will range from $5 to $16.
Food programming at Ladylove will be run by Taco Y Vino owner Jimmy Contreras.
“Bites mirror the space in being high brow, yet approachable. The main focus for food was to create tasty options you can still get late into the night,” the statement said.
Grover told the Advocate that Ladylove Lounge & Sound will be a late night spot, open until 1 a.m.
The lounge will spin vinyl “at all hours” (“nothing will be played unless its quality”) and a curtained stage will allow for surprise musical acts.
