An audiophile listening room in Philadelphia, located above Sassafras, the Grand Dame of neighborhood bars. 

The 48 Record Bar is Philly’s high-fidelity audiophile lounge -- or, as we like to call it, a record bar.

Brought to you by the same team from Sassafras, “the grand dame of neighborhood bars,” The 48 is a 45-person capacity listening room and cocktail bar outfitted with an ultra-high-fidelty audiophile vinyl soundsystem.

Based on the legendary audiophile bars that have long accompanied Japan’s obsessive record collecting culture, The 48 also features a wide range of special programming, ranging from guest selectors to album/cocktail pairings to record release parties and our Hi-Fi Tea On Sunday series.
