Bars worth the trip

Eleven stops across the boroughs I keep coming back to after a day soldering caps and chasing hum in some guy's old Marantz. Jukeboxes that still run 45s, a couple of proper listening bars with real systems, and a few dives where the only tweeter that matters is the bartender's temper. BierWax is still holding it down on Vanderbilt, playing vinyl like it's 2017 and the term listening bar hadn't been invented yet. If a bar's got a turntable in better shape than the regulars, it's on here.
