Cocktails & Music Harlan Records is built around the idea to "listen more", inspired by our personal connection with music, local heritage, Japanese listening bars and the intangible effect of good spirits and great company. Uniquely located near San Francisco's Jazz and Blues music scene of the 50's and 60's where Union Square was the epicenter. Coalesced by vintage high fidelity to achieve the truest sound of the time resonates through a vintage Thorens TD124 powered by a McIntosh 2210 amp and JBL L100 and Sony SS-7300 speakers to fill the space. Drawing locals and tourists alike, Harlan Records features full-sides of long play vinyl records in a comfortable urban environment and a cocktail program inspired by classic recipes.
