Mono Tape Club, a new 21+ "listening room" cafe and bar, has opened on the eastern edge of Fairpark.
Why it matters: It's one of the up-and-coming area's most exciting additions since Koyoté, a popular ramen spot, opened in 2024.
Plus, I can walk to it!
The intrigue: The cafe-by-day, bar-by-night concept is inspired by Japan's famous "listening bars," featuring a wide collection of vinyl and cassettes.
The menu includes espresso drinks and a variety of beers and highballs.
Tip: Bring your ID even if you don't plan to drink alcohol.
