レコードBAR79.7
Ehime - Matsuyama, Chugoku & Shikoku
Tucked into central Matsuyama and known to locals as レコードBAR79.7, Record BAR 79.7 feels like stepping into a private collector’s listening room rather than a typical nightspot — think warm wood shelves, stacks of vinyl leaning like well-loved books, and a turntable that gets treated like a sacred instrument. It sits in the lively part of town within easy reach of the Dogo Onsen and Okaido neighborhoods, so you can drift in after soaking in the baths or wandering the arcade; the crowd is a relaxed mix of neighborhood regulars and music-minded travelers. The owner curates sets with obvious care, spinning city pop, mellow jazz, rare funk, and regional folk on quality cartridges that make even familiar songs sound newly intimate; occasional guest DJs and themed nights keep the lineup fresh. Low lighting, bar seating around the console, and the smell of espresso create an attentive listening atmosphere — perfect for anyone who wants to experience Matsuyama’s music culture up close rather than just background noise.
