Miami
Dante's HiFi
Dante's HiFi is at 519 NW 26th Street on the western edge of Wynwood, and it was Miami's first vinyl listening bar when it opened in 2021. The concept comes from Japan's listening bar culture, where the focus is on the music as much as the drinks.
The bar has a state-of-the-art sound system and a collection of nearly 8,500 records curated by DJ and musical director Rich Medina. Seating only, and everyone has a seat because the room is small. Reservations are available and recommended. Memberships are sold for regulars.
The vibe is dim, the leather chairs are large, and the bar itself is well-stocked. It functions like a speakeasy in atmosphere even if the entrance is straightforward.
