I Never Loved a Man (The Way I Love You) • This is the landmark 1967 breakthrough that crowned Aretha Franklin the Queen of Soul.

Friday Night Vinyl • Joni Mitchell

Joni Mitchell feels like she’s always mapping the raw architecture of her own heart instead of just singing about it.

ON ROTATION:
Court and Spark • The exact moment her folk roots collided with sleek, L.A. jazz-fusion. It’s smooth, grooving, and deeply sophisticated, capturing the complex friction of modern romance.

Overall, what she does really well is reject the safe choice. She constantly broke her own molds, forcing us to grow right alongside her restless evolution.

We’ll also pull some more records that we think you might like along the way!

We had a great time hosting last night in our Lounge! We had some good sips, quick bites, and fun tunes on rotation, and in return, you all brought the space to life! To everyone who joined us throughout the night: thank you, we truly can’t wait to do it all over again soon.

Whether you are planning an intimate dinner or a reception so lively it might involve some Greek folk dancing, our collection of rooms offers a distinct atmosphere for every occasion. We accommodate groups of 8 to 100 guests with flexible layouts that ensure your event flows smoothly.

Give us a call or check out our events page online to learn more.
