This is analogue listening — a break from the algorithm, the scroll, and the skip button.
Just music, people, and the shared act of paying attention.
Inspired by Japanese listening rooms and long afternoons spent discovering music together, Vinyl Freak is a monthly vinyl listening club for people who love records, sound, and slowing down.
Blurring the line between food, drink, and music, Vinyl Freak turns Funhaus Factory into an immersive vinyl & burger bar – serving milk-bar and street-eat nostalgia, cheeky Saturday cocktails, and records worth sitting with from start to finish. It’s music you listen to properly.
On the third Saturday of every month, music lovers, collectors, DJs, and curious listeners gather to share vinyl, spin full records, and talk it out — a book club for albums rather than books. Bring a record you love, drop the needle, and share why it matters: the artist, the pressing, the sound, or the memory attached to it. These sessions are about discovery, high-fidelity listening, and the simple pleasure of paying attention together.
The first Vinyl Freak will be open-ended and genre-free, giving our listening community space to shape what comes next. Bring a record to play and help us feel out whether future sessions lean into genres, decades, themes, or deeper listening dives.
Expect records played in full, good sound, good food, and time set aside to listen properly.
An afternoon of analogue listening, shared curiosity, and getting out of the algorithm for a while.
No playlists. No skips. Just records, sound, and people in the room
Enjoy $15 cocktail happy hour from 12pm – 1pm + Delicious burgers and street food from Beau’s Burgers.
