As the rainy season approaches, are you ready for the moments of relaxation and unwinding that the sound of rain brings?
Why not enjoy vinyl songs that are even more attractive when mixed with the sound of rain?
Spend a special time at an LP bar or LP café in Busan, full of analogue sensibilities.

Muse On Haeundae

Isn't the atmosphere of a place just as important as the songs?
Muse On Haeundae is an LP bar with an antique vibe that will touch your heart.

As soon as you enter the bar, you'll notice that the interior is filled with records, speakers and other music equipment. It's not just decorative, it's real working equipment. Muse On Haeundae has over 10,000 vinyl records, so you could say it's an LP bar that takes music seriously. There are sheets of paper on every table so you can write down the songs you want to hear and ask them to play them for you. Some of the LPs are available for sale, so it's the perfect place for LP music lovers.

The furniture, lighting and props are also decorated with high quality dark wood to match the store's classic atmosphere. This beautifully decorated bar with a cool vibe is also the location for some celebrity photo shoots such as singer Suji, model Joo Woo-jae and Korean drama Cheese In The Trap.

Seating in the shop ranges from tables for large groups to single seats at the bar for any number of people. The window seats are particularly popular as you can open the windows and feel like you're enjoying a drink outside. Although you’re not allowed to open the windows on a rainy day, it’s still a different experience to sit by the window listening to music while watching the rain fall outside.

There's plenty of food and drink to tempt your palate, including wine, whiskey, cocktails, highballs and snacks.
With staff on hand to help with bottle openings and tastings, this is also a great place for first-time drinkers.

Mangmi Blues

If you’re a retro-obsessed hipster, Mangmi Blues is the place to be!

Retro music posters line the walls from the entrance to the inside of the bar. In keeping with the hip vibe of the posters, the layout and decor are nostalgic. Bookshelves filled with vinyl records and the LP DJ area add to the romantic atmosphere.
At Mangmi Blues, the DJ spins music directly from vinyl, without any digital sources. As the DJ spins his own selection of vinyl records, song requests are not accepted. You can just sit back, relax and immerse yourself in the analog world of the DJ's recommendations.

Mangmi Blues has a long bar table, two-to-three-seater tables and window seats. The bar table is great for solo drinkers, while the window seats are perfect for a nightcap with a view of the alleyways lined with the bars. The experience is even better when it rains.
Another unusual feature is the glass ceiling, which is only possible because the shop is at the top of the building. Have you ever wanted to stand in the rain? With the glass ceiling at Mangmi Blues, you can enjoy the rain without getting a single drop on your body.

The variety of highballs and food is also impressive. In particular, the basic anju (food consumed with alcohol) is served in sufficient quantities, so if you are unsure what to eat with your drinks, just try the basic accompaniments first before deciding what to order.

Listen Page

Rain can lower your body temperature and make you feel colder.
If you're in the mood for some warmth, head to Listen Page, a café where you can warm up to the sounds of vinyl music.

Listen Page has a quiet exterior with a mysterious sign. Known for its great atmosphere, the cafe is said to be sometimes crowded with many customers. While Muse On Haeundae has a heavy and dark antique interior, Listen Page has a warm and soft antique feel. The accessories, such as the wall clock, bookshelves and speakers, are also made of light wood to match the tone and manners.
There are a variety of seating options here, from group to solo seats. Due to the unusual layout of the room, there are also seats inside the arched door. You can choose depending on whether you're in a group or not, or what kind of atmosphere you're looking for.

Their signature drinks include chestnut latte, almond cream latte and wormwood latte. With your drink, you'll also receive a postcard with a heartwarming message. Drinks are served on a wooden tray, which adds to the warmth of the atmosphere.

Listen Page has its own mascot, a cute cat called Bami. You'll find Bami's imprint all over the place, from the glasses you're served in to the menu. Bami merchandise is also on sale and you can even get a free Bami-themed sticker to take home. So if you're a cat lover, you might want to check it out. If you're sitting at a table, Bami may come up to you and meow at you. However, please refrain from pulling her towards you or touching her as this can be stressful for her!

There's always a soothing soundtrack playing in the LP Café. In keeping with the cafe's heartfelt concept, there's also a space for sharing your own playlists - post-it notes from customers with their own playlists cover the space, perfect for sharing your musical world. If you have a song in mind, you can ask the staff to put it on.

Listen Page is open until the late hours of midnight, making it a great place to go if you suddenly find yourself craving vinyl music and a warm atmosphere on a rainy night. If you're not much of a drinker but still want to stay up late and enjoy the vinyl experience, this is the place for you.

alt.comma

LP bars are more about the atmosphere than the food?
Come to alt.comma, a place where the atmosphere, food and drinks are all great. It will be a whole new experience.

alt.comma is a whiskey bar dedicated to vinyl music, with a wall of bookshelves lined with records and beautifully displayed bottles of whiskey. It's a perfect setting without any special props, but what makes it stand out is the attention to detail. There's a sign on the table that says: "We have power banks, lap blankets, cushions and slippers available, please ask our staff if you need them.” It's a nice touch to make sure guests are comfortable and can enjoy every element of the space.

A whiskey bar can be intimidating, so alt.comma offers whiskey recommendations and friendly explanations to help newcomers navigate the bar. They also offer a sparkling water before switching to another whiskey, so you can concentrate on the flavor as much as possible. There are also plenty of light bites to pair with the whiskey, so enjoy!
The whiskey is excellent, as is the menu, which includes grilled octopus. The menu, both food and drink, is all QR coded and you can find detailed descriptions, photos and even reviews of the menu to help you decide what to try.

As a vinyl bar, you can also enjoy great music here. However, they don't take song requests so they can concentrate on bartending and serving customers. Think of it as a place where you can enjoy whiskey and good food with vinyl music.

Due to the small size of the bar, it would be considerate to keep your table for a maximum of two and a half hours to allow as many guests as possible to enjoy the space. Dogs are welcome, subject to pet etiquette. Bring your pooch along for a heartfelt experience on a rainy day.

Jeollamhoe

A cup of coffee by day, a glass of wine by night!
Jeollamhoe is a charming LP café and bar, open day and night.

Jeollamhoe aims for a quiet atmosphere and does not accept groups of more than four. Although the room itself is small, there are not many tables and the center of the bar is empty, creating a great openness. Water, tissues and chargers are available from the self-service bar. As a vinyl bar, there are LPs and turntables, giving the place a unique atmosphere.

The uniqueness of the Jeollamhoe lies in the QR-coded menu presented between the poetry books. There's something romantic about selecting a menu and then randomly flipping through the poetry book. You can feel your parched sensibility being replenished as you begin to enjoy the space.

Scan the QR-coded menu to see what Jeollamhoe has to offer. There's one part of the menu that really shows the uniqueness of the place: the menu names. The titles of songs from the first three albums by Korean musical duo 'Exhibition' are all incorporated into the menu names of the hand-drip coffees.
The signature item on the coffee menu is the Café Royal, which is served with a spoonful of a sugar cube on top of hot coffee, which is then set on fire and stirred into the coffee when it’s melted. It's a unique experience, and it's a great way to turn heads, so try it if you're an extrovert at heart.

At night it becomes a music bar. During the day it plays vinyl music only and song requests are not accepted. At night, however, it plays music with video, so you can request two songs per table. The requested music is accompanied by videos, making the experience even more enjoyable.

You can bring in outside food for a fee and enjoy the space. It costs 5,000 won per table, and you'll be provided with plates and cutlery to help you enjoy your food. It's a great option if you have food and alcohol ready, but not the space to enjoy it.
