Why you goMusic lovers, rejoice! Here’s a place where the tunes aren’t just background noise, but front and centre, Literally. The first thing you see when you enter is a wall of records along with the night’s DJ hunched over the turntables. Named after an album by singer-songwriter Van Morrison, Astral Weeks is Perth’s first hi-fi listening bar, and part of a growing global fraternity of venues that play vinyl on high-end sound systems. Throw in a great cross-section of drinks, an unexpected address in Chinatown, and a steady rotation of events and guest DJs, and it’s little surprise the bar has been a hit since it opened in early 2022.
