Citizen Vinyl is a communal space housing a record press facility, café, bar, recording studio & analog art & record store – located in the historic Citizen Times building in downtown Asheville. This grand civic space serves to celebrate the history of manufacturing & craft – alongside the current state of music, food & beverage within our local community.
Session Café and Bar:
Come see why the Citizen Vinyl experience is one of Esquire's top bars in America.
Session Café and Bar features Coffee & Espresso from Counter Culture. Session offers a vibrant breakfast, brunch, and lunch menu from 9am-2pm. We also have a full bar with handcrafted cocktails and mocktails. Join us from 9am-3pm, Mondays-Thursdays; 9am-6pm Fridays-Sundays, and special evening hours during events.
Coda Analog Shop:
Our vision extends beyond record manufacturing to becoming a nexus for creative collaboration. We have teamed up with two of Asheville’s celebrated makers, Justin Rabuck and Brandy Bourne of Horse & Hero gallery and The Big Crafty, who are curating a collection of local and regional art to complement the vinyl vibe and the mid-century ambience of the building.
Coda Analog Shop showcases a rotating roster of Western North Carolina artists alongside new and used records for sale and an assortment of Citizen Vinyl merchandise. The retail space offers everything from freshly pressed records and home decor to the perfect gift for your friends and family.
