Cult is a speakeasy listening bar inspired by Japanese listening bars that focus on quality, unique and simple atmosphere and music selection without prejudice. In the 1950s, simply playing music from vinyl records in venues of this caliber became a unique affair for music connoisseurs and later even for the general public. Over the decades, the quality of listening bar equipment and the sophistication of the production and the whole bar concept improved until it was taken to the next level and ordinary record bars became a cult. The cult of the listening bar. We at Cult want to continue this tradition of simplicity, quality and unbiasedness and provide the best possible experience for our visitors, both musically, gastronomically and atmospherically.
The cult is hidden in the basement of the Tvaroh Café. You can tell if the Cult is open by the red neon on the building. If the neon is shining red, you can walk through the café to the basement where you will find listening bar.
