I've had fun watching these videos on YouTube, sponsored by Asahi, about music listening bars. My oldest kid has been bugging me to do a Ramen tour of Tokyo, I may have to agree, on the condition that every night we try a different listening bar. This one uses JBL DD55000's (unfortunately, they don't go into too much detail about the music systems):

I stumbled upon this one when I was in London earlier this month. But it is more of a bar with a nice system than a place for ppl to go listen to music. Supposedly the system cost $2 mil GBP. It doesn't look that special. Some of us probably has a better sounding system than that. :)

Both the Japan and UK systems... Loved seeing the systems, the spaces, and the dedication....
That UK system is not your standard DIY throw a JBL 2405 in here and an Altec horn over there sorta system. I'd love to hear it. It looks pretty special to me.
I hope it is still there when next I'm on that side of the pond.

I was probably too harsh given the 2 mil pricetag. Make sure you find a quiet time to go as when I was there it was packed with ppl talking. Ppl were more into their coffee than the music.
There is at least one in Manhattan. One of these days!
