EVERY 3RD SATURDAY, 10PM-2AM
MURASAKI SAKE LOUNGE
City Pop night returns to Murasaki Sake Lounge after a year of being on hiatus due to the pandemic. Join us once again starting on December 25, 2021 as we continue our monthly showcase of vintage Japanese vinyl records every 3rd Saturday. Before the pandemic, City Pop Night had been a staple of the Chicago vinyl music scene since 2018 where the setting, drinks, and music came together to evoke escapism and a sense of being in another place and time.
Enjoy a wide range of sake, shochu, cocktails, imported beer, and Japanese whiskey while listening to classic Japanese Jazz, Disco, Funk, and City Pop on vinyl in our 80s styled sake lounge in the heart of downtown Chicago. Hungry? They also serve Izakaya-styled Japanese street foods made by their long-standing Japanese chef. The menu features many shareable plates and entrees to compliment your sake tasting experience. Check out the menu here.
Van Paugam DJs from an extensive library of vintage vinyl from Japan including records from Tatsuro Yamashita, Mariya Takeuchi, Hideki Saijo, and Miki Matsubara to create a vibe, a mood, to transport you back into the cosmopolitan nightlife of 1980s Tokyo.
RSVP Strongly encouraged due to limited capacity.

Try the Takoyaki at Murasaki. It’s my favorite dish on the menu!
