The spin
ZEMA Vinyl Lounge
A neighborhood lounge devoted to vinyl, exciting cocktails, and the art of listening well.
Albuquerque's first HiFi vinyl speakeasy
A listening room with something to say.
ZEMA is a mood shapeshifter: a neighborhood gathering place where sound is felt, drinks are sipped with intention, and a night can turn into a memory.
Drop in, discover a record, meet Albuquerque’s artistic community, or make the lounge the setting for your next occasion.
