Plan your visit

Set your expectations

If you are looking for a proper gig with a stage, a support act and a ticket, this is the wrong place and Voodoo, the Limelight or the Telegraph Building are the right ones. What Bullitt offers is background music done properly. A DJ with real records, a good room, and no cover charge to sit and listen while you eat.

Vinyl Sessions Friday and Saturday, 4pm to 8pm Records played in the lobby, not a stage show Courtyard and rooftop bars Taylor & Clay grill restaurant and Tetto rooftop kitchen Walk-in, right in the city centre
Good to know before you go:

The Vinyl Sessions are the fixed weekend feature. Bullitt also runs occasional one-off music events and record-shop takeovers in the lobby, which it posts on its own blog rather than a ticket site.
