The emergence of the creative industry in Sidoarjo is significantly influenced by the number of creative spaces popping up in the area. As we strolled around the hood, we’ve been caught up by Areaal Analaogue House, a listening space / spinning corner which provides a numerous collection of vinyls. You could enjoy a private listening session with the help of Areaal’s vinyls selector/operator. Plus,this space offers more about its delightful food and beverages.

One of the experiences offered is that visitors are required to make a reservation in advance by paying for the reservation as a guarantee of arrival. Lucky for us having this opportunity to be invited here and had a wonderful experience there. As the first time we arrived, we’re immediately greeted with warm-found hospitality by the household. After sweeping around the area, the host gave us a little tour as they explained the concept, food-drinks and any kind of services they would provide. One little fact to know, is that the indoor space can’t only be occupied by the customers who had made a reservation before. As we proceeded this pleasant tour, we felt that we earned the private-intimate invitation as we’re the only customers who enjoyed this corner. It’s gentle as it seems that the vinyl selector was so kind to spin us some music of his favourites. Wow, what an unforgettable experience we had there.

We felt the warmth and serenity when we were there. Visitors are also free to choose which vinyl to play or maybe they can bring up their own collection and play out their own vinyl at this corner. Excellent service and perfect ambience made us feel at home as we savored the delicacy of Areaal Anologue House. We had our chance to enjoy a variety of coffee and some snacks which were certainly delicious. Areaal Analogue House provides several mainstay menus such as goat curry rice and Roasted Chicken. One of our favorite menus is the Roasted Chicken with a juicy taste and special spices that make the taste of the food unique and of course, delightful.

You can visit this listening space at Jl. Cipto Mangunkusumo, Sidoarjo Regency. The Analog House area is open at 08.00–12.30 then continued at 16.00–21.00. Our advice is that you should make a reservation in advance as this listening room has a lot of requests and is always fully booked. A great fun experience by Areaal Analog House.
