We didn't open a bar and add music. We built a sound system and put a bar around it.

Odioba is a hi-fi listening bar across three floors on Lower Hillgate, in Stockport's Underbank. The sound system, custom horn-loaded cabinets, a rotary mixer, a DJ setup, was built by hand and tuned for this room.

An independent space that treats music with the same respect as the drinks. The name is a homonym for "audio bar"
