Art Meets Sandwiches

The Gramophone gives dive bar vibes and yeah, it started out as a live music venue in 2008 but don't get cringy - the only thing you're here to pick up is one of the most creative sandwich masterpieces you'll find anywhere in The Lou.


My go-to? I love the weekly specials and get big-time FOMO if I miss an entire week. Seasonally in November, they usually put an entire Thanksgiving dinner on bread at some point and I'm fogging up the window waiting for the doors to open.


The worst sandwich? There isn't one. Seriously, this place is a no-miss.
