2006 Best Jukebox

ZuZu

In most bars, the jukebox is an afterthought: Someone installs random tracks, sticks it in the corner, and lets ‘Freebird’ drone on. But ZuZu’s bartender Jon Marko takes his jukebox seriously, filling the 100 slots with a personal collection of CDs that range from Supergrass and Dusty Springfield to the Everly Brothers and Sonic Youth and reflect the bar’s tatooed cocktail set’s tastes. Oh, and despite the cheeky ‘No Refunds’ sign, at ZuZu, there’s no pay for play.
