But at The bar’s beer, wine and cocktail menus will scroll by on two monitors in green phosphor letters against a black screen. It’s a look familiar to anyone who owned a computer in the 1980s or has seen “Alien” or “The Terminator.” The retro screens are enough to elicit a nostalgic sigh from a science-fiction fan — including the owners, Al Sotack and Maks Pazuniak. Both are modern mixologists with résumés an arm long: Mr. Sotack helped open what is now known as “You take the sci-fi thing and the music thing, and you’re halfway to Jupiter Disco,” Mr. Sotack said. Sci-fi nuts will note the framed blueprint for Music lovers may be excited by the D.J. booth, which has a custom-built analog rotary mixer; the large, exposed Danley speakers on the ceiling; the subwoofers underneath the banquettes; the reel-to-reel audio player behind the bar; and the framed schematics of a Moog synthesizer. “One of the themes we explored alongside the sci-fi is the idea of analog or digital,” Mr. Pazuniak said. Jupiter Disco sides with analog. Music will range from R&B and garage band to punk rock and hip-hop. This marriage of drinks and discs is an old one: Scratch a mixologist and, more often than not, you’ll find a turntable owner. The partners want to make sure that platter-spinners feel as welcome as tin shakers. “In terms of the D.J.’s, we wanted to provide a similar sandbox to what we provide for the bartenders,” Mr. Sotack said. Or as Mr. Pazuniak put it, “It sounds awesome in here.” Jupiter Disco 1237 Flushing Avenue, (Wyckoff Avenue), Bushwick, Brooklyn, October.
