The In Groove -- A Place That Respects the Music…read more There are record stores, and then there are places that understand what this hobby is really about. The In Groove is the latter. From the moment you walk in, there's a sense of order and intention. The space is clean, organized, and easy to navigate--something that might seem simple on the surface, but in reality reflects a deeper respect for both the music and the people searching for it. You're not digging through chaos. You're exploring a collection that feels cared for. As you move through the bins, that feeling continues. The records aren't just stocked--they're curated. There's a quiet confidence in knowing that what you're flipping through has been chosen, not just accumulated. For someone who values condition, pressings, and the integrity of the music, that matters. It turns browsing into something more deliberate, more enjoyable, and ultimately more rewarding. Along one wall sits a collection of vintage audio gear--amplifiers, receivers, pieces of history that remind you this hobby doesn't end with the record itself. It's about the entire chain--the system, the room, the experience. Seeing those components in that setting connects everything together. Music isn't just something you own. It's something you build around. What stands out most is how easy it is to slow down here. There's no pressure, no rush--just the quiet rhythm of discovery. You find yourself taking your time, paying attention, and reconnecting with why you got into this in the first place. The In Groove isn't just a place to buy records. It's a place that respects the process of listening. And that makes all the difference

There are so many other small businesses to support that won't talk to you in a disrespectful way. Please take your business elsewhere so you can be treated with respect and spoken to like a human being. The owner must have a fragile ego to be speaking in this way to people.

Came in for a party and it was exactly the kind of night you hope for. Great crowd, progressive and open, with that laid-back indie vibe that feels natural, not forced. The sound system was dialed in, the visiting celebrity DJ kept things moving, and the whole room just clicked. Cocktails are not really customizable, which might not be for everyone. Out of the two cocktails I tried, I really liked one. It's the kind of place you go for the atmosphere as much as anything, and on my latest visit, it delivered.

The guy who runs this store is very helpful and really nice. His customer service is impeccable and he goes above and beyond to help music and pop culture fans out! He has a vast selection of cds and vinyl and very much worth the value of listening to your favorite music. I got my cds for $16 total! I would say that's great value! This store also sells Funko Pops for all your collectors out there.

This is only my third time here and one of my go to places to get puzzles -- they have a whole wall of them! They seem gently used most of them, the few puzzles I have purchased there have usually an extra odd piece that doesn't belong or maybe 1-2 pieces missing -- which I think adds an extra challenge!! I think I noticed there was a deal for getting 3 puzzles but I can't recall what it is off the top of my head. Anyway, it was a bit more expensive for puzzles than the goodwill but I would say the quality is a bit better. I love a good community bookstore too -- this place is a gem and I hope people continue to support this place so they never go out of business!!

A really great selection of all kinds of books, music, video games, and more! Everything here is community-based, with the exception of selections here and there that are brand-new. So a nice way to support buying secondhand items from Phoenix folks, being more sustainable and supporting a smaller business, and overall just a good spot to come explore! I've found lots of cool vintage magazines, vintage video games, some vinyls, and a number of books here on 19th. I definitely recommend this location!
