The shop is cute and quaint and I always appreciate being able to find and browse through records while in the area with family who want to some shopping. Yeah pricing is high but the price on vinyl has been high for many years. Selection here is curated and there is nothing wrong with that. If you end up finding what you have been looking for I suggest you get it because I ended up leaving a reasonably priced Outkast LP that I have yet to find, at that price, again in the wild. So do it - if you see something get it. I ended up buying some really cool inexpensive gold hoop earrings here rather than vinyl but only because I didn't find what I "needed" at the moment. But I was happy to see they had some apparel, jewelry, and some cool zines too. Worth a stop in especially if you want to find something unique!

I called to see about bringing some records by to see if they were interested in buying them & had…read morea good conversation with the owner who let me know what she was interested in & what she wasn't. I brought by roughly 50 LP's for her to examine & returned a short time later to be surprised she wanted all of them except for a few. Offered me a decent price for them all & I know she got a few gems out of the bunch since I wasn't concerned about getting top dollar, just wanting to move a few of my sister's massive collection. Great store with quality over quantity, no CD's, but they do have cassette tapes, turntables & some nice accessories. I'll be back for sure.

This time around I found sentimental records for my keepsake and of course the employee here was amazing per usual, and let me hear the used vinyl.

I love this neighborhood gem and I'm also going to look out for some local events that they host moving forward.

When I've recently met some Dallas artists that I ended up performing at Top Ten with, it messed me up that this spot's on the same street & that I never knew about it this whole time. Finally coming around to perform here & all that led up to it was a great experience. The communication was always good to make sure things would go good (all the way from social media to being on location for the day of the show). The sound guy was efficient & always made sure the artists & I were set for the night. The sound was good, the crowd enjoyed the night. The staff was nice as well, very friendly & were letting us in on some future plans dealing with music shows. One thing I didn't get a chance to do was dive fully into the selections of vinyl on deck. The spot is intimate & very suitable for DJs to spin, open mic, spoken word, etc type of events. It didn't take long for me to plot on the next show to do here. Outside of having a great show, I had a great night overall.

First of all, the Bishop Arts District itself is incredibly charming. Block after block of unique shops ranging from bookstores and bakeries to candle shops, candy stores, coffee spots, and little boutiques. It's exactly the kind of neighborhood I loveeeee exploring while traveling and if I lived in Dallas, I'd probably frequent this area often. As for The Wild Detectives, the concept alone immediately appealed to me...bookstore meets cafe meets bar meets restaurant. That combination will pretty much always grab my attention. I love to read, I love to eat. The space has a pretty relaxed, community oriented vibe, and during my Saturday morning/early afternoon visit, there were plenty of people working, reading, chatting, and hanging out both inside and on the patio. My one slight disappointment was that the bookstore side itself was smaller than I expected and didn't have quite as extensive a selection as I had imagined. That said, I still managed to leave with a few great additions for my ever growing TBR pile. Overall, this was a worthwhile stop and one I may revisit the next time I'm in Dallas.
