Very warm and knowledgeable staff. They would produce greater sales if staff retrieved the requested vinyl took it to the register rang it up, had me swipe my card and encouraged me to come back again. Just a small week. read more

Elizabeth records is located north of the Ohio State University campus, on the edge of Clintonville along Indianola Avenue. There is an interesting & unique selection of vinyl records available at this store, and it is well worth a look to see if they have something in the music genre that you enjoy. Elizabeth's is also near several other local vinyl record shops. So if you are making a day of record browsing , this is a place that definitely needs to go on your regular list of vinyl record stores to visit as you make your rounds. read more

I noticed the positive reviews online for Elizabeth's Records, so I stopped in as I was looking for a few records for Christmas. There was a full section of Christmas records for $1 each. Most were used, some new! I've been to a few other record stores in Columbus, and this one is a little smaller (but still has quite the variety) and it's also fairly priced. The non-Christmas records I purchased were $16-20. There was a nice cat near the window, and the owners were very kind. Highly recommend! As a note, this is on a small strip of fun Clintonville shops, a movie theater, etc. So, you can make a fun trip of it. read more

Great atmosphere, friendly and informative proprietor. Amazing selection and prices. Jazz section is great! read more

Great little find! We happened to be in the area and we can't pass up a record store. Good selection and we found some must haves for our collection. The owner was very nice and the most adorable sales associate helping (his beautiful cat). We felt the prices were very reasonable. We WILL be back!!! read more

Saw the 'Black Lives Matter' poster and I knew this would be a great record store. I was not disappointed! Great selection, knowledgable owner and A CAT!!! read more

I love this little record store. I've been there a few times now, and both times I've found a stack of records. They have a lot of "classic rock" and 80's pop along with many hidden gems. That's why I flip through almost everything from A-Z. This last visit I found Walker Brothers and Ween! They also have a nice country selection filled with old school greats. And they have a friendly shop cat! Oh, and masks are still required. They do provide masks, if you need one. read more

I wasn't expecting much when I first visited this little shop. But after going through their bins, I was very impressed with their selection! I found a lot of titles that I don't normally see in the surrounding shops (and there are many nearby) and the prices are very reasonable. I like 45's as well, and they had a bunch of those too. Whenever I'm in the neighborhood, I make sure to drop by this small but mighty shop! read more

Found this store by chance with my best friend and we were like, "Hey, your name is Elizabeth, we should stop in!" We did and the owner was super kind and chatted with us about his shop. We didn't purchase anything that day but left with it in mind to visit again in the future. read more

Just left this record store. The place is AWESOME in so many ways. I found some good albums and the prices were fair. The artwork and memorabilia were also great. Bought some Motown, Bluegrass, Old Willie, Old Johnny Cash and some Rock & Roll. I could've easily spent hundreds in here, in a very short time. The main reason that I didn't give five stars is because this place smells SO STRONGLY of cat pee. I can't believe more people didn't mention that in their reviews I love cats. I loved meeting the cat in the shop. I have three of my own cats...just so everyone doesn't think I'm Cat Shaming or Hating. But when they pee inappropriately, it's overpowering and unpleasant. It definitely caused me to leave sooner than I wanted to. Another reason is that despite the other reviews saying the people here were friendly, we were barely spoken to while we were here. But every single one of my records had been checked and play beautifully. I have such mixed feelings about this place. read more

Very cool little shop. The owner is friendly and knowledgeable, there are album covers all over the walls. Mostly vinyl here, in great shape and decently priced. A few CDs. Lots of jazz, lots of rock, plenty of more unusual stuff. I'll be back, bringing Sweetie, and maybe we can rebuild our collections. read more

Great selection of appropriately-priced used LPs run by a guy that knows more about music and records than anybody really needs to. And be sure to check the $2 wall. There are lots of great finds there, and only $5 for three! Plus, 10% off if you follow them on the face books. It's a crate digger's delight! read more

Love this little gem of a record store on Indianola strip! Great selection (I like jazz and classic), and always different stock!

Elizabeth's Records is a cute and eclectic record shop along the Indianola corridor near Studio 35. Indeed, if we are heading out for a movie, we make sure to leave a little time to browse at Elizabeth's before the show. I can only speak to their CD collection, as I am not a vinyl aficionado. They do have a large selection of vinyl, though, as well as some eclectic CDs to choose from. I usually leave with 3-5 selections. The owners are friendly, as is their large cat. It's worth it to stop in and see what they've got. read more

I walked out of Elizabeth's Records with the following: a Jesus And Mary Chain promo cassette, a Skinny Puppy advance cassette, and R.E.M.'s Fables of The Reconstruction. All for $10. Do I really have to say anything else? The shop is small but comfortable, the prices are fantastic across the board, and there's nothing like seeing some handmade artwork from Elizabeth herself alongside Paul Westerberg-signed copies of The Replacements' "Pleased To Meet Me." What a wonderful, one-of-a-kind place. I'll be coming in every single time I'm anywhere near Columbus. read more

Elizabeth's is still a treasure chest for Record hunting at it's finest. The small, quaint record store that has called Indianola home for a few years now, still entices all record collectors with really great finds, and great condition favorites. It's my personal favorite haunt and secret for those who only stick to campus and downtown institutions. Will they have RSD new releases? No, but that's not a bad thing, either. If you really need a place to find some great rock classics, spectacular jazz selection, or even some 'WTF?' head scratchers, then this is really your place. That's really not all of it, either. They have some Latin, Soul, Country and a good selection of classical. The owners are always super friendly, and willing to help, or answer any questions. David is still one of the most knowledgeable people when it comes to music... hands down and it's not just classic rock, either. He knows multiple genres and ranges. The best part is that they're very adamant in keeping their stock up to par. Every week to couple weeks brings in new and great finds from nice collections. You won't really find a lot of junky vinyl that looks like it's been through a few games of Frisbee here, and this little Mom and Pop record store can tout that. Plus they always have such great and wonderful sales all year round. They've had multiple $1 sales... Fill your crate sales, and other sales you could really take advantage of if you're looking to expand your current collection. Just follow them on Facebook for deals and upcoming sales. They've even recently started offering turntable repair, and can even help you out if you're interested in maybe upgrading that crappy Crosley into something a bit more... well.. actually... a lot more nicer, and for a fair price. I love giving these folks, business. It's just a great little place, with the quirks that every Mom and Pop place should have. I'll gladly continue giving them my business, because they're what make small businesses in communities great. It has Charm/Soul and you're sure as hell not going to get that from the Big Box retailers. read more

First time checking this place out on Record Store Day- 20% off all of their vinyl! What a nice surprise. Cute little shop that's packed to the gills with older/used vinyl. Family run, and a nice mix of genres. I'm only taking off a star because they don't have any new vinyl, and their daughter Elizabeth (I assume she is the namesake?) must have been having an off day, as she was having a temper tantrum in the middle of the store. A mix between awkward and endearing, for sure. I would definitely check this place first if there is an older album that you have to have for your collection! read more

I came over to see what it looked like after running into it on Yelp. I was able to park almost in front of the store. And she keeps great hours; I don't know how she does it. Like most stores on Indianola, it's a little rustic but neat. She's got a great collection of vinyl and told me that it's making a comeback. She's a very nice lady and doesn't mind talking about her business. read more

Pretty decent, large selection of Jazz & rock/pop records. All used, collectible stuff, no new releases. There's also a small section of soul where I found a KILLER Impressions record. The hip-hop section is teeny tiny. Some world & exotica records too. Tons and tons of $2 records that are also 3 for $5, rather than a $1 bin. Lots of stuff I want from there, most prices seem to be $5-20 It's run by some good people, they gave me 10% off and we never even met before! Pretty dreamy spot to find used records for those of us that are collectors or DJs. read more

A great option for vinyl lovers in Central Ohio. The store may seem small when first entering, but they have a deceptively large selection of used LPs. On each visit I have been able to find multiple things that I cannot pass up. Prices are good especially in the large wall of discount records and the many racks on the floors. They also do a great job of offering creative, short-term promotional discounts announced via their FB page. I would recommend this store to vinyl lovers who are looking for a variety of styles of music and past gems to add to their collection. read more

I really love this little shop especially elizabeth. she is so adorable and so sweet. Awesome place to shop at for friendly service with such a cozy feeling of being there read more

I used to live across the road from Elizabeth's, but I haven't been for some time. They always had a great selection (Blues Brothers for me, Blondie for my wife). I loved chatting with the owners, and flipping through the bargain bins was always fun. If you're a fan of local stores or records, check this place out. read more

A very small place that opened just down the road from me. Be sure to "like" the page of facebook before going and you will receive a discount. This place is TINY in comparison to used kids, but the owner is much more into buying clean quality copies. He has a great collection of stuff that everyone wants in their collection (i.e. Beatles, zeppelin). I am currently into collecting a lot of the 60's and 70's soul, and he had a pretty good selection, last time I was in I got a 3 disc Stevie Wonder that I had been looking high and low for and it was only $14. I was also able to find some reggae artists that I don't usually see. The thing that really keeps me coming back is how small and quaint this place is. The only people I have ever seen working there is the owner, his wife, and daughter. They are all really nice and awesome people. Just the epitome of supporting a small awesome local business. read more

I was surprised to find out that Elizabeth is actually a little girl who sits at the counter and plays with toys and gets to listen to great music all day long. How awesome is that? Elizabeth's Records is a great shop on a hip little strip of Indianola. It's a small record shop, compared to places like Used Kids or Lost Weekend (even Spoonful), but the selection is still great. They carry a lot of local bands as well. Nice. read more

It took me hopping between five record stores today to find what I wanted, and I'm so glad I made this fifth stop at Elizabeth's Records! I was able to get the perfect anniversary gift for my husband (Woody Guthrie albums for our fifth (wooden) anniversary). I'll definitely be stopping by again! read more

This is a great store!!! There are tons of records, lots of great finds and reasonable prices! The owner is a walking encyclopedia of music, he really knows his stuff! I wish there was a place like this in my town, but for now I will have to settle for a visit whenever I'm back home in Ohio! read more

Great spot. You can snag some real finds and get reasonable prices on good, graded albums. Trade in seems low, but they're literally a mom and pop shop. Decent selection for small space. They spend time curating. read more

In general, a good record store. Their used section is actually fairly well-stocked, in contrast to many record stores that just stock their used section with a lot of dreck and then try to gouge you on the new releases. Probably not the place to go shopping for the hot new stuff, but that's not a bad thing. read more

I actually really enjoyed this place. It's not huge bus they have lots of good titles. I like that it's mostly used records. The ones I looked at were in great condition. Owner was super nice. I would recommend this place for the collector. read more

New record store on Indianola? I'm there! It can be easy to miss this shop, but it's in the same strip of shops that the movie theater is located. There are LOADS of cheap records to flip through here, plus everything in the racks is extremely neatly organized by genre and alphabetized, and priced really well. I came here because I had a few minutes to kill, and I am really glad I did! As far as I am concerned, there can't be too many record stores around. I'll be back here for sure. read more

I definitely echo what's been said already: Elizabeth is cooler than I ever was (choosing titles to spin: a Beatlemaniac :), and they have a great selection of used classic rock and jazz, among other genres. The atmosphere is not pretentious at all, and I found a gem after digging for a few minutes. Thanks, Elizabeth's! read more

Great store and very friendly! 5 star overall rating is well deserved. Stocked with a lot of records I don't see often at fair prices. I definitely hope to make it back sometime. read more

When in knowing nothing looking to get some records for my dad. Came out with some great stuff. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Just an amazing store. Very wide selection. One of the city's top 3 record stores. This is the place to go when you are looking for a specific album and want to pay a reasonable price for it. Only bad part is the limited street parking and Indianola traffic. read more

Easily my favorite Columbus record shop. If you are looking for something specific, they may not have it, but if you spend some time in the bins you will bump into too much music and wind up having to make some tough decisions. Great shop and the family that runs it are very nice and helpful. Records are priced fairly as well, which is becoming uncommon in these days of renewed interest in LPs. read more

A real nice, well-curated, used-only record shop named after the proprietor's daughter where I found some real gems on the recommendation of an acquaintance I've run into more than a few times of late. I'd certainly return to dig in these bins again. Best compliment of all. read more

Had a great experience today at Elizabeth's Records. Friendly service and the records are really well taken care of. There was a wide selection and even when the shelves didn't have the item I was looking for, it was in the back and quickly brought out to me. They're also very kid friendly. My three-year old enjoyed himself and the music. read more

I love this record store! I would say it is my favorite in the city. We went here for some advice with our record player and they were so nice and helpful. The selection of records here is amazing. It is really nicely laid out and easy to find what you're looking for. The prices are also really competitive. read more
