This 14th street record shop has been around for about twenty years or so and they have a small…read morebasement location. Because of the location, you might call it a hidden gem. Here is a fun fact, they're the first dog-friendly record shop in DC. They've got loads of different genres on a variety of formats (CDs, vinyl, cassettes). Genres ranges from international music and jazz to rock and dance and everything in between. They buy records too. They also have a listening station. Love the design: Band posters covering orange painted walls. Prices are decent and pretty fair. They've got some bargain bins too. Always like stopping by and browsing when in DC.

You could easily spend more than an hour and then look at your watch dumbfounded at how much time you spent in there. Can't recommend this place enough.

I bought a 13.99 uhd. I gave the female working with short curly hair my credit card and frequent…read morebuyer club. Kinda hoping since my purchase was $1.01 from $15 and $0.13 from 15. What really pissed me off which is why it will be a long tile before I come in again is because of the cashiers attitude. She asked me if I wanted a receipt as said no, she first slided my credit card to me and slided my frequent buyer club card to me without saying a word. I asked if I could get a stamp she said I need to spend $15. When I handed her the frequent card what happens to nice customer service. What about sorry sir but you need to spend $15 instead of just sliding it to me like she has a chip on her shoulder and saying what she said in a snotty way. I saw you had uncle buck for $29.99. I thought about coming back to buy that later. But let me guess. Since I would be $0.01 under $30?? Uncle Buck is OPENED and they are selling a used / opened for $29.99 and you can get it Brad new on Amazon or Barnes & Noble for $22.49 Your frequent club could be designed to be more useful to your customers instead of making it pointless if you spend $13.99 Update it for 15 stamps if you spend $10 or something like that. What really pisses me off the most is my cashiers attitude. I didn't feel worthy of taking her precious time or made you feel like am appreciated customer with her attitude. Looking at other negative reviews they don't care about good customer service. I sent an email to dave@cdcellar and it was IGNORED.

I'm old enough to remember when they were in Georgetown back in the day. Oh so many fond memories…read moreof old school Georgetown like Commander Salamander. Wow what a shop that was. Anyway... Smash Records continues to be the record store it started as, an indie shop selling punk, hardcore, metal, etc. records, books, CDs, and so on. They've got new and used media and books. The clothing selection is pretty rad too with skater stuff, band shirts, and so on. This is one of my favorite places to crate dig. The vibe is totally old school DC punk rock and I really love how they've held on to those roots and beliefs. I've caught a couple of live shows here as well. Absolutely one of the best places for music shopping. If you're in DC, show them some love.

You don't have to work around and search albums are by genre and in order. The store is spacious multiple people can be in the store and move around without bumping into each other.

Byrdland was the only record store in DC that was advertising a listening party for Tame Impala's…read morenew Deadbeat album on the 17th of October, the other was a spot out in Baltimore. And the event was free! This reminded me of the Pennsylvania Ave. Tower Record Days in the early 90's, when all you had to do was show up and it was a party onsite. Damn, I miss the old DC. Anyways, I reserved a ticket on DICE, when I got there no one asked about a ticket, which was great. They were just happy people came! You could choose from a button, sticker, and some other promotional item. Of course they had the vinyl for sale, I did have a chance to check out their selection of records, appeared pretty diverse, however, I am not a collector of vinyl so, don't take my word for it. The staff, of two men were hospitable, showed me to the listening room, a large area in the back where people were sitting around having casual conversation. It was around 25 people or so. The sound system was good. I'd already heard the album that morning and in my unsolicited opinion my favorite tracks so far are No Reply and My Old Ways. I'm waiting on the remixes and collabs. Met some cool people. Didn't feel rushed. They looped it and played the album again for the late comers, which I appreciate. There was a drawing where two guests won a free album and some other promotional items. Byrdland does listening parties regularly, so get ready if you're a Florence & The Machine fan (event already posted). Byrdland has picked up on the much needed, meet- in- person over music tradition that we've all been missing. And I love it!

It's in Union Market just a few doors down from the new F1 Arcade... parking right nearby may be tricky, but there's always the Union Market parking lot and more options if you're willing to walk a bit. It may not be ideal on really cold days. They have a spacious outdoor seating area, and entry is easy -- just show your ID, ticket, and you're good to go. I'm not sure if it was because of the show, but there were just a few tables along the closest wall and near the stage. I would see there were five to six high tables total. Before ordering anything, I grabbed the only table left -- I had a feeling the others coming would appreciate that. I had already eaten, but I absolutely had to have the jerk chicken sandwich, it looked too good. I ordered it at the bar, was given a buzzer, and it was ready in about 10 minutes or so. It was indeed tasty! A bit pricey to just be the sandwich and nothing else, but it was good. The bar is fully stocked, and there are water cups at the far end to refill at your leisure. The show itself was really fun -- vocals and the sounds of the instruments were excellent. Certain vocals got drowned out by certain instruments, but that's just how sound works, you know? All in all I'd come back to this venue, it was a vibe with the disco ball overhead! I don't mind it, but for the less tech savvy, I could see the dependence on an app to retrieve the ticket for the concert being an inconvenience for some. There was no way to pull up the ticket without downloading Dice and activating the QR code on there.

You would think that Union Station that they would be charging premium prices, but I found their prices to be quite reasonable. David, the owner (I think he's a co-owner with one of the person) is an absolute pleasure to deal with! In addition to his duties at the record shop, he is also responsible for the farmers market, which is open outside during the week and the indoor flea market if you will. I did not take a picture of David's store, but I think I have a picture of Union Station building that utilized spaces for my own business. God bless you! I pray that you have an opportunity to and step inside rail records in books in downtown Washington DC at Union Station.

Taynsha my sales rep made sure I went home with a fabric package to help me decide .. it was very helpful. I bought this during president's day sales I'm so happy with my choice. Not only does it look nice, it's also so comfy. I find myself falling asleep for hours on my sofa. Something really foreign to me but thankfully is the main essence of this purchase.
