I am impressed that the folks that work here seem to have quite a good handle on the live local music scene, which is a nice distinction and helps him to really stand out. In addition to a great selection of vinyl, they also have some useful supplies available for dedicated record collectors. sometimes record stores can be "dusty" this one is well lit superbly organized, and a joy to visit. I've never been in this store that it hasn't been enjoying heavy foot traffic from other audio fans. This of course is a positive sign that the inventory here is worth coming in and having a look.

They sell A LOT of things besides records like incense, band tees, posters, etc. Wish there was a bigger selection of records with less known artists and a little more space between the aisles but not a big deal.

These days it's a street level entrance, but the absolutely amazing vinyl selection is still very much present in this new record shop located on Summit Street north of campus. most people would be hard pressed not to find several selections that they really like in this large shop. Truly incredible variety. As with most shops like this in the Columbus area, there are some vinyl record collector supplies available for purchase. True collectors and audio files will find this feature very useful. Friendly and talkative staff at the front desk, who are happy to answer thoughtful questions. They are knowledgeable so if you have something on your mind, hit them up if they can help you, I'm feeling pretty confident that they'll do their best. Parking can be a bit of a chore as there are a number of other retail shops in this immediate area, it is also a residential area, and a highly trafficked street. With a little patience, you'll be able to find something relatively nearby. Be sure and check the signs to make sure that you're parking in an area that is permissible.

Whenever I'm in Columbus, Ohio, Used Kids is one of my necessary destinations. I remember going…read morethere once back in the '90s with a much cooler friend, in what I believe was an older location, and being in awe of his ability to dig through crates and come up with incredible records by bands that I had barely heard of. Now I'm a bit further along in my appreciation of punk, hardcore, metal, and more, and remember him every time I come and wander through the LPs, 7"s and 45s, tapes, and more that fill its long shelves and multiple rooms. If you're not a punk and hardcore fan, don't worry. Used Kids has a bit of everything, and holds it all in an environment that's well lit, clearly marked, affordably/reasonably priced, and staffed by friendly, knowledgeable folks who won't make you feel like an idiot if your awareness of niche jazz or Eastern European post-punk bands doesn't equal their own. New music and old, used records and still-sealed wonders - it's all here, and giving yourself a copy of hours to wander is well worth your time. See you soon, Used Kids. You know I'll be back.

Returned today and the dude with an attitude was working and he was extremely condescending and mean spirited at the thought of be bringing my bike inside. I asked if it was against the cafe's policy and he said it was just 'common sense.' Whether or not the cafe has an official position on bringing your own bike inside is not the picture i'm painting, I'm just really disturbed by the condescending attitude and self righteousness for wanting to bring my own bike inside for safe keeping. I was honestly shocked by the treatment. Incidentally, the guy has an accent and long hair.

I never come away empty-handed, but you do have to allow yourself time to root around. Some things are well organized, others not so much.Today, I picked up 2 albums and 8 singles for $10!

If you are a regular customer, he'll even keep you in mind as he is out buying stuff.

I'm a huge fan of '70s fashion and absolutely fell in love with a pair of high-waisted, straight-leg denim jeans. Sadly, they were a bit too tight in the waist, even though the fit everywhere else was perfect. While I'm not overly fond of the pricing, I do understand it--because for the perfect, high-quality pair of vintage jeans, I'd absolutely pay the price. I didn't leave empty-handed though; I walked out with a super cool pair of sunnies that I'm obsessed with. Huge thanks to my lovely sweetheart for finding this gem of a store! I'm already looking forward to another visit and potentially checking out their Cleveland location as well.

This store specializes in vintage finds. they have furniture, glassware, jewelry, clothing, vinyl records, and a lot of other really cool pieces. You could spend a few hours in here, looking at everything they had. Their vintage clothing selection is quite extensive, although we both felt that the pieces were a bit overpriced. It was definitely a fun way to spend a few hours, but again we didn't spend any money because the clothing was so pricey. If you're looking for some unique vintage items this is definitely the place to look

I will definitely be going back to this hidden gem!
