    A funky dope record store across from the Mission Inn. Look for the sign against the bricks: o's in room are turn tables! Skip down the stairs and to the left, find a vibey little store filled with vinyl treasures everywhere. Up the walls, spilling from bins, and flowing into your ears. Retro look and feel. The space expresses sound, color, and art in a way that's mellow and overt at the same time. Hybrid store, museum, chill spot, portal to yesteryear.

    Up and coming record store about to blow up in downtown riverside - an area starving for more music stores.

My boyfriend is in one of the bands that played here which they've played once before. We recently got into comics and reading again so we went in to supper their bookstore. The staff was very welcoming and helpful when we walked in the store. There were so many book organized into their own sections. This made the book easier to look through. Recently I've been into horror book and that section did not disappoint. I ended up getting Stephen King's Pet Cemetery. The prices of the book were on the lower side which was very nice!. As for the concert aspect, it was another amazing hard core show. The bands were amazing and I have to give some love to the staff running the concert. A fight broke out and two members of the staff took care of it. They kicked the guy out who started it and was there for the guy that got hurt. Overall this is an amazing location and I will be back for another concert/book shopping session.

The employees were welcoming, friendly and made the experience fun. They encouraged us to join their (free) rewards program via their website and follow them on instagram for updates and other events. I preordered the LP, and pricing is slightly higher than the Bruno Mars website, but I was happy to support a local business. I picked up the album today, and received the same great customer service as my first visit.

    What a uniquely cool spot to hang out at. I was in the area during Easter visiting family, so I…read morefigured I'd explore and see what was out here. I looked up "records" on Yelp since I've been looking to rebuild my music collection with the termination of Spotify. It's got this old school arcade vibe, but there's a small rack with CDs, a section for records, another section for manga, merch and t-shirts in the back, and old school video games, consoles, and other stuff you can buy. There are two cabinets that allow you to pick games that you want to play, but don't take too long or you'll lose your credit. These games take quarters, so that's my gripe and what the minus one star is for. The workers here are cool and chill. There's a vending machine for snacks. I'll probably come by again one day when I'm in the area. It reminds of of the small arcades back in the day, so it's a nice trip to Nostalgia Town. There were two buddies who came in and got what sounded like was $20 worth of quarters to play. That was really awesome to hear a big chunk of quarters get dispensed. Have fun if you go!

    Worst Experience Ever. The owner has no professional ppl…read moreskills. His employee doesnt have the brain capacity to give me the correct items (consoles with right cords and controllers that dont work) and i had to waiste my gas 3 times thinking he had it right the second time. How does a console they sell me dont read disks and cant even find their inventory? I asked them multiple times if it works and correct and said yes like it bothered them. Sorry i asked. I even brought him chips and water and said thank you then turned his back to tell the owner i wasnt patient with him but has me waiting near 1 hour in the store helping other ppl that are just looking and not asking for anything (his friends) like get with the program. I was more than patient but the third time? Your waisting my gas for lack of attention. Either you dont know or dont care and it seems like he dont care. Then he almost didnt want to refund me or guve me recent repaedly trying to kick me out aggressively unprofessional. The the owner (white guy blonde hair) was jealous i had better yugioh cards than him and i was sharing my music to his friend. The owner said i was annoying his friend yet when i asked his friend he said that wasnt true. This is not the first time he acted this way with me and was hella rude. He gotta taste of his own medicine. Im sure the word of mouth will spread fast for the customers that witnessed it acting disrespectful and FAILURE IN PROPER CUSTOMER SERVICE. Rat nest was the correct name approach. P.s never speak of my family ever again, your the lowest. P.s Again, i recorded the whole thing the whole time so dont makee post it here.
