    Risa D.

    Awesome music store that manages to feel airy and spacious and also packed with goodness at the same time. It's most notable for it's focus on local music, small indie labels and emerging bands. Phonopolis hosts an intimate concert series in store featuring record launches and touring artists. The staff are bilingual friendly musicians who seem more than happy to recommend new music for you to check out or just let you browse glassy eyed and inspired for as long as you need. Check out the stack of flyers and the list of upcoming shows by the door to get a good idea of what's going on in the local arts and music scene.

    An absolutely wonderful record shop, with a very wide range of genres, and with excellent…read moreorganization. The prices are a little unpredictable, some things seemed way overpriced to me, yet other more unique and rare things seemed undervalued. So: lots of fun to look through, and some very high quality recordings, old, new, re-issues, and unique new vinyl. I only checked out classical and jazz, my loves, but the other sections seemed chock full and varied. Glad that stores like this still exist.

    I was recently in Montreal so I made it a point to dig in nearly every record shop in town. Aux 33…read moreTours was pretty high on my list. The shop is located in a nice shopping and dining area of Mount Royal. The shop itself is very clean, well-lit, organized, easy to navigate. They had practically every genre with both new and used vinyl available. One of the biggest issues I had was the mixing of used and new records in the same bins. It just took longer too search through since I mainly was looking for used. Either way, I still walked away with some great stuff. Everything I looked at was in good shape. They had tons of new vinyl and reissues. Easily, the largest selection of new vinyl in Montreal. I also noticed tapes (fairly small) and CDs too. They also run a discogs account where some stuff on there may not be located on the main sales floor. The staff at the counter were friendly as well. I really liked Aux 33 Tours and would recommend checking it out!

    Our favorite bookstore in NDG continues to hold that title. We brought some books in, donated what…read morethey wouldn't make use of, and spent far too long roaming and acquiring books. I'm always impressed by the variety. You see something new every time you go in because they offer such an impressive collection of items. We even got hockey cards for surprise gifts for family this time around! Some items are more expensive but we got an edition of The Wizard of Oz that was still wrapped and originally worth quite the pretty penny that we will be gifting to a loved one. It was an amazing experience once again today. For the first time, I think I spent more time looking at their prints and I wanted to buy nearly every Singin' In The Rain one... Hardy Boys galore... it was overall just a lot of fun to visit this store. We'll be back for our quarterly visit in no time.

    If you live in the area and listen to vinyl records, you should come in here regularly…read more They have a section of newly acquired records, so once you've browsed their full catalogue thoroughly, it's easy to drop in whenever you're walking by and see what's new. They have lots of records for 5 bucks, which is something like an old movie rental price. Even if I only listen to something once, the experience is worth 5 bucks. They also have way more expensive records, like limited editions of Tom Waits or whatever, which occasionally run closer to a hundred. So there's a huge range, if you're looking to spending a tiny bit of pocket money, or if you're looking to make a major investment for your collection. They also have books. I honestly use the library for books more than buying them, but sometime when I'm in here for vinyls, something on the bookshelf catches my eye, and the prices are fair. It is packed, though. Sometimes where there are a lot of customers, it is very hard to move around and look for things. So much stuff in a such a small space is a double-edged sword. This 5-star review is for my visits outside of peak times, for the selection, service, and price. During peak times, maybe only worth 4 stars because it's so hard to navigate. But the popularity is a sign of the quality, so it's hard to quibble with that.
