A record store, a bar, and a coffee shop under one roof! What more could you want?! I got into…read morevinyls a few months back and luckily for me I found The Government Center! I've become somewhat of a frequent flyer, trying to make it weekly. When I do I have a routine and have found some absolute classics for an unbelievable value. The staff and service is great whether I'm in the record store or in the bar the staff is always friendly and helpful. Sometimes just end up talking with the staff long after I checked out. I've gotten some great hauls at great prices. I've left there with 7 albums for $76, also have spent $50 on 1 album. The actual number of albums in the store isn't as large as some other places in the city, with that being said it's a good thing because the store isn't filled with vinyls no one wants. Quality over quantity never matters here. Which makes going through the selection so much less overwhelming than some places I've been, especially if you're newer in the vinyl world. I've been to almost every record store in Allegheny County. The Government Center is definitely in my Top 3, and it's not 2 or 3. S/O Walter and Baby I forgot to mention in my original review. Aforementioned the record store is attached to a bar. To be able to drink a few beers while you look at records, the vibes here are immaculate.

That's unacceptable and she was most likely given a $7 value of grenadine at best. I'm sure if they needed to they could have created a custom item and set the pricing but this business instead decided to prey and take advantage on someone who was too Kind to disagree and refuse the order. Shame!

Each level has different elements. There's stairs, as well as an elevator to access all levels. Prices seem reasonable for the things that they offer. Everything is well kept and in protective sleeves, etc to preserve it from getting worn. Every employee was pleasant and friendly. Not sure about parking as we walked. But, it's super close to the Heinz History Center so could easily walk from there. Well worth a visit!!

Eide's truly is a store with something for everyone! From comics to records, even toys and antiques…read morethere is a huge selection of items here to look at! There are multiple floors at Eide's and you can take the stairs but there is an elevator. Their floors are organized by the type of item they sell on that floor. For example, one floor is records, another is comics, toys, and action figures, so it's pretty simple to find the right direction if you're looking for something specific. The staff is also very kind and helpful. During my most recent trip I was browsing the first floor and found one of my favorite books from my childhood! It was only $5 and I couldn't pass it up. You just never know what you'll find here, but I can guarantee if you look hard enough you'll find some gems!

I didn't purchase anything so I didn't have much interaction with the staff. --Products/Service-- Varies depending on the location and inventory in stock. --Capacity-- Indoors can hold 15-20 people, which can be tight. I don't recommend coming here with any big luggage or bags because of bumping into inventory or damaging anything in the store. --Overall-- Great for treasure hunting your physical media or video game buffs.

Since I was there, I decided to peruse the selections of vinyl records for sale. They had a lot of really cool inventory, and even though I am not really a collector of records, I do still have some from when I was younger, and it was cool to see certain selections that I currently own, and the price that they are selling for. They also had a nice selection of boomboxes and other retro electronics for sale. This place is really cool, and the owner was spinning tunes, and was really nice and very friendly . . . Cheers!
