Displays make way more sense now , they aren't just grimy clutter jammed together like before. The girls working there were also super friendly, welcoming, helpful, clean, didn't smell like BO and stale ash tray like prior employees, and they were knowledgeable about everything. Years ago it was a bunch of greasy smelly guys that were more interested in cringe bro gossip, hanging out, and texting than selling anything. The girl that worked there before had the personality and enthusiasm of a wet paper bag. What a huge difference! I just spent $180 on records and will go back in a week or 2 to buy more.

And if you stick around browsing long enough, he'll tell you incredible stories about famous musicians and his friends in the business. The atmosphere in his store is like no other. Wayne takes pride in the memorabilia he has on the walls and shelves, as he should! Each piece he collects has a story that's worth hearing. The walls are covered in artwork by local artists, concert posters of famous bands who performed locally, and some really fun stuff too, like a drawing by Bono that his friend gave him! Cool Beat has an awesome collection of vinyl. Both new and old and all different genres. The store is super organized and every artist/ record was easy to find. Wayne is always working on getting new music in so always check back in from time to time to find something new. He also sells cds, 45s, posters, and other retro Buffalo/ music related items. His store seriously has a great collection and his prices are extremely fair in comparison to other record stores in the area. He also has a stamp card to get $5 off when you spend $50. All in all, Cool Beat is hands down the best place to come if you truly appreciate music and want to support local business.

I also enjoyed the zine wall as this allowed me to browse local comic artist creations that you would not usually find. I wish I lived closer to this shop.
