At the end of 2016 I began taking an interest in vinyl. Though I was disheartened by the cost of…read morevinyl and finding myself in a territory completely foreign for a 30 y/o who grew up in the digital era, with our Compact Discs, and hi-fi receivers I was really encouraged by the knowledge of the staff and their eagerness to share some basic knowledge to get me on my way. They educated me on what to look for when buying vinyl-especially used! Learning little things about the vinyl itself can help you avoid buying "hazy" "scratched" or even poor quality pressings. I have built most of my collection through Square Dog. Their are a few vinyl shops in town-and I appreciate them all. Square Dog just stands out in their ability to make suggestions, give knowledgeable advice, and they stock only quality vinyl! (Which may be an issue for some people-but you get what you pay for, and quality vinyl is not cheap!)

Square Dog claims to be the only store of their kind in a pretty large radius. I have no way of…read moreconfirming that, but do they live up to the massive expectations set by said claim? Mostly. Man, this place seems to have only had one guy working there for years. He's the owner, I believe. It's truly shocking how kind, patient and helpful he is. He's also knowledgeable on most things. I have never found anything I wanna buy here. Five years ago, their movie selection felt about standard. Now, their focus is instead music or books, unfortunately. I'm not a consumer of physical books or music. I hear it's at minimum, an acceptable selection. I can't precisely gauge the value for a few reasons. There aren't many physical media stores in general anymore, plus this guy is very particular about having an extremely high quality of used products he sells. To me, the prices seemed a bit high, but I guess I'm glad he wants to only sell used products that seem new. (Does he sell non used products?) It's an easy building to access, with a huge parking lot. That however, doesn't entirely make up for being closed on a weekend day (Sunday). It being a reasonably big store, COMBINED with the former, does make up for it. It felt like it was very clean on the inside, to a fault...he still has a clear glass panel in front of him at the cash register, and wears a pretty intense face mask with gloves. I'm not going to get personal, don't worry. I'm only mentioning this, because it seriously made him hard to hear when he spoke. So keep that in mind. He had plenty of customers on a Wednesday afternoon before a holiday. Clearly there's something I'm missing here. I've only been here a couple times in five years, so maybe if you're a regular customer, the experience is different and better. There's a few reviews on Google at least, of customers recounting their purchase experiences, that can be very enlightening. Overall, this store seems to have one employee, the owner. A man who provides good customer service, and is concerned about having a pristine store in more ways than one. I'm not sure how many customers he has, but he is still open, so maybe go check him out.

What an interesting find!…read more First off I love finding record stores to rummage through when I'm traveling but this place goes above and beyond that. Truly, I have never seen such a wide collection of DVDs, cassettes, CDs, and vinyl. Another alarming thing is how many of these items, such as the cassettes, are in the original wrapper! It was like a museum to the past, and I mean that in the best ways possible. It reminded me of the 90s being at the local record store combing the aisles for something that peaked my interest. This place is decorated with lots of plants, musical instruments and cats. Yes, cats. Apparently proceeds of this place help our furry friends and the cats often end up here as a second-chance shelter, so how do you not love that? The guy working there wasn't the friendliest at first, but once I started asking questions and buying things, he lightened up. I'm not sure if he thought I was just wasting his time at first or not. I'm sure a lot of people come here just to look. This place is a gold mine for anyone who loves music.

It's the worst "record shop" I've ever visited. Imagine installing a pawnshop inside the living…read moreroom of a hoarder house, and you've got a good idea of what you're in for when you step inside. It was cluttered and filthy, with various brass instruments hanging from the front windows. The sole employee, "Tim," argued with someone on the telephone while I was trying to shop. How do you pick out used CDs in a shop that seals 100% of its merchandise behind padlocked plastic sheets? (Please see the photos.) Plus, the selection sucked. Ending his phone call, Tim came out and glared at me while I peered through the plastic, trying to find something worth buying. I walked out empty-handed--never a good sign in a used record shop. Leave your wallet at home if you visit. You won't need it.

This is a pretty cool little spot. Funky and quirky shop that as just about everything under the…read moresun from musical instruments, DVDs, CD's, Games, Tons of Vinyl LP's, 45's, Sheet Music, Books, Electronics, Cords, Cables, and more if you ask I am sure. Barter for a great deal. Think of this place as a type of pawn shop as far as what they carry. They will buy used gear from you or trade. Pretty kick back attitude and funny signs all around the store. Damn big place too, so spend some time, and look around, move some boxes, look behind things, etc. Lot's of hidden treasures abound of things that you may or may not need. One thing that I noticed is the guy that works there can be left to man the fort by himself and it seems that all hell breaks loose when this happens (phones ring off the hook, customers come in with all sorts of questions, etc.). He handles the rush really well, so try to cut him some slack if he is busy. I see so many rude clerks and staff at places that are snotty for no reason at all, so when I see this guy busting his back and keeping his cool, he deserves some common courtesy. This is a cool, local shop that gives Astoria some quirky character that keeps us as weird as Portland will ever be, without as many Portlandia Freaks and Geeks to annoy us here on our mossy coast. SHOP LOCAL!!!!!

quite a drive for me living just south of Olympia, but well worth it, next time will give myself…read moremore time to enjoy the area & this amazing music shop. found Crossroads had the Martin in stock I was looking for thru the Martin website, had tried a big box music store near Seattle but pretty much ignored so walking into Crossroads & immediately greeted & attended to by Sara, one of the owners of the "mom & pop" musical instrument shop was very pleasant. The Martin Jr in stock was hanging with the other guitars was ready to play & she set me up to try it out. They had a good selection Martin accessories including a good assortment of guitar strings including the Martin brand so I also bought a spare set of the Martin LifeSpan Phosphor Bronze Light strings. I was short on time so did not get a chance to fully take in the ambience & experience of Dan & Sara's music store, but reading up on Crossroads before hand on their website & stepping into their store, I felt the warm embrace of some good vibes, and appreciate their community involvement in local music events in this very charming waterfront town. I like contributing to local businesses so I not only walked away with a very nice Martin acoustic electric guitar, it felt rewarding to give back. I hope to explore more of the Washington peninsula & look forward taking more time visiting Port Townsend & Crossroads Music.

Great selection! They had many more Ukes than your average Guitar Center and many higher end models…read moreincluding KK and Martin that can be hard to find even in Seattle and Bellevue.

My kind of music store - they are passionate about their stuff and it shows.
