    Stinkweeds is such a cool little record store. My bf showed me this place a couple years ago and we love to stop by every now and then, even if we're not looking for anything in particular. They have good vibes, good music playing, nice employees, and everything is organized so nicely. If you follow their instagram, you can keep up with events they host like listening parties and signings. Today, I bought this Thee Sacred Souls album for $25.

    Best record store this side of the Cuyamaca Mountains. Been seeing Lindsay and Kimber here since the 90s and the team is unmatched. They go out of their way for amazing service via social media, phone call or the best way, which is one on one in person. Can't breathe the price because it goes straight into our local pockets. They never make you feel silly or dumb for asking questions, and that's the sign of genuine community.

    I love this little place I would rather choose it over tracks and wax just a couple laps East or just around the corner. My first Vinyl coming out of here about 2 months ago was Pete Rock and CL smooth Mecca and the soul brother

    Trying to support local record stores during these times and had a great time browsing Stinkweeds! The shop is small but packed with all kinds of records, CDs, cassettes, and even a few books. They have a nice stock of 7"s. Two staff members were there to help but gave you your space and were friendly. During COVID you have two options to shop: curbside pick up or booking a private appointment. For a $10 deposit (that comes off your total) you get 45 mins for you and up to two others to browse during a set time. It was awesome! Not only do you have the shop to yourself but you are staying safe. Masks are required, social distancing is enforced, and hand sanitizer is provided. It was nice to feel a little normal browsing again. I'd definitely recommend checking them out and will return, COVID or not. Thanks Stinkweeds!

    Local independent record store worth a visit. Recently renovated. Nice new refresh. Did like the old patio but oh well Decent selection of vinyl as well as some cds and even cassettes. Im very particular and have been to the best record stores in the world but if I look I can find something of interest. Dont expect too much. But hell its my local record store and I will definitely support their effort. I would recommend this shop to everyone. Probably my fave for the Phoenix area but hey its Phoenix so. Support your local record store

    The best record store I have been to in such a long time! I wish I lived close so I could frequent this place, but we were just driving through on a road trip when we stumbled on Stinkweeds. They have such a wide selection of great music and it was hard to walk out of there without buying the whole place! Although the store is small, it is packed with essentials. Great digs and decent prices! We might have to make a special trip to Phoenix just to visit this record store again. We especially loved the boxes of free vinyls on the way out and grabbed a few. Highly recommend this record store if you're in the area! I'm sure they will have something you're looking for or something you didn't know you needed.

    I really love swinging in here anytime I'm in Phoenix. The workers are always incredibly helpful and friendly, and I like that they have a little of everything. Definitely caters to the alt/indie rock scene which is my jam, so I appreciate it. I like that they also have cool merch to buy, as well as record players and accessories. I wasn't able to find the artist I wanted there but the selection seems to rotate pretty quickly. Cool spot!

    One of the greatest record stores in the country, if not the world. Hands down, top 5, no lie.

A really great selection of all kinds of books, music, video games, and more! Everything here is community-based, with the exception of selections here and there that are brand-new. So a nice way to support buying secondhand items from Phoenix folks, being more sustainable and supporting a smaller business, and overall just a good spot to come explore! I've found lots of cool vintage magazines, vintage video games, some vinyls, and a number of books here on 19th. I definitely recommend this location!

    How haven't a written a review of this place!…read more I love an establishment that presents itself as a home for the community. I walk in to Bookman's and often find displays that are Arizona focused in a way that makes you feel and know this place is home town friendly. No big box impersonal feels here! I frequent this store and stop in just because I'm passing by. As an avid reader, I read about 50 books a year, Bookman's is a great place to buy paper books at a cheaper price. My favorite part about local shops like Bookman's is how they don't shy away from displaying banned books all year long! I have to read at least one banned books a month! There's gotta be something in the banned books they don't want us to know and I'm determined to read as many as possible. Interestingly enough, this store is full of "entertainment treasures" too. Music, musical instruments and even gaming equipment can be purchased here. The only thing missing is a social lounge with a coffee bar. We'd probably go even more often if there were a coffee bar inside. Return Factor: 100%

    The In Groove -- A Place That Respects the Music…read more There are record stores, and then there are places that understand what this hobby is really about. The In Groove is the latter. From the moment you walk in, there's a sense of order and intention. The space is clean, organized, and easy to navigate--something that might seem simple on the surface, but in reality reflects a deeper respect for both the music and the people searching for it. You're not digging through chaos. You're exploring a collection that feels cared for. As you move through the bins, that feeling continues. The records aren't just stocked--they're curated. There's a quiet confidence in knowing that what you're flipping through has been chosen, not just accumulated. For someone who values condition, pressings, and the integrity of the music, that matters. It turns browsing into something more deliberate, more enjoyable, and ultimately more rewarding. Along one wall sits a collection of vintage audio gear--amplifiers, receivers, pieces of history that remind you this hobby doesn't end with the record itself. It's about the entire chain--the system, the room, the experience. Seeing those components in that setting connects everything together. Music isn't just something you own. It's something you build around. What stands out most is how easy it is to slow down here. There's no pressure, no rush--just the quiet rhythm of discovery. You find yourself taking your time, paying attention, and reconnecting with why you got into this in the first place. The In Groove isn't just a place to buy records. It's a place that respects the process of listening. And that makes all the difference

They're currently breaking sales records since June!…read more Presentation: 5/5 Cleanliness: 5/5 Efficiency: 5/5 Customer Service: 5/5 Price: N/A First B&N I've been to in years. Truly, this particular store is doing it correctly and the sales on this store are showing the proof. The only negative I'll present is the dysfunctional escalators. Neither worked. Being disabled, you're faced with the stairs in the meantime. Walking in, the visual presentation was colorful and entirely full of books, bestsellers and even an 'AZ' section which I admire for those coming in and wanting 'state' specific so that was a nice touch! The front checkout was fully-filled with numerous sales staff ready to go. The line moved quickly for checkout. I inquired about a couple of particular books and was led, instead of being told (which I think is more professional!) straight to the exact location. The store is amply filled with thousands of books, all very beautifully presented, cabinets have dedicated under lighting and a cafe and restroom upstairs across from a generous children's section. The store, minus the inoperative escalators was a beautiful store, very clean and room enough to get around with optional seating and of course a cafe! Love the build of this store, its inviting lighting and various items from Legos to small miscellaneous item such as Bible Book index tabs and ball caps. The store is very well designed and decorated. The only thing I'd offer to note, no one asked me about any Membership 'sales', in addition, I wasn't even asked if I had a B&N account or if I had ANY discounts, or senior citizens/AARP/military potential discounts; nothing. Being that this city is heavily presenced by both metrics, no communication was presented on this visit. Small thing but again, every other business promotes an 'Awards' program of some sorts but my particular visit, nothing was communicated. Nonetheless, this is a beautiful store and certainly recommend it.

I was pleasantly surprised to find this B&N and while I am sad that all the Forever 21s are now bankrupt, I'm glad there is a business in this location. This is a 2 story B&N and I was able to find all the books I was looking for and then some! I deducted one star because their escalators were not working and they only had one set of escalators you could walk up and down on. This made for some traffic. My other reason is for closing at 7pm on a Sunday. I know thats already one hour extra than the mall, but come on here, youre a bookstore, you could at least keep it open until 8pm?! I guess I am used to big city hours so that was kind of annoying. Otherwise, a really great B&N! They have an upstairs coffee shop and tons of people parked in here, reading, working, etc. Bathrooms also available, not as clean as the rest of Phoenix public bathrooms, but it wasnt gross like big city public bathrooms. Those are super yucky. I'd definitely come back here again when I need to find a book!
