They have a wide selection of vinyls that highlight all genres. It is perfect for a quick date or time with friends or anyone who loves music. Jonathan helped as at the bar & he was really cool. They serve coffee, beer & seltzers. They have a stage for live music & host different events. The highlight for me was the private booths that you can sit in & listen to your record. My only suggestion would be creating booths for groups of a larger size. Maybe something accommodating for groups of 3-4? Overall, it's a cute experience. If your love language is music like me, check them out!

"Nice mocha, good vibes. It was fun to go through the records too" - my partner…read more I concur! I didn't even know that Square Cat Vinyl had a coffee shop until I went inside! They also have a small stage for live music sometimes. I love the experiences of being able to sip a drink and shop, and Square Cat allows that. I got the honey lavender latte, and it was pretty nice. It didn't taste that strongly of lavender though. My boyfriend really liked his mocha, per his opening quote. I don't have a record player, but I imagine if I were that cool I'd spend a lot more time shopping and sipping here. So if you are that cool, you should go do that!

For the past two flower purchases, I chose strains that were on sale one 30% one 55%. That was a…read morebig mistake. The quality of flower horrible, it was dry and turned into dust when you ground it for a J. After bring this up I was told. Well we have to get old product out so we discount it at a higher discount. I told them that they needed to inform the customers on this that the flower is at the end of expectation and will not be fresh. for those who were thinking they're getting a quality fresh flower. So FYI, if you want fresh flower you're back paying a premium. Other than that the store is cool and has everything a cannabis enthusiast would need.

If you are a book lover like me then Half Price Books helps you save a little cash. As they take in…read morepeople's used books you never know what you are going to find in the shop month to month. Time before last I was in and found some art magazines that are expensive new but I picked them up for $3 each, I was pretty happy with that.

If you are like me then you may be in there for several hours. I will continue to stop in to see what goodies they have.

And for vinyl they've got local artists, popular music and old vintage stuff as well! They also have a cool corner with art in the back and in the first room they have a bunch of cool art in drawers. They allow local artists to each have a drawer for their work and I just think that's SO cool!! They're queer friendly and definitely feel like a safe place! At one time had a donation box for menstrual products but someone destroyed it and I'm not sure if it's still there but they're just a great small business in Irvington that really adds so much to our community!

I popped into Karma Records after a few times driving by it. Who knew where was such a slapper of a…read morerecord store on the east side? Apparently, many people knew, because Karma has been around since 1970, and it's the oldest record store in Indianapolis. OK! I'm obviously late to the game. Usually, I visit record stores just to browse, but this time, I visited to find a specific album. But when I asked the kind people behind the counter to look up the album for me, I found out the album that I had in mind was actually out of print! So I could order it online, but it would cost like five hundred dollars or some obscene amount. The helpful people at Karma offered to order other albums by the same artist. But I didn't want that, and instead just browsed the selection of records that Karma. There are a lot of records here. Surely, if you're not dead set on a specific out-of-print record like me, you will find something here. They also have CDs. And the cool people at Karma are willing to order whatever you want (assuming it's not out of print), and it will show up at the shop a few days later. Man, you didn't ask, but this place smells like incense, I tell you what. Which is appropriate, I guess, because they sell incense here. I just mention in case you're sensitive to incense.

Updating my review of Luna Music and bumping it up from four stars to five. This is because a) Luna…read moredeserves all five stars; and b) it's been nine (!!) years since my last review. In my last review, I think I complained about being a tired mom with macaroni and cheese stains on my pants. Well, nine years later, I'm still a mom but fortunately less tired, the stains on my pants are from red wine and vegan tzatziki, and the kids I made macaroni and cheese for have grown up and are very interested in music. And they ask me to take them to Luna Music. I'm always happy to oblige. My oldest kid love Luna Music because he can find albums for the bands that he listens to. Bands and artists that are not on my radar at all (Blood Orange? Anyone, anyone? Bueller?), but he loves them, and it makes him happy to find them here in vinyl. Luna has a lot of new music on vinyl. This is the place to visit in Indianapolis if you're looking for any kind of new music. They are on top of it. In fact, I subscribe to their weekly newsletter just to keep abreast of the new music that drops every week. Luna Music keeps me young and able to relate to my children, who have astounding musical taste for their age. Luna skews toward records, but they also have a smaller selection of used CDs, as well as a collection of used cassette tapes that are smaller still. You can also find zines, local artwork, greeting cards, record players and other fun things. The people who work here are super friendly and not at all snobby. There are no Jack-Black-from-High-Fidelity people here!

Just so you know: The Brown County Antique Mall is actually three different buildings…read more The main one, which sits just off the road, is your typical antique store. It has all kinds of tchotchkes, doodads, baubles, trinkets and other old and unique miscellany. The store is separated into booths, and there are different things in each booth. I saw all kinds of things that I wanted, but I had to physically stop myself from buying some of the vintage milk glass mugs. No one needs a milk glass mug with a buffalo on it, but the heart wants what the heart wants, sometimes. If you leave the main building and walk outside, and then turn to the right, you will see the second building: Route 46 Vintage. This vintage store deserves its own review, so you can read my separate review for that. But I'll just say that this is where you'll find funky vintage clothing and accessories. Then, there's a little shed-looking building that has more antiques and fun stuff, and also handmade goods from local artisans. Basically, the Brown County Antique Mall is a little campus full of eclectic treasures. You can definitely spend an hour or so here (or more!) looking through all of the stuff and buying all the things.

So fun looking through all the booths in this antique shop. We spent a few hours looking and as we…read morewere checking out we found out there were 2 more buildings! So we are definitely going back to this shop to check out what we missed and to see what new items were added by the vendors. The building we did see was a good size and the variety abounds. I love costume jewelry and was able to find several pieces that I liked and I brought home. There were big outdoor items on the front porch when we walked up. The place is right on the highway and easy to get to with adequate parking. The prices in the booths varied greatly with some being very reasonable and some I thought were high but I think that is the same as most antique/vintage stores of this type. We had a lot of fun shopping there and when we checked out the cashier was nice and helpful and told us about a couple store policies that we asked about. I will attach a lot of pics to show the variety here.

A new record store just opened in Indy! Take Care Records has vinyl, yes. But it also sells CDs,…read moreDVDs, VHS, books, comics and cassette tapes. It also buys these things, too, if you have any physical-media treasures lying around that you wanna make a buck from. The record shop is tidy and well curated. If I had a record player, I would have picked up a couple of gems. Alas, I do not! Why do I keep visiting record stores if I don't have a record player? Some would say I'm a glutton for punishment. But I like to think that I'm slowly manifesting a record player, and also, I just like to be around physical media, sometimes. It's nice to hold a thing that produces music in your hands, or look at the liner notes of a CD. Take Care Records also sells DVDs, like I mentioned. These, too, are well curated. I saw many obscure indie films, and a few concert DVDs, and films that I haven't watched in a while but would totally add to my collection. Although the joint isn't huge, there are a lot of gems everywhere you look, so this is definitely a place to check out if you're into collecting music, movies or other media. One thing to note about Take Care is that it is only open Thursday-Sunday! It's located in the same shopping center as Some Guys, and across the street from Taylor's Bakery. Lots of parking!

As of my review its a new record store that sells new and used records, books and some old school nostalgic VHS.

Their prices are comparable to other record stores around the area.
