    Super fun bar, the front part has records for sale. They have a bunch of gluten free ciders but I tried a rice beer from Korea that was like a sparkling Sake. Very nice

    Vinyl tap is so underrated!! Just come and get yourself a pint- you'll see. Vinyl tap is a very unique blend of a vinyl shop and a bar (mostly beer), who coulda guessed. Vinyl tap is a great location. Lots of places you can walk to near by if you wanted to make a night out of it. Everyone is always so nice and helpful. I always make a point to ask the bar tender what beer I should get based on whats on tap here. There was one time I got dream burger and wasn't really feeling a beer. I ended up sitting at the bar anyways and they were still so nice even though I had stated I wasn't going to be ordering anything at the bar. I appreciated that!

    This is a record store with a bar and food option too. I only went for a look around but they have many options. The staff is friendly and they know all the music. Definitely a cool hipster spot.

    The perfect spot to grab a draft beer and listen to some new music! The staff is always super friendly and helpful, they have a great selection of new and old, and it's a great balance of vinyl shop and bar. I haven't had a beer I didn't like here. This is always a great spot to sit back and relax!

    Tons of records and even more local brews to choose. Vinyl Tap is one of my favorite East side gems. You get to drink while you shop, what's better than that? Tons of events too, so check their event calendar and Instagram to see the latest happening. Vinyl bingo is a new favorite of mine. I've found countless of rare records here and I'm sure there's even more to discover! Stop in! If you've lived here and never been, what are you doing?

    Vinyl Tap serves as a great community space for music lovers and beer drinkers alike. You can often find live music or listening parties happening here, and you can browse their selection of vinyl records while you enjoy the music. They have a great selection of local artist records as well as local brews, you can tell they are well in tune with the Nashville community, which is why the community loves this spot! The Dreamburger truck outside serves up the best smash burgers in town on weekends, you can bring your burger into vinyl tap. Remember to enjoy happy hour at the bar on weeknights!

    This is such a fun and unique concept for a bar! Can't think of what goes together better than beer and music! The beer selection is fantastic! We were hopping around, so I only had one, but I could have easily had more. There's even food! The music selection is impressive. If you're a music lover, this is the place for you! The vibe is laid back. The staff are super friendly. If I lived in Nashville, I'd be a regular!

    This is a great place to have a beer and look through vinyl or do one of the other. The person the record side was very friendly. I'm sure like most shop's the vinyl changes. The bar side bartender was friendly as well with a great beer selection.

    Very cool vibe! Record store mixed with a bar and DJ playing vinyl. Perfect start to my first Friday night visiting Nashville. Seems like the local hang too as I chatted with a couple who lived nearby. They gave me some great options for dining over the weekend. The vibe was so chill. They do have a few food options to snack on also. My drink was very well mixed by one of the bartenders and he was sure to add a cherry (luxardo not maraschino) IYKYK. I found some good vinyl picks to bring home so all in all this was an awesome place for me!

    We stopped in here for a quick bite to eat/drink while waiting on our Air BnB to become available for check in. Actually, that's kind of bullshit. We stopped here because I saw the building and it's obvious badassery and music tie in plus it's a bar?!? Omg. I screamed in excitement (and then in protestation as we were passing it) and nearly caused my fiancé to wreck my poor little Honda. I absolutely loved everything about this place. The noms, the drinks, the beer, the atmosphere, the people, the music choice. *shivers with delight* If I lived in Nashville this would be one of my regular haunts. I'm always up for a stiff drink, good food, great conversation with a bartender (and his beautiful wife), and for scanning through the latest vinyl records they've acquired. Hard swipe right on this place. Hell yeah.

    First off this is a cool neighborhood spot to checkout; a bar, records and large screen tv all in one ! I didn't have a whole lot of time and only poked my head in for about 15 minutes as I was grabbing food across the street at Cafe Roze. Was able to quickly checkout the vinyl landscape which was comprised of 90-95% new/used rock/pop based music with small sprinkling of jazz and other genres. Could definitely come here to hang and grab a few drinks with friends

    I've been due for a return visit and updated review for some time considering I first reviewed this place 6 years ago! Very glad they survived the COVID years and are still here. I stopped in this week because I saw they were hosting a meet and greet + record signing by The Watson Twins! Well worth a visit and it was great to pick up their new record, get it signed and have the chance to speak with them. That experience alone prompted my upgrade to 5 stars, cool that they host events like this. But the upgrade is also due to just an appreciation of the whole vibe this place has going for them. The bartenders and staff are super friendly and the craft beer offerings are on point. There are also some solid cocktail choices. Not to mention records! In addition to my signed TWT album I picked up a few new and used records from my wish list, including a signed Lilly Hiatt album and a used Leonard Cohen I've wanted for some time. My old review docked them for price--and, to be honest, records here are still on the higher end of things. I'd say prices for used and new LPs seem to run 5-10% higher than at other record stores in town. But I enjoyed myself too much to hold that against them now, and to be fair they have titles I haven't seen elsewhere. After a couple of beers I was totally fine with paying a bit more to support such a cool business and to ensure other future events like this one. The DJ was playing great music the whole time, too! I'll definitely be back.

The staff and owners radiate friendliness, acceptance, and hospitality to all whom walk through the door. The shop is located on a side street in East Nashville, in what looks to be an old house. Therefore, parking is limited at times. I have come here 2-3 before, and they have a great selection of wide-stream music and local artists as well. The inside is filled with records and CD's filling shelves, bins, walls, and even the mantle of a fireplace. They also have a small stage and area to host events and live music inside. This year, We came here for Record Store Day 2024, and it was such a great event. We decided to come by around lunch time. They had vendors, food trucks, and live music set up around the shop. They were limiting the amount of people in the room with the RSD Titles; therefore, we waited in line for an hour to get into the store. That being said, this allowed for everyone to look through the bins leisurely. The staff and even the other customers were all so friendly! It was such a great experience, and we made so many memories this RSD! Support your local record store, and visit The Groove.

    If you love this place, then you totally understand the hype to it however, if you're like me and…read moreyou were introduced to this from another person who absolutely adores it, but you don't care for places like this you find it confusing. So this is a massive bookstore, music store, video store, toy store that specializes in buying used items and reselling them. So if you have an aversion to musty dirty used items, this is not your place. Which I happen to have. However, this is not McKay's fault. It is a great place to offload things you don't need and get a little cash on the side. I have a touch of sensory bias, which is why it's difficult for me to enjoy it. But I totally understand why others do. If you are planning on selling stuff, make sure you get there early. If not, when they open there will be a line not of people wanting to sell stuff just people wanting to get in there to check out anything new that came in the night before. It is always busy so do not expect to come and it not be packed. If that is an issue for you probably not your place. But a big plus is the parking lot is absolutely massive. You will find a parking spot regardless of how busy it is. And to that I give it five stars.
