Great record store! Probably the biggest one I've seen since moving down to South Florida a few years back. Great vibe. Reminded me of a record shop that I used to frequent back in Queens, NY in the 90s. If you're into rock and metal, you'll definitely love the selection here. They had all kinds of cool albums, including some really interesting sets and Record Store Day releases that you just don't see everywhere. They also had a bunch of reggae, soul and dance LP's. Prices were a little bit higher than you could find online for most things, but there were some deals here and there. My daughter found a bunch of singles for a buck or two that we're going for more money on eBay. She was psyched. One thing that I was disappointed with was that the selection appeared to be like 95% new vinyl. I was hoping to find some used bins to look through but it was really slim pickens for diamonds in the rough. That aside, gotta love a record store like this. I will definitely be back in the near future. Five stars. read more

Where do ya go on RSD? On record store day, you go to a good record store and enjoy. Last satuday we headed out to a spot I hadn't been to before, "We Got the Beats". It's a humble location; it's in a quiet strip mall off Oakland Park blvd. Honestly, as we pulled in to the mostly empty parking lot I thought we had the wrong location. But as we entered I realized what few mall customers there were, were all in the shop. And what a nice space it was. Old school basic layout that I liked. Just boxes and boxes of vinyl to sift through. They were well organized, with punk, funk, and more all set in their areas. And the RSD specials were displayed above each of the areas they related to. It's not a huge store, but with the limited quantity it helped me find a couple things I liked. Glad to make the acquaintance of We Got the Beats, and hope to be back soon. read more

We Got the Beats - Music & DVDs Near Me - Oakland Park, Florida

I came here this past weekend for a Joe Jonas meet and greet on the day of his album release, and everything was so well-organized and professional. The owner/manager (I'm not sure of his exact role), Tony, was super nice and patient despite what I'm sure was a stressful event. I was super impressed by the organization and how smoothly everything went, when it could've very easily been chaotic with hundreds of crazed fans in attendance. Tony also did a great job of making sure that people didn't cut in line, when many did try, and took the time to talk to those of us who had been waiting in line for hours. He also answered tons of questions on social media that people had leading up to the event. I can't convey how impressed I am at how well they pulled off an event of this magnitude, and am beyond grateful for this once-in-a-lifetime experience. read more

Love this place!!! I take my teenage daughter there often, she is obsessed with music and this place is a nice way to spend time together while finding gems. Prices are very reasonable. Huge selection of cds and vinyls. Staff is very helpful as well. read more

Used Records "12 inch" were a cluttered mess.. They were stored either too high or too low for a normal person to go comfortably go through and browse... read more

This is an awesome record store. They have a wide selection of used and new records. If they don't have it, they'll order it and can ship it to your home. I highly recommend this place! read more

If you're a vinyl lover, this place is heavenly! Of all of the record stores I've been to throughout the last 10 years, this place is truly my husband and I's favorite. They've recently moved into a larger space, which seems to be a lot more organized and user friendly then the old location. My husband and I enjoy browsing through used vinyls, which are mostly $3-$5. Of course there are exceptions to those prices, and in those cases the prices are clearly marked. The used vinyls are separated by music genres, and are alphabetical (to a certain extent) with in each section. It takes a bit to get used to, but it is easy! Located in the back corner is a record player with headphones so you can ensure you're happy before you buy. The older gentleman with the gray hair that works here is quirky and nice. Last time, we had an issue with a gift card, but he worked it out and was very nice to deal with. They also sell used CDs, cassettes, etc. Vinyls are definitely the most plentiful items, but are not the only items! Side note: there is an AMAZING beer place in the same plaza, so make sure to do a double stop! read more

Are you into music? Vinyl? Then this is the place for you. It's conveniently located in a not very busy shopping area on the south side of Oakland Park Boulevard. I wasn't here to buy, however, I was here to sell some CD's. There aren't too many places that will buy them now, so I'd made a couple calls. I spoke with Marc and made an appointment to come in. As part of my downsizing and cleaning -- started during COVID -- I'd set aside a bunch that we no longer cared about. In fact, to be honest, I can't remember listening to any of our CD's in a very long time. However, we do have some sentimental attachments to a few, so those we will keep -- at least for awhile. We came in and Marc looked them over. We browsed while he was looking. The prices for new vinyl were a bit of a shock to me. I remember as a teen buying a record album for under $10. Now they run over $20++ and way up. But they do have a bunch here of used records for only $3 and if it's something you just must have in vinyl this is the way to go. Of course, you have to do a bit of digging through the boxes first. And if you're of a "certain age" just coming here will bring you a bit of nostalgia. You may remember going to your local record store just to listen to the music playing over the speakers and see what was the latest new music album you could get. Any how, we got some money for our CD's -- not much cash but we weren't being picky. We could have also gotten trade credit. We were happy. read more

I loved the collection of vinyls and DVDs unfortunately the "staff" was not welcoming. I said hello and thank you. Was ignored both times . I don't want to assume it was based off anything but I was with my girlfriend. Another customer walked in 5 minutes after me and he said welcome to him. I felt uncomfortable so I left early which saddens me because I really wanted to buy a peanuts soundtrack vinyl. read more

dope record store. tons of cool stuff. was able to find exactly what i came for! love the music they were playing as i walked in as well, be back soon! read more

Amazing customer service, the man I spoke to was very patient and kind on the phone, their prices are extremely fair and my two vinyls that were shipped were shipped with so much care, if you're ordering over the phone or in person We Got The Beats is awesome! read more

This place looks small from the outside but a lot larger than I thought, room after room of music and most for real cheap prices. Selection was great and I did not have time to look through it all yet I found a bunch of reasonable priced purchases. They do sort by first name instead of last name first so you will find Carly Simon under C not S, took a bit to get used to. Also don't park in the lot that belongs to pharmacy. Since it is a sharp quick turn off the road it is a easy mistake to make. You can park in the back if you make that mistake. read more

We Got the Beats - Music & DVDs Near Me - Oakland Park, Florida

For a record store, great selection of modern vinyl and decent/fair selection of CDs (albums). The particular draw here though for CDs are CD singles-- there is a whole section devoted to that, and you can find some really cool stuff. In the couple of times I've been there, the person(s) at the register gave basic service without really being too friendly. read more

We Got the Beats - Store parking lot - Music & DVDs Near Me - Oakland Park, Florida

Vinyl records brings me back to my childhood so walking in to We Got the Beats was almost like some fascinating stroll down memory lane. Sometimes I think the Internet is in our minds. The other day I was thinking about buying a new portable record player. The next day on Facebook an ad for this location pops up. Coincidence? I don't think so guys... Located on US1, We Got the Beats pack in thousands of vinyls, cds, and even cassettes into a neatly organized shop. I'd almost dare to say it's too organized. You've got categories like, "80's singles", "90's singles", "new arrivals", "rock, pop, & folk" "hip/hop and R&B" and more. While I'd say the shop caters towards used vinyl, you'll be able to find some new ones, or current rather, here as well running anywhere from $18-$33 just based off of my glances. The pricing is really reasonable. Most used records are $3 a piece. Used singles are $2 a piece- buy 5 and get one free. Some items are priced differently which is understandable based on its rarity. The man working couldn't be nicer. As I was shopping he asked if I wanted a water to drink while I looked around. I probably spent 30-40 minutes combing the bins, looking around for a treasure. At the end of the day this place is pretty amazing. They've got a check in offer that gives you a free vinyl ($3 value). If you're looking to beef up your vinyl collection or just in the mood for some nostalgia, We Got the Beats will definitely hook you up. read more

It doesn't get better than this. I live in San Antonio, and there aren't any decent record stores around here. And I hate having to pay an arm and a leg for shipping. Luckily, after some deep diving for a place to order my vinyl at a decent rate, I came across We Got the Beats. This will always be my first stop for new records now. I bought Weezer's new SZNZ: Spring EP on vinyl for them. Fantastic price ($21.99 just like everywhere else) but also only $3 for shipping!!! That's insane. They even shipped it so quick! I got it before anyone else I know in my Weezer fan club. They packaged the vinyl so well too. I could not have had a better experience. I will be ordering vinyls from here for years to come. read more

I bought my girlfriend a record player for Christmas and since have spent a few hundred dollars on new records that I knew she would like to start off her collection. We both spoke of vinyl shops that sell used records and hidden gems for a more affordable price. On our recent trip to New York we found a few really cool record shops and wanted to find one down here. This place was awesome! Almost to the point where it was overwhelming. They have such a variety of records and a huge collection to sort through. You need hours in this place if you truly want to see what hidden treasures are to be found. I found deep house and drum and bass from the 90's that I was shocked that any shop would have. They also offer a listen to the records before you purchase in the room next to the main entrance which is cool. The gentleman working there was very helpful. He answered any questions we had and let us search until the store closed. Unfortunately, we got there a bit late and didn't know that they closed at 7! We lost track of time while we were in there from our excitement searching through all of these pieces of art. The prices are all really fair. Better than I expected. Maybe that's just because I've been spending a fortune at Barnes and Noble for new records! Hahah They have new records as well. From classics to music that has been recently released. There is truly something for everyone here. I can't wait to go back with more time to search and pick up a few random house records to bring home! read more

New to the vinyl game. Had questions and where else would I get answers than at a record store? That wasn't the case here. What I thought were basic questions, homie had no answers. Will I go back? Probably to get stuff- not to learn anything or ask anything. read more

Very fond of this place been in Florida for like 6 months and spent a thousand bucks and got nothing but gems and rare finds! You will always find records that are worth the buy because everyone on discogs up charges! And when it comes to new vinyl tony and crew will hook it up and have what you need. My favorite record store! They don't sell al Jolson record and as a black man it makes me comfortable to shop read more

What a wonderful find this was. I am not local and I don't visit as often as I'd like (I used to live in Fort Lauderdale years ago), but I will make this a mandatory stop from now on. The store is well merchandised and well organized. As soon as you think you might have taken it all in, you discover a separate room with even more cool records. I personally loved their large used CD singles section. Thanks also to Guy for the warm welcome. I hope to be back soon! read more

this record store is e v e r y t h i n g. professional, organized, and they have an amazing selection. great mix of old and new music. very reasonable prices and great service. there were only two records that i was looking for that i didn't see but theyre hard to find anywhere. i could stay and shop for hours and still find more records that i was impressed they had. i'll be going back every week to get something new! 10/10 would recommend read more

What a cool place. A bit of everything. New/Used. The only disappointing thing (and that's why I didn't give it 5 stars) is that I wish they had a better selection of used records that were in really good condition. Many of the used ones in stock there are pretty beat up. Still, I just find the place to be very cool. read more

This place is great. They have a huge inventory often times with several copies per title. The staff is super knowledgeable as well as cool and kind. They've ordered a few things for me as well when they don't have it on hand. Guy is always great to chat with. Hands down the best place in FTL for vinyl. I'd give more than 5 stars if I could. HIGHLY recommend. read more

Great selection of used CD's lots of vinyl. I usually stop when I'm in town for business. Will need to check the other location out.

This is the new location of We Got the Beats. They are a classic old school record store (that's vinyl to you kids lol). They buy back old records if you want to trade them in and will special order items as well. I have been here a few times, most recently for record store day which happens every April. The owners are cool guys and they are always willing to help. They do a big party for RSD every year with a DJ and food/drinks. If you have a passion for music like me, especially vinyl, this is a cool store to check out. You could easily get lost for hours looking at all of the old and new vinyl that they have. This is not a cheap hobby either but well worth it in my opinion. read more

We Got The Beats is my favorite record shop in the area. They have awesome selections, and they're always incredibly friendly! They make record shopping a great experience. Not to mention, they always kill it on Record Store Day! This shop always has those hard-to-find records year round, along with the best variety on Record Store Day. They always order an awesome variety of stuff! Year round, you can find records from any genre. My brother has particularly eclectic tastes for his records, and he always finds a hard-to-find record at We Got The Beats. You won't regret stopping by! read more

They have an excellent collection of records, it's very well organized and at good prices. You can find used and new records I'll add a fair price. So far everything that I have seen it is much less than on Amazon or Anywhere online. You can ask for what you're looking for in case they do not have it and they will get it for you. read more

WGTB is my favorite music destination! A huge, eclectic collection of new and used vinyl and CD's. I'm so grateful I found this place. Also, the entire staff is incredibly friendly. I love shopping here! read more

Probably one of the best record stores in South Florida. Fairly prices and a cool listening station to try out the record and check it out. The people here have a solid appreciation for music and are helpful with questions you may have. Not to mention the collection of CD's and tapes for those that like other media formats. This store carries new releases as well as the classics but the neat niche this store has are the bizzare and weird records you can just stumble across. My favorite being 20000 leagues under the street. Its worth going to this place to get a 3 dollar mystery record from the rows and rows of crates that are full of them and trying it out at the store or checking it out at home. read more

A good place to check out if you're looking for records and other related accessories.

Cool place! I enjoyed the atmosphere and the gent behind the counter was very pleasant. The only drawback I found was that it was difficult to find what I was looking for. This is the kind of store where you really have to dig in to find a gem, which some people really enjoy. read more

On a quick weekend in Ft Lauderdale, we decided to hit up some local record stores. Almost didn't come to We Got The Beats, was going to sleep on the beach instead. But we decided against that. I am ecstatic that we did, this is a fantastic little store. Not a ton of used stock (beyond 12" singles) unless I just missed it all. Found some great Clash albums in the used new arrivals. But the new sealed vinyl is where it's at. Grouped with indie/alternative, hip hop, country, classic rock, jazz, and 90's ALTERNATIVE!!! I found so many choice new represses, I had to leave a few behind. If we ever make it back to Ft Lauderdale, we will be back. read more

Fantastic record store with a lot of used albums at great prices. Very friendly staff and very cool place. a must stop on your record hunt read more

I recently went to We Got The Beats while I was visiting friends and family in South FL. I am originally from the area and I'm happy to see record shops popping up again after so many closed in the early 2000's... THE GOOD... -this is a crate diggers paradise! -millions of 12" singles (all genres...you name it, they prob got it!) -a good amount of reissues (if that's your thing) - prices were fair/affordable -a good amount of new records and RSD stock -listening station -had used LPs mixed in with the 12" singles -some organization throughout the store -sells other media like cassettes, cds, etc. -restroom (even more records in the back near the restroom too) -easy to find parking -prices were pretty fair -guy working was very welcoming THE BAD... -a bit too much stuff I am not interested that I needed to sift through to find stuff some stuff I did want -although I will dig through singles too, would be nice to have the LPs in their own bins -listening station headshell handle is broken...made it challenging to cue and lower the needle Overall, my first visit to We Got The Beats was positive. I walked out with 1 LP and two 12" singles. I really could have gotten on the ground and did more digging, but had other plans. All in all this is a cool shop and worth a visit...be sure you've got time and patience! read more
