Where to find Beaker's Records

What customers say

Record stores have always sort of left me disappointed. Boring selections and expensive prices have me leaving every record store having found nothing interesting and spending $10 more than I should have to "support a local business.

What a gem. I was on the fence about taking a detour here as the reviews were showing a Slayer cover, and some people’s ’wide selection of genres’ can mean metal and rock, so was very pleasantly surprised and a couple hundred dollars lighter for making the detour! 🥴🤩.

Excellent little spot for used vinyl, CD and cassette tapes. The owner has a good eye and so there are lots of interesting rarities, some $1 and $3 bargains and a free bin out front. Well worth the visit!

Stumbled upon this gem of a record shop yesterday. They’ve got a ton of sweet deals in the plentiful bargain bins and Gordon, the owner, was super nice and helpful. Go check it out for yourself :)
