What customers say

Interesting place, but man, that drink cube. This guy loves it so much. Got greeted with oddly intense directions to "put my drink on the drink cube" by this older nerdy fella. This is how the dude geets everyone, instead of a "hi, how are you.

I got some history with this place! I remember when I was a kid I first saw EB at a flea market. I bought some games and to this day I still own and occasionally play the particular ones I purchased. Years later I was in late high school and came across their city location.

What a great shop! One of the key spots that gives Portland its character. The management is extremely cool and brings all the best stuff into the place. Vinyl, sounds systems, old video games, hip decorations and shirts, and much more on offer.

★★★★★ — Jocelyn, 2019-03

Where Nostalgia Rules. Crammed into this 'Curiousity Shop', you'll find a variety of vintage collectibles, including vinyl records, cassettes, retro video games and game consoles, one-of-a-kind tee shirts, posters, toys, buttons, badges, and more. The owner and employees are knowledgeable and friendly.
