“Unlike many vinyl shops, they have two listening stations where you can preview albums before you buy them.”

What customers say

My husband and I have bought a few vinyls and a record player here and always try to stop by when we're in the area. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable and the owners were kind enough to let us take some wedding photos after getting married in the venue upstairs.

Holy moly. Solid. Feels like record stores used to feel, before they all became a group of kids on laptops checking Diacogs every five minutes. Matt is a solid guy. You will find more records than you have money for. You will find some new stuff you didn't know about. You will make a new friend.

Oh my goodness, what a gem. When I walked in, I knew it was legit. My man Rocky Peter was in there, and got to make some nice chit chat before I got to dive into a huge selection of Soul/R&B. I was with my girl, and she was looking at the Rock/Pop section.

I stopped by Penrose to see if they would be interested in buying my LP record collection (mostly “classic rock”) from my high school and college days. I had about 250 albums that I hadn’t played in over 30 years; so, it was time to move them on.
