Where to find The Government Center

What customers say

I came here with my 2.5 year old daughter today. Immediately upon entering we saw a cute friendly dog standing on the front counter and the person working happily let my daughter pet the dog.

What a fun place! Love being able to grab some new music to listen to while also grabbing a drink! I can’t wait to come back and listen to some live performances and hangout at the bar. I will definitely be bringing all of my friends here and recommending to everyone I talk to!

Very cool vibe. Free wifi, excellent coffee, and a TON of cool and interesting records not to ne found at other record stores in pittsburgh.

★★★★★ — Marc, 2026-02

One of the coolest looking record stores I have been in, however it lacked much quality in the used department. The store had such a fun vibe and had color coordinated vinyl displayed which looked awesome. They also double as a live music venue and coffee shop which is unique.
