★★★★★ — Moonlight, Jul 2025

Shady dog records is my favorite go to record store. The owner and guys that run the store are very knowledgeable and fun to talk with. Love coming to a place that feel like a gathering of musical guru's loving music as much as I do!!

★★★★★ — Leigha, Feb 2024

These are good people. Excellent selection of rock and jazz amongst other things (I like what I like okay??) Mike & Dave are both friendly and helpful, willing to talk shop, and even make the occasional recommendation! Not in a pushy way though. The prices range from fair to an absolute steal.
