Central Records in downtown Phoenix is a hidden gem that we’re thrilled to have discovered while wandering around late at night.

Stopped in for the first time last night since we were in the area. Cool little place, with friendly service and good music at a pleasant volume (loud enough to appreciate while still allowing us to carry on a normal conversation). Dim mood lighting but...Read More

I stumbled upon this place by accident on my way back to my hotel the other night. I didn't eat or drink anything, but I got some great vinyl. I think it's a great concept having records for sale in a cool place to hang. They also have...Read More

Plenty of paid and free street parking available, card-only. This is easily one of the dopest spots in downtown Phoenix, boasting the ability to quench your thirst, satisfy your stomach, and tickle your ear drums...all at the same time. You can nab one of their...Read More

Always good conversation with people. The food is good. It's kinda confusing, though, cause, sometimes it turns into like a coffee shop only, so you gotta check the dates that it's actually a bar serving food.

This place has a very cool vibe. The DJs were incredible. I didn’t get any food but the place has a good, but limited beer election and a really good wine selection. Really affordable as well.

Recommend the Palermo cocktail and hitting it up on a night where the DJs are playing, fun as hell. The records to purchase are elite, for serious DJs of old school rarities.
