Pinwheel Records

They have a whole section dedicated to Huey Lewis’ Sports & a FREE Pacman machine! Need I say more? Awesome décor with fun artwork. Very welcoming & super nice owners. Fantastic selection of records & turntables. They do in-​store performances by bands & comedy nights. The owners also recommended a restaurant that had the best steak taco I’ve ever eaten! This is a MUST HIT spot!

Ever visit a truly indie, truly hip, small scale but really-knows-its-sh!t record (as in, vinyl) store that wasn’t loaded down with attitude? Like, «we are so much hipper than you, don’t even try to engage us in a chat» kind of BS? Yeah, me neither. Until Pinwheel.
If you prefer good proprietors along with your good vibes and tunes, visit Pinwheel. Scott and Kim will actually talk WITH you, instead of at you, or around you. The selection may not be the largest ever (yet — they’re new still). But it has been carefully and thoughtfully curated. I have no doubt this trajectory will continue.
Best part is that they just don’t take themselves too seriously. And they make pretty good recommendations for Pilsen area restaurants, too. (Bonus!)
Support local artisans and store owners, folks. Visit Pinwheel!

TL;DR: Friendly and unpretentious! Caters to patron requests! Awesome space! Selection of LPs is solid!
I am so happy Pinwheel opened near my home! Pinwheel is a small, but don’t let that fool you. They have a solid collection of LPs across genres. Scott has been so helpful letting me know when they expect to get different releases and obtaining different records they may not have had on hand. It’s not often you get such great owners who take that kind of time and care with patrons. It’s something that is super appreciated! Kim is such a friendly warm spirit and I’m always glad to see her in the shop. She makes shopping a fun experience. These two create a welcoming unpretentious environment. No judgement about what kinds of music you like or what you may be listening to at the moment. Just two folks interested in bringing you your musical joy regardless of what it is you’re interested.
The set up of the space is nice and open. They have a nice listening area, free pacman and some pretty comfy looking couches. If you’re in Pilsen, it’s should be on your list of places to stop by.

Decent record store. Nice listening /​lounge area in the back. Very pleasant staff. Good atmosphere. Decent prices. Selection was a bit thin.

This place rocks. Literally. Every record imaginable under the sun. FREE Pac Man and cheap gum ball machines! And best of all, absolutely zilch attitude. (You know, that super-​annoying-​and-​affected/​pretentious-​record-​store-​staff-​shite. Puh-​leez.) Kim and Scott are adorable, friendly, super helpful and knowledgable, and because it’s in Pilsen, they actually cater to their clients instead of following the usual corporate protocol. I love this place. Can ya tell? GO THERE.

If I could give more than five stars, I would. I have found my new favorite record store. While it isn’t in my ‘hood, my visit today has inspired me to be a loyal and frequent customer.
Their collection is solid — a small but very well rounded mix of the genres with new, used, reissues and repressings. I appreciated the fact that their collection wasn’t full of over-​priced fillers (Best of Bread, I am looking at you). To top it off, they go above marking records simply ‘used’. If there is an issue that affects the play, even in the slightest, you are aware of it without even having to look at the vinyl.
The owner, whose name I wish I could remember because he is a person worth remembering, was stellar. This fella is a customer service rock star. He gave me a shipping box so my record sleeves wouldnt bent when I placed them in my slightly too small bag.
TL;DR — Go here, support this new business and while you are at it, get a game of pacman in because why not.
