27 Vinyl Record Stores in Montreal

It’s more of a record store than a cafe in my opinion. However, my friends and I were fortunate enough to grab a couple tables after we were done shopping and we enjoyed some quality coffee. There is a good food selection connected next door too. We didn’t try them, but it looked good. The vibe was super laid back and felt like community more than blind consumerism. There was a little guy there, dressed mad fly. He was just vibing and being a kid. I loved to see it. It’s dope to see kids in safe spaces surrounded by good vibes and culture. Their parents were just hanging out at another table talking about whatever they were talking about. The barista/clerk was super chill. The type of guy I’d definitely hang out with. The whole vibe was super wholesome. I loved it. Especially when you compare it to other elitist vinyl shops with rude clerks. And dude, the gems were crazy. From the vinyl to the tapes. My guys walked out with some rare quality gems. Much respect to whoever is curating the selection. My friends were super happy with their finds. Easy 5 stars. One of the highlights of our short weekend. Whoever reads this, we appreciate your contribution to the culture.

We just saw a cafe and stopped to grab something. There were limited tables. The place has a great potential to receive a lot of people from the hood! I would have removed some of the old CD, DVDs to make room for the coffee place. Unfortunately, I didn’t take photos of food. We got the superbrunch. The portion was rich. They served real maple syrup in the can, the chef was very cool and the taste of food was very yummy.

Great place to stop that is like the jack of all trades! Restaurant menu with great burgers, coffee, beer, decor to gaze at, and a unique selection of vinyl to flip through. Really artistic place, highly recommend!

You will be shocked by how tasty their food is and their amazing taste of music! I am a picky foodie, normally I won't visit place that I have tried before unless it is really good. 180g's chicken burger grabs my heart and it makes me want to visit again and again and again! Don't even mention their regular music events held at evenings (there might be some during the day, Idk). Super chill and great vibe. Love hanging out with friends at this spot.

Lovely spot definitely recommend for a little date or get together. Staff is super sweat and vibes are high ☀️

I would put 0, didnt honor a sale, I could have gotten my vynil disc fron another shop, but I though I had the secure with them, never buy from them.

Good selection , helpful staff but if you want to order an item the delay may be long so plan ahead.

I love the wide variety of guitars and metal albums at this place! Its not commun to find good heavy metal albums in montreal, so this is a great place!

I visited for the music/instruments section - the instruments are reasonably priced and there's a fair amount of variety, however the accessories are well overpriced. The service is good - the employees are usually very knowledgeable.

Very nice causy place up north laurentides

First of all, I did find what I was looking for, so I'm happy. Good alternative music collection. Great and attentive service; they also helped me pack my record into a box to keep it safe while travelling.

Smallish shop but still fantastic selection! Owner is very kind and helped to make my experience 5 stars. Cool space and lots of limited editions especially great selection of electronic! Can't recommend enough

Went for the new Boards Of Canada listening party. Nicely organized, very friendly staff. Very small store but quaint and with decent alternative niche albums.

Excellent catalog and an amazing service.

Called in just for a look, and after chatting with the staff and them playing me some local djs I was convinced. I left happily with a new record and a smile. I would definitely recommend it.

AMAZING place for new & used LPs, as well as audio equipment. Rows upon rows of records to lose yourself in, in all categories of music. You can even bring albums to sell or trade. With the recent revived interest in LPs, it's great to know that there are some local stores in Montreal.

Knowledgeable staff, if you ask about an artist, they know who you’re talking about. They sell both new and used vinyl. The staff is nice, and at the back of the store there’s a small room where you can try a vinyl if you’re not familiar with the artist. They carry everything from pop, hip-hop, classics, jazz, and international music. However, they don’t have Andrea Bocelli or the The Lord of the Rings soundtrack.

Amazing store with a great selection of records. I like how everything is organized by sections. it makes it super easy to just go in and explore. The staff was really friendly too, which made the experience even better. Definitely a spot I’d stop by again whenever I’m in Montreal.”

This place has a massive selection of new and used vinyl and their prices are fair (for the most part). The staff was friendly, welcoming, and helpful except for one person (Sacha) who tried to sell me the wrong record after I asked what they were playing over the house sound system. Leaning into the arrogant pretentious record store hipster vibe is not a great look..

Really awesome store with a decent punk section compared to other similar stores. Didn't know this place was so close to me, I'll definitely be back. When I came in though, they were playing The Beatles, which was a pretty chill vibe. They then switched to what I think was hyperpop?... and played that for quiiiiiite a while. Sometimes when I thought it was finally over, it would come back on. I know at stores like these the employees get to play what they like which is awesome, but maybe switch it up with the genres a little bit more 😅

good selection, fun staff. they have allegedly a beatles “butcher cover” and while I was there someone came to validate a fake one lol

This is my favorite place in Montréal to spend a good time looking for my favorite records and finding amazing musical surprises. On top of that, the staff is very friendly and makes you feel home. Highly recommended!!!

EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! Not only was I assisted with finding a specific vinyl I was looking for, he went out of his way to package my vinyl properly in a box! VERY GRATEFUL TO YOU SIR 🫡🫡

Decent selection but the staff / owners were just a bit obnoxious. Made me feel like I was a nuisance visiting the store. Guys. Just try and be a little friendlier and your store will be a whole lot better.

Great site and store. Quick and friendly staff, honest about pricing, and more importantly, local. Consider visiting abd check out thier selection. From punk, classic, jazz to country, even vds to vinyl, and boxsets. There is a lot yp choose from. A tip: first look around the walls. There's tons of selected pics by staff and reccomendations. Very helpful, with some nice rate finds. Highly reccomendations.

Great spot - exactly what I want in a local record store! Staff was friendly and helpful recommending me other stuff related to what I had picked out. Was easy to join in on the chats about Angine De Poitrine's blockbuster show a few days before!

Great store with an awesome selection of pop, rock, and jazz vinyls, plus cassettes. They also have a fantastic section for used books at very low prices. Definitely a must-visit spot!

One of my favourite places for finding used and sometimes new CDs! This store really lives up to the “thrill” of collecting and is how I got started with my collection. The selection can be a hit or miss depending on the day but when it hits, it really hits. The staff are always really chill and super easy to talk to. Some of my memorable finds include TPAB, Bon Iver, and most recently a stack of NIN/Trent+Atticus OSTs that they happened to put in stock as I was about to leave, truly an unforgettable moment.

Been going there since the seventies (Bishop). Very happy to know that I can walk in and discover or reacquaint myself with old favourites. Last year I got a fair price on cd’s I wanted to unload. Of course I bought some albums with the cash!

A very well organized store. The variety is good. There’s a listening station as well. They sell new and used. The staff is very nice. It’s on the second floor, so look up. They also sell books, DVD and blue ray. You can get lost and get amazed. You can really travel back in time. Which ever time you enjoyed in your past.

went trying to find a Pink Floyd cassette and wasn't able to leave with only one, but multiple, from diferent genres and artists. amazed by the amazing collection they got and the fact that they sound 9,8 out of 10. well preserved 📦

We've been to many used CD shops, and this one has the best selection and prices. Super fun!

J..C is the best !!! A great music store ! Salut Danny , " Rosemount - Man" , " Iron Man " ....." I know it's only Rock and Roll ......but I like it " 🤘🤘🤘

Big archive. Nostalgic and analog service. Decent prices.

A great place for used CDs. When I was there, the woman working was not a music guru, but she was very friendly and helped me search for albums. Very large selection and great prices. It's about a 15 min walk from Jean talon metro. I d will definitely shop there again.

100% THE BEST RECORD SHOP FOR FRANCO MUSIC IN MTL. SPECIALIZATION IN CLASSIC AND 20th CENTURY MUSICIANS. THE SHOP OWNER IS VERY KIND AND HELPFUL AND FAIR PRICES AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND COMING HERE!!! MERCI MERCI MERCI ! COME HERE YOU WONT REGRET IT !

Great spot for french language vinyls and CDs.

Small vinyl store specializing into francophone music

Relax.

Super!

I received a gift card for Freeson Rock this Christmas from friends who know my passion for music and vinyl collecting, and my visit was absolutely worth it! This small shop is packed with an impressive selection of rock and metal, covering everything from classic releases to the latest albums. The prices are excellent, and the staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. I walked out with several records, both vintage pressings and new ones, all in fantastic condition. One of my favorite finds was a pristine copy of Styx’s The Grand Illusion, complete with its original poster—a true gem from the 70s. Their used vinyl section is a treasure trove, and their competitive prices on new records make it even better. If you’re a music lover, especially into vinyl, Freeson Rock is a must-visit in Montreal. With great finds, fair prices, and a welcoming vibe, it’s the perfect spot for any collector. I’ll definitely be back!

If you're looking for prog or metal vinyl, these guys are the best in town, there's no comparison. You can also feel safe ordering online and getting your vinyl shipped, thr packaging is solid and safe, and shipping is very fast. A+++

They have a great variety of metal releases with good prices, recommended if you are visiting Montreal.

Always my go-to record store for the harder to find stuff. From psych, prog, jazz, rock to an insanely cool selection of metal, I love this place. They've also got a nice loyalty card/points system to give it back to their customers. Worth your visit.

Great store - I hate to praise Amazon however they do have a great return policy and this store does not. Twice received damaged records and left no alternative but to go all the way downtown for an exchange or refund. Not worth the time and extra cost.

This is my absolute favorite record store! It specializes in both new and used vinyl, but the real heart of the place is the used section. The shop is small and wonderfully cluttered — but that’s exactly part of its charm. It feels like a proper old-school record store, the kind that’s becoming rare these days. The owner is a kind gentleman who personally greets every customer and makes sure you know where everything is. He’s always happy to chat and clearly loves what he does. Every visit feels like a treasure hunt because the inventory changes so much — you never know what hidden gems you’re going to discover. If you appreciate real vinyl culture, friendly service, and that authentic, slightly chaotic atmosphere, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommended!

I suddenly had a flashback to being 16 y.o. and walking into Dutchy's as I walked into L'Indicatif! What a treasure this place is! Loads of new and used vinyls to be found of all sorts of music genres. This is a must for anyone who collects vinyls!!

If you collect vinyls in any capacity, this is a must. Great selection of used and new vinyls and the prices are always lower than the bigger stores

love this store, everything is affordable, going from 1$-30$ depending on what you’re looking for. I’ve got some cds for 2$-5$. The man that owns the store is really sweet and helps choosing cds carefully 💗💽

i absolutely love going there, it helped me build my collection of music and physical media, the owner knows everything and is always very helpful, and i love the vibe in the store. it’s always so lovely to go!

My favorite place music in Montreal. Is a great service. The cashier Guy a long gray hair man was nice to me. We were talking about music. I've bought a guitar cable there he gave It to me cheap. The place is excellent for rehasal. Nice amps I played with a nice 90s twin Fender amp. Great acoustic very confortable. Super recomend.

Great place to learn drums and other instruments! Well stocked, lots of rooms to rent and staff is super friendly! Keep up the awesome work guys! (:

Great place to go jam with friends. The gear they have gives you the chance to try different tones and the staff is helpful all the time. Interesting things in the boutique too.

A lot of good rooms for rent. Drum kits and PAs provided are sometimes not great but they do the job.

Great knowledgeable staff, quick turn around time. Best prices on repairs that I've had

Every time I come to Montreal I always make sure to stop by and this shop. Their collection has great variety and is very well curated! The prices are very fair. They also have a record player with headphones for you to check out the vinyls quality. On top of a wonderful vinyl collection, they also have comic books, cds and cassettes. Everyone that works there is so friendly and the owner is so cool, kind and knowledgeable! He literally knows every vinyl he has in stock. You can really tell that he loves what he does and how much he loves music. I never leave here without at least three vinyls. Okay, enough rambling from me. Go check them out and give them all of your money!!

Very cool place.

I had an amazing experience at this vinyl shop! The owner is a fantastic guy who clearly has a passion for music. The selection of vinyl records, CDs, and cassettes is extensive, catering to all music tastes. Whether you're a collector or just looking for some great music, this shop is a must-visit. I'll definitely be back for more musical treasures!

My new favourite place in Montreal. Huge selection of used records. Prices are fair as well.

Great used vinyl and cassette store. Knowledgeable and friendly staff.

Had an amazing time digging through the shop. Careful tasteful curation filled with local quirky highlights for both the casual listeners, esoteric ears and the curious dancing feet. Please bring your headphones and fully-charged phone to listen to their record snippets on their website — seamless listening experience without having to open the sealed ones. Cannot wait to come back.

Amazing record store on the heart of Mile-End. There you can find a great selection of used and new records from European Electronic music to Latin and African rhythms. New releases and independent labels with a up to date selection of what’s in vogue around the world.

The best collection of electronic music vinyl (house, techno, etc) I’ve seen outside of Brooklyn, NY

Love this shop. Loads of gems and 12"s you wont see much in other places. Owner is super friendly too. Always worth a visit in MTL. Great location too on Bernard st with cafes etc.

Honestly it was a great shop and I've recommended it to tons of folks going thru Montreal. Recently however they posted a video on their socials calling out a long time supporter of the shop and DJ, falsely accusing them of shoplifting. I had spoken with them at length about what occurred and they refuse to publicly apologize and take ownership of their misstep. Take warning when entering you could be next.

Outstanding online shopping experience from start to finish! This record store (both locations) consistently goes above and beyond. The service is exceptional, and the team’s knowledge, thoughtfulness, and genuine love of music truly sets them apart. Shipping is always incredibly fast, and the records always arrive perfectly packaged and in flawless condition. Le Noise is an invaluable record store and online resource, and I never hesitate to trust them with my business. Many thanks to the amazing people behind the scenes fulfilling orders… your hard work does not go unnoticed!

Amazing !! Thank you Pepe and Jon !

Great selection great prices great staff. Long overdue in neighborhood. Wishing you much success.

Fantastic record shop!! Selection is top tier.

Best record store on the south shore!!

The great store! Good selection of records and very friendly service.

Made an order about 8 months ago, no word, no answer no notice order is still listed as pending can't contact them at all

Small place, but with great character. The gentleman who worked there, you could tell he loved what he was doing but respected your space and your interest in searching through his collection. A lot of random old stuff you can find there. Also, metal and punk records. I loved the selection and the variety abd obscurity provided in this shop. Homey and authentic. I would def check it out if you're looking for things you won't find anywhere else. Also, inexpensive.

I recently checked out Sound Central during my first visit to Montreal. I noticed a few records that caught my eye on the discogs page so I had an idea of what kinda stuff was there There's lots of residential area around the shop so finding parking wasn't too bad. Shawn the owner was super welcoming, personable, funny, and helpful. He's been apart of the Montreal music scene for many years and has lots of cool stories. The shop is organized well and has mix of used and new vinyl. He definitely has more used selection which is just what I'm into. He also carries some cassettes and CDs. Lots of genes too poke through, but I spent more time on the punk, hardcore, and alternative bins. The inside of the shop is also cool with lots of posters, flyers, and other stuff adorning the walls and ceiling. The prices were very fair and condition of everything I was interested in was good. Shawn even hooked me up with a tape from his 90's punk band Blood Sausage. I'm so glad I stopped here and would recommend checking this shop out!

Went in with a friend for new wheels, bearings and grip tape for their board. The guy who served us was really cool, took us through everything and explained without being patronising or trying to upsell. Can recommend if you're looking for a skateshop without the macho/snobby BS.

Easily one of the best record stores in Montreal. Not huge, but the quality is clear. Both new selections, old/used have great pieces, not just throwaway stuff like most. Strong recommendations from the owner, plus, look around...you'll see many out of print boxsets. Finally, check the 45s, tons of rare ones. Highly recommended! Also, I hear there's shipping to Ottawa...

My favorite record store in Montreal. This is my go-to whenever I'm looking for an album. Not a huge selection, but what you'll find is just excellent. You won't find thousands of cheap, scratched and dirty records just to fill the crates...everything there has been selected for a reason. But the real reason I'm going there is because of the customer service: all the staff knows their stuff and always give excellent recommendations. Can't recommend enough!

Recommended. Nice staff, fair prices, and they will special order something for you if they don't have it. Thank you Jeff.

Great little shop in a great little neighbourhood. All genres represented. Fair prices. Definitely worth a 20-minute dig for any collector looking for a new gem. Not a ton of used vinyl, FYI.

Awesome independent record store. So few left. Asked for a specific album and got it on the day of the release. They have many genres. Encourage the music scene and purchase the vinyls of the artists you love!

Dope store, great selection of music. Used cds are mostly $5 each

Great prices and the owner is super cool

Top records selection, good vibes and top bloke behind the counter, very knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

good price and good selection! very nice staff

Best prices in montreal .. and a very friendly and helpful owner

Great selection of records but some Of them were overpriced. Would buy if I was searching for a special edition vinyl. Bought 2 vinyls and the Daft punk was defective. We came back to exchange without any problem but unfortunately the other one was also a bad pressing we’ll have to go back again.

Friendly service and has a lot of items such as mangas, DvDs anime/movies/shows, T-shirt, toys,candies, plushies and more!! 💗 it was really cool to look around and bring me a lots of nostalgia !! They had some movies/shows I was looking for as a DvD which is awesome!!

They sold me an overpriced turntable compared to market and it was deficient because vinyl were skipping and no ways to adjust it. I came to exchange it in time according to customer policy and they refused to respect it. I have never seen such a bad service. Will not go again and definitely not recommend. Compare prices before buying.

Honestly great cd prices the only thing is the prices of the Kpop albums they are too much there's no reason someone should pay 50$ for ONE Kpop album

I also tried to exchange a turntable that was skipping vinyl and wanted to exchange it for another brand. They wouldn’t even offer a credit. No wonder why we go to Amazon. The turntable I bought was more than 50% more expensive than on Amazon. Such a rip off!

First of all . I like having a record store...any record store that is ... let alone in the area nowadays... period. Also I want to support a local business and not order from Amazon when I can . But the guy at the cash, not sure if he is the owner or not , has zero, and I mean zero customer rapport. Its like you are bothering him every time you go in and every time I have bought things here .. Really have to get rid of him and if he is the owner then when he has to close shop because of low sales he will have only himself to blame. Walked out today for the last time . I wonder how many others out there have made the same conclusion. He gets a 1 star for customer service...I would give 2 stars because he has a half decent collection but because of the attitude doesn't even deserve that

Excellent place found a cheap old new sealed power rangers movie Highly recommended

Being a record person I'd like to say it's nice to have a record store nearby but this isn't the one. Prices are stupid expensive and the staff is either nowhere to be found or one regrets having finally found one.

Nice selection of cd and records l. They also have a good amount of movies.

Was able to scoop the limited edition Billie Eilish isolated vocals record that dropped today and I almost can’t believe it! So so happy! Received excellent service from the store employees especially a guy with dark hair who I should have asked his name but was just too excited about the vinyl! Every time I come here I leave happy and today was even more! Thanks again

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We have had such a wonderful experience with Musique Prestige! All three of my children attend classes there, and we couldn’t be happier with the quality of teaching and the positive environment. Kathy and all of the teachers are incredibly talented, patient, and dedicated. They truly care about their students and make learning music enjoyable while helping each child grow in confidence and skill. The staff is always welcoming, professional, and supportive. Over the years, we’ve seen our children develop not only musically but also personally through the encouragement and guidance they receive. We are so grateful for everything Kathy and her team do and highly recommend Musique Prestige to any family looking for excellent music education. Thank you, Kathy, and the entire team, for your passion, dedication, and the positive impact you’ve had on our children! 🎶❤️

Highly recommend this music school. Kathy the owner will make sure that your child is placed with the most suitable instructor and that makes all the difference.

I went to this music school about three years ago, and I’m only leaving this review now because at the time I was young (Secondary 3) and honestly too intimidated to speak up. This experience stayed with me, and I feel it’s worth sharing. I booked a one-time 30-minute guitar lesson because I was struggling with a specific technique. Since private lessons are expensive, I made it clear from the beginning that I wanted to use the time efficiently and focus on one goal: learning how to thumb slap while playing fingerstyle. I was placed in a room with an instructor who also teaches piano. From the very start, I explained my objective clearly. Instead of teaching the technique, he spent most of the lesson talking about unrelated topics: finger stretching, the importance of knowing scales, music theory, keys, how the song was written, and whether I wanted to “dig deeper into theory.” None of this was what I asked for, and none of it helped me solve the problem I came in with. At one point, he compared the technique to using a game controller and demonstrated it. I couldn’t execute it immediately, but my friend who was observing the lesson could. The instructor then completely shifted his attention to my friend, praising him, telling him he was talented, and encouraging him to start learning guitar instead. Meanwhile, I was the one who had paid for the lesson. By the time I tried to redirect the lesson back to my original request, half of my paid time was already gone. When I finally asked him directly to just teach me the technique, he became defensive and told me that if I wasn’t ready to understand all the theory, I “shouldn’t be playing instruments at all,” and that this was “the basics of the basics.” That response was discouraging, dismissive, and completely unprofessional, especially toward a student. By the end of the lesson, I had learned nothing other than watching him play. I left feeling that $70 for 30 minutes would have been far better spent watching YouTube tutorials, which is exactly what I ended up doing. Another uncomfortable part of this experience: I had previously left a 5-star review (not on this email) because I was short 4$, and the staff offered a small discount in exchange for a positive review. The staff member stood there watching while my friend and I wrote the review. At that point, we hadn’t learned anything useful, but felt pressured to comply. Ironically, YouTube ended up being my real teacher. I can now play properly and currently perform in a small band :) Disclaimer: This was three years ago, so things may have changed. Still, this was my experience, and it left a lasting negative impression.

If I could give a higher review I would. Kathy was an incredible piano teacher and my daughter really fell in love with the piano and her playing skills have increased greatly

My son has been taking piano lessons at Musique Prestige for the last three years and we couldn’t be happier. The location is easy to access, but more importantly the teachers are amazing. They are talented, patient, kind and truly invested in the students.

Was looking at getting back into playing after sustaining a broken hand. Was helped by Jean-Philippe. I didn't buy today, but the service -- help -- and explanations of WHAT would best suit my needs for reintegration were unmatched. 6/5 stars, definitely recommend the location, and this guy. 🤙🏻

Staff were fantastic, genuinely happy to assist and provide personalized advice. No hard selling. This is our go to store for our son's musical adventure.

Nantel is amazing. They are so welcoming and have a good selection. Their staff were helpful but gave my husband and I space to decide on an instrument. I’m very happy with the speed and ease of my purchase and delivery. I absolutely wouldn’t hesitate to return for anything. :) it’s so nice to have an approachable but great showroom in the area.

Great experience. Went in with my teenage son for an acoustic guitar. Jean-Philippe was very knowledgeable, patient and helped us make the best decision for our budget. He didn't try to upsell anything and gave us the confidence that he stands behind his products.

No question about it. Nantel Music is the best music store in Montreal. Their staff are amazing and knowledgable. Their prices are reasonable. There is plenty of parking in front of the store and the location is easy to get to. Their sales people have a great deal of patience especially dealing with an older person like me. Also, they laughed at all my jokes. What could be better?

This afternoon, I visited this record store and found that the selection of records was very rich. However, one female staff member made me feel quite uncomfortable, as she was constantly on the phone. I wanted to ask her for some assistance, but I couldn’t find an appropriate opportunity to do so. I hope the store can better manage its staff, and I look forward to seeing improvements in the future.

Super chill and knowledgeable staff here took some time to help me find a record (Montreal-based group with Cure vibes and good cover art) to bring back to Brooklyn for an out-of-my-league 2nd date. She was astonished by the thoughtfulness. Big success! Thank you 😅🥰

fantastic personalized service and great prices ! was very happy to replace my friend's cartridge and stylus

Another classic Montréal record store that has been there forever. It’s a little on the smaller side but they have a very specialized selection which appeals to fans of jazz, reggae, francophone, prog and the Constellation label. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful.

Quelle belle boîte avec une sélection extraordinaire! Awesome and well-curated selection at great prices and friendly service. Love this store. A true Montreal staple.

This place is great. There’s something for everyone to enjoy. Paul has the best vibe and his store is simply amazing. It is a small place but it holds a lot of treasures for you all to discover. He doesn’t just sell it to you, he knows and feels the music on another level. If you’re lucky enough he might show you the backstory where the selection of vinyls and other discs just doesn’t seem to end. His records are well priced as well. Some of them seem too cheap sometimes when compared to online prices and offers. From what I’ve seen most of them are between 15-30$ each and anyone that knows a bit about vinyls will tell you that they’re extremely well priced. The owner is one of the kindest souls I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. He has a positive outlook on the harsh times some are living and he spreads his ideas and positivity in a nice and supportive way

Drove over an hour based on what I was told on the phone — only to arrive to a locked door and zero response. No call back. No message. Nothing. This isn’t just unprofessional — it’s completely disrespectful of people’s time. Don’t tell someone to come “check for yourself” if you’re not even going to be there. Absolutely unacceptable. Avoid wasting your time here.

Great selection of records and nostalgic feeling. Amazing fun owner, definitely someone to strike up a conversation with. A must for those who love retro and records!

Guy was very rude. I made a joke about the price of an album and he took it so seriously to the point where he lost a customer. Store is in really bad shape too, if you feel heat in there it's probably from the friction of your shoulders rubbing on other people. But honestly I can forgive that if the owner was more polite. Really won't be going back in there because of my experience. Very fragile person

Came here looking for some new Vinyl and found out they don't even have a debit machine yet still charge tax on all the records, the store was dirty and some hip hop records were left on the floor in water from peoples shoes. The guy I spoke too was very friendly, the prices were a little over priced too. With the vinyl record industry rising again I won't be wasting my time at this dump, sorry bud but clean up your shop

Phonopolis Record Store is a fantastic destination for music lovers and vinyl collectors. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the quality and variety of the selection. The store has a great mix of records across different genres, with plenty of interesting finds for both longtime collectors and anyone looking to discover something new. The staff truly make the experience special. They are knowledgeable, approachable, and clearly passionate about music. Whether you’re searching for a specific album, looking for recommendations, or simply browsing, they are always ready to share their expertise and help you find something that fits your taste. Their enthusiasm adds to the welcoming atmosphere and makes the shop feel like a true community space. Another thing that stood out was the pricing. The selection is excellent, but the prices remain fair and reasonable compared to many other record stores. It’s clear that Phonopolis values both the music and the customers, creating an experience that feels authentic rather than purely commercial. The store has a great vibe relaxed, inspiring, and full of character. It’s the kind of place where you can easily spend an hour flipping through records and walk out with a new favorite album. For anyone who appreciates vinyl, great music, and a thoughtfully curated collection, Phonopolis is a must-visit in Montreal. Great selection, friendly service, fair prices, and genuine passion make this record store stand out.

Great vinyl finds - music for all tastes and balance of new and vintage vinyl. Friendly staff.

So I waltzed in here looking for The Who's semblance 1973 record Quadrophenia. Couldn't find it anywhere else. So yeah I waltz in here and the gentleman at the counter immediately helps me find quadrophenia. Super happy to find this record and super happy with the service here. There's nothing phoney about phonopolis. My favourite track on this record is The Real Me. Best bass ever I don't care what anybody else says. Alaric recommends 👐 🎶

Good. The staff are super helpful and informative, and the layout of the store is quite intuitive. Wide variety of vinyl plus some CD's and tapes!

Great selection and got some Ethiopian jazz records I’ve been searching for a while for.

If you like punk, oi!, rockabilly etc this place is heaven. I have never been in a record store where I literally could have gone home with everything I saw. If you're in Montreal and looking for a great sub culture music shop brings cash and a couple of bags!

Amazing place. Great people. Best spot for punk/oi! Vynils in Montreal. Period.

This is a must stop Record Shop for any Metal and or Punk record collector making their way through Montreal. Insider tip: they don’t have a website or take debit/credit so bring cash or speak to the owner who will accept e-transfers. Happy crate digging #RecordShop

Usually in Montreal once a year and this is always my first stop. Punk/Oi!/HC/Metal they got it all covered

If you're in Montreal and like Punk or Metal, you need to visit Sonik. Huge selection, great prices.

I enjoyed the hour I spent here just flipping through Sonorama's vast selection. The posters and flyers on the wall and the vintage magazines, tape cassettes, and CDs for sale give me the impression that this store has some history. The guy working the counter had some excellent music playing (e.g., Usurabi). Unfortunately, none of it was for sale. What was for sale was slightly overpriced in my opinion; however, I did manage to walk out with an unexpected find that was shockingly underpriced. Sometimes you just gotta keep looking. I highly recommend coming to Rue Bernard, as there are several record shops along this strip. Happy to support Sonorama Disques again.

Sonorama Used Vinyl on Bernard Street is a true gem for any vinyl enthusiast or casual music lover visiting Montreal. The moment you step inside, you’re greeted by rows and rows of carefully curated records spanning all genres and decades. The store has that perfect blend of nostalgia and discovery — whether you’re searching for a rare classic or just browsing for something new to spin, it feels like a musical treasure hunt. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly, eager to share recommendations or stories about the records. The vibe is relaxed and welcoming, making it easy to lose track of time flipping through vinyl after vinyl. I especially appreciated how the store maintains a cozy, authentic feel without being overwhelming or cluttered. Located right on Bernard Street, it’s easy to combine a visit here with exploring the lively neighborhood around it. For anyone looking to add a special record to their collection or simply soak up some local music culture, Sonorama Used Vinyl is a must-visit spot in Montreal.

I tried donating some of my dad’s old CDs here. The person who bought them was rude and dismissive. I had a total of 77 CDs and he only bought 5. This wouldn’t be an issue if he hadn’t told me that no one would want to to pay for the rest because they were in terrible quality. I can confirm that they were NOT terrible quality, I went to another store and they bought the rest and told me that he is known for doing this. I have been told by many people that he is rude and makes others feel bad.

Went crate digging here and found a couple of rare gems! Great place to browse new and used records.

When it comes to world music, not just rock or alternative, this space is one of the best in Montreal. Sure, vinyl can sometimes be expensive, but when it comes to the selection of Japanese music and press, Near Eastern funk and jazz, etc., the cost is a thousand times worth it, because it's the kind of stuff you can't find anywhere else.

Nicole and Richard have great energy! They have a super cool, well organized, extensive collection. Richard played the record to make sure it was in great condition. The prices were amazing! Nicole gave great service. Emailed invoice immediately. Thank you so much! Avoid the traffic on the Plateau and head to Lachine and get your Black Friday deals! My niece is going to love these records! 🎄🎄���

Ordered online to pick up and it was a seamless and easy experience. Reasonable prices and friendly staff. A bit hard to find as it is a residential area but the bell is clearly labeled for the store.

Excellent online purchase experience. Good used and new selection with fair and reasonable prices. Free shipping threshold is set at a buyer friendly limit and arrived very fast. Thank you!

Thank you for the unbelievable service! I ordered a few records in the morning and they were hand delivered a few hours later! Used record grading was perfect as well.

Very good choices of vinyls to buy and vinyls come in beautiful condition and price is very reasonable. Overall I'm really happy with the service!
