Hymie's Vintage Records

My buddy and I wanted to stop at a couple record stores before we left the Minneapolis area and Hymie's was high on the list.It's a really cool record shop. The guy working their was super nice and answered all of our questions.He had a few rare records and some good new/used records in the racks.Even though I didn't buy anything, (my buddy did), it was a really good experience and I would go back again.

this record store used to be awesome. been in quite a few times lately hoping to find something, sifting through lots of bob dylan and even elvis to find an album they're asking $65 for, typical record store stuff these days, but head over to barely bros rex in st. paul and see what $65 gets you. or disco death. both places ask a lot too, but you at least don't have to sift thru doors records for 20 mins to find $40 records with scuffs. when you walk in the door, the old grumpy guy doesn't even look up from his readers digest. prolly have to buy some herb alpert to see a smile. maybe i'll try that.

One of my favorite record stores in the Twin Cities. Over the years I've found hundreds of hidden treasures there for good prices. And it's such a fun, cozy place to visit, with extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff. I haven't been since COVID hit, but I can't wait to go back and hang out.

I enjoyed browsing this store on a lazy Saturday afternoon. There was a very large selection of records but not as much in the Country section as I would hope but I still managed to come out of there with a few winners for myself. Prices are good on stuff that others may not know about so if you like various artist be sure and look for some of those less recognizable by the general public. I like that it is relaxed in there and large with lots of space. Go for brunch up the road at the Hi-Lo and then take a little tour of Hymie's.

Hymie's is definitely my favorite neighborhood (Longfellow) record shop! It looks small from the outside but this place is PACKED with vinyl gems. Soul, rock, funk, country, ska, alternative, jazz, soundtracks... Hymie's has a super diverse assortment of music. I found an Eartha Kitt compilation, Elvis Perkins' Ash Wednesday, and a dub compilation among many others. Also, they have a huge section of 45s which could take a whole day to explore. The records are also very reasonable priced. I love that Hymie's has places to sit too... nice when you're waiting for your friend to finish picking out their records. Hymie's owner is super friendly, talkative, and helpful too. Overall, I can't wait to revisit Hymie's!

They have a large selection of all types of genres. I really enjoyed the vibe here. There is a ton of new, re-released records so If you're looking for original releases I would look elsewhere.

Came in from Boston and did a google search for used record stores near me....Hymies's did not disappoint! I would say that this was the most categorized, interesting, just freakin' coolest used record (they sell new too) shop I have ever been to. The owner, David, is very personable and friendly. He also recommended a killer Indian restaurant about 12 blocks North where I had some VERY good saag and onion chutney. David- you made my night, man! Highly recommend Hymies's!

So... I went to hymies for the first time because they were recommended on Reddit as a good place to sell records... I brought in a few boxes and was told it would take the day to go through. Later they called and told me they were keeping some and others they didnt want and to come and pick up the cash and records they didn't want.... I went in to pick up what they had rejected.. I was handed the cash and told to take the crate. I even said (as should be on their cameras!) I brought my items in boxes, are they sure I should take the crate? They insisted it would be fine for me to take... well.. found these messages in my filtered "unknown senders" today... lovely business guys. Thanks for the horrific insults because of your mistake... and thanks for the lovely curse.Please don't stalk and harass me at 1am because your mad your employee made a mistake. You had no reason to make the accusations and insults you did other than your own fears and insecurities as you're up late at night thinking and obsessing over me. This is not acceptable behavior on so many levels. I can't believe I have to say this to an adult. Every action has a consequence. Had I checked my filtered messages sooner perhaps we could have avoided this childish outburst and I wouldn't have known this side of you. Perhaps you have an amazing business but unfortunately I'll now have to warn people about you. It's not a good business or life practice to make assumptions about people, especially such negative ones, because your assessment could be incredibly incorrect. You don't know who a stranger is and who they might know, better to assume the best and always treat everyone with respect. You're definitely doing a great job of being authentic to the world about who you truly are, perhaps you should spend some of your sleepless nights focusing inwards instead.

The provider has a vast knowledge of many musical genres and can help you find the grooves you need. Stop in and test his math skills yo!

The new owner (the dog guy) is very, VERY choosy about what he buys -- which is fine, it's his place -- but quite contrary to how Dave and Laura ran it. Meanwhile, there's stuff on the shelves that I know has been there since Hymie was alive. If they need space, they could put about 1/5 of their inventory in a Dumpster and it wouldn't be missed. Still a cool place, but....
