The Best Record Stores in St. Louis

Vinyl Record Spots You Shouldn’t Miss

St. Louis has a deep crate-digging culture—from the historic Soulard and Benton Park neighborhoods to the Delmar Loop’s music landmarks and Cherokee Street’s digger haunts!

A lot of our employees are from STL and with our factory right down the road, we’ve been digging St. Louis vinyl record crates for decades now! You can even find authentic Bluescentric band shirts and merchandise in some of these esteemed stores! So we wrote a handy guide to our favorite record stores in Saint Louis.

Use this guide to plan a single-day loop, or pick one area at a time.
