Quite possibly one of the worst experiences Ive ever had dealing with a store!! The owner, Todd, is extremely arrogant and has one of the worse attitudes of any business owner Ive ever had the displeasure of dealing with. While the staff is a little better you can definitely see how Todd rubs off on those he employs. A lot of garbage at this store but you may be lucky to find a hidden gem if you try. DO NOT waste your time dealing with Todd with any sale. He gets bent out of shape easily and will actually start fighting with you! The store was handed down to him and I remember dealing with the father years ago....definitely different experience than today. Go to Warp 9 across the street for memorabilia stuff and buy your vinyl online but I definitely recommended avoiding Todd and his failing business!!

If I could give this store zero stars I would. I have never been treated so poorly in my life. I walked around the store for ten minutes and found a Nintendo I wanted to look at. The register is located in the back of the store, so I made my way back there and waited a few minutes for customers to clear out. When it was my turn I asked to see the Nintendo. The cashier from the store on 7/25/2016 around 5pm replies, I THINK YOU GUYS SHOULD LEAVE. For ABSOLUTELY NO REASON. I have never been so insulted in my life. My friend and I are minorities, and I am not sure if this is why we were kicked out. All I can say is that we were asked to leave for no reason, and I have never felt so degraded in my life. THANKS FLIPSIDE RECORDS for making customers feel welcome.

As an oldster, Ive spent years happily wandering the aisles of record stores. Sadly, there are fewer and fewer record stores in which to wander, and the aisles at Amazon just dont offer the same experience. The owner and folks who work at Flipside dont just love listening to music, they love the whole experience - the environment, the interaction, the discovery, the shared knowledge... Flipside is what shopping for music was... and what it should be. This is a true family owned business passed from father to son, and a place we owe it to ourselves to support. And by the way, if they dont have it theyll make every effort to find it for you.

Good selection for the prices and if they dont have it theyre always willing to order it at least in my experience.As for rerelesed titles like sublime the prices are almost offensive even after record day. On a better note you can walk out of this place with some great records for almost a steal bands like Santana,ETC...the video game section will definitely satisfy your retro needs in a pinch. After your vinyl throwback shopping spree you can head right next door to noble fish and have some of the best sushi youve ever eaten. Overall Id say its worth your time to drop in.

Went in looking at comics books, got told 15 mins til closing, 1 min later we were asked to checkout and got nothing but attitude from both the guy and girl behind the counter...i said id give them $10 for $5 in books i picked out so they dont have to look each up individually on ebay (lmfao) and they proceeded to be even ruder...terrible attitudes, terrible service, NEVER RETURNING!!!

a very cool record store. Obviously the big draw is the music. A massive selection of CDs and movies, most are well priced. The other draw is the crazy old toys and action figures. if your looking to be surprised with a blast from the past, walk in and find a NES on their shelf and a starwars action figure from that has to be from the 80s. this place is pretty cool.

Flipside has a great selection of vinyl and CDs. When walking in you get a nice warm welcome and numerous staff members willing to help. The owner is friendly and always willing to play a record for you. I have also noticed they have very competitive pricing. This shop is definitely worth checking out for anyone interested in music or even vintage games.

Not only is the selection great, but I was recently in and their Dog greeted me :) One of the staff engaged me in conversation about the dogs origins. I have been suffering with clinical drepression for about 5 years and rarely get out other then work, so it was extremely nice for him to go out of his way to talk to me it made my day. thank you

Im a vinyl album collector I listen to a lot of classic rock. They seem to have what I need and its in pretty good condition and the prices are reasonable. I recently picked up two of princes albums I couldnt believe they were still there and not purchased already. Also I collect Rock memorabilia and picked up a rare find book of ACDC

Although they are mostly a music store, Flipside sells a smallish selection of classic games ranging from PS 1 and 2, n64, NES, SNES, GBx, genesis, Saturn, DC, game gear, Xbox and even 2600. Prices are pretty reasonable, although stock doesnt seem to rotate enough. Theyve had a Jaguar cd toilet for about eight years I think. - Unknown

Its hard to find records there. I asked if they had any Panic! At The Disco and they said no. I kept checking for other items and low and behold I found a Panic! At The Disco Cd. Also they do sell bongs which is marijuana related? I dont know if thats anything bad but I figured I would let anyone know.

Owner and workers here has an obnoxious negative attitude as youre greeted with glares when you first walk in. They might as well have a sign saying " Yur kind is not welcomed hur." Well never coming here again which is probably what they wanted. Walk in at your own risk. You have been warned!

This is a great record store and Ive been to many. The staff is helpful and knowledgeable. They have been there for over 30 years which means they must be doing something right. If they do not have what youre looking for they do their best to order it. Definitely worth a visit :)

Flipside is a classic, funky used CD, record, and DVD shop with an eclectic mix of other music and pop culture paraphernalia. Its a good place to browse, because you never know what youll find. The only downside is the smell of incense gives me a headache.

I stumbled across this place randomly looking for record stores, and cant believe what a gem it is! Lots of great stuff, new and old, awesome punk records, and prices pretty on-par with what youd pay online. I uncover something cool every time i go in!

I frequent the store never looking for any thing, and always walking out with something. Records, used cds and new. Great bargains, and i like all the people there! Flipside rocks!

Huge selection of entertainment, for every console new and old. Great prices on used gaming systems. Super nice staff. Could use some more interesting interior decorating.
