AFK Books & Records

This was my go to record store. The young female employee, Emily always is brusque. I would breathe a sigh of relief if the nicer staff members were at the counter. She acts this way with the owner right there. I go there for albums so I will just go to the other record stores.

This place is absolutely the best record store in Hampton Roads and has run by the greatest of people. If you go there to buy a record and you need help finding the record identifying the right record or about anything they’re happy to help without making you feel like an idiot. i.e. like some of the other stores we all know about. They have a great selection of used records. Oh, and they also sell books, CDs, and some other stuff . This place is great you should go.

Once of the absolute nicest bookstores I have come across! It had new and used books (the used books were very reasonably priced). I was happy to spot a few special editions of books too. Aside from books they also had music CDs, cassettes, vinyls, dvds, comic books and manga! Very well curated shop with something for everyone. I would say lil bit of warning to those with allergies to dogs that there is a dog in the shop. Very sweet, gentle, old dog but that’s the only warning I would give. Loved this bookstore!!!

Best hidden ish gem!! This place has so many amazing records, books, record players, old school toys for the kiddos & adults with nostalgia! Posters! The best hilarious socks & fun gifts. Even awesome cook books! We picked up one of a kind journals & other fun stuff for Christmas! Definitely will go here any chance we get to add to our collection. Far more than a record/book store.

I love, AFK! Better recognize They are super chill andthey have a dog,tell me thats not a bonus!! Huge selection of records sure to please the crowd. They host record release parties usually @ midnight💪🏼go get your favorite record and crank it up🔉🔉🎶🎶
