Back to the Media

Today I visited with my five kids and our friends who have six kids. We were overwhelmingly welcomed and given admission to the arcade. We were so impressed with the types and quality of the games. It’s such a great space. There’s a range of prices and something for everyone there. They have cutest little mystery pokeballs for $1 each. So grateful we dropped in and we definitely will be back.

Absolutely love this place! Back to the Media is everything a local record store should be and then some. The moment you walk in, you can tell it’s run by people who genuinely care about music, movies, and physical media, not just selling stuff. The selection is awesome, the used records are clean and well curated, the prices are fair, and there’s always something new to discover. What really sets Back to the Media apart is the vibe. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and actually talks to you. You can tell they love what they do. Their Saturday night Facebook Live show is a blast! Part record sale, part auction, and pure goofiness. Tons of laughs, great deals, and an atmosphere that makes it impossible not to stick around and have fun tuning in. Support local, dig through crates, and walk out with something awesome. Back to the Media is a gem, and I’ll be coming back again and again.

Friendly staff, great selection, fair prizes. Lovely store

I don’t usually write reviews, but I felt like I had to after our experience at Back to the Media Record Store and Arcade. The arcade was incredibly affordable, which made it such a great option for our big family to actually relax and have fun together. Highly recommend. I especially want to mention Avery, who was absolutely wonderful with my son who has special needs. Her patience, kindness, and understanding truly stood out and made us feel so welcomed. This place is something special, and we’ll definitely be back.

Attention my fellow, greasy-fingered pinball nerds! ​Downtown Winchester at Back to the Media has basically declared an adult pinball nerd field trip: $10 for play all day! ​Forget your choress; you need to focus on beating your high score on Pac-Man, mastering the hops of Q*bert, and not tilting that sweet, sweet pinball. See you there, probably smelling like quarters and stale Mountain Dew. ​#10WellSpent #ArcadeLife #NoTiltShaming #Retro #pinball
