Rare Bird Records

Best record store in Bismarck/Mandan. The owner and his staff are excellent, can't recommend enough!

What a great place to buy records, along with some vintage cds and cassettes. The owner is awesome and will order what he doesn't have. A must stop!!

This is a gem of a small record store doing all the right things in an area where you might not expect to find much. These young audiophiles are changing that with a very nice and tidy collection that is most certainly worth the stop. I was fortunate enough to see them spin some of that collection on Record Store Day at Dialectic Brewing, another place worth the stop if you're in or swinging through these parts! Go visit, and keep local, creative, and interesting businesses Iike this open!

Rare Bird Records is an absolute gem for music lovers. Whether you’re searching for the latest new releases or hunting for hidden gems in their ever-rotating selection of used vinyl, this shop has something for everyone. The variety is impressive, and you can always count on finding a great mix of genres and artists. One of the standout aspects of Rare Bird Records is its fair pricing. This place keeps things reasonable, making it easy to build your collection without breaking the bank. The store itself is also a pleasure to browse—clean, well-organized, and always well-stocked. The hours are super convenient, especially for those with a 9-to-5 schedule, because they're open 5-to-9, meaning you don’t have to rush to get your vinyl fix. And if you ever need recommendations or just want to talk music, the owner is an incredible resource. His knowledge runs deep, and his passion for music is undeniable—it truly adds to the welcoming, music-loving atmosphere of the store. Whether you're a seasoned collector or just getting into vinyl, Rare Bird Records is the kind of shop that keeps you coming back. Highly recommended!

Absolutely amazing record store! The selection is good and the prices are extremely reasonable. I was looking for Jar of Flies by Alice In Chains, and the owner ordered it for me and it came within 4 days! 10/10 recommend!
