Salty Dog Records Sarasota

First time in today. Very nicely set up shop. Very organized and easy to manage. I could have spent a lot more time in there. Great selection of vinyl. Owner was very attentive and answered the few questions I had for him. We will be retuning again.

Josh, your shop for albums, games, and toys is a hidden gem! The vibe's cozy, with awesome finds that spark nostalgia and fun-perfect for anyone hunting unique stuff. Keep curating those killer collections!

This place is spectacular!!! If you want something from your childhood this is it! Toys, albums, games. Basically everything that you love from your childhood. Josh is the best, get in there and support this guy, we need more local business owners like him in this damn town.

I recently visited Salty Dog Records with my daughter, who’s just gotten into vinyl, and we both had a fantastic experience. The staff was friendly, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable — happy to help her find some great starter albums and share tips on caring for her records. The selection is impressive, with a mix of classics, rare finds, and new releases, all well-organized and easy to browse. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and makes you want to stay awhile. It’s a perfect spot for both seasoned collectors and newcomers to the vinyl world. Highly recommend!

My friends and I lined up early for Record Store Day this year and ended up being first in line:) the owner and team were so nice and made sure we were okay the whole time. We’ve been doing this for 3 years with this shop and this has got to be the best so far. They let us know how many copies they had of what we were searching for ahead of time and it was just an amazing experience. Their new location is absolutely amazing too, they have some rare and awesome titles. Thank you and I will be back soon!
