My nephew and Great nephew have been getting back into records. My husband and I are locals and…read morehave known and shopped here for quite a while. Always a great selections. They have all the best vinyl and CD's. We have shopped prices and value. I remember when we were teens and standing in front of the records and just thumbing through. This place brings back the classic great memories. They have everything you need and want in music. You have got to check them out. I love the listening station and my favorite are the cool posters on the wall. Just to tell you they have new music and old music too. If you like music at all you will be in heaven at Birdland Records

Really love this record shop.

The store has thousands of records in every genre of music you can imagine. I could have literally spent hours going through each bin of records. I loved how they have older, classic albums but also, newly released albums as well. The prices vary depending on the album. After shuffling through the bins, I purchased two albums and both sounded great on my record player! The staff were really nice and I will definitely be returning to add to my collection!!!

If you call or walk in asking for Billie Eilish or Metallica, he's going to suggest you go to Walmart or Amazon. This is NOT to be mean, this is about saving you time. If he knows that his store is not going to have what you are looking for, why waste your time? I've been going for several years and he's always been so nice and helpful. The selection is incredible if you like underground and hard to find vinyls. The value is reasonable as well, considering the rarity of some of the things you will find in here. If you are an underground music fan and looking for those types of records, this IS THE SPOT!

Also grabbed E.T. on the atari 2600 for 8 bucks (for the collection of course). Found Link's Crossbow Training for 7 dollars and that's better than any other price I've seen. Snagged two Wii games one was 3 dollars the other was 4 dollars. If you're a plush person there was a wall of plushes including Mario, Zelda, Animal Crossing, Sonic, etc. If you look past all the anime dolls it will be an amazing experience. Also Gex.

2nd & Charles in Hampton is one of my favorite "happy accidents" in the area. If you love books,…read moregames, records, or just browsing something that feels genuinely fun instead of generic, this place delivers every time. It's one of those shops where you can wander for way longer than you planned and still feel like you got something out of the trip. The selection is solid and eclectic. They've got new and used books across genres, a great vinyl section that actually changes often enough to make repeat visits worth it, and a lot of tabletop games and collectibles that aren't shoved into a corner. Everything is easy to flip through, and it doesn't feel like sensory overload. Staff are friendly and actually seem to know (or want to help you find) what you're looking for, which is something I don't take for granted. No blank stares or "I guess?" answers when I ask about a genre or game system. What I love most is that it doesn't feel like a chain store experience. It feels local, personal, and like a place that rewards curiosity. Whether I'm picking up a book I've had my eye on, discovering an album I forgot I wanted, or grabbing something neat for someone else, I always leave feeling like it was time well spent. If you're the kind of person who likes real browsing not the "hit checkout immediately" vibe this store is absolutely worth a stop. I'll definitely be back. My kid could stay there all day and be happy but I would be broke so we keep it to a time limit. Be careful!

The last girl thought she was making it less obvious by pretending to stock books but it was indeed VERY obvious. We do not steal nor ever act in any way suspicious so there's no reason for it.

I was ready for a new book to read after finishing the latest title by my favorite author on my…read morelunch break. With a couple of Barnes & Noble gift cards in my wallet, I couldn't wait to pay a visit to the Greenbrier store after work. I really enjoy the peace I find while perusing the amazing book selection and variety of fun gifts at this bookstore. It's quiet, clean, and well organized. It's a happy place. After 2 leisurely hours, I found a new author, and I'm anxious to start her first book. Another reason I was anxious for 'my time' to shop for a new book at B&N is their 'Hot Coffee, Hot Book, Cafe Special Offer' deal! With the purchase of any cafe item, you can purchase a featured book for $5. This offer has limited quantities, and the book cover is so pretty and pink! It's titled 'The Vanishing Cherry Blossom Bookshop' by Takuya Asakura. The friendly cafe server said that the $5 cafe book offer for this book title ends soon, but another book will be coming. She believed their location has the offer every 2 months, but other locations might be every month. No worry, I'm hooked and I'll keep an eye out! So, I see another great cafe deal on select bakery items, BOGO 50% off. I chose a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Cookie and an Oatmeal Raisin Cookie to go. After my new book purchase and cafe purchases, my first text to my adult children was a reminder that Mother's Day is coming up and that I'd love gift cards to Barnes & Noble! I received a reply with a thumbs up!
