This is a record store / gift store / studio owned by Jack White of the White Stripes and others…read more They offer tours of the studio, but they don't let you take your phone or camera with you during the studio tour. So I don't have any photos of the studio and offices, which is a bummer because there are so many neat things to see. I definitely recommend doing the tour, though! Our tour guide was Ben Blackwell, who is an executive at Third Man, a musician, and oh, Jack White's cousin! He's a cool cat and told us lots of stories about the people who have recorded at Third Man, and the things that have gone down. If you have a chance to get Ben as your tour guide, you will be in for a treat. The tour itself was a little under an hour. The Third Man shop is where you CAN take photos, and it's a good thing because there are also lots of interesting things to see in the shop, like White Stripes paraphernalia, a record listening booth, a Wax-o-Matic machine where you can make your own red wax guitar figurine, an area to play guitars, almost every record you can imagine on the Third Man record label, Maggot Brain magazine (which is published by Third Man Records), clothing, posters and lots more. If you're a White Stripes, Raconteurs or Jack White fan, you definitely need to stop in. It's so neat to be in a studio where all kinds of musical magic happens! And even if you're not, you might become a fan just by visiting.

Didn't visit Union Street. I visited the new location on Old Lebanon Road in Donelson. We walked…read morein and were barely greeted by the unconcerned cashier. He wasn't friendly and didn't seem to care if anyone bought anything or if we had questions. Prices for some albums were ridiculously laughable (White Snake $90). I found many albums in the wrong classifications. I do realize people are lazy and like to just put merchandise wherever the decide to when they change their mind. That doesn't constitute as much as I saw out of place. Meanwhile, the checked out cashier didn't look up once from whatever social media site he was scrolling through. This place looked more like a goodwill than a record shop. Just didn't smell of old shoes. Happy I didn't buy anything. Wouldn't want the cashier to actually do any substantive work.

I loved the range of goodies from vintage pieces, to jewelry, to odd and bizarre decor. My personal favorites were the vintage t shirt section (I bought an XL UConn women's basketball shirt) and the cat section (full of shirts, socks, books, or just anything based upon cats). Overall the pricing was alright and the same with the service. I only spoke to someone when I was checking out and at that they barely said anything. I would come back because I like to independently look around, and who knows what I'd catch the second time around!

The staff and owners radiate friendliness, acceptance, and hospitality to all whom walk through the door. The shop is located on a side street in East Nashville, in what looks to be an old house. Therefore, parking is limited at times. I have come here 2-3 before, and they have a great selection of wide-stream music and local artists as well. The inside is filled with records and CD's filling shelves, bins, walls, and even the mantle of a fireplace. They also have a small stage and area to host events and live music inside. This year, We came here for Record Store Day 2024, and it was such a great event. We decided to come by around lunch time. They had vendors, food trucks, and live music set up around the shop. They were limiting the amount of people in the room with the RSD Titles; therefore, we waited in line for an hour to get into the store. That being said, this allowed for everyone to look through the bins leisurely. The staff and even the other customers were all so friendly! It was such a great experience, and we made so many memories this RSD! Support your local record store, and visit The Groove.

All my friends I was with were very happy with their findings as well. The only negative thing I could possibly say about this awesome place was the young guy with glasses that rang me up at cash register two. After setting my basket down and getting out my credit card, I realize he must be waiting for me to get the books out, so no problem, I'm not above that. He waits for me to get all my books out, scans them, and that's it. Doesn't give me a bag to put my all my books in, or even help put back in the basket. No words to indicate the interaction is over until I awkwardly realize it on my own. He was very off-putting. I will still be back because this place, otherwise, is amazing and I want to bring some family members and friends who I know will have fun too.

The daughter being done with her Master's program at Vanderbilt was looking for a place to…read moreoffload/sell her nursing textbooks. She found McKay's online and it seemed to be the best place to do that. Wow -- we were not prepared for the massiveness of this super, super busy place! Being our first time and not knowing how it all worked, it didn't take us long to figure out where to go and what to do. There wasn't much of a line when we started. We placed her books in a bin, then waited to be called by a greeter. Our greeter quickly explained the process, gave the daughter a claim ticket, then we waited. In the 40 minutes it took for her claim number to come up on the screen, we were able to walk through most of the sections and pick out a couple things to buy. I was quite surprised to find so many things beyond books -- DVDs, VHS, vinyl records, CDs, cassette tapes, clothing, Pokémon cards, instruments, game consoles, accessories, Legos, toys, comic books, etc. It was seriously amazing. My daughter decided to take her sale in trade which gave her about 50% more to spend. For the books they didn't buy she was given the option to take them back or donate them there. She chose to donate. The husband loves old movies, art and music -- he will absolutely enjoy McKay's. I can't wait to bring him here! The parking lot is as massive, so I don't think there's ever an issue with that.

A few years ago they took over the old church in East Nashville where they house their collection of wonders. As you enter the front door to the right, you'll find the box sets, limited editions and record day specials, both in vinyl and cds. The middle is predominantly vinyl and the left are the cds, both new and used. At the far end of the building where the altar would have been is now a stage where they sometimes showcase mini concerts, cd release parties, and book signings. Downstairs you'll find a good selection of books concerning music, be it country, rock, blues, folk or jazz. There's biographies history and style, again both new or used. Against the side wall there's a huge variety of jazz and classical. They give you a very fair trade-in value on used books, cds, and vinyls. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. If you've never been there, you owe it to yourself to go and spend a couple hours!
