Thrillhouse Records is a must visit if you're in the area and a fan of records!…read more My fiancé and I were in the area after having brunch and not in a hurry to leave San Francisco just yet.. I looked around the neighborhood on maps and found out this place existed. My fiancé is a big fan of vinyl records and is always looking to add to his collection so I figured this would be a good place to bring him.. and it was. Parking is all along the streets and you can probably get away with parking at the Safeway nearby if you're quick about it. The inside is fantastic - I've been in record stores before where everything is everywhere and not properly labeled, but Thrillhouse has sections labeled to help aid in your search for whatever it is you're looking for and I appreciate it. My fiancé bought two records and he's a happy camper.

I walked into the store while the owner was helping another customer check out. Since he was busy,…read morethere wasn't really a natural moment to say hello and my friend and I just started browsing. By the time the customer left, I was already looking at movies and honestly didn't clock that the other customer had left. I came across a movie I loved growing up and got excited, so I snapped a photo of it. I also thought the store's layout was really cool, and since my sister loves movies, I wanted to take a couple photos to potentially bring her back to check the place out sometime. While I was mid-photo, the owner suddenly raised his voice at me, saying I should have said hi and asked permission before taking any pictures. His tone was harsh and caught me off guard. There was no sign posted about a no-photos policy. If I missed it, I apologize, but even so, a simple "hey, we don't allow photos here" would have been completely reasonable. Instead, I got yelled at. I apologized right away and offered to delete the photos, explaining I'd just gotten excited about a movie I recognized. He brushed that off and said he didn't want photos of him or his store online without permission, then kept circling back to the fact that we hadn't said hello when we walked in, even though he'd been busy with another customer the entire time we entered, and there was never really a clear moment to do so. Greeting an employee mid-transaction isn't standard practice, and he never offered to help us either; he only brought it up after the photo incident. Also I did, once again offer to delete, but he seemed agitated and I felt extremely awkward after being yelled at. Overall, the store itself was interesting, but the owner's rude, condescending tone made the whole experience unwelcoming. Getting yelled at over an unposted rule, rather than just being asked politely to stop, felt completely unprofessional. Looking at other google reviews, I'm apparently not the only person who's run into this same attitude.

Super cool books, novels, short stories, and coffee table selections spanning from autobiographies, obscure poets, and beyond. There is also a cool selection of local art, small unique boutique style gifts, and clothing. I loved feeling like I stumbled into a spot that is deeply connected to a local scene, as I overheard many conflabs between local artists as I perused. I would definitely recommend scheduling some extra time to shop here during any visit to the Richmond area.

It is, it does have a lot of items I was genuinely looking for. However, my mistake was not reading the reviews throughly and seeing that those reviews are for a different store because the owner or whoever that was working that day was extremely unpleasant to communicate with because he was a little condescending like I don't know what I'm talking about even though I just had a simple questions.

Owner had the remaining records on full display without marking up the price. So, that's cool. Yes, it is a lot of re-issues. But I am in the process of making my collection better, not bigger. So, it's kinda perfect to get some of the standards I need. There is a small Used section that really only has good stuff. It's priced that way, but you don't have to rifle through a bunch of old Rosemary Clooney and Sing Along with Mitch titles. Seems like a pretty well oiled machine. And yes, I did drop half a paycheck in about 45 minutes.

Sadly, it seems that they have stopped giving freebies which made me really sad because that is what made them stand out among so many other K-pop stores.

Definitely will always come back, just a little disappointed that merging with Kpop Nara affected my original opinion.
