Does anyone remember Thrift Town? That building that was three stories tall and full of amazing…read morevintage finds? Yeah, well it closed down but No Shop has risen through Thrift Towns ashes and the legacy of vintage lives on. The staff is exceptionally stellar!!!!!!!!!! They were so nice to me, gently letting me know that my YSL bag was a counterfeit, to educating me on why a diamond studded red velvet dress is a hard sale in the middle of summer. They don't take brands you are familiar with, but I did see some Nautica and American Apparel in there...but for the most part no H&M, Forever 21, Hollister, Abercrombie, zara etc. Beautiful collection of vintage clothes, from a Jacqueline Onassis inspired pink dress to a Save the Earth vintage denim jacket, and a planet on it's back studded with sequins. Beautiful merch.

No Shop was the last place we went to on Valencia street that day. We were tired, thirsty, and…read moregetting hungry. I have to admit that I didn't really go through the racks here as I enthusiastically did a couple shops before this one, so this is on our list to revisit a next time.

The space itself is super funky, quirky, and fun, tucked below an art gallery with artwork throughout, which gives it a really unique, creative vibe. There is a bar downstairs and they have a great selection including mocktail options It's one of those places that feels a little unexpected in the best way, and every event I've been to there has had a great energy and is intimate. The only downside is that there's just one bathroom, which can lead to really long lines and wait times during events. Otherwise, no complaints definitely a spot I'd keep coming back to.

The bartender was chill and quickly served our drinks. The drinks were from pre-batched and cans, but still served their purpose and because they were fast, the vibes kept vibing. I'm not sure if ticket prices for show differ based on the artist (they probably do), but for $20 bucks, I had a wonderful time with my buddies.

Majority of employees I've had a decent experience with except time and time again I keep getting profiled by this older lady in the store(the only one).

I wish I didn't live all the way in LA because I would be back sooner to shop if I wasn't so far. There's a plus size rack when you come in that had a pretty good selection. And soooo many things on the rack were cute. The employees were very kind to me and had a warm presence, communicative and helpful. I always get a little nervous going into a vintage shop because I feel like they are usually disappointing. A cold presence from the workers, slim to none selection for someone my size, and ridiculous prices - however, that was not the case at Moody Goose and I will be back!

I had an experience very similar to another reviewer's: two female staff closely followed me around…read morethe store and hovered near me while pretending to adjust racks. When I paid by credit card, I was asked for ID and told that "credit card thefts are very common here." I have lived in the U.S. for years and never get asked for ID for ordinary retail purchases, so in the context of being watched throughout the store, this felt like racial profiling rather than a neutral store policy. What made the experience especially upsetting was the contrast between the store's self-presentation and how I was treated. This is a vintage/counterculture-looking space in San Francisco, with a sign at the entrance advertising itself as the city's "No. 1" vintage store, yet I was made to feel like a risk object rather than a customer. I did not feel welcome or trusted as a non-white customer, and I would not feel comfortable returning.

Held Over was always genuine. It never tried or aspired to be something that it wasn't. It's vintage was affordable and timeless and it's staff were always helpful and kind. I am glad that the many items that I have hand selected from here over the years will continue to live on. If you happen to be in SF and reading this review - today is the perfect day to pay homage to a magical spot that has persevered through San Francisco's always changing business landscape. Today will be the last day to buy items from this thrift wonderland. Thank you Held Over for the beautiful memories and vintage threads. I heart you. Trust.

Plus, they are thoughtfully organized in sections from vintage windbreakers, to even older dresses from the 30s & 40s. There is a section for hats, glasses are kept in the glass cases at the cash wrap. While this isn't my favorite shop on the block, they do have specific finds. I've not found anything I felt worth buying based on my own style; but it is worth a walk-thru if you like to hunt and see pieces from the past. Also, big denim section, and extensive knitwear selections.
