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.

The name Nashville's Best Boutique couldn't be more fitting! I stumbled upon this shop through a…read morequick Yelp/Apple Maps search for cowboy hats and shirts, and it truly is a hidden gem. Everything inside was super cute, very affordable, and the staff were so helpful in finding the right size shirt for me. I ended up leaving with quite a few things! If you're looking for an inexpensive cowboy hat for a night out, or a fun souvenir like a T-shirt or necklace, this is the perfect spot. The jewelry and accessories were adorable too,I easily could have spent another hour browsing. Definitely a must-visit stop on your next trip to Nashville!

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!

If you went into a coma in the late 80's and woke up and walked in here you'd be at home, although…read moreyou might wonder why the owners weren't smoking nor a fairly bad radio station playing on a yellowed out radio. Ever lament that you didn't have the GI Joe Helicarrier? Wanted to sit behind Skeletor's castle and talk into the voice distorting wolf microphone? Wanted to show kids the true meaning of pain with a perfectly authentic Jem mask with next to no nose space so you ended up getting a crunched nose while every breath you took blew right into your eyeballs? This is your place. They've got more Marvel themed toys than I knew existed prior to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. There's just a lot of joy in there, even if there's not particularly anything I wanted from them other than a couple of Iron Man figures I might go back and get because I'm cool like that. Check 'em out, then wander next door to the Kitty Cafe and pet some cats, wander around the corner and go behind to Craft South for some knitting, cross the street and walk to El Nopalito and get some food, and polish it off at La Colmena and you've got an 80's kid's dream (well, maybe not for the knitting part)

The Gift Horse is a favorite of the daughter. As soon as I walked into the bright and colorful…read morestore, I could see why. The space is small but packed with so many wonderful things! I especially loved all the tomato-themed gifts. I just found out that the tomato is Tennessee's state fruit, then kept overhearing people talk about the annual Tomato Festival every August! Yes, I will need to see that one of these years! It was tough, but we finally decided on some souvenirs -- keychains, pens and hairclips -- to bring back to Cali. Super-friendly and helpful people. Reasonable prices. Easy street parking.

I struggled with the "Never look a gifthorse in the mouth" idiom for eons…read more It made me think I was on the spectrum and had somehow evaded detection by the Florida Public School System. To my credit, people are very poor at explaining it. To use another idiom, it's more or less the same thing as "Beggars can't be choosers". If you get 'ish for free, you have no right to bitch and moan about its quality. Anyway, the items in this shop are not free, but they are very much gift-worthy. If you want to seem funny or thoughtful or clever or witty towards someone you love (or perhaps someone you want to love you), this is the place to go. All manner of knick-knacks that are not junk, that are generally interesting, enlightening, or useful. Like a horse, with real good teeth.

Hail is the only oddities store I know of in the Metro Nashville area (if you know another, let me…read moreknow). And there is a lot of odd stuff in here. A mixture of occult, medical equipment and goth types of goods, with a touch of taxidermy. The star of the show, to me, is the taxidermy room. Not something I would purchase, but fun to look at. The first time I came, there was a racoon they called rocket that looked like he was flipping people off with both hands (Guardians of the Galaxy?). This time, we opted to go into the museum as a two-4-one ($5/person normally) - a benefit of conversing with people? Back here are some items that they can't sell due to regulations, as well as some oddities they would not want to part with. There is also a collection from Jason Marsden, including his death mask and a few items from the movie Mars Attacks. I find myself drawn to this store each time I am over here. While some of the collection is fairly static, there is always something new and weird to find.

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.
