    Skinnie's store t shirt
    Garrett D.

    This is the perfect place to get records, band merch, and other select oddities that music heads can get down with. If you're ever in the Norfolk area this is an awesome stop on your tour. Steve is absolutely congenial, helpful and honest. He also knows his stuff and will talk to you about it for as long as you want to. Been there since 1982 and I hope it goes strong for long into the future. P.S. disregard all of the negative reviews. The people that have bad reviews have them for a reason, and it isn't this stores fault. It's theirs.

    Please keep mobile device to a minimum? Um why? So I can't look up prices & order online, instead? No thanks.

    Don't "waste your time". Never been here, didn't look the place up (should have). Just happened to drive past on a weekend and had time to kill. Maybe because I'm not from here, I've never seen a store like this locked up. There's a ring door bell you hit to be let in. After 5:30 you need an appointment . Novices or people who have never been should make an appointment?! What pretentious BS! I rang the bell. Was greeted in a kind of hostile manner. Was asked what I was looking for...Um...records? Told him I like to go to records stores and see what old vinyls they have, maybe catch a bargain bin, or sale. Expand my musical horizons but I'm not looking for any particular album, as my collection is rather large. "That's last century", "I'm in it to win it" was his literal response. Wild. I almost left on the spot, I should have because there wasn't much there. They had a couple cool older presses and they did have almost one of each album for most of the artists. Mostly everything was wrapped new, easily attainable online and priced higher than you can get at Walmart, though. I'm not from the area, so I don't know if this is normal but I have shopped around at stores when I travel, and have never hit a store like this. Vibe was totally off, completely ruined the experience of shopping at a vinyl store, which is something I like to do on a day off, for the activity. If I didn't, I would just buy online. After looking around for a bit, I said thanks, have a nice day as I was walking out. The guy I'm assuming owns the store, says "Sorry to waste your time" in the rudest, most sarcastic way possible. I'm from the Midwest and noticing a trend around here. Needless to say though, I won't be back and will advise people to shop elsewhere. I don't leave a lot of reviews but Holy hell, that was so weird, pretentious and completely unnecessary that I just had to.

    Went here Friday night after 9:30 pm. Decently full inside, all seats and tables were taken when we…read morearrived. There's now a security table/desk where the DJ booth used to be; definitely wasted space where more tables and chairs could've been added instead. Had to stand for about 10 mins before some people finally left then we had to like "hurry" to get the seats before anyone else got them. We needed an extra chair at our table and went up to the security to ask if he knew where anymore could be or if we could borrow the one that was behind his table since he seemed to only be standing all night, but he responded kind of harsh with a stern "NO"....def unnecessary. Even though he was rude, the bartenders were the opposite, making funny light conversation and friendly while we ordered and waited for our drinks. The atmosphere was a nice, chill, and intimate vibe, with red/orange lighting. To drink: I tried the Saturn (8/10) it was pretty good, I liked the flavor, but there really didn't seem to be much alcohol in it fr. To eat: we ordered a Margherita Pizza and added Pepperoni (10/10) it was fresh, flavorful, and all around really good. There were hints of spice in the sauce that really added to the flavors. Their pizza seems to be a popular menu item as I seen pizza boxes on almost every table throughout the night. Def will be back again, but next time, we're going to get there early, so we can have a table for the night. Looked like once people secured themselves a table in here, they held it all night long and never moved / left till closing. My overall rate of experience : 7.5/10

    Casual date night or a spot to hang out with friends with some layback tunes this is the perfect…read morespot to be at especially when they have special pop up. We went out for acid fish which was a pop mediterranean raw fish experience, and they delivered all the way through with the combination of fish as well as the flavor profile of each and how the presentation is. You just immediately are very pleased with everything I would recommend trying them out when they come through again and they do pop in quite frequently at this lounge and this was my first time ever trying them out and I'm very pleased of the service as well as the introduction of each component of the dish, the cooks were very friendly, as well as given us guidance of what choices to choose from based off of the menu. The menu does change each time they do come so items that you will see will vary, depending on what they are putting on for the menu. We try their Sicilian sashimi that was definitely a 10 out of 10 and good for people that want to kind of share rather than have a full plate is definitely well proportion as well as light and not too heavily in on the pallet. The vibes vary from day to day depending on what time you get there it can get really packed so the earlier the better if you want more of a calm night I would suggest getting there early rather later cause that is usually when the dj that are going on that night come in that's usually there peak time. The drinks are well crafted I tried their cocktail called Saturn it had a sweet taste and was more of tropical with the passion fruit perfect pairing with the raw fish dish we tried tonight. If you're looking for a spot that has more of chill vibe and has good music with different styles and beats each day this is the place for you.

We received a humiliating lecture in not reading the receipt which has 8 different store credit policy that makes no sense considering this store appears to be a small vendor that relies on thr community to keep the doors open. But the icing in the cake was the store manager I believe, he didn't announce his role, slipped out of his mouth that most niggers can't read as the cashier was preparing the cash back return for the item after saying he will allow it this one time. I guess he decided to break his own policy that is written on his receipt of no cash back returns - only store credit by how huge my eyes got when I heard the horrible word come out of his mouth. I will never return and I feel sorry for the African American male store cashier that works there for his calm and kind demeanor is what made me purchase in the first place. I will also be reporting this place to the BBB as well, maybe I don't know how to read how to make sure racists store receives reviews that hurt them just like they hurt their customers.
