Misfit records!
Justin W.

This place combines two of my favorite things: craft beer and good music. Volume is tucked between Weaver Street Market and another building in downtown Hillsborough. The shop itself has a great feel to it: part record shop, part beer bar, part basement lounge. The record selection here is great. There's a wide variety of genres and price ranges available, from rare first pressings to the random Raffi album I bought for my daughter for $1. It's easy to discover a treasure here. There's also great beer on tap. With 12 taps (or thereabouts), there's a style of beer for everyone, and the owners do a nice job of balancing the tap list. Everything on tap is a local, regional, or national craft beer. No big beer brands here, at least not when I went. Cheers to that! Everything is served in pint glasses only, and a pint of anything on tap was just $5. There's seating at the bar, along the windows, and in a lounge area. If you're browsing, there are music stand beer holders scattered throughout the store that allow you to easily set down your drink while you rummage through the record bins. It's a small place, but that's part of its charm. On a busy night, I can see it being standing room only. Volume has quickly become one of my favorite places in Hillsborough, and I'll be back regularly

Cool concept with fresh on tap brews of all kinds and vinyls to sort through and buy. Place has a very cool, 70's vibe with retro couch's.

Tony is a genius with music and with beer. Super helpful, and the perfect place for an afternoon hang.

This self-service taproom has plenty of artisan beers in stock. There are some hard ciders and…read morewines available too. Check in at the register and pick up a red wristband. You'll use that to pour your drinks. Drinks are priced by the ounce, so feel free to build your own flight! Seating options include high tables, low tables, and a patio. All seating is community-style, so don't be shy and go meet some new people!

I had never been or heard of this place, HOWEVER I love the concept! So when you walk in - you are greeted by the cashier. They provide a bracelet and ask how much would you like to put on the bracelet? Once you pay, they load your bracelet with the funds and then you are free to drink! They have beer, cider, and wine - no liquor. They also DO NOT serve any type of food, but there are plenty of restaurants in very close proximity. If I am not mistaken, you are allowed to bring food in...Anyhow, you find the drink you want, scan your bracelet, and then fill you glass! Just that simple. The name and price will be displayed on the screen for whatever drink you decide on. Each drink gives the ounce that will be provided for that drink. Check them out! The employees are really helpful & it's just a all around good time. HAPPY DRINKING!!!

I have been to play music bingo and their anniversary celebration and it is just always a great time. There is plenty of space inside and out and a private room for events as well!

My friends convinced me to give this place a second chance. I knew I should have said no but they…read morewere so adamant about it and I thought maybe it would be better this time. I was wrong. So wrong. This place is the absolute worst. It's so unfortunate because the place is beautiful and has potential. I've learned my lesson and there will not be a third time. We attempted to sit at a table for 8 but the chairs are oversized and the tables are far too close together. We had to remove two chairs to even attempt to slide across the chairs because you cannot pull them out to sit down. It's extremely difficult and uncomfortable to have to slide all the way out to let people in and out. Not user friendly at all. I wanted to order a beer but just like last time they didn't have any beer I'd ever drink which is saying a lot as I will drink anything that's not an IPA or super yellow. So I ordered the Rosè margarita but the male bartender told me they were out of that drink. Impossible. I could see both rosè and tequila from where I was standing. A female bartender overheard the male bartender lying to me and she said she would make the margarita for me. Hmmmmmmmm. So one honest bartender and one who lies because he only wants to pour beers. Thanks for solidifying that I was right to say I'd never be back to this awful establishment.

This place is everything but quick.. it took us 40 minutes to get our order, the fries were cold and the rest of the food was just kinda meh. It's quite a shame given the price, I'm guessing they get away with it because there's not really a lot of options to choose from her food and drink. The only reason I'm doing a two star is because my husband said he liked the brew choice and the bread in his sandwich was good ----- Updating given recent remarks in response to my review ---- I appreciate the response to the review, however, I want to be clear that I did not state anything to the nature of referring to or expecting pricing to be in line with fast food pricing... If this is what I was seeking, we certainly would have gone elsewhere (fast food within half a mile) I can only assume someone else has made this remark to the business in the past, however, the comment on pricing specifically related to the sheer amount of food given. i.e. my husbands sandwich had very little protein on it and relied on getting filled by the bread and extra side of fries purchased.

The food was nothing to write home about and I would never return for a meal again. However, their…read moreroot beer is the best I've ever had and I'd definitely stop by again for that or a root beer float!
