Vinyl Cup Records

"The guy who was working, whom had the dog, was an absolutely jerk. I continuously heard him make the in person customers and even the customers over the phone feel like an inconvenience. There was about 3 records I planned on purchasing there today but had to leave because he was so rude and the vibes were horrible. I love supporting local business rather than buying from Amazon, but I’ll stick to other record shops in the DSM metro area."

"Very lively place, it feels great to know my Crosley & I are welcome. Being new to the Vinyl community, it is hard to find a place that prides themselves in a judge free zone. Let's stop the bigotry & support this great small business!"

"Knowledgeable, quality and customer focused are just a few words that come to mind when I think about Vinyl Cup Records. I highly recommend the shop if you are interested in vinyl or music in general. The staff are always fun to visit with about the shared love of music and are always super helpful in tracking down hard to find releases or suggestions with new music to try. Vinyl Cup also has great deals and coupons that help with the bottom line. Go for a visit, you will be happy you did!"

"Best damn record shop! The owner is friendly, supportive and has a great sense of humor. Great selection, friendly staff, free pop, water or beer and amazing listening room. And Earl the shop dog is the best. Such a good boy."

"Smaller inventory than some other shops but the quality of the inventory is amazing! Really great records and often titles that you very rarely see on vinyl. The building is really cool too. The person working there offered me something to drink while I was there and talked enthusiastically about punk, Bob Dylan, and other varied topics. This is probably the best record store in Des Moines for more hard to find, more expensive used vinyl. Don't go here unless you want to be tempted to spend your life savings on great music"
