Fantastic little record shop, with really good local beer on tap also. Staff (and owner) extremely friendly and accommodating as well. Good people, great place.

Great selection of vinyl. Easy place to browse. Selections are well categorized. Added some nice titles to my collection. Will return for sure.

The owner really knows his stuff about music and is a true champion of preserving the old school record experience. Throw in some nice cold beers and a passion for the city, this place is top notch. Worth the trip. Been following them from day one. Keep it up, Bell.

Awesome Service! I messaged them interested in purchasing one of the Sovereignty pieces via online purchase. Michael I believe helped me with the payment method and shipping information very quickly. Within the same hour of me purchasing, the package was already at the post office. Would recommend to anyone who purchases nice glassware.

Great combo vinyl record store + bar on 9th St in Durham. And, they allow, and even, welcome dogs! 🐾

Hunky Dory is truly an outstanding haunt for vinyl. Even if you are there for the records, they offer a variety of drinks and ample seating as well. The staff and even the customers were friendly. We had a great experience and plan to come back soon!

Super cool store! The selection was pretty broad and the downstairs basement was all $1/$2 finds. They also gave merchandise and tobacco products as well as incense. **6 months later and Hunky Dory had quickly become one of our most favorite places. The staff has impressed me more with each visit which has been quite a few times at this point. The owner is the best. Side note-he allowed my twin 4 year olds to take over their new big screen with Paw Patrol while we shopped. The new look is absolutely amazing. The beer addition was a fabulous idea. I know it must have took a lot of work but it's so worth it! We tried Kombucha today, so so good! Our 45 minute drive to get to you guys is beyond worth it. Thank you!!!!

Cool record store with friendly employees and a relaxed basement area. It's got beer and a smoke shop with a pretty solid selection despite being somewhat small. Whenever I come in there's always something good playing. Shoutout whoever had flying microtonal banana by king gizzard on the speakers when I walked in.

Walked out empty handed! Vinyl a bit over priced for the condition I saw. Came to the Raleigh/Durham area for an all day record hunt.Quickly scratched this location from my list. However, Very relaxed low key establishment which is cool. I think records is just half the business, wish I had had the time for a brew.

Wow! What a cool store. The best place to go in the triangle to sell and buy your vinyl. The owner, Michael Bell is knowledgeable and well informed. This was worth the hour drive from Goldsboro NC to experience. I highly recommend this store and would plan your visit here before going anywhere else.

Great place to buy or sell records (that's vinyl for those of you young ones). Located in Durham NC, the owner is great to talk to, and the staff knows their stuff. I haven't been there later in the day, but I've been told that they have beer, and dank for those interested.

Great record/beer spot in Durham. They've always been great but feels like over the last year or two, they've really upped their game in what they bring in. They always have great beer on tap as well. We're super spoiled in downtown Durham, with three amazing spots to dig.

What an awesome place! My son loves records so we drove from fayetteville just to check this place out. They had discount records in the basement, sold beer, and the records were a great selection. My son found a few records. They offered my dog to come in and even got her fresh water! What a unique place. You really do want to come in and hang out!
