CENTRAL RECORDS Hi-Fi Kitchen and Cafe

I stumbled upon this place by accident on my way back to my hotel the other night.

I didn't eat or drink anything, but I got some great vinyl.

I think it's a great concept having records for sale in a cool place to hang.

They also have a studio with a live DJ spinning most of the time.

They also stream all of their sets online so you don't even have to go there to enjoy the music.

A great little shop that I truly enjoyed digging in.

I look forward to dropping in again the next time I'm in town!

very chill and fun vibes! Love that they have a DJ for the weekends, and lots of cozy space to sit and chat. The volume of the bar is not too loud so it’s very easy to have a conversation while still enjoying the music. Drinks were about average price, and the cocktails we tried were strong, and tasty!

Plenty of paid and free street parking available, card-only. This is easily one of the dopest spots in downtown Phoenix, boasting the ability to quench your thirst, satisfy your stomach, and tickle your ear drums...all at the same time. You can nab one of their natural wines (by the glass or bottle) or grab a delicious beer (lots of local options!) while Dana artistically assembles a delicious plate for you and you peruse the fantastic selection of vinyl they have. On top of all that, they brew delcious coffee and have an assortment of non-alcohokic options! Not sure what you're shopping for when it comes to the vinyl? Use the handy-dandy QR code on each album to be taken directly to the digital album so you can give it a listen. Furthermore, they offer up art and music magazines and books, both for purchase or browsing. Check out their weekly wine/media/dinner specials and swing by at night for their ever-rotating DJ sets. HIGHLY recommended!

stopped in after a full day of exploring to have a glass of wine before I called it a night. immediately made a friend at the bar and we shared some tasty orange wine. i was close to talking myself into just going home, but super glad I decided against it. the staff was great and checked to see how we were doing often. my friend ordered some food that looked delicious, but I didn’t have any.

I can only spew love on this place. Drinks, music, atmosphere. The staff are always nice. I love turning people on to this gem.

Ok, in the spirit of my name, need to say something neg - it is unusually moist in there. But that's the only thing I can scrape up! Fantastic place!

As an AZ native, I’ve been waiting for us to have a space like this open up. Perfectly curated and you will have a fantastic time any time of day. Whether you’re working fans enjoying a cup of coffee or hanging out with friends on a Friday night with the DJ playing and sipping some natty wine. Impeccable. I’m obsessed, can you tell?

It’s gotta be the coolest place in Phoenix I’ve seen. Best staff around. The food was otherworldly and the music made me appreciate what it means to be human

Very chill place with good food and drinks 🍸 prices are a little high but that's to be expected down in phx. The only issue is finding parking. Other than that, it's a great spot to be.

I've been looking forward to the opening of this store. Jake and his team did an excellent job. Reminds me of some of the record store/cafes I visited in Tokyo. Lunch was very tasty.
Plenty variety of genres of wax to be had. Affordable prices, I came out with 11 records.

Central Records is my new favorite spot to grab an espresso and toast in the morning while hammering away at some action items. It also feeds my need to relax over a glass of natty wine and unwind with friends in the evening with live groovy tunes and community energy flowing. The icing on the cake is their eclectic and diverse vinyl selection, great for both the savvy underground collector and those just beginning their adventure into curating a collection. Even if you don't have a record player, this place will encourage you to buy one or at the very least become a regular to belly up over some olives and orange wine while enjoying the DJ spinning in the studio. Highly recommend stopping in next time you're on Roosevelt row!

In a new world where Roosevelt Row bars have long lines to get in on the weekends, this place is a gem. Top points for atmosphere, service, cocktails & reasonable prices. Great place for a date night. We'll be back to try the food!

Cool space. Service was great and nice enough to make me an off menu drink!

This place has a very cool vibe. The DJs were incredible. I didn’t get any food but the place has a good, but limited beer election and a really good wine selection. Really affordable as well.

Great spot with a very aesthetically pleasing atmosphere. Super good food and an awesome selection of delicious natural wines. Will (as well as the rest of the CR crew) was very knowledgeable and able to make some great recommendations. The live DJ was playing some great music over their incredible sound system. Oh and did I mention their huge variety of beautiful records? 10/10 will go back.

My goodness it's been a long time since Ive enjoyed a place so much. Monday nights are open deck for vinyl and cdj. Great beer selection. Natural wines. Employees are great. Everything is great, excellent record selection. Check it out

Such a beautiful and cozy place!

Great food, affordable and delicious wines, and the music is always amazing. I love this laid back space. One of my favorite date night spots and a great place to hang with friends!

So glad I went to check out this brand new spot. I highly recommend! Service was great, bar staff cleaning up regularly, resetting chairs and tables even asking how we were doing. A lot of great record finds as well. The best part was that it wasn’t overly crowded, allowed you to be able to look through everything. I would’ve love some more signage or organization to the collections, but the experience overall was great. Definitely worth checking out.

Cozy place with great vibes. Always something good playing. Have not eaten there.

Super cozy atmosphere & chill vibe! The food hit the spot with decadent rich flavors and there was a great selection of local beers/alcohols!
