Love coming to this place, very unique with a record store/restaurant combination. I can spend a whole afternoon here looking through records and engaging in conversation with the kind, knowledgeable staff. Also do open mics and live musical performances if you're interested in local entertainment.
Great cocktails, Great vinyls, great people, great vibes!! You won't regret it! Tonight, 9/6, enjoying the awesome sounds of Echo & Ransom.
This is the coolest place: they sell 33 & 45 vinyls, 8 tracks and the cafe has unique coffee drinks. Great vibes!!!!
Awesome place! Played a gig here and had a fantastic time. Great selection of vinyl too!
Great place
Black Dog Vinyl Cafe delivered an incredible experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, creating the perfect setting for an evening of live music. We attended Demi Clara’s Story Time Songwriter Showcase and were amazed by the talent on stage. Each artist brought something unique, making the performances both engaging and unforgettable. The food and drinks were just as impressive. The toasted cheese sandwich was a standout—it melted in my mouth with the perfect balance of crispness and gooey goodness. Every bite was pure comfort. The service was outstanding. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, making sure everyone felt welcome and well taken care of. Their attentiveness added to the overall experience, making the night even more enjoyable. This is the kind of place that makes you want to come back again and again. Fantastic music, delicious food, and exceptional service—highly recommended!
One of my favorite places to go. Great atmosphere and amazing people. Huge selection of records and wonderful community involvement. Also the iced coffee is delicious and always changing with seasonal flavors!
Black Dog Vinyl Cafe is one of my favorite places to hang out and I got there several times a month. The combination of live music and a warm, community-oriented vibe makes it truly special. It's not just about the music, though; the cafe feels like a hub for bringing people together. I appreciate how they support local musicians, giving them a platform to shine, especially with their multiple open mics. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, and it's easy to lose track of time while enjoying the tunes and browsing through vinyl records. The staff are always helpful and add to the overall positive experience. I highly recommend it!

These ppl don't like you enforcing your rights. Do yourself a favor and go to a real coffee shop that doesn't have pronouns and call the cops because their feelings get hurt. God forbid you film in public near that business, they'll call the cops and lie to them to have them threaten you.
Great atmosphere, great people, relaxing and awesome live music!
The owner is terrible and abused the local police resources calling to report individuals recording, which by the way is a constitutionally protected activity. Wake up ppl, wokeness must stop.
Great live music and drinks!
Locally owned by a wonderful family! Excellent music selection and great coffee. Bar is perfect too. Live music creates a great environment for those that enjoy good food, drinks, and music. Employees are SOO nice. Owners are extra awesome!!
This place is also a safe place for LGBTQ+, and people of all backgrounds and makeups. The only people who should not feel comfortable here are racist and bigots.
Love BDV!! Will always be a customer!
