World Records is where you go if you live music. It's not a mega store but you will find something you weren't looking for and if you don't find what you're looking for Pat can get it for.
Pat knows his music and loves talking music. World Records is a gem.

Wonderful venue and the Staff and Owners are all excellent. We really enjoyed the woodfired pizza and salad. The prices are all reasonable, ( if not excellent). I'd recommend them to everyone.

Wonderful experience in this local record store. You are treated like family and the owner, Pat, is very knowledgeable about a variety of genres. Will be visiting quite often in the future!

Smaller venue with a great selection of artists. If in Bakersfield, reserve and go. Call ahead to order handcrafted pizza and salad and go in early.

don’t be mean to people because of what music they like! being passive aggressive to swifties because they have a passion for music is ironic, because record shop employees should be passionate about music as well! spread kindness :)

Pat has a terrific store here for new and used records. He also sells CDs. He'll order anything you like.The absolute best thing about World Records is the concert venue. The acoustics are incredible. (The acoustics at the Fox Theater stink). The "No Stinking Service Charge Blues" series is great. He regularly gets Elvin Bishop, Tommy Castro, Dave Alvin, Sugaray Rayford, Tab Benoit, Samantha Fish, Selwin Birchwood Dave Alvin and more. He's even had Mavis Staples and Rosanne Cash!The concert prices are very affordable. No tickermaster fees!He also rents it out for weddings and class reunions.I gave him my Dad's old vinyl records. Hopefully they will find a new home with someone who will love them. ❤️

weird attitude towards taylor swift fans. if you can’t respect taylor and other artists who aren’t in genres you typically like then maybe don’t run a record shop? you’re meant to serve fans from all corners of music, respect artists especially those who have helped the increase in vinyl sales VASTLY

My partner called World Records to ask if a vinyl they were looking for would be getting additional stock. After the call ended, the owner called my partner back to lecture them about calling the store?? Honestly a shame

Wouldn’t recommend music snobs who will make fun of you choice in music. I’d rather rather buy from Amazon then support this small business

A great place to see a show. We met the owners and they are friendly hosts. Seats approximately 500 to 600 people. We will definitely make the trip up north from LA when our favorites play up in Bakersfield.
