“Great shop, folks, bikes and gear. Have bought three bikes over the last few years for me and my two kids. Each was a different bike, brand, situation... and every purchase experience was a pleasure. They make it easy and comfortable and go out of the way to assure you're happy and content, during and after the sale. They have your back with no judgement...with an at your service attitude. And they know their stuff. Highly recommend!”
“Am staff member, fantastic selection. It is hard work designing and ordering to stock this store, but they do it well! Very creative!Staff in the store have always been friendly and helpful… they represent the University well. I love stopping in to see what’s new, even if I don’t buy anything. Pricey, as you might expect in a gift shop.”
“I’ve been fly-fishing for over 40 years and have fished the world and seen hundreds of fishing shops…Albermarle angler is THE greatest fishing store I’ve ever been to. It’s not large but everything in it is everything you’d want from top notch waders, boots, an entire spectrum of rods and reels - from very affordable entry level pieces to top of the line heirloom worthy rods/reels. The collection of clothing is top notch with Tom Becke, Filson, Orvis, to name a few. Luggage, fishing packs, flies, lines, leaders….its endless.
The BEST part of this store is the staff and the personalized attention you get. There is no sale pressure just genuine help wanting to make sure you are comfortably geared up to enjoy this wonderful sport.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND this store. I shopped there from out of town while visiting my daughter and will absolutely stop back and load up every time I’m in Charlottesville!”
“From a phone call to in-store and all the way to checking out, these folks really helped me out! Exceptional service from a very knowledgeable team. Thank you for helping with my roof top box and other purchases.”
“We always find everything we need here and have always had great service. This weekend the staff went above and beyond. My son needed new shoes during a college match at W&L and the team at Charlottesville Pro Shop ensured we got them on EXTREMELY short notice so that he could play on the second day of the tourney. Thanks to all of this team, he was able to play!”
“Placed an online order on a set of Taylormade iron’s (that I got for a steal might I add).
Ordered them late on a Saturday night, Was so eager to get an update that I reached out to the store via email about 30 minutes before closing on a Monday and I got a response within 5 minutes with an update that my package had been picked up and was headed to my local area!
Big shoutout to get guys and gals at play it again Charlottesville!”

“I went to the branch at Bond street. Maybe I’m just old school but I much prefer the location at the corner... I got what I needed but feel the corner store has lots more to offer. Corner store gets five stars!”
“Great environment, very clean and organized! What makes this store GREAT is the staff, so welcoming and kind, always willing to help. Always excited to shop here?”
“A small and knowledgeable dance store. My daughter has gotten two pairs of pointe shoes here this year and the employees are very knowledgeable in helping dancers select the correct shoes for them. I had my toddler with me at our last visit and had to step outside so he wouldn’t put his hands on everything. My daughter said the lady helping her made her feel safe and comfortable while I tended to her brother. They worked on picking out her new pair of pointe shoes and some others. When I came back in they were finished and I got info on where to order shoes they didn’t carry. Pricing is decent as dance shoes are expensive everywhere. Shop is small and cozy. They have an employee that is immunocompromised and they ask that everyone entering to wear a mask. They do provide one if you don’t have one on you.”
“Had a great experience shopping here, and will likely return again soon! Pleasant atmosphere and quality items and prices. Wonderful, and I mean amazing customer service. I felt right at home! Will be back.”
“It's a fantastic store that has been around for ages. They have everything you could possibly want including shirts for every single athletic team. Great service as well. However, the prices are steep.”

“Maybe not a super fair review...but they were wiped out. ? It was the weekend (Saturday) after the Xmas holiday. I get it if the shelves are thin after the shopping frenzy but the store was pretty dirty. Things were randomly everywhere and anywhere. Just a general clean up would have been nice for the customer experience.”
“Excellent service--they went out of their way to help my son pick the perfect Christmas gifts for his riding instructor and her horses! They're also extremely knowledgeable about all things riding, English or Western. Their store has a great selection of clothing, accessories, horse and human riding needs. I don't know if they're the only game in town, but they're definitely the one I'll be returning to!”
“Stop by for sale on shower shoes. Love to walk in and being ask if need help. Used were flip flops where found what I wanted & was even given Military Discount. Big Thank you”
“I bought a pair of shoes in this store on March 6, 2026. Kojo is the most knowledgeable shoe expert I have ever encountered in my adult life. Very friendly , professional. He would tell me the ups AND downsides of each type of shoe, and for example, why a certain shoe would have the feel it does to walk or jog in. Highly recommended.”
“Best shoe-buying experience ever. Lady who was helping us asked many questions and even watched me walk to determine the best shoe for me. She was right; these are the most comfortable shoes I have purchased.”
