Phenomenal selection, great prices and the owner is an extremely nice guy. Love Acme Records, best record shop in Milwaukee.

Great vibe and selection here. As others have mentioned, the budget section in the back is not to be missed, a wide variety of popular and obscure gems at a competitive price. I couldn’t coax the dog out of its spot though.

I had a good time at Acme Records as someone who honestly doesn't know much about records. I got my first turntable a few weeks ago and a few albums from Goodwill, and wanted to go somewhere I could browse by genre rather than by artist, which this place has so it was great for me. Lots of space to move around, organized really well, and I was happy there was a rather large Electronic section which for me is what I'm most interested in right now. I love electronic music but obviously not all of the artists I like have vinyl, so I like browsing and either finding artists I know or finding new ones that look interesting. I got two vinyl that just looked cool to me and also got another from the soundtrack section that I did know, and I feel like the prices were really fair. Like, basically the same price I would pay online or even a bit less since I didn't pay for shipping.The budget section is great too, but again as I'm more into electronic not a lot was interesting to me at the moment but perhaps when I start collecting more I'll head back there. Also the dog is extremely cute, her name is Gerdy and she immediately walked up to us and was trying to look into our bags and wanting pets.The man working I think may have been the owner, but whoever he was, he was nice and helpful when I asked a few questions about an artist I liked. I'll definitely be back to see what else I can find!

Really chilled record store, very good prices for very good records. Owner was knowledgeable and kind, shared some wisdom. There was a dog, so automatically a good experience.

One of my very favorite shops in the Midwest, always make the time to stop when I’m in from Des Moines. Their $5 budget room is better than probably 50% of the shops in America.Deep deep selections in all genres from the staples to the most obscure. I bet the owner has a world class collection ?

Exceptional record shop! I drove all the way up from Chicago to browse the shop and sell some records. The selling process was easy and exceptionally fair. Highly recommend Acme for both buying and selling vinyl records. Huge bonus points for the adorable dog ?

Always a fun time in the Annex as treasures are there to be found! Also found some great regional stuff that I never expected to see on vinyl. And the prices are more than fair.

Came in before seeing Ministry at the Rave. Great little store! Great prices and selection. Walked out with a Gorillaz double LP for 15 bucks! Staff member was friendly and polite. Very pleased with my experience

Great store with lots of uncommon titles out on the floor. Some of the workers are engaging, Shopkerper Ken is usually busy staring at a computer screen. Stock rotates regularly. Lots of interesting stuff to explore here that's not mainstream or simply derivatives.

Great record store in a cool part of the south side of Milwaukee. They have a budget annex with very reasonably priced vinyl records. The resident dog is very nice.

Lots of hard to find records; rock, blues and jazz. Albums are always in good condition, prices always fair. The owner is a cool guy as well.
