Aite hear me out. A book swap…BUT WITH VINYL! 😮

Come hang with us up the street at The Beat District and share some vinyl with a close friend. And if you don’t have a vinyl to swap bring what you got and we can jam together.

We will also have tables with some games available including Uno, jumbo connect four, spades, etc.

Hungry? Grab some takeout from 1949 WineHouse or pablo.s_cantina right next door.

So come in today to shop a little, vibe a little, talk music and find your new home for music, THE BEAT DISTRICT (Petersburg, VA)
