Vinyl Tap puts the record shop and the evening hang in the same room. New and used LPs, singles and box sets share the address with a bar serving local and regional beer. The release list is substantial enough to plan a music purchase around, including CDs among the new titles; the bar is an addition to a working record business. Its East Nashville corner also changes the timing of a visit. Earlier shopping can accommodate younger collectors, while the published age policy shifts in the evening. Check that before bringing the whole family for a late browse.

Local tips
The shop publishes all-ages access until 7 p.m. Check the current age policy and any event restrictions if visiting later; buying a record and attending a bar event are different plans.
