Knowledgeable owner, great selection, and good prices. I found an original U2 Boy album here!
If you love music. I mean love, than this place is great! With a great selection of classic, vintage vinal. From rock to pop, to sinatra and motown, you’ll love it there. With prices that are very reasonable , there’s something for everyone.
The owner, David, was full of life and stories. The shop has a huge variety of vinyls, and if you are looking fora specific album I bet he can get it for you.
It was closed that day so I didn’t get to tour it
Records galore, can fine whatever you want..
Owner knows his music and will share a story or two. If you love vinyl LP’s, they have lots of variety. A cool little spot to go check out. Buys and sells!
Came by every day for four days in a row during the open hours and no one has been in the shop. Also called multiple times during different times of the day and no one answered.
I have stopped by this store half a dozen times, always between the hours of noon and 7pm. Despite the lights being on and the signs saying open, despite the hours of operation listed online, I have yet to be able to go inside because it is ALWAYS closed. Looks like it’d be a cool store to dig through, but it seems like I’ll never get the chance. Every time I stop by, I call the store number – it goes straight to voicemail and the mailbox is always full. What a complete bummer.

Great coffee, food and service is awesome. Great place to study.
First time to go into this store was today and WOW! Amazing people. Wonderful atmosphere. Great prices. And delicious coffee!!! I’m so impressed. Plan on going back tomorrow!
Good food reasonably priced. I enjoy the atmosphere. You can easily carry on a conversation without having to shout over the music. The staff is wonderful and very helpful with the books.
Peaceful, peaceful. Very nice folks. Good place to sit in quietness and read, work, study.
Very nice atmosphere, clean, and organized, particularly fond of the display tables, which make all the items easy to find and stand out without clutter. This is my 3rd time visiting and unfortunately the coffee (frappe) each time was very watery, loaded with syrup and whipped cream, I think they did their best however my friends and I search for new coffee shops, especially with a relaxing environment such as this. The Service was nice, but when asked about making a certain frappe with espresso I got no response & a look of confusion. Just a suggestion since the downtown sheffield area has grown & improved its appearance greatly, this book store/coffee shop seems a great visitor attraction, def worth the effort to seek training/education in coffee strengths, the variety of coffee drinks & their skills in preparation, the knowledge might be something to consider offering employees in order to provide consistent, quality/taste of the coffees offered. Thanks again
Classics like the entire works of Spurgeon. Lovely coffee/sandwich shop in a nicely restored older downtown building. Indoor dining or enjoy the outdoor cafe.
I have been here twice so far, and it was pretty disappointing both times. The staff is nice, but unfortunately, the food and coffee are not.
The coffee is really weak, just cloudy water really. The mocha I got was similarly weak and kinda tasted like a half packet of hot cocoa mix in warm water.
The sandwiches I got were pretty lackluster too. My first time I ordered a Cuban panini. What I got was some cold, sad slices of ham, roast beef, and Swiss cheese with nary a pickle in sight on an okay French roll that they had put in the panini press for the better part of 10 seconds. It was served with a few packets of plain yellow mustard on the side. My second sandwich, the “LQ”, was a little better. It was a turkey, bacon, avocado, Swiss sandwich also on a French roll. The deli meats were still a little sad, but at least they melted the cheese this time. The sandwich was served with a delicious spicy mayo on the side which was definitely the most flavorful item I had in my two visits.

Awesome music venue! Spacious floor with nice size stage. Great vibes all around. Brought back great memories seeing some of the old Aromas Coffee Shop posters.
Amazing venue with amazing people!
Fantastic music venue, if you ever get the chance to see Satan’s Youth Ministers perform there you are in for a show!

Helpful and knowledgeable staff and great selection
Amazing store, nice and informative staff!
Great selection, good prices and helpful folks.
Could have more music techs. I came in and looked at some guitars and amps but no staff approached me. Merchandise was great though!
Great place if U love music and playing it
Been before years ago but when I went this time to sell, was really low balled and honestly talked out of a sale too. So normally good, but today was a confusing visit to say the least. However, the blonde girl who’s name is didn’t get working was very nice! Would go there just for her customer service again!
Seems like some decent prices but very stale service.the blonde at the front desk acts like it hurts her face to smile r speak someone done told her she cute 1 to many times
Over priced needed Reed’s and I can get them 10 for 28-32 dollars any where. Theirs was 10 bucks as. And I had to have them that day. Nope I’m done with them
9. Shoals Guitar Boutique
Address: 511 Woodward Ave, Muscle Shoals, AL 35661 , Sheffield , Alabama , United States
AMAZING! An absolutely great tour guide, so much knowledge to be shared each tour. This was my third time visiting Muscle Shoals Sound Studio, learn something new each tour. This is definitely a must see for everyone.
First time visiting but plan to bring our friends back! Chase was our tour guide, and he fascinated us with stories about the many artists who recorded such great music at this studio. We are fans of the Swampers and are so glad this landmark has been preserved!
History of Rock and Roll in one little block building! Great tour!
What a great place to visit. The history of some of the best music ever made, deserves to be remembered (that’s from the History Guy).
Ok…not near as friendly or knowledgeable as the folks at Fame. Still worth a visit.
Very interesting place! Our guide was very knowledgeable and was so passionate when the history of the studio.
Unfortunately, the tour did not include any music clips, but when we were there before it did. The music clips bring the tour alive, rather than someone pontificating on some fabrication of stories, and their roll in them. I would no longer recommend this tour. It could have been done in a lecture hall. Someone was even thrown out of our tour group!
Let me be fair upfront on my two star rating. I never entered the building. After checking the website the day before for hours I made the almost three hour drive to visit the studio on a Sunday afternoon. I arrived to a parking area with a few other cars waiting but no one to let us in the building. One sad couple had even purchased tickets in advance. After waiting around a bit a young lady finally arrived inky to I form me Sunday tours had ended the weekend before but the information had not been updated. Moral of the story: call ahead.
Wasn’t impressed. Did not want to wait an hour for the tour. Trinkets and admission high
11. Widget Recording Inc
Address: 3804 N Jackson Hwy, Sheffield, AL 35660 , Sheffield , Alabama , United States
We were on vacation and stopped in the store. He had a firearm I was interested in and we made the deal. Very nice customer service!!
Larry also took the time to tell us of a few “local” attractions we would not have known about if not for him.
The rock wall was great Larry!!!!
I WILL stop back in when are in the area!!
ALWAYS ALWAYS HELPS!!!!!
Very Friendly and extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Called a few pawn shops before Sonny’s and the other shops were short and didn’t have a clue.
This business posted a Dewalt 20V 3/8 Ratchet on Facebook… I messaged about picking the item up on a Friday morning (due to my work schedule). They replied back and said that was fine and they would hold it for me. I show up on the day we agreed on and the item had “accidentally” been sold to someone the day before….
13. Sheffield Hardware

Full service home town hardware store. Great selection and helpful staff
Awesome, classic downtown hardware store. Easy quick goto for this and that. The staff is always kind and helpful. Thanks, and keep up the good work!
Good courteous service, although they didn’t have what I needed.
Handy to pick up small hardware and painting supplies without lines and crowds. Support local businesses.

Full service recording studio located in Studio B of the historic Muscle Shoals Sound Studio (2nd location).

15. Alabama Super Pawn
Address: 102 Cox Blvd, Sheffield, AL 35660 , Sheffield , Alabama , United States
Great service every time. Great selection and good people
I have Always had poitie results and professional service here. I own 2 firearms i bought from them, as well as jewelry. They are always super friendly, courteous, and professional!!
They’ve always been super nice n very helpful
Very helpful the one time I was there
These people are straight up jerks I called them to ask if they had seen my dell laptop that had been stolen out of my car and all he wanted to do was cuss me and laugh saying “why would we have it” ?? I do believe crooks steal stuff and take them to pawn shops to sell…
Everything was priced fair but I purchased ammo that would not fire from my 300 blk out and I explained to the owner how several other types of ammo fired properly and he did refund me in full for two of the four boxes I had purchased but I had also purchased a 60rd promag drum and I never used it or even fully loaded it and I understand that they could not take it back and refund me for it but they refused to even give me store credit. I would have recommended this place to anyone and personally done a lot of business there but after this I don’t think I’ll be back.
Know prices before you go here. Never pay their asking price, I promise it’s too high.
Just heard an employee out of the back very loudly say “MOTHER F@!*%ER, then shortly after “GOD @!%*!!” I said excuse me so he knew I heard him. Never once offered an apology. Neither did the cashier. Her response was, “Thats why I stay up here”
Will never be back unless that manager is not there!!! He is very rude and almost hit my mother with stuff from a cart.
The manager is an absolute nightmare.
I went to pick up a few items today and this was my experience:
First he comes out of the office in a huff and says to the woman in front of me “you should’ve just gone to Walmart” bc she had more than a few items
Then the poor cashier accidentally hit cash instead of card
I wanted to make sure I wasn’t going to get charged twice, which is a valid concern.
He proceeded to scream at me “we hit the wrong button on our side!!!!” And then he stormed away.
Something needs to be done about management in this location. The way he is treating customers is unacceptable

Address: 401 E 1st St, Sheffield, AL 35660 , Sheffield , Alabama , United States
An institution manned by actual musicians with reasonable prices
Super friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. They had a fantastic price on a starter guitar (a VERY NICE Ibanez). Had a good variety of guitars, a few bass guitars, a decent selection of amps and other gear. He had just set-up a guitar for a local musician, and he was thrilled with the result. Will definitely go back to get stuff for the beginner and for myself.
Darrell and the Sound Shoppe have always treated me like a friend. I would not take my guitars to anyone else for service. I’ve never been disappointed in the work he has done on my instruments. Thank you, bro!
Cozy and good range of product
Knowledgeable people
Has your needs
Condescending ahole will barely offer any help or advice on products
Very rude customer service. They are also really hard to get on the phone during posted business hours. Take a 10 minute trip to Counts Bro. It’s worth it.
Save your money and time – go to Counts Brothers or use the internet, which you know you should be doing anyways. I would write out what a bad experience I had last time I shopped here, but this is a small town and not worth the blowback. I’ll never go to this shop again.
20. Alabama Music
Address: 2450 Mall Rd, Florence, AL 35630 , Sheffield , Alabama , United States
Researched music stores that “buy” instruments. This store popped up among others. Called store. A woman answered. She was cold & rude. I inquired & she said No. Their competitor also confirmed that they buy instruments.
