Portland Vinyl
Your guide to Portland's record stores — mapped & routed
The Vinyl Route
These Portland record stores are arranged in a drive-optimized loop — start anywhere and follow the numbered pins for the most efficient tour of the city's best crates.
Each stop is a world of its own. Plan a full day, bring cash, and leave room in the trunk.
Follow the Numbered Pins
Each store is numbered in route order on the map. Start at #1 or jump in anywhere — the loop is designed so you never backtrack across the city.
Bring Cash & a Bag
Most stores are cash-friendly and some are cash-only. Bring a sturdy tote — you will find more than you planned for. Leave room in the trunk.
Plan a Full Day
Serious crate-diggers should budget 30–60 minutes per shop. Hit the SE Hawthorne cluster in the morning, cross the river for downtown stores, then finish the NE Alberta loop.
