Music Millenium NW

I love this place. Used to come here in the early 90's in my late teens/early 20's. Returned 25 years later while dealing with a bad headache and it was truely a site for sore eyes. It was just as I remembered it, if not better. I've been to dozens of places around the country; you will never find another Music Millennium anywhere. Great selection of music and there are listening stations to try out stuff you never heard before. Staff is excellent. Ambiance of store 5/5 stars.

Go there and hunt for music. I always buy more than I planned and am so stoked when I get home.

This place is the bomb! They have so much of the music I like

They got all the CDs and Vinyls you need, even German bands nobody's ever heard about. The store is divided into multiple sections, CDs separated from Vinyls and DVDs in between.
You'll find a vast collection of Rock/Pop/Metal/Jazz and Blues but also a great amount of classical recordings for a good deal.

This is the best record store in Portland, possibly the world.

I had a great time at their annual party. I commend the owners for being such a beloved asset to the community.

Music Millennium is the best place to find music of all flavors. Exceptional selection and knowledgeable staff. A Portland institution since 1969.

Really neat store with a huge selection too of CDs, Vinyl, movies and more. They sometimes host live music. Store is a little cramped and hard to navigate if busy, but it's worth it!!

Let me walk around with a Montucky and they had L.A.M.F. on vinal. Can't complain.

A lot of vinyls,cds, cassettes, and much more which makes it hard to find what exactly you're looking for. The staff are pretty quiet and don't ask if I need help or how i'm doing and i've went 3 times with every time having unfriendly staff. If you like exploring and searching for hours than this place is it otherwise you're better off calling and having them find it in stock for you at the store then going and picking it up.

Best selection of new releases. Lots of used vinyl. Very knowledgeable staff. Always something good playing. Just the best record store in all of Portland.

I wish there was a bigger selection of Electronic CDs, however I think a lot of Electronic artists don't make physical releases anymore because of streaming services so it's not a big deal.

Other than that, this place is awesome and if you like any kind of music, you should stop by.

A great place to just go and browse for new and used LPs, CDs and DVDs.

Great place to visit! Lots of neat items! Listen to music before you buy & tons of movies for decent prices.

Music Millennium is absolutely the best. I have been a customer since 1980..and have never been disappointed. If you are looking for something "special " or something that may need to be ordered, they do their best to find it. Their selection is mind blowing.

Friendly staff and a great collection of recognizable hits

Best vinyl at the best prices, always getting new stock and clerks are polite and helpful. This is the best record store in Portland

They have everything plus more!! Great choices for anything music. Very helpful. 50 years!!!

An amazing selection of music and a must visit when in Portland. Great selection of vinyl new and used. If you are an avid music collector definitely set aside some time to spend an afternoon here.

this place is a weird portal back in time... to the 90's mostly.

who buys cd's?! it's crazy how many cd's are here! literally room upon room and 2 floors!

luckily they have about 1.7 rooms worth of vinyl which is super awesome! there is a little section in the last cd room that is the discount mixed bag section. 1 to 3 dollar finds if you're willing to dig.

they are super nice and do groupons once in a while so keep your eye's peeled on there!

glad this place can stay in business. go support them!

Well-organized. Huge selection of not often represented genres. I didn't even make it through the whole store.

I have been going here for 30 years. The only draw back is the parking.

Unfortunately I am writing in a much angrier note today.I am very livid. My first experience here at your store was yesterday and to sum it up it was nothing short of wonderful. The selection was very wide, and I found more than copious amounts of music I enjoy. Today I decided to give it a second go due to the amount of enjoyment I had looking through the large collection of vinyls and collectible items. In total I've spent $287.91 on a total of 11 vinyls in the past two days. With more than clear intention to continue to spend more at your store. However today left me with an experience quite frustrating upon arriving to my home to get a listen at the treasures I've found. To shorten and make my frustrations much more concise; two of the vinyls I've purchased at what is considered to be full price of $30 and $36. I am frustrated due to the fact that the vinyls quality was so poor that my expensive record player's arm was practically jumping. My expensive needle is now slightly bent. Not to mention I reside across the bridge. It is a 30 minute trip for me when I would like to go to this store. I would've had a much different attitude over this transaction if I were given any indication that the vinyls being sold to me were bootlegs. I think this is poor business practice. Even though I am more than sure not all of the vinyls sold to me are fake; the credibility of this shop is now ruined with me and I will attempt to return all of them. I, personally as a small business owner cannot continue to support a business that operates under any single amount of dishonest/disreputable conditIons. I am a firm believer in good consumerism; I hope this review reaches someone in the idea of aiding this long-standing store in the future.

A great place to check out if you are a music buff!

Always awesome they have everything band in every genre.

Great customer service and selection. Staff super helpful

Amazing vibe and selection of beautiful music is second to none!

Great to have this long-time Portland icon benefiting from the new interest in vinyl. Be aware that there are not a lot of old cheap records, most of the vinyl is new pressings at new prices. Lots of inexpensive CDs and tapes in all genres.

Really awesome collection and the staff are super knowledgeable too.

I think we met the owner and he was so friendly and helpful. Must stop here if you are a music fan.

Awesome place. People that helped me KNEW THEIR STUFF! !

Great selection of tapes, vinyls, and CDs. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Great for old finds!

Great store. Excellent selection and good prices. I've found something to buy every time I've come. The staff is friendly and helpful as well, which is always a plus.

Best music store in all of Portland! Huge selection of new and used CDs, vinyl and DVDs. Cool and super friendly employees that know their music. I go here as often as possible.

Great selection. Have a list. It can be overwhelming if not ready. Take so.e time and browse the old fashioned way, in person.

Old school record store ..... awesomeness in the weird part of Portland

I've been shopping here for 15 years, this used to be my favorite store in Portland. Last time I was in the store, the store manager told me "People like you are the reason rent is going up thinking its fun to live in this city" blaming me for him not being able to pay his bills. Well guess what dude, its happening in every city. I'm not coming back in this store if I'm going to be treated like this. On average I spent $80 every visit to this store, well I guess I'll take my business to 2nd ave records and Everyday music.

One of the coolest places in Portland to go if you are into music! They have a huge selection of new and old albums.
Was there on a CD release day and the staff was really accommodating through the whole process, from placing a pre-order online, to keeping us excited while we waited for them to open, having a nice setup outdoor of inventory, and finally having multiple checkouts to make the process even smoother.
Met some fun customers and like-minded fans in line too!

This place looks like a dive , but once you enter it is a great record shop. I went in there for Santana and walked out with 3 more artists' CDs. They have special box sets, announce upcoming releases and are eager to help. Excellent place to lose millions and get lost.

Former shadow of what it used to be. Was looking for two Cds, one recent release, the other from a local band, neither; oh well.

Awesome selection of vinyl records. Friendly staff.

Portlands iconic music source. Its so much more than just a music store, its a national archive of all things that make the art of music great.

A world class record store, Terry and the crew rule, love what they do, and it shows. Much love

Best record store in the country!
Huge selection plus the owner is awesome.
Such a great place Bob Mould recorded a video here.
Do yourself a favor and check them out.

Love this store, staff, and layout. A Portland gem and last few of it's kind. No pets allowed, but that's understandable.

Great store! It's really nice going into a music store and just browsing around and trying to discover something new. Seems like nobody does this anymore, which makes me really happy this place is around!

It's been a favorite place of mine since the late 1970s and the place still rocks! This is a business that is dedicated to serious music lovers.

Great vinyl selection! The staff is very knowledgeable and patient.

Very comprehensive real, actual record store, (CDs and vinyl), that has just about everything new and used. Just wish they had more soul 45s. They gave me a map of independent record stores which was helpful.

Very knowledgeable staff and friendly af. 10/10 would buy more.

An important landmark in Portland's cultural music scene. Largest new music store in Oregon. 50 years and going!

Been shopping at Music Millennium since I was 16. I am now 63. My favorite hangout. Bought my first black light there.

Friendly and interesting place with an amazing atmosphere!

Great selection overall. Sold some items here, got a good price.

What an awesome store. Such a vast and killer selection of music! Didn't have the specific Album I was looking for, but I still walked out with some good music to play in my car!

This place had a TON of music, I spent about 2 hours browsing. Excellent stuff

Music millennium has been the best music store in Oregon for generations! A deep, deep collection of new and used from all the genres. (world beat, rock, electronic, jazz, classical, comedy) Vinyl, CDs, movies and toys. The most knowledgeable staff on the planet, and always something new and interesting. "At last I can really browse."

They always get my money. I always enjoy my visits.
