Fantastic treasure trove of a record shop in the heart of Belfast City Centre - Jeff, the owner, is an absolute gent and VERY knowledgeable. More than willing to go the extra mile with queries and requests and always more than generous. The wide selection of music on display is a credit to them. The best record shop in Ireland in my honest opinion and you're guaranteed a laugh if Johnny's working....

Easily the best record shop in Belfast. If you love vinyl, this is the place to go. A superb selection of psych, new releases, garage, jazz, indie, punk, experimental, everything! And all at extremely great prices too. Owner Jeff is extremely knowledgeable as well and will help you find what you are looking for or suggest a new earworm for you. Once you've been, it will be a new regular for you to pick up that record you've been wanting!!

Wee treasure in the Heart of Belfast, and in its fifteenth Year I believe ! fair play to Jeff. He gave me a great price on some old Jazz Records. Really decent rates, and with such a brilliant wide ranging selection of Vinyl, both new and second hand, I ended up leaving with more than I came in with. Smiles. Really interesting selection of Art Prints, Tshirts and Bags... and every single Band Pin you care to imagine. Thoroughly recommended if your a Music freak like me.

A veritable cache of fabulous riches are contained within the vaults of Dragon Records. Currently housing an unparalleled collection of Two Tone curios, amongst many other (lesser) genres of music. Mind you, I am doing my best to singlehandedly remove them from the shop (this is not an admission of a crime - I refer simply to all my recent purchases). While your wallet may be lighter when you leave, it will only be slightly lighter, due to the competitive pricing within this emporium - no tariffs here, so take the opportunity to make your record collection great again. Besides, your step will also be lighter having enjoyed the company of Jeff, a modern day philosopher, with no equal. Visit it quickly before you miss out on one of your Most Wanted holy grails.
