Pop & Hiss
215 Forest Ave., Pacific Grove
If you place a bottle on a vinyl turntable, does it still count as playing spin the bottle? You can’t really kiss someone if the bottle never stops though – then again, you shouldn’t treat vinyl like that, either. Even though records got scratched, warped and perhaps misused, there is something enduring about the medium. Fortunately, there are those who continue to stock old (and now new) vinyl records. And readers say that Pop & Hiss is the best place to find them. When you walk in, you can’t help but make the chef’s kiss gesture at their curated selection. Plus you can grab a beer or even a cocktail while you dig through their infamous bargain bin for that hidden gem you’ve been looking for. Mwah.
