I just got home from Sweets & Beats and I already want to go back for more candy and vinyl.
This place is a small shop specializing in music and old school candy. They are nestled between The Trunk Space and The Bikini Lounge.
I found lots of great records ranging from Talking Heads, various ska bands and a Rudy Ray Moore album. Good selection of yummy candy like squirrel nut zippers (a chewy, nutty candy), lemon heads, cherry heads, bubble gum cigrars and cigarettes. They also have a selection of books, t-shirts and novelty items.
Definitely check Sweets & Beats out. It’s a great addition to the downtown area and it’s owned by two wonderful people.
Cash only here folks, so bring the green. Everything is pretty cheap, so you can walk out with a bag of candy under $3.
Sweets & Beats is located at 1504 NW Grand Ave — 602.253.9258
The DPJ Yelper of the Week offers honest insight on a Downtown business to help you explore your core. DPJ hopes that by partnering with Yelp to spread the good word about well-loved Downtown spots, you’ll spread your patronage and support local business.
Yelp is a social networking and local search engine that provides the reviews of places and things that matter to you. Simply log in, pick a place and queue up your inner critic. You can write a beaming review of your favorite gelato spot, or a scathing portrayal of that rental car facility you had to use after that curb came out of nowhere. Yelp’s reviews are at once honest, uncensored, wildly hilarious and true. Heck, the site must be doing something right — it had 26 million viewers just last month!
