Such a chill ambience with the vintage feel and amazing coffee! Best iced latte I have had in years. Vinyl records for sale and playing music in the background to create good vibes.

Best record store ever : every genre, and beer right downstairs. Added bonus of parties in the evenings !

This is one of Cork's best kept secrets and I'm even reluctant to write this review so as to keep it that way. Coffee and Cakes are consistently superb and of the finest kind. But the real treasure is the music and vibes. An unusual record store of the 33 & a 1/3 vinyl variety. You can even make requests from the wide variety of genres if you're serious about buying the disc. I'd give 7-stars if an option (for the Pleiades aka 7-sisters).

Easily my favourite Record Shop in the country ; exceptional customer service, warm, friendly & helpful staff, eclectic selection of stock catering to many differing music tastes. Great selection of local & national artists work also & the finest hub in Cork City for local Art & cutting edge live music. A+++++++++++++++++++

Quality better than quantity. Good selection of records, full of surprises. Another monthly stop in Cork city at the beggining of each month (paydays).

Cool coffee + record shop. Go for the Stone Valley Roasters coffee, stay for the vibe.

New favorite coffee shop in Cork. Good coffee, great staff, and excellent music (though I don't know what it was ... give us the playlist and cross-merchandise you know?).

On the surface a straightforward minimalist cafe/record store. In reality the guy who runs it is an institution on the cork music scene. The cafe is very classy, the menu is simple but good quality. Music is great. If you don't like this place go to Starbucks.

great place to buy records either online or in the store

Lovely place, good selection of records and a very friendly owner.

Lovely place & people, great coffee & records on sale. A definite stop when visiting Cork city.

Lovely spot, great selection of records, good coffee

Superb service with the nicest, most knowledgable staff in the game. Every town should have a Plugd.

Amazing spot. Really cool selection of records, great coffee, atmosphere and super friendly staff. Highly recommended!

I’ve been buying music in Plugd for close to 15 years at this point. Jim is always in touch with his customers’ tastes while also presenting his own bizarre take on music. This combined with a consistently high quality control makes Plugd a unique record shop in Ireland.

Great record shop with a wonderfully esoteric selection of records...staff know their stuff and have recommended some killer music to me over the years...also a great place to hear about the latest gigs ... Cork is lucky to have Plugd:)

Plugd is not just an excellent record store where you'll find hiddens gems and classics releases but the main driving force of good independent forward thinking music in Cork. If you want to go find out what's good in Cork go to Plugd. Jim runs the must open and friendly store in the country hes got killer taste in electronic, experimental and world msuic.

Have had nothing but excellent experiences with plugd! Really grateful to have such a space in Cork, Jim goes over and above to help with finding whatever music you're looking for, and is super knowledgeable and open to discussing music. It's been a real cultural backbone in the Cork arts scene, couldn't recommend more.

The best record shop in the best town. Great eclectic music selection, great vibe. The lads always have time to chat about new releases and gigs. Some of the best live music in Cork happens in that little space too.

Lazy…. No interest in selling anything I asked for. I think all interest is now in coffee. Shame I gave a list and no response. I heard he was the best for certain genre. Don’t see it. Maybe coffee is more valuable.

Great music selection, a chill ambience, and coffee made by a friendly barista with an eye for detail.

Such a cool shop with a wide selection of vinyls for great prices

Not just a record shop but one of the most important spaces in Cork over the years. Has sent me down different musical paths umpteen times and has succeeded in completely broadening my tastes, always something interesting in the bag when leaving the shop. Knowledgeable staff, independent gigs and events and esoteric stock along with things you have been meaning to pick up - cant beat it.

Really nice spot in Cork city. Great vinyl selection and a pleasant atmosphere.
