The Flip Side

One of my favorite spots in Dubai. The Flipside offers a thoughtfully curated selection of records covering a range of genres. Great ambience and solid customer service. Love the events I’ve attended here too!

Nice shop with a lot of records, record players available to listen any used records before buying them. Friendly staff. Records were a bit pricey but in general a good experience.

I was very glad that I could visit this excellent store during my last trip to Dubai. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking at buying records, CDs or associated accessories. There is quite an excellent selection of vinyl albums. The store is beautifully decorated and the ambience is nothing short of excellent. They have some excellent music playing too. The owner Mr. Shaadi is very friendly and helpful. I look forward to going there again whenever I travel to Dubai next.

It is a really nice place, ver authentic. I found lots of dub and funk 45s, some Japanese editions, more focused on electronic music, but there also some jazz, blues and rick and roll records. I really enjoyed it and it is a must if you are passing by Dubai.

Such a cozy nice vinyl shop.

The first real record store in the UAE. Nice selection of 'World' music on LP, besides all other popular genres. You can also place special orders for records with them and they will try to import it with their orders for you. The place is massive in terms of space and regularly doubles up as an event space hosting DJs and musicians.

My Go to place for classics, always a solid range of records, very curated in the middle of Alserkal Ave. You will rarely leave the store empty handed. You can listen to them and this great feeling of analogue music pleasure has been kept alive. Great job.

Best find in Dubai. Happy to purchase and listen to some great English and Arabic vinyls. Hope they open in Saudi soon!
