World-class shop for fans of freaky, weird, 90’s culture, toys, dogs and alternative music.
A Logan Square staple, a perfect mix of every childhood nostalgic memory crafted in a beautifully artistic little shop - vinyls, toys, nostalgia from the past, all at decent prices. Friendly, chill staff & the perfect space if you can catch a show
Great variety of classic media and curious toys/trinkets. Friendly staff thats always on the lookout for interesting additions.
If you looking for vinyl and cassette and other vintage toys this is the place
Great shop, with super friendly owners that are involved in making positive change in the local community. Excellent record and cassette selection (lots of garage rock and punk, but a good variety of genres are represented), nostalgic toys, and fair prices. During non-COVID times, they would have shows in the shop, and theres a cute corgi thats sometimes there.I ordered a couple of records from them, and one of the owners came to my apartment to drop them off. Incredible service.
Great selection of cassette tapes and vinyl records
I used to live a 2 minute walk from here when I lived in Logan, and still remains one of my favorite spots in Chicago. Amazing selection of new and old (Shout outs to find Glenn Branca and Texas Punk), and I love the shop corgi. Love from Tokyo!!
Cool little records store. They have everything from older unique finds to new mainstream music. Very friendly and approachable. Enjoy coming up when we get the chance.
A wonderful store, and good people. Im part of an old/rare film preservation group, and they donated a huge lot of VHS tapes to our organization for free.
Great assortment of indie records, classic singles, obscure cassettes. Incredible rotating stock of retro (80s and 90s) toys. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Touring acts frequently play intimate sets. This store is a real gem!
I would say bric a brac is very similar to burger records. They have a variety of vinyl and cassettes, but cassettes from modern bands. Really like the 90s retro layout and novelties.Plus sometimes a corgi dog roams around the store. Who does not want to be there? :)
Amazing place! I always had the urge to go see it myself and I did today and I loved it. Their corgi was super cute and nice. The guys who works there seem to love their job. My next job !I love it 10/5
Im addicted to niche shops like this with collectibles and relics of past decades. I bought a few Star Wars action figures to display in my home. Solid, small record collection that highlights local players. Definitely worth a visit while walking in Logan Square.
This eclecticly stocked collectibles record shop is priced affordably, staffed by friendly and knowledgeable husband-wife super team Nick & Jen, who also happen to be the coolest peeps on the planet. They are active in the music and collectibles scene, as well as in the community their shop resides in & the city of Chicago. I always find 50 items I MUST have, whether it be wrestling figures, cult VHS tapes, dope vinyl (new&vintage), He-Man toys or posters & stickers! Books and magazines! They got it all!!!! Live music some days! Must stop and shop here!!!! NOW !!!!
Great place to meet people and experience nostalgia. They have bands playing regularly. And unique records.
Great store. Chicago needs more like this
Great cute little shop to visit. Has interesting old VHSs and Records. Adorable old nic-nacs as well.
THIS IS AN OASIS. The owner sold me a VCR from his private stock when mine died on tour. Good source of new indie music on cassette and vinyl.
I enjoy this record store. Condition of records is pretty good in general. Selection is not that good in my opinion. I still enjoy going from time to time.
A record store.... but to me its a Toy store that sells records....they got all the toys mom threw out, a wide selection of toys both open and carded. Ive bought Masters of the Universe toys, Street sharks, and my most recent purchase was Krang in the Android suit. A lot more stuff definitely a must stop!
So dope. Their record selection and the memorabilia theyve got in the store made me nostalgic and is definitely worth checking out if you find yourself in the Logan Square area!
Has a lot of cool stuff in it. Free Simpsons arcade game which is even cooler
One of my favorite shops in Chicago. The owners are amazing people and buyers. Excellent prices! Great record selection as well! One of my fave record and toy shops combined into one. Great selection of cassettes and VHS! Great decoration. GREAT GREAT GREAT. Cutest corgi award. Plus, live music! I get so excited walking in, like an 8 year old walking into Toys R Us on their birthday. Thank you bric a brac!
This place is a gem. Logan Square should feel lucky and privileged to have them here
Bought a few things from here. Space is a bit small but they have awesome toys from back in the day. Very nostalgic.
Awesome shop, one of the recommendations to me by kapow collectibles. Very unique place with toys and records. make the geek list!
Awesome place for 80s discontinued toys, cards, music tapes, records, buttons, pins and patches. A must go if youre looking for gifts to your as-strange-as-you friends. Also, the owner is a great guy!
One of my favorite places in Chicago. The two owners are extremely friendly and passionate about their store. They always have amazing local bands playing which is pretty awesome because theres always usually Dimos pizza haha. The environment is amazing and evokes a great sense of nostalgia as you check out the walls filled with 90s memorabilia. The record selection is awesome, and there is always just something cool to see in this store. A real gem! Did I mention theres a Corgi roaming around the store?!
This store is freaking cool. Lots of toys, tapes, records and a real rock and roll feel. Thanks for playing live shows !!!!!!
Absolutely amazing vintage toys and records....even cassettes, 8 tracks, and VHS tapes. If you were a child growing up in the 1980s, this place will take you back
Bric a brac is not just a ‘good record store’. It is the BEST record store to ever exist.
I totally love this place. I love the selection of stuff they have to offer. They had a nice collection of heman toys and tons of vintage stuff. I can easily spend my paycheck here so i guess its a good thing for me i was broke at the time. The staff was very nice and knowledgeable about their stuff. The most awesome thing of all of they have a Simpsons arcade game available for free play!!! How awesome is that!! Its totally awesome i just didnt play cause inwas broke and wasnt spending and money that day. So ill get to play some day. Im totally trying to spend my money here so I have to frequent in order to score! But I look forward to it. Oh and the prices were super reasonable.
Always find something Im not looking for. Vintage records are my favorite
We were looking for some records by local artists that fit with wanting to listen to Bikini Kill. Not only did they have a good selection of cheap, used and new records, but they were able to help us. This place has free shows pretty often on the side stage. There is a big collection of eighties memorabilia, so if youre looking for some ninja turtles, this is the place to go. Also, they have the TMNT arcade game on free play in the back
Such a fun place to go when in the city. Has a diverse selection of records
Really cute store with a well curated selection
Great place for all your record, movies and toy needs.
Open back up soon!
One time I took acid and played their free Simpsons arcade game for two hours straight and nobody bothered me. Great place.
A+ customer service from Dandelo. Hes an excellent manager, with impressive music knowledge and a great attitude.
Kitchy stoner vibes. Too expensive for me, especially the cassettes. They have in store shows which can be fun
The employees were very nice and there was a good collection of reasonably priced records.
Cool spot for modern, local, and obscure records. Plus all the 80/90s merchandise you will ever need
The owner Nick is a really nice guy. This store has a lot of vintage and rare rock/soul/blues vinyl records & tapes. Also, if you are into 80s toys- its a wonderland! #HeMan #Slimer #GhostBusters #StarWars
This place was very charming. any and every toy or knick knack from the childhood of the 80s and a great selection of vinyl and cassettes. when we were there i even looked it up to check in and realized that they had closed 10 minutes ago and were just staying open for the two of us lingering around the shop. now thats customer service!good work bric-a-brac! youve won me as a returnee. not to mention their sinage on the door is amazing. keep it real
Amazing selection of hard to find rare nostalgia. Records and collectables
Great selection. Great prices.
Lovely joint. Lots and lots to dig through.
Really unique stuff here aimed at kids of the 80s and 90s. A bit on the expensive side but thats to be expected for a specialty shop.
Every 80s childs dream...vintage toys that will bring you down memory lane. Highly recommended if you are in the area!
Come for the rad toys and massive rush of nostalgia, leave because the employees are always rude.
A hidden gem of my childhood, if you are looking for something that you cant find somewhere else they will most likely have what you need.
Great shows, awesome knick knacks.
Good selection of vinyl.
Okay selection, but I prefer Logan Hardware
Interesting collectables, groovy vibes
Reasonably priced audio recordings
The coolest record and collectible shop in Chicago
They have the antique star wars action figures 😩😍 everything a comic book fan or tv fan could ever want plus a large collection of vinyls
Fun place with great staff
Theres nowhere else quite like it!
Not very friendly. Not much in stock.
Great store!
Bric-a-Brac rules.
Memory lane. All the time.
Fun shop. Lots of records, movies, figures and other random stuff
