Retro rules the day at this landmark used record shop on St-Denis Street. The window display is promising enough, with its collage of 1960s and '70s icons and, most impressively, a mint-condition Robie Jr robot. Inside you will find an awesome collection of more than 15,000 CD and vinyl titles, a knowledgeable staff and innumerable kitschy artifacts. Specialties include soul and techno, but Beatnick really impresses with its unpredictable stock of nostalgic French-language oddities. It is popular among serious collectors and DJs, so dabblers be warned: it isn't cheap. Only cash is accepted.
