I would leave zero stars if I could. The gentleman in the store, who I'm presuming is the owner, Matthew, ignored my presence when I first walked into his store, further ignoring me when I tried to initiate the welcome w a simple hello. Radio silence. I was confused, but proceeded to browse the store anyway. After about 20 minutes of shopping while feeling silent judgement and side eyes, I had picked out a total of four or five things from both the front and back rooms that I thought were cute and wanted to try on.
After trying to get the owner's attention again to ask about fitting rooms, he actually acknowledged me this time, but very immediately aggressive, stating the fitting rooms were for trying on clothes that HE thought would fit me, not what clothes I picked out for my own body. I was shocked. I didn't asked for his opinion on my body size, what size to pick out, or his comparison of my curvy body to his "size 32". Matthew then went on to completely berate me for several minutes, straight up bodyshaming me. He said I should have picked out 2x (wear a large/10 in conventional stores), questioned my ability to pay, and honestly made me the most uncomfortable I have EVER been during a shopping experience. It was appalling to be so mistreated by this stranger who is hiding behind his dusty, dank storeroom.
I will obviously never give him my money, and hope that this review saves someone some unnecessary judgemental bull**** that he clearly dishes out on the regular. Save your money for a kind human being who deserves your time, attention and welcomes your business into their establishment, shame and judgement free.

I finally made my pilgrimage to Bedlam today and it was worth the 6 hours I drove there and back. The owner, Mathew, is very knowledgeable about the clothes he sells. I went in on tuesday, which he says is slowest, and he took me through almost everything in the strore and let me try it all on
while we talked music. It was truly an experience but here's my advice, walk in and talk to him directly before you look around. He will help you find what you are looking for but know that he knows his stuff. People say they "dress goth" but he knows that there's a style difference between goth, industrial, cyber goth, cyber punk, corporate goth, bondage, the list goes on. Ask Mathew for help and tell him what you like for fashion and he will guide you. He's honest to a fault so you can trust he's not trying to sell you just anything off the rack, he wants you to look good and feel comfortable

What a great experience I had at Bedlam. The owner was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about his stock. He asked some good questions then guided me through his store. I was able to find exactly what I was looking for. He also gave me polite and helpful feedback on the items I tried on. I will definitely go back. Bedlam is a gem!

I went to this store not that long ago with my mom, planning on spending my $300 dollars leftover from my birthday money on some goth clothes, as I love goth fashion and the music. Please note that I had just come from school before I went to the store, so I was wearing just some grey sweatpants and a hoodie; not the ideal thing I would’ve normally worn. When I got to the store, the owner started off our interaction by aggressively telling us to wait outside because he just got to the store himself, and proceeded to lock the door. I also need to mention the fact that he was already 30 minutes past the time that they were supposed to open. So I say okay understandingly, and around 10 minutes later he lets us in. I start looking around at the clothes and I liked some of it. There was one velvet top in particular that I liked very much, and I thought it might fit me too. So after a few minutes of looking around, I ask Matthew a question. Don’t remember what it was, I just remember him telling me that judging from what I was wearing, I would want to look in the other room because those clothes are “more alternative” and “my style”. So feeling slightly weirded out that he said that, I went in the other room where my mom was looking. At that point I didn’t want to spend my money on this place, but I decided to just let my mom look and see if she liked anything. I planned on buying her something for her birthday if she finds something she likes. She saw how visibly uncomfortable I was and asked if I was okay. I just said yes, and we went back to the other room with the clothes I was looking at in the beginning. Then a conversation starts with Matthew a few moments later. I show him the top I liked, asking him a question about it. He then proceeds to say that it probably won’t fit me. He looks me up and down while I’m wearing BAGGY CLOTHES, looks at my mom who is on the heavier side, (keep in mind we have two COMPLETE different body types), then back at my body and says “you’d need a 3XL”. I had never felt so uncomfortable and upset in a store while looking for clothes. Throughout the rest of the time there, I ended up finding a few things I liked but the entire time he kept being very rude. Right at the end, I pulled out my money to pay for everything and his entire attitude towards me changed. He started acting all nice and smiling while talking about things once he saw the cash. In the end, I bought the clothes and went home. I truly regret spending ANY money on his store, and I think it was a waste of time going there. I won’t be going back. F.Y.I, the top I liked did in fact fit on me in the end, so no Matthew, I did not need a 3XL ?.

Owner was amazing and super helpful. The store itself is a hidden gem, and is a 2000s alternative person's dream! The vintage section has everything you're looking for and has great deals. I got a beautiful new skirt from here. (Photo from a resteraunt bathroom lol) Also...this store has Tripp NYC pants! Beautiful shop, highly recommend!

I went a couple weeks ago and bought a good deal. On every outfit the owner graciously helped mix and match with me I have received more compliments than I have normally in my life. Several people asked where I got it from and referred them to here.

Absolutely wonderful experience in this store! The owner is extremely knowledgeable in goth fashion and is willing to help you find a piece that will look great on you. Vast array of styles and vintage pieces. Everything is high quality and worth the price. So glad I came in!
