High Tide Rock Bottom

This store has been CLOSED for over 2 yrs. more

High Tide-Rock Bottom is an excellent non-chain type of store stocking a ton of items from lava lamps to greeting cards. They are also a key place to find just the right posters to decorate a dorm room or casual home. High Tide has a very eclectic selection of merchandise. It’s one of a few stores that have defined the Coventry community and the store has been in operation for many years. You can find gift items here that cannot be found in big box stores. It’s fun to visit the store just to see who’s hanging out there and the new items they have in their window displays! Parking in Coventry can be tough. Check out the city lot in the rear of the commercial center. more

We went to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for a afternoon of fun. The hall of fame was much smaller than we expected. In fact we did the whole hall of fame in about 1 hour. Also, it was expensive to get into the hall of fame. Because of the size, the expense, and the fact that there is just not that much to see there, we do not recommend the hall of fame. more

This is one of those stores that defines the recent developments in downtown Coventry: it tries really hard to be trendy and it almost succeeds. There's history here: the store is thirty-two years old; it's always been "alternative"; but in the nineties "alternative" became "sellout". (The bumper stickers have gotten more expensive.) But enough about how the store feels. It's a friendly environment. As for the selection of gifts and jewelry and cards and things, it's unparalleled in Coventry. You will find cute, vaguely folksy things here, and you will like it. Coventry isn't very big, and High Tide/Rock Bottom has always stood out with its trademark striped awnings. It's hard to miss this place, and you certainly shouldn't if you're in the area. You might find something for someone you like. more
