Pickin’ and Grinnin’ in the Gulch
If you’re wandering through the legendary Brewery Gulch, you haven’t truly arrived until you’ve stepped into Bitchin’ Pickins Bisbee. This isn’t just a shop; it’s a high-desert treasure chest where “vintage” is a lifestyle and every item has a backstory.
From “dandy duds” and fabulous frocks for the annual Bisbee Pirate Weekend to mid-century collectibles, home goods, and sparkling burlesque-ready attire, the inventory is curated with a bold, eclectic eye.
They restock almost daily, making it a favorite for “pickers” who know that today’s rare find—whether it’s vintage jewelry or a classic rock artifact—won’t be there tomorrow.
Whether you’re looking for a new outfit or just a hit of vintage inspiration, Bitchin’ Pickins is the ultimate Bisbee stop to “relish the strange”.
Essential Logistics:
- Location: 12 Brewery Gulch, Bisbee, AZ. It’s tucked just off the main drag, surrounded by some of the town’s most iconic bars and music venues.
- Hours: Generally open Friday – Sunday, 10:30 AM – 5:00 PM. Hours can be “flexible” (aka “Bisbee Time”), so it’s best to swing by during the peak afternoon hours of the weekend.
- Walkability: Because it’s in the Gulch, it is best accessed on foot while exploring Old Bisbee.
- Dust & Rust: Wear clothes you don’t mind getting a little dusty—this is an active picking shop where you’ll be digging through crates and moving old metal.
- Small Footprint: The interior is tight and packed floor-to-ceiling; leave large backpacks at the hotel so you don’t accidentally knock over a vintage lamp.
- Cash Friendly: While they can usually process cards, small-town negotiations often go smoother with cash in hand.
