Always a great go to spot for records in Austin. Has a very nice small section of 78 rpm records that are well organized and reasonably priced.
Classic vinyl record shop. Pretty decent collection of used stuff, dont always have the popular albums because they mostly deal with used (rather than repress) and people dont get rid of the popular albums.
Wide variety of music, very helpful and friendly staff. Prices are fair.
Awesome record shop! Loved digging through the vinyl. Will definitely be going back for more
Love this store. Great prices, great records. However, one star down due to walking in and getting NO greeting from the girl sitting at the front doing nothing. People walked in after us and were warmly welcomed, though. I’ve worked in customer service for many years... it’s not hard to make your customers feel appreciated for coming into a business. Still will shop here, I just hope this feedback helps understand from a customers point of view
If you are looking for an old vinyl this is the place to find it. I love looking through the old rock vinyls here. You can look for hours and not even get half way though all that they have. The prices are really good too. My only complaints are the lack of a new vinyl section and parking.
A wide variety of western style outfit. A very friendly crew.
Austin Gem, great records, 8 tracks, cassettes, CDs. Blues, Texas Legends, and Jazz specialty. Bought two Freddie Fender records.
This is an Austin treasure run by people that love and play music. I cant say enough nice things about the staff. They have some of the best selections in blues, texas, rock, and local Austin bands. We need to support out local businesses. And they have a new website that makes it easy to order and because of Covid, they are offering pick-up.
Stumbled upon this place after lunch. Its on the smaller side but still had a ton of choices. I didnt get to spend as much time as Id like but there was a lot of diversity genre wise. I also really appreciated the locals section. Since Im just visiting I wanted to snag some local music to check out at home and the woman who helped me was really informative and friendly even though I caught her on her way out. I wish I remembered her name to give real props though. Glad I listened to her recommendation though the album is great!
Friendly, knowledgable staff and a good selection. The older guy who I assume runs the place really knows his stuff and helped me find the records I needed. Highly recommend for music lovers
Great record store with a great selection, if youre not looking for something in particular. I buy exclusively jazz albums and this isnt the place where you can find original pressings from some of the most well-known labels, but its a good spot to pick up a cheap record to try something new. That being said, Im continually surprised by the excellent selection and quality of 45s at really great prices.
Im a music nerd and this place is heaven. I went to a bunch of other record stores and all were really friendly, welcoming and knowledgable but here is where I found gems Id been looking for, for years - and at very, very reasonable prices. Is now one of my most favourite used record stores in the world.
Looks like the store has a great supply of Records old posters cassettes VHS and DVDs. I was not approached by anybody to see if I needed help I didnt really see what I was looking for in my own search.
My first visit and it was excellent! I needed more time to look through favorites...Ill be back! (I did get an awesome Antones shirt, I must add!)
Great variety of vintage records & cassette tapes even old 8 tracks & victrola records. It appears fairly well organized. Really nice guy working there. Very helpful & knowledgeable about store.
As a former record store owner, I highly recommend Antones. Its not mainstream, but it has an amazing selection of blues, jazz, local, hard-to-find, etc. A music afficiendos slice of the best this world has to offer.
Antones Record Store is fantastic. They have a good selection of vinyl and cassette discs. I highly recommend this place if you are into music.
One of my top 3 record stores in Austin. Very knowledgeable of product and great selections too.
Not quite as crazy expensive as Waterloo, but dont count on finding much interesting music or new stuff here. Really lacking on jazz, electronic, or classical stuff. If it doesnt involve a guitar youre probably not gonna find it here. If thats what youre into, youll probably be fine. This isnt some Mecca for music lovers. No AC, or at least not on when I go, so expect your records to have a few drops of sweat on em when you go to throw them on your turntable.
Focusing more on old country/blues and local Texas flavor, Antones still has a ton of great stuff in it. The prices are average to slightly high, but the selection is great if you like a lot of country and blues. I actually found a random Argentine tango LP there that was 2 bucks and fantastic. I also bought a Louis Prima LP. The rock section is like all the others - lots of chintzy 70s and 80s kitsch. The 45 section is well organized by artist and music type, making it easy to find a 45 you want to get. The whole store is superbly organized, more than most others. If they dont have it, you dont have to troll through the stacks looking for it. Youll know instantly. That helps a lot. Id definitely add this to my record-hunting rotation.
Decent selection knowledgeable staff
I ordered online on a Saturday and it was shipped on Monday. Clean, in good condition and at a great price. Thank you and I’ll be back. 5⭐️
Great service even if i am in Québec, Canada! CD at great prices and in excellent condition. 5 stars
Incredible selection of new and used vinyl. My favorite record store in Austin!! I always find something unique every time I go to Antone’s Record Shop!!
Took in a few boxes of old albums, some were acceptable and some not. He looked at all, gave us a fair price. I was very happy with my experience.
I love records. Went there I expend a lot time looking for what I want. The staff are willing to answer question for anything relate for what you looking for. Very clean, organize and good prices.
Got Aerosmiths Pump for 2.99, Rolling Stones Voodoo Lounge 2.99, and Alice In Chains Greatest hits .99c. Plus, the stoch has great old school mixed with select newbies. When Im having a bad day I stop in and check the racks. Antones Records gets me rockin and rolling again.
This place has been on my bucket list for so many years. Thanks Ray for showing me around. I bought some cool music! Peace, Roger Lyle, Needmore, PA.
The staff was super friendly, and the selection of vintage records just cant be beat. Glad yall are back open for business!!
Really personable owners who helped with my search of jazz records. A must visit for any vinyl lover when in Austin
Parking is a little tight (and very close to the street). Decent selection and prices, although the prices do reflect the higher rent for this area. Some nice collectibles, as well.
Super nice people, gotta keep supporting your local record shops before its too late!! They do in-store performances with free beer! Check it out
Im Really surprised that you guys haven’t done anything to innovate and renovate your vinyl shop. Theres lots of potential here, but if no one harnesses it, then what?
This place is like many other record stores except..the Rockabilly section is the best Ive found anywhere in the world! I dig it!
Pretty good selection of local, country, jazz, blues and classical. Barely any hip-hop or electronic. Employees are really nice.
Found a few gems. Pretty good selection of used vinyl.
Best place to come for original records (not repackaged reissues) and Texas music. Parking can turn into a hassle, but that shouldnt stop you from coming in and enjoying this gem.
I visit antones every time that Im in Austin. They have a unique selection and theyre located in the heart of town. I enjoy vintage shopping in the area.
Very cool if you know your Texan music, but I dont (sorry!). Still really nice vibe and well arranged.
Mostly Vinyls..less cd..great Blues collection on Vinyl
Antones is one of Austins oldest establishments, and one of its best. Lots of records to peruse and they have a lot of great and usually free live shows.
Awesome shop. Definitely a must stop destination. It is an extra plus that they have 78 rpm records.
How are they still in business. The place has the ambiance of a public bathroom. High prices and the worst selection in town. I personally own a greater selection than they have.
Very courteous. Awesome service. Will visit again.
Ive bought a few used CDs there out of their good selection. What I really enjoy is their in-store performances.
Found so many great albums to choose from.
I love this little shop. They have all the oldies. Even artist I have to heard of who Ive fallen in love with
Very friendly, cool, helpful staff. Occasionally has in store shows. Mostly vinyl.
Meh...pretty poor selection and probably not worth ths effort unless you are looking for a unicorn and there is an off chance that theyll have it. Surprised they are still there with all the developments
Theres a great variety here. Good discounted vinyl. Love Antones!
Good place to find old rock and roll albums and classical music. Good variety of music.
This has been the only place Ive been to that said yes to a question Ive been asking for over ten years: do you have any Joan Jett? You want it sooner or later theyll have it. Rock on!
Good selection. Fair prices. Every record I tested was in pristine condition.
Large selection of great used vinyls at honest prices.
Very cool place. Never been before last Sunday, but do plan to go soon again.
Would give zero stars if possible, almost no rap or hip hop unless maybe on vinyl? Wasn’t looking for that though!
Excellent old school record store with helpful staff and reasonable prices
Cool store. Nice selection of LPs.
Fantastic and helpful staff and a selection you wont find at other stores.
Small locale...but i like the laid back staff and nice range of CDs and records
Very rude employee or owner, don’t know who the gentleman was. Don’t think we will ever be back!
Staff is incredibly knowledgable and helped me find exactly what I was looking for and offered suggestions to what I was not. Great place.
Excellent music and service. The Tailgators were very good today
Cool staff, great atmosphere, wide selection, quick ordering. An Austin staple for a reason.

Great place

Without a doubt, Antones Records is THE blues shop in Austin, Texas for decades. Huge choice of CDs and LPs. Eve Monsees (an excellent young blues guitarist, who plays in a band in Austin) at the counter, will give you some great advice ... she knows what shes talking about! Many live sets in a corner of the shop. In the past, Clifford Antones former club, the famous Antones club, was right in front of the record shop.
Excellent place to buy vinyl

2021-12-15Cheap CDs, great record selection, very friendly and helpful employees. Lots to love here. Continues to be a true Austin gem even after so much has changed in our fair city. Still run as a small town high quality record shop. Much respect.

2022-06-13Got 2 cds from here. Not a huge selection of hiphop/rap cds or vinyls but definitely worth visiting if you like collecting music.

2022-08-02What an amazing record store!I visited twice while in Austin for a week. On the first visit the staff engaged as soon as i entered the shop and then i ended up in a 15 minute conversation about psych music without anyone trying to sell me anything.Trust me, these people are enthusiasts!On the second visit i met the owner. I asked for some recommendations and he took 30 minutes out of his day to enthusiastically play me some killer garage rock singles.He also did me a deal on my purchases.How i wish this place was my local store!

2022-07-30An Austin standard, a record store for ppl who really know their music. Any place, esp this size, with several James Booker records, somebody there knows their music. Pretty unique selection of obviously Texas and Austin-centric music, but also reaching into the bayous and New Orleans very effectively, good smattering of new and old vinyl, old 45s and even a selection of 78s. If youre an affectionado this is the kind of place you could spend hours mining their selection. The kind of place you kind of have to cut yourself off after a while or it could just get away from you and get expensive. Hard to find a record store this good anymore

2020-01-07Glad I found this place during my stay in Austin, TX. What a range .... from Jazz to 78ers to Pop you can not leave without finding a record you are looking for for ages. Nice chat with the owner - very friendly, competent and humble but also fast and save with an advice in any genre. Thank you for your business. Will sure come back .... when / if Ill visit Austin again.

2022-04-23Excellent place to buy music, unmatched selection of Texas artists, blues, jazz, rock and country CDs and records. Very knowledgeable staff, many of whom are also local musicians.

2022-04-01They sell ancient tech called “Vinyl” Most Sundays all the businesses on 29th and Guad throw a shin dig with DJs and outdoor shopping. I’d check it out at least once.

2021-02-28Found this little gem while out and about and was pleasantly surprised at the amount of inventory and variety they have for sale. Awesome staff and great selections on a wide range of genres. The one thing I personally like is there are many many labels of bands in the toes of records. This makes it easy to locate a specific band and I found 4 albums with ease. Ill be back for sure .....cool place.
