On my visit to Austin I had to stop here and it did not disappoint. Went to grab a logo shirt and a couple of postcards. Spent an hour looking. If there's anything associated to music, chances are they'll have it!

Great selections of records and other novelty items. They have record players for sale of different kinds from vintage to modern. Well labeled and organized shelves. From Hamilton to rare soul. And so much more. Plenty of parking and conveniently located near Whole Foods...Read More

I was on the hunt for some vinyls and came across Waterloo. I love the way the store is arranged and set up. Everything is by genre and has its own section. The store looks pretty cool as whole. I didn’t find what I was...Read More

Waterloo Records is arguably the beating heart of Austin. It has been around forever and weathered all the recording industry changes. It is in these hollowed halls that you can find any obscure vinyl or even cassette or cd that you are looking for. The...Read More

Today felt like a scene from the 1995 cult classic Empire Records, a coming-of-age comedy-drama directed by Allan Moyle. The film follows a group of record store employees over an extraordinary day. Today, I was the star. Opening scene ... Marcie enters the store. My adventure...Read More

This is a cool record store, with a good collection of curated vinyl. There's a lot of independent music here which is consistent with my values as a subversive. Yes, records are 26 dollars or more now, that is just the fact of life. This...Read More

Good music choices and amazing environment for people with similar interests. Its a hunt for your taste in music but you never feel at a loss if someone grabs what you want because the interactions and people you meet make up for it.

One of the coolest record shops I've visited in my travels. Was able to grab some cool stuff. Staff is very knowledge and the staff picks section has a lot of really niche and deep cuts. If you are a collector of physical media. This...Read More

This is A great place to browse for unusual and hard to find items. There are old and new vinyl LPs and 45s plus older cassette tapes if you are feeling retro. I'm glad they will be moving locations to a newer and larger store...Read More

Came looking for Spanish / Latin American music LPs and found more than a few great records. Their selection is mainly new. Didn’t see much used, which I was bummed about. Magic Isle had an incredible used selection though and it’s only 3 min away...Read More

HUGE selection of vinyl records, every time I visit I always find an album I’ve been searching for. They offer live events and always get exclusive copies from artists. They are probably the reason why I have an addiction to vinyl records!

WOW! What an incredible FIRST experience I had at Waterloo! They went above and beyond to ensure I secured copy of a hard-to-find record on its release day. Couldn't have been more thrilled at my first visit to the store - endless amounts of inventory...Read More
