Big Henry’s is where the record browse meets the club door. It occupies the retail and box-office space at Antone’s Nightclub, with original blues, funk and soul records alongside new pressings and venue merchandise. For someone already headed to a show, the connection is immediate: records and the night’s music share an address. It is still a distinct stop from Antone’s Record Shop on Guadalupe. The downtown space is especially relevant when the shopping list follows the blues and soul lineage associated with the club, rather than a general hunt across every genre.
What you will find
Vintage blues, funk and soul vinyl, selected new records, Antone’s apparel, posters and gifts. The online shop also presents international records through its sister-store selection; verify where a specific item can be collected.
Genre strengths: Blues, Soul, Funk
Getting there
305 East Fifth Street, at Antone’s Nightclub. The separately operated Antone’s Record Shop is several neighbourhoods north on Guadalupe, not another room in this building.
Local tips
If combining shopping with a concert, confirm retail access and hours before the show. The box-office connection makes the pairing logical, but it does not guarantee every record remains browsable throughout an event.
