Drinks Records

Drinks Records gives an East Austin evening a record-shopping option. The store operates inside Drinks Lounge, with new and used vinyl, listening events and performances alongside the bar. Its schedule is the key planning detail: the bar opens on days and at times when the record shop does not. Browse the store’s catalogue and event notices as separate pieces of information rather than assuming a late bar closing means uninterrupted retail access. BLK Vinyl can fit the same east-side outing, but start with the opening windows before deciding which stop comes first.

New and used vinyl across contemporary rock, indie, hip-hop and other releases. The used-vinyl section and performance listings serve different purposes; an event announcement does not indicate stock.

Drinks buys records for cash or gift cards usable at the store or bar. Records need their original covers and should be free of deep scratches, dirt and mould.

Inside Drinks Lounge at 2001 East Cesar Chavez Street. Use the record shop’s hours rather than the lounge’s; the two schedules are explicitly different on the official site.

Check age restrictions on the relevant event and ask about retail access if bringing younger shoppers. This is a shop within a bar, so the plan needs more than a closing time.
