A good San Antonio stop if you want records plus music-adjacent stuff around them. Better fit for a varied browse than a strictly new-vinyl-only trip.
One of the most important long-running record stores in San Antonio. Best fit if you want a shop with real local history and stronger Tejano, Conjunto, and Latin roots than a typical generalist store.
A good Beacon Hill option if you want an independent neighborhood record store with a straightforward vinyl focus and a less overwhelming feel than a giant shop.
A solid central San Antonio option if you want a smaller independent shop in the King William area with a broad vinyl mix and a true local-store feel.
One of the core San Antonio record stores and a good place to start if you want a broad browse. Best fit for people who want a long-running generalist shop rather than a tiny niche specialist.
A good Southtown option if you want a newer-style vinyl shop in a lively neighborhood setting. Best fit for a casual browse and newer records rather than deep dusty-bin digging.
