There was plenty of room inside and outside to study or hangout with friends. Parking is very accessible with lots of parking in the front and side. So if you even wanted to host a club meetup, this place is great for that! They have cool drinks such as the Strawberry Fields Matcha which is my favorite and a Nutella Latte. What's even more exciting is their self serving cereal bar! You just grab a bowl and pick whichever cereal you want and enjoy it at your seat. Another bonus is their hidden antique store where you can shop for diverse items while hanging out. Overall, i'd come back to this place over and over again!

It has a…read morequiet, library-esque atmosphere when you walk in, but the friendly owners are always happy to chat about their stock or the latest movies in theaters. While the selection of books and movies is on the smaller side and leans more toward vintage finds than brand-new releases, we always leave with something great! On our last visit, we picked up three Disney VHS tapes and over 40 Magic cards at just 10 cents a piece. The lady at the register was so kind--she even gave us a free plastic deck box for the cards! At checkout, there's also a fun setup of enamel pins, cute figurines, and knickknacks to check out. It's definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area--you might just find a neat hidden treasure!

They even have a section dedicated to Numero Group releases, which I thought was super rad. If you want to try your hand at the bargain bin, there's a room with 50-cent records, too. There is a section near the front (you'll need to kneel) of clearance records underneath some New Arrivals. The folks who work here know and love music, so if you have any questions, I'm sure they'd be happy to chat about it.

Every visit to San Antonio I make it a point to come out to Crazy Rhythms records store to see…read moretheir unique selection of records. I always end up walking out with more than 2 records each visit as their pricing and selection is worth visiting each time. The layout of the shop is great. I recommend starting left side of the shop and work your way around to the right side. You will find all genres sorted out and organized in a very simple and easy to navigate way. Most of the newest arrivals (from folks who are selling or trading their records in) to the back left side. I like starting here just in case I end up finding something cool that just came in. It's a nice way to be able to see what came through to the shop in the last day or two and these records are always diverse in genre. I really enjoy the vintage collection the shop has as decor here. I have seen 8-track players, lunch boxes, older posters from classic albums, cassette players, and even some cool nostalgic childhood toys. I kept smiling at each vintage or throwback items I saw that often tells you "not for sale" or "NFS" stickers on it. As a record collector I take the condition of records seriously before purchasing. I am the annoying record collector who will slide the record out of the sleeve and bend it up to the light to check for scratches, dirt, dust, etc. The last few visits at Crazy Rhythms I have been purchasing and not checking the condition or quality because I trust what I am getting is going to be playable and no bumps/hiccups when I do play them. You will get very good to high-quality records here no doubt. Just heads up - every record collector should know that the cheaper the price (aka clearance or discounted items) usually the quality will suffer but THAT IS NOT THE CASE HERE. You will get better than great quality records and anything that is priced low is probably overstock, common record/selection, and is always priced fairly. You can trust in this record store. Trust. Parking is super easy - just pull right up to the front of the store or park in the private lot. Even when the tourist attractions are busy around the store you will most definitely be able to stop in without having to worry about parking. Parking is never a thing for me even when Fiesta is happening. Check out the selections I have picked up in the few times I have come thru in my photos.

I've only gone in there twice so far and I've come out with 9 records in both trips because I loved their selection so much.

Funky music is always playing overhead, the place is so packed with movies that movie stacks line the walls, and the guys running the shop are always super real and helpful if you need anything at all.

Highly recommend for good 'ole fashion treasure hunt.
