A video store for all of us intellectual movie nerds!…read more Videotheque sells some new and used DVDs and Blu-Rays, but their main purpose of being is as a video rental store and it's like no other video store I've been too. Their videos are organized by how a cinema fan's mind works. By category, by country, by director. John Woo movies in the Hong Kong director's section. Hou Hsiao-Hsien in Taiwan. There's classic porn from the 70s, 80s and 90s. There are Criterion discs. There are John Huston movies, Godard movies, Wim Wenders and David Lynch. Dario Argento horror movies. Sci-fi. Pre Sci-fi. Post Sci-fi. Brazilian. African. Silent films... I could go on and on. If you are looking for an obscure out of print classic film that's not on streaming, there's an 80% chance that you can find it here to rent. There is street parking nearby. The problem? I live in OC and this place is in Mount Washington/Montecito Heights. So if I move down there, I'll be renting some unheard of movies, that's for sure!

That analog sound is so warm & cozy to the soul. I remember interviewing a band called Me First and the Gimme Gimmes. I think of them every time I pass this store. Even though it's a small shop, it's packed with a variety of new and used LPs & EPs from various musical genres. I came here to pick up some records for a friend as a holiday gift. The owner is friendly and knowledgeable. I enjoyed browsing through the stacks and saw some records that brought back some great memories. If you collect vinyl I suggest checking this place out. *Street parking

One other great aspect to the store is the location: there's parking, it's near the highway (I-5), and it's in Atwater, central to most of LA and full of great food and other destinations worth your time, too. Highest recommendation!

From what I thought it was going to be a goodnight vibe going out to support the line up/headliners. We arrived at the exact time the venue advertised the artist will perform. The bouncer told us they actually ended 2 hours ago from the original time they said. I was furious because not even a notification was sent to us that they changed the time. I would figure venues would notify their customers about the time changes but not even an email sent. Definitely not coming back for another events to this location. Poor communication management with their customers.

The selection is great and the guy working the shop that day was nice. The "venue" itself is so quaint and perfect for an intimate show. The bartender was also friendly and made a great gin and tonic. There are two restrooms in the venue. Both are single restrooms but are very clean. There is plenty of street parking. But it is street parking only.

If you're looking for a wedding reception, private party/venue, permanent records roadhouse is fantastic. Jesse was great too, Damian, as well as Bridget. Tara and Lance were so accommodating and easy to work with. Highly recommend this wonderful location if you're looking to host 100-150 guests. Ample space for guests, security, signage, street parking, clean venue and bathrooms. I'm sure you could hire a private valet service if you wanted to. There's a slope that leans downhill from the bar to the record store floor that may need to be considered for guests with mobility issues, but other than that, absolutely phenomenal location and experience.

To find out that Cosmic Vinyl reopened in Eagle Rock brought us joy! This is one of our favorite…read morerecords stores in LA that we talk about to this day. I'm so glad they came back! I love the 70s retro look of the store! I need to digress about the Echo Park store and how we found it by accident. One of our first pre-covid trips to LA, we had to find a vegan restaurant for our daughter. By then we all were kind of hangry and stressed. While we were walking to the restaurant, we passed Cosmic Vinyl in Echo Park. I told my husband to check it out (that got him out of the car and his stress went away). Finding Cosmic Vinyl in Echo Park was one of our favorite shopping adventures. Because I found every album my husband was looking for (LOL), but there is a sense of community and a vibe to this store that we haven't experienced in some stores we have visited. It was sad when their Echo Park location closed, but it was nice to hear they are back.

But after you lend money. We all know the story all too well they took the money & RAN.. Never to be repaid. I enjoyed the system for numerous years But after downsizing my collection after getting into my retirement years. And 36 years later. I decided to let them go to a good home to be restored and cherished like they should be. I googled Vintage Stereo Equipment and Rewind Audio popped up.. Gave them a call and literally 6 hours later they were at my home picking them up to bring them back to life & give them a new home. I am so grateful I called them. They know exactly what to do with them. And hopefully they find them a new home so someone else can enjoy them for another 36 years. Thank You so much for your help... Ron Laskodi.. Former Klipsch Owner.. And Music Enthusiast.. Rock On. Rewind Audio..

Not only do they consistently have an amazing inventory of diverse, unique, high-quality vintage hifi components (speakers, amps, turntables, cassette decks, etc), but they are also extremely knowledgable, kind, and earnest people who value their customers deeply, and strive to deliver the best possible gear and customer service. Their energy and passion is infectious! Aside from being great people - they offer very fair and competitive pricing on all of their equipment and you can be certain that everything in stock has been inspected, tested, and held to the highest standard - which makes the value nearly priceless. A rare gem in LA! A 'must visit' for vintage audio nerds.
