It's summer so the it's hard to manage but it is necessary because my husband had to swallow his food to avoid them and I was swatting flies the entire meal.

The store has a super cool vibe that I haven't found in any other record store even in San Antonio where I now live. Also very unique that you can have them build you a system if you desire an upgrade from a standard turntable. I tell people all over San Antonio that it's worth the drive to come see these guys and get back to how music is supposed to sound! The place is very organized and they always seem to know where what you're looking for is. Great selection, fairly priced, and an awesome atmosphere!

Record Guys helped calm my craving to dig recently…read more I hadn't been in a record shop since I left L.A. during the summer of 2022! This Abilene-based shop had two of the nicest guys - a father-son duo - working the front when I was there (11/21/2023). The dad pointed out the mural on the wall outside before I walked inside. Gave me some insight about the local artist who painted it. Inside you'll find mostly 33s, but there's more... to 45s to CDs to VHSs and tapes, posters, speakers, record players, memorabilia... Ya know, I didn't see much blues. That was the only pitfall for me. I was stoked when the dad, a former schoolteacher, mentioned the NEW Billy Idol Christmas record I snatched was really good. "He's a real crooner on this one..." And that's why I love record shops. Check out their Black Friday sale... I'm missing out some really good deals, but that's life.

It was decorated so beautifully with white lights all around on the inside but the vintage and antique feel is what made it a hidden gem. The bathrooms are so clean and designed well. This place is spacious and was able to accommodate a meet in greet, full buffet and then had another room for dining and a presentation. The staff who help serve us food were amazing. I give this place a 10/10. I'm not sure what else this space is used for but it would be amazing to host a wedding reception here as well or company event.

My wife and I were trying to find somewhere to have a couple drinks. We went inside and immediately regretted even trying to give the place a chance. It smelled like feet and I'm pretty sure there was a homeless guy sitting at the end of the bar who may or may not have been for like days! We didn't even finish our drink. Would definitely not recommend this place, that is unless your looking for illegal drugs or prostitutes. The place is trash!

We both enjoyed a Brooklyn Lager with our meal and it was quite tasty with our dinner. The only reason I did not score five stars was due to seating. It might be advisable to call one hour ahead of your visit and request to be seated in the main room. We were told when we phoned there would not be a wait for just two people but upon arrival they seated us in the larger and unfortunately louder space where there was a large party of guests. Rather than see us leave and go elsewhere they accommodated us in the main dining room and it was much better with less noise. So keep this in mind; don't miss this good Abilene eatery.

Overall not a bad dish if you're looking for something fresh 8/10. The cocktails were also really good, I'd recommend overall and would come back!

They have an extensive martini and drink menu and a good assortment of bottle drinks. I did feel that their prices were inflated to big city prices, which just don't really need to be here in Abilene. The bartenders were running their asses off and the DJ was spinning some good mixes. The decor is fun too with a variety of seating and standing options. Other things to consider: 1. no cover! yea! 2. They are only open Thursdays and Fridays. My hope is that this changes with the new location. 3. No food So if you want to feel trendy for the evening head on out.
