Best record store in town. Period. 11/28/2007

As a music junkie I can tell you that if you can't find it anywhere else, you're ALMOST always assured to find it at Waterloo. They have a great selection of a ton of different kinds of music and I LOVE that they don't sort by genre, just alphabetically. In these days of blurred lines between genres it's sometimes hard to tell what section to look in. When it's all listed alphabetically it makes it a lot easier to find what you need. Yay Waterloo! more

Great place to find favorites and discover new artists 12/3/2006

I can't pass through Austin without stopping at Waterloo to get all the albums I can't find at other places. Pros: great atmosphere, staff, and shows Cons: usually very crowded more

Awesome collection 10/23/2005

It's been awhile since I have been in a record store that went without the pretentious feel of the big warehouses in LA but on a recent trip to Austin I found this record store to be just what I was looking for. A great selection, low key sales people that know their stuff, and just a general atmosphere that is comfortable to shop in. I will be back for sure. Pros: Great selection, Decent Prices more

  • In Short
    Owner John Kunz opened the store in 1982 and the local music scene hasn't been the same since. The crowded, narrow aisles include the largest local music sections in town, along...
