Vinyl Night is BACK—and we’re throwing it back in style. If you remember the good vibes from our bi-weekly Vinyl Nights back in 2024, this one-night-only revival is going to feel like a warm, analog hug—just with a lot more energy.
We’re leveling up this year with a full taproom takeover featuring:
🎵Live DJ spinning vinyl all night
🛍️ Local pop-up shop from Record Guys
🍺 $1 OFF your beer + a $5 Record Guys gift card when you bring a vinyl to play!
🎧 WHAT TO EXPECT:
We’ve partnered with Record Guys—Abilene’s ONLY independent vinyl music store—and local legend DJ Justin T Walker for a night full of music, beer, and community. Justin will be spinning real-deal vinyl records from 6 PM to 10 PM, and the playlist is entirely up to you. Bring a record, get rewarded, and hear your favorite tracks live on the turntables.
Anyone who brings in a vinyl for Justin to spin gets:
🎟️ A $1 off beer coupon (redeemable that night)
💳 A $5 gift card to Record Guys
Whether it’s a rare jazz pressing or your guilty pleasure 80s pop LP—we want it all on deck.
Outside, our garage doors will be rolled open, the second-story patio will be wide open to the breeze, and we’ll have speakers set up inside and out so you can vibe to the soundtrack of the night wherever you land.

🎙️WHAT IS RECORD STORE DAY?

Record Guys is an official Record Store Day location, and they’ll be previewing some of the exciting things in store for this year’s celebration at Vinyl Night.
The weather is warming up, the days are getting longer, and there’s no better way to welcome spring than with vinyl, beer, and good company on the balcony. Whether you’re here for the rare finds, the music nostalgia, the craft beer, or just want a reason to get out of the house—we’ve got a spot saved for you.
