Local before arrival
For music collectors, this is the promised land: a retired bowling alley now crammed with over 100,000 albums, including an unrivaled selection of rare vinyl. Into underground ’90s hip-hop? Math rock? Avant-garde Tokyo pop? It’s all there – every genre is – plus booths for sampling. Surrender your ego and ask the famously knowledgeable staff for some recommendations, or just talk bands. An afternoon at Amoeba is a reminder that the pursuit of good music is a pursuit of love.
