Big Henrys Vinyl & Gifts

Hello Austin, 🙋🏽‍♂️🇺🇸 I apologize for being MIA.I continue living with PTSD, insomnia, & yes.. Bi-Polar Depression. So please forgive me for the missed reviews or questions about a place Ive been or walked past. I appreciate everyone who understands. 🙏🏽So....this is a record store I stumbled across walking. I never walk the same path & will randomly take a turn, or go straight, etc. I was going past Big Henrys & the music was not only older... the young lady playing the music...was super young. I turned my music off & it was the most powerful, uplifting 1/2 hr Ive experienced in a music store. Though I take responsibility for how (I Feel), it was the continued trauma I suffered from the ugly, aggressive behavior of the building manager... where I live that had me down for 2 weeks. Again!Which is why I cant remember the name of this Super Star of A Worker... that brought me into this jewl of a find. Tomorrow, she should be working, & Ill update with her name. Its beautiful & unique & starts with an S. Lol...😳😳🫣🫣🫠🫠I am better & walking again.Thanks, Big Henrys Vinyl & GiftsGood & Love To The People Of Austin TX!🫂❤️PS: a few pictures from my walks

A must see in downtown Austin with a great selection of used soul, funk, jazz & gospel albums (many of which are rare originals)

Wow this is a really hip place. I could spend hours in here. Looking at who played on all these albums. The Greats. Real vinyl. If you ever come to town, please hang out in here for a half an hour do some listening look at back of the albums that list who played with who.

Friendly service, very much an Austin vibe. Has a great selection of unique, obscure, hard to find blues vinyl.

Wonderful record store. The staff was so awesome. Great place to find Blues material.

Great curated collection of gems and rare to find vinyls. All original press. The service was outstanding as well.

I saw a show at Antones about a month ago for a George Porter Jr. show and bought a poster. When I got home my dog thought it would be a good idea to eat that poster. I went out on a limb and messaged Big Henry’s about the incident, and they sent me the same poster free of charge (shipped it out of state too)! Great venue, great service, Great people! Will definitely go back when I’m in Austin again!

Big Henrys is the SPOT! Dont go here if you hate incredible and rare vinyl, the blues, or old Austin vibes and good people.

Big Henry’s is an oasis in downtown stocked with the best blues and soul records! The staff are always incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. If you’re a veteran of Antone’s or blues music, you’re more than likely to find exactly what you’re looking for and something new. If you’re just getting into the wonderful world of blues and soul, look no further- anyone in the shop will share a record that’s soon to become your favorite.

Tourist trape. Its a small and I mean small alcove next to Antones. Very expensive prints of blues artists with no authenticity I could recognize. SRV print for $750.00 thats all over the Internet that you can print for free.If youre looking for a certain blues music album this might be a good place to look.

Good selection for the size of the place. The dude at the counter is always cool. The prices are a little high, but thats because they carry some rarities.

One of a kind shop for records and Antones merchandise! Shop manager Grace and her staff are awesome. You can even get a cold drink and a poboy before Antones opens starting at noon everyday.

Fun record shop! Picked up items youll never find anywhere else! Cant wait to listen to the new albums and while chilling with a margarita! 😃

Holy ground for any true “Blues Enthusiast.” MAKE THE PILGRIMAGE!

Love this shop. Great staff, incredible music selection, cool merch too.

Old school record shop with great memorabilia and great finds

Great spot for hidden music

Got My ticket for the 80th Ernie Durawas 80 birthday celebration on December 4th 2022!!!

Way too much temptation for me to buy stuff. Unfortunately, I am on a budget

Super friendly staff, cool products. It was hard choosing a t-shirt because they had so many great ones.

Went at 5:18pm. Open sign on. Door locked three people sitting inside. Tried twice and no one helped so will not shop here.

We bought shirts here. It is a part of Antones.

Knowledgeable staff and well curated collection.

Said there where open till 10 was closed at 6:30 ???

Nice spot

Cool place
