What customers say
One of two iconic record shops in Berkeley (the other being Rasputin's). An overwhelming selection of records, CDs and music paraphernalia. Any type of music, or artist, you can think of they have in both new or used.
Very organized . everything is where is supposed to be alphabetically. Great selection of music on all genres especially rare and hard to find vinyl and CDs. nice atmosphere . only downside is parking there is not much almost got a ticket. but hey you are in downtown berkeley.
I’ve been to the Amoeba store in SF before, but this was my first visit to the one in Berkeley. As expected, they had everything I could ask for in terms of vinyl. Awesome inventory of many different music types, rarities, box sets, etc.
Went to Joe Dart’s masterclass here and it was great! Ran late due to traffic but staff let us in no problem and was able to meet Joe after the class. Love that Ameoba does these 👍🏼 Also went record shopping here the day prior and the selection is great!
