BYO Vinyl Night

BYO Vinyl Night is a Tuesday tradition at The ABGB, the brewery, venue, and restaurant on West Oltorf run by 'The Good People'. It's a straightforward premise: you bring a record you've been wanting to share, and the venue plays one side of it on their sound system. The night is framed as "your vinyl the way you've never heard it before," so it's less about DJing a set and more about hearing one specific album the way it was meant to be heard, out loud and in a room with other people.

Slots are limited and first come, first served, so if you've got a particular record in mind, it pays to get there early. Happy hour fills the time before the needle drops, and bringing your coolest record can score you a free beer for your DJ efforts. The ABGB is part of the local creative community, and this is one of those nights that leans into that—a place to hang out and listen to what people are spinning.

If you're not bringing a record, it's still a good spot to just show up and hear whatever makes it onto the turntable. The venue is a brewery, venue, and restaurant all in one, so you can grab a drink and a bite while the records run. It's a low-stakes way to spend a Tuesday night in Austin, especially if you've got a favorite album you've been keeping to yourself.

BYO Vinyl Night runs every Tuesday at The ABGB, 1305 West Oltorf, starting at 6 PM. Entry is free.
