Alley Tunes Records
A well-regarded record store in Hawthorn, rated 4.8 across more than 240 reviews.
Why it's worth checking out
Alley Tunes Records sits on Glenferrie Road in Hawthorn, a leafy, established inner-eastern suburb of Melbourne. A well-regarded record store, it's earned a strong reputation among music lovers — offering a great selection of vinyl records and music, along with knowledgeable, friendly service, the kind of characterful local record shop that crate-diggers and music fans return to.
The appeal is that combination of a great, curated selection of vinyl and music and the genuine joy of crate-digging in a characterful local record store, all with knowledgeable advice on hand. For vinyl lovers and music fans, a quality independent record shop is a real treasure, and Alley Tunes has clearly won over a devoted following.
With a 4.8 rating from more than 240 reviews, it's clearly a firm favourite. The stock, range, opening hours and any events vary — and record stock changes constantly, which is part of the fun — so it's worth checking current details if you're after something specific, though for a browse and a flick through the crates, it's often just a matter of dropping in to Alley Tunes on Glenferrie Road in Hawthorn.
