Entry No. 8 — the Oklahoma City file — filed under: speakeasy
Alley Records
Tucked away like a speakeasy and entered through an alleyway, this shop is run by a long-time musician whose lifetime of music knowledge shows in the care of the vinyl collection — classic rock, jazz and soul. It also hosts live music events with rotating local acts.
The move: Find the alley entrance together like you're sneaking into a speakeasy, flip through jazz and soul crates, and time your visit to one of the in-store live sets.
📍 Before you go The address's "918 ½" is the tell: the shop sits off the street behind the building, reached through the alley via an unmarked metal door rather than a storefront, so look for the gap between buildings instead of a sign out front. It's in far north OKC's Britton District, a dedicated drive from downtown, with street parking along Britton Road. That district is a compact, walkable stretch of old Route 66 main street, so build a slow afternoon around it and pair the crates with the area's cafes, restaurants, and a brewery a short stroll away. The shop keeps only a handful of days each week, so confirm before driving up.
