It's time to get excited, Scenestar readers. This is NOT a cruel April Fool's joke either, because Amoeba Music is finally BACK! The Hollywood location has announced that its new location is opening next week following the closing of its 6400 Sunset Blvd closing permanently. They will now be opening their new location at 6200 Hollywood Blvd on Thursday, April 1. Amoeba will have new temporary hours as well: Monday - Sunday 11 am - 8 pm (Buy counter open 11 am - 7 pm).

The iconic record store will be following all health and safety guidelines from local city and county public health departments, including social distancing and mandatory wearing of face coverings over the nose and mouth. More details on Amoeba Music Hollywood are below, and we're as excited as you are to see the new location. See you there!

We are happy to announce that Amoeba Hollywood is reopening at our new location at 6200 Hollywood Blvd on Thursday, April 1st! The store will have new temporary hours: Monday - Sunday 11 am - 8 pm (buy counter open 11 am - 7 pm).

We are following all health and safety guidelines from our local City and County public health departments, including social distancing and mandatory wearing of face coverings over the nose and mouth. We are not checking bags at the front of the store; instead, we ask that you do not bring large bags or backpacks. Smaller bags will be visually inspected upon exit.

The line to enter the store will form on Argyle Blvd. Customers who have more than 10 items to sell or trade will line up for the buy counter on Hollywood Blvd. (Customers with 10 items or less to sell will join the main shopping line.)

We will have a special opening day poster designed by L.A. artist Ivan Minsloff as a gift with purchase in-store only on April 1st (while supplies last).

There will also be live t-shirt silk-screening in the courtyard of the El Centro complex on April 1st starting at 11:30 am until 4 pm featuring the opening day design by Ivan Minsloff and silkscreened on-site by our friends at Family Industries. Customers will pay for their t-shirt at the registers inside Amoeba and then take their voucher outside to the courtyard where Family Industries will silkscreen their commemorative t-shirt. Shirts are $10 and available while supplies last!

Amoeba Hollywood is located at 6200 Hollywood Blvd in the “El Centro” complex at Hollywood & Argyle. The complex has a large, well-managed parking garage and we'll validate for the first 75 minutes with any in-store purchase.

Additionally, there are parking meters on all three of the surrounding streets, as well as a few public lots within a short walk. We are directly across the street from the Hollywood & Vine stop on the Metro and the 217 bus stops one block west (on Hollywood between Argyle & Vine), so the store is very convenient to public transportation.

Open Monday - Sunday 11 am - 8 pm (The buy counter is open 11 am - 7 pm)
