VINYL NIGHT – Pop-Up Edition at Grain Theory
Friday November 21st | 5:30pm – 9:30pm
Grain Theory Taproom | 202 Pine St, Downtown Abilene
Free Entry | Open to All Ages
Vinyl Night is BACK—and we’re throwing it back in style. If you remember the good vibes from our bi-weekly Vinyl Nights back in 2024, this one-night-only revival is going to feel like a warm, analog hug.
We’re leveling up this year with a full taproom takeover featuring:
Live DJ Justin T Walker spinning vinyl all night
Local pop-up shop from Record Guys
$1 OFF your beer + a $5 Record Guys gift card when you bring a vinyl to play! (Limited to one track song request per person)
WHAT TO EXPECT:
We’ve partnered with Record Guys—Abilene’s ONLY independent vinyl music store—and DJ Justin T Walker for a night of music, beer, and community. Justin will be spinning real-deal vinyl records from 5:30PM to 9:30PM, and the playlist is entirely up to you. Bring a record, get rewarded, and hear your favorite tracks live on the turntables.
Anyone who brings in a vinyl for Justin to spin gets:
A $1 off beer coupon (redeemable that night)
A $5 gift card to Record Guys
Whether it’s a rare jazz pressing or your guilty pleasure 80s pop LP—we want it all on deck.
Outside, our garage doors will be rolled open, the second-story patio will be wide open to the breeze, and we’ll have speakers set up inside and out so you can vibe to the soundtrack of the night wherever you land.
