We were so sad when Amoeba Hollywood closed its doors because of the Covid situation. Amoeba music has always been a must-visit for all music lovers and many were very saddened to hear the news about closing.
Now, we have some good news! Amoeba has reopened at a new location on April 1st. No, it’s not a joke thankfully.
The new location isn’t too far from the original, now on the corner of Hollywood Blvd. and Argyle Ave. in the El Centro residential and retail complex.
At the new spot, there’s validated parking in the El Centro parking structure and there’s a metro-rail stop across the street at Hollywood & Vine.
With substantial vinyl, CD and DVD/Blu-ray selections, the store also maintains some extensive book and poster selections as well as a “curated” t-shirt section, turntables and vinyl accessories and music-themed collectibles. Obviously this is all necessary for the store’s survival these days.
COVID-19 restrictions allow 50% capacity so prepare to wait in line outside, six feet apart.

“We are so ready to safely re-open our doors to our amazingly supportive and loyal customers who have kept in touch with us during this unfathomable time,”
Amoeba co-owner Jim Henderson says in the store’s opening day press release.
“Nobody could have anticipated the challenges this year brought for the world and we’ve been eager to get back to what we do best – hosting the world’s biggest selection of music, movies and ephemera for the community of Los Angeles and beyond. We’ve missed seeing our staff and everyone who visits us in person more than we can express and look forward to starting our third decade in Hollywood in the new space and creating more memories together.”
