Uila Records Welcomes you!

By day....share in the alchemy of analog audio!

We at Uila records take pleasure in sharing with the world an ever changing selection of new & used vinyl, tapes, CD's, books, games, and merch. Come into our shop any day of the week and explore the sound possibilities.

Listening stations available on site!

Pick up Uila Records merch as well.

You can find us at the Opelo Plaza, nestled beside the misty mountains of Kohala in Waimea, an historic paniolo town on Hawai'i Island.

During the day, come in, enjoy a craft cocktail, and the nostalgia of analog audio in our record shop/ cocktail lounge.

By night... discover the magic of live local sound...

We're excited to bring an intimate and transformative music experience to Waimea. Join us Mondays and Wednesday- Saturday evenings when Uila Records transforms into a live music cocktail lounge, featuring local live musicians, musicians from abroad, as well as specialized performances and themed music nights.

We pride ourselves in being a safe place to share emerging musicians. We specialize in welcoming grass roots musicians as well as headliners in their genre.

Check out our event schedule, and be sure to book in advance!
