Why locals recommend it
In the past few years, Peckham has seen a resurgence in record stores. Rye Wax is in the middle of the revival, and is part of the CLF Art Cafe complex—a good place to hit once the sun goes down. It’s also a bar and a small basement venue, where the experimental music that the shop is associated with gets played to the masses. The real reason to go to Rye Wax, besides all the great music, is the tacos. Tucked between the bar and the record shop is Taco Queen. I go here every week, and let me tell you: These are the best tacos this side of Mexico City!

Tips from locals
Under bussey building. You have to pay to enter and expect an intense experience inside (with or without a crowd!)
This place is always a surprise to me. Like, from the outside, Rye Wax doesn’t seem like much but rest assured, it’s one of those joints that just oozes atmosphere. Rye Wax is filled with vintage vinyl that you can buy, loads of retro board games to play and a live DJ who seems to always play the best songs that you’ve never really heard of.
Lively community venue with a shop for vinyl records, live DJs and a relaxed bar and cafe.
