Best Shop That Rocks on Dirty Sixth

Aaron's Rock & Roll

We fondly remember our first visit to Aaron's Rock & Roll, when we bonded with a store clerk over the purchase of a Venom T-shirt. Since that day, Aaron's has been our stop for tops running the gamut of rock from the Beatles to Slayer as well as music-themed patches, buttons, stickers, posters, and even flip-flops and baby onesies. The charmingly chaotic clutter is also home to a formidable collection of novelties and gifts to please all your rocker friends. Looking for a bobblehead figurine of Wendy Williams, Jello Biafra, or Iron Maiden's mascot Eddie? What about adorably morbid fashion accessories and jewelry? Or an inflatable cat in a can? No sweat, it's all here. An added bonus: The store's location is perfect for killing time before or after a show on Dirty Sixth. We would recommend you stop in before. If you wait until after you're inebriated, you might end up passing on the cool Ts in favor of the Handerpants.
