First time in Amarillo and of course has to find a few rustic places to explore. Loved this 125 vendor place. So many fun rooms and the staff was friendly and so helpful. If you are in a hurry this isn't the place but if you have time to walk and remember the good days this is the place to go. read more

This place is a maze, a maze filled with incredible amounts of treasures. I came here to find one sign that mentions route 66, and I was well served. There were lots of them, from the plastic license plates to an original sign selling for $750. The cashiers were very nice and helpful. If you have an hour to kill in Amarillo, this is a great place to do it. read more

Inspired by the Georgia O'Keefe Museum in Santa Fe, I entered Alley Katz in order to find a steer skull while on a recent cross-country trip. The selection of goods was amazing (especially for those into Elvis memorabilia). The owners/workers were very friendly, funny, and helpful. My only complaint was with one of their vendors. The skull that I did end up buying had a sun-bleached tag that ever-so-faintly read "$25." When the owners called the woman who was consigning the sale to get a price for the skull (as they were unable to read the tag), she upped it to $40. While the price was still a steal (now that southwestern decor is all the rage, thanks to Urban Outfitters, a skull runs you anywhere from $50-$175), I think the repricing was a bit unfair. Overall, though, I was pretty happy with the experience! read more

The better of the two big shops on 6th street. Good inventory and new stuff in every time I come through. You can find anything from board games to furniture so plan on devoting a couple of hours to this place. The ladies at the front are nice. But be prepared because the hold firm to a store policy that prohibits negotiating price on anything less than 20 bucks. I'm not a big haggler but I would've been happier if I felt I had worked a deal. Still, I'll take their prices over the other mall down the street anytime. read more

Wandered in to this place for a quick look around and my husband had to force me to leave. Next trip to Amarillo I am scheduling half a day just to shop in this store. Owner actually new people we know. Huge house used to be a boarding house and there were so many rooms I know I missed half of them. Great finds and wonderful prices!! Can't wait to go back. read more

Alley KatZ has just about anything you could think of. It is a huge two story building with many, many rooms. I've found anything from vintage wedding dresses to sports memorabilia. It is a GREAT place to go whether just window shopping or actual shopping. read more

We are camping at Palo Duro Canyon this weekend from Austin and while we love it, we needed a break from the heat. We decided to wander around and explore Amarillo and found the historic Route 66 district. We weren't hopeful finding somewhere that we could go with our pup (people aren't as weird about their dogs in these parts as we're used to). That's where we fell in love with Alley Katz. One of the ladies saw us on the sidewalk and told us to come in with our doggy and we were so thrilled, and promised not to break anything! We could have spent all day in here.... it just goes on and on and on. We probably only saw 30% of their really cool treasures in the 90 minutes we explored. It's packed full of neat items...highlights include: lots of records from all eras, books, vintage toys, lots of kitchen items (especially several old Sunbeam stand mixers that I so wanted), art, glassware, etc. Definitely stop here in Amarillo! Oh, and their air conditioning is super! read more
