Knowledgable staff and a great selection of beers.

A typical Spec’s liquor store. Large warehouse style building with all sorts of wine, beer and liquor. Service was as to be expected. Selection was pretty similar to the Houston location, but was hoping to see a bit more of the local Austin beers. Prices were quite competitive. A nice store overall.

A massive liquor and beer store housed in what used to be an Academy. A huge selection of beer, liquor and wine, but probably not quite as good as the flagship location in downtown Houston. Still, I think this is the best selection of the Specs in Central Texas. Also has a ton of cheese, cigars, other groceries, etc...

A very good bottle store in southwest Austin-has all your Jester king bottles that are avalible as well as some other rare brews (i got the ever elusive Rayon Vert from Green Flash while here). Staff is very friendly and willing to answer questions.

Pretty big place. You have to look around to find the gems that are hidden. Most likely they don’t know what they got, since it seems they just take the shotgun approach to buying to stock the shelves - whatever their distributor can get they’ll take. Much more BMC beers than I like to see, but it is a liquor store after all. Decent selection of food stuff, and cigars.

Biggest liquor store I’ve been into - by volume, at least. This is a former Academy Sports store converted into a Spec’s. All of the beer guys are very knowledgeable and very friendly, and this Spec’s tends to get the greatest amounts of new or special beers that come into Austin. Some of the sales are very nice bargains, and at any given time they probably have the most beer of any store in town. It’s aways a pleasure to shop at Spec’s Brodie. A 5% discount is given if you pay cash or debit, since the store has to pay a fee for credit card purchases - a nice policy that I’d like to see some other stores implement.

This is a beer superstore with an outstanding beer selection. - The "good" beers are not in the fridge , they are on shelves next to the refrigerated beers. - The deli counter is excellent. I’ve had several tasty sandwiches there. - I also like the cheese selection. I picked up some Chimay cheese there that was excellent with our BA beer tasting night. - They have this weird cash policy that they charge you extra if you use a credit card, so use a debit card here.

A huge store with a good beer selection, and squeeky clean floors. So what did i buy here last week ? a sixer of SN Celebration; old habits die hard i guess. This Specs has a nice specialty food and deli section right next to the beer dept. Worth a stop.

If you’ve seen one Specs. you pretty much seen them all. Good selection. Employees vary, some good, some great, some should be left in sun to dry. and if this is read by Mike (acrdz) - can the Places w/ multiple locations be consolidated?
