Spec’s Liquor Store

I don’t care for Spec’s. I hear a Spec’s rah-​rah! radio ad and immediately cringe like I’m chewing on aluminum foil. Ugh! Go Spec’s!
This Spec’s moved into a Staples-​sized store. For me, the cave inside is too big and wide open. They need to hang a few jumbo-​trons and air football or games for shoppers. Maybe put some Sham-​wow guys and vendors to fill the empty space? Staff isn’t knowledgeable or helpful, even though their website is; twice directed to check the website for an answer. And worst of all, they upcharge charge cards purchases… like the 80’s when Exxon had cash or credit prices.
There are other better choices worth the drive.

This location is well organized has an extremely knowledgeable staff and has One of the best selections of cigars and beverages I’ve ever seen. For someone that may be unsure of what to purchase, or pair with the type of meal, the staff is personable available and want you to have a positive experience. For the more knowledgeable individual they provide a wide selection and quality of different brands and spirits to complement any special or festive occasion. They offer a terrific discount for those that pay with debit or cash, and accept all major credit cards.
My one recommendation to anyone going to find that one perfect bottle or a couple of different spirits to light up a party, bring a couple extra dollars as I am darn near positive you will walk out with at least one additional bottle if not more due to the terrific sales.

I walked in like a kid in a candy store! I had to drive on over because they were the only store who had a mini keg selection close to me because we got my brother a beer tender for Christmas. I ended up leaving with the keg, crown, beer and a few snacks LOL! I am never to impressed with liquor stores, except Halls because BBQ, but this place is super clean, the staff is unbelievably helpful and courteous and the prices are very very good! Cash or debit automatically gets you 5% off and that’s always a plus! Great selection, SUPER wine selection and I can’t say enough good things! I’ll be going back this week to get goods for New Years!

Love how many different selections they have, not only of liquor, wine and beer but also their novelty items. They have a lot of cute shot glasses, beer glasses, wine glasses, etc.
I also love that they have a membership card system so you can get a discount, and it’s free!

How can you not love this place? For starters — I love craft beer and the only place I can typically find most of them in my area is at Specs. Recently I have been forced to drink gluten-​free beer (I refuse to drink ciders) and Spec’s has a decent variety of choices for me. It also doesn’t hurt that just a few aisles over from the beer I can go get stocked up on my bourbon or scotch needs.
The customer service is amazing. You are greeted almost instantly when you enter the facility and if you ever look slightly lost an employee jumps at the opportunity to assist you and steer you in the right direction.
I have never actually tried any of the food selection here but from what I have been told it is fantastic. Maybe next time I go I will try a cheese tray or something…
It is very hard for me to walk in to Specs and not leave with at least a hundred dollars in treats. They also have a very good selection of cigars that tempts me every time I go.

We used Spec’s on Eastchase in Fort Worth for our daughter’s wedding this past weekend. They were wonderful to work with, especially David and Dina. They had the best prices around, they delivered to our venue with the white wine and beer chilled, and they took back what we didn’t use. They gave us great customer service and everything was easy breezy! We highly recommend them and will use them again in the future.

Spec’s Liquor store the place to go for booze galore. This is a very large store they have everything you could possibly want. I have been a few times and I always walk out with more then I wanted. Easy to get around very bright nicely laid out.
Sometimes on weekends they do tastings of wine, liquor, or mixed drinks sometime all the above. I had to cut myself off because I had to drive home. Lol. But really it is a nice thing that Spec’s does letting you try the different wines or liquors.
Spec’s is new to the DFW area been here only a few months and they are doing a great job. Employees are always eager to help you with whatever you are looking for.

Huge selection best prices in town friendliest staff very helpful. Always have what I want

The fact that Spec’s is right around the corner from where my brother lives is a problem. Every time I visit it is one of two places we frequent. They have a huge selection of beer, wine, liquor and many goodies to fill a gift basket or picnic basket, including the baskets themselves. Prices are awesome. The staff is incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. Despite it being the day before Thanksgiving, the lines moved quickly and everyone was friendly. We even had the extra added bonus of sample night. Smart thinking, Specs! I got an extra bottle of wine because of your marketing. I’ll see you again in May when I visit.

I continue to be super impressed with Spec’s and I can’t think of any reason not to love it. I’ve yet to find better deals than they offer, and that goes for beer, wine, liquor, and even cheese. For real, do your speciality cheese shopping here. I’m not talking kraft orange cheddar, big blocks of swiss, or string cheese, of course. But for interesting hard and soft cheeses, the prices at Spec’s rock.
I think you can probably find cheaper drink mixers at your usual grocery store ($ 1 2 litres of club soda and lemonade at my Tom Thumb, at least), but if you’re interested in variety when it comes to margarita or bloody Mary mix, etc., Spec’s has you covered for sure. Plenty of brands and sizes to choose from.
The customer service here has always been outstanding. If I’m wandering I’ll be asked if I need help, and so far everyone’s been knowledgable and genuine. When I needed «the best random array of white and red wines for around $ 10 for a baby shower,» I was given superb advice. Those wines were killer for $ 10! When I needed «festive Halloween-​y wine and beer» for Halloween party prizes, I was given an exceptional tour and options in a range of prices. When I needed «a great local bourbon with a pretty label» for my boyfriend’s mother, I was again given helpful attention. I’ve also called to ask about specific products and given friendly, useful responses:
Me: «Hello, do you have Rahr’s Texas Pride beer?»
Spec’s: «Let me transfer you to our Rahr expert!»
Me (thinking): Dang, they have a Rahr expert?!
Spec’s: «Hello miss, how can I help you?»
Me: «Do y’all carry Rahr’s Pride IPA?»
Spec’s: «We do have Rahr’s Pride of Texas Pale Ale, but it isn’t an IPA.»
Me: «That’s what I meant, WOO!»
Spec’s: «WOO!»
Y’all probably didn’t need an entire transcription of this recent conversation I had with Spec’s, but they made me happy and I wanted to share. The staff knows what they’re doing and I’ve always found exactly what I’ve ever needed here — even if I’m unsure yet what I want. BUT the employees are not overbearing, so don’t worry. They won’t follow you around and ask you 20 times if you need help. Just saying that if you need it, they’ve got you covered for sure.
I love you, Spec’s.

Big beer and liquor selection. Party food in the back. Not very well educated on wine and champagne so willl not comment on that. Just happy to have a Spec’s in the neighborhood.

COUNTLESS selection of alcohol. Small snacks like cheese and deli items are available for sale. This place is huge and very clean.
I’m not a wine connoisseur or anything. I don’t drink much and know absolutely nothing about alcoholic drinks. I’m the typical girly drinks only gal (with the exception of downing occasional shots). But the staff is incredibly friendly and very helpful, offering various suggestions.

Not my most favorite Spec’s but it serves the purpose. Need drink-​ware, specialty beers both local and imported? Go to Spec’s. They’ve got a great selection of beers, wines, and spirits. The alcohol selection is very organized and if you’re not quite sure what you’re looking for, please ask! The people who work here are very helpful and knowledgeable about the products. They also have foods that pair well with drinks so head to the back of the store where you can find artisan cheeses and sausages. I was able to pick up a variety of cheeses, a cheeseboard, and some beers that made a great charcuterie. My only complaint is that they do not have a hot or cold food bar for olives or fresh deli meat like the one in Dallas on Walnut Hill.

This Spec’s location is Fantastic. This was my first visit but it won’t be the last.
Ample parking. Inside: spacious, well labelled, and well stocked. Help was available for any question. I asked about a juniper jin (for gin soaked raisins), he showed me one that people had complained was too jiniperry (exactly what I want). I asked grenadine, he showed me one on special. Flavored vodkas, just a wall full of them!
They have mixers a million, like four brands of tonic water, and one of those brands had a choice of indian or elderberry tonic water.
Wine: more than just white and red. Also a Huge selection of Texas wines. I asked for help finding chocolate wine, they have a 3×4 shelving section of that.
Check out: you get a 5% discount for cash, debit, and check!

I love Spec’s. They have a terrific wine selection and lower-​than-​everyone-​else pricing. Plus, use cash or debit and save yourself even more $. When a Spec’s employee in the wine section asks if you need help, say YES and trust whatever recommendations they offer. I’ve discovered some excellent new wines this way!

First time here and very impressed with selections and variety. Beside liquor, beer and wine there is a good selection of gourmet food items.
Prices were good and they offer discounts.
Cheese selection was very good also. Will have to go back and try more!

Great selection. But what is up with not selling a single of those tiny glasses?
WTF i asked for one of those small shotthings of Kahlua, the girl said I needed to buy two. She is not selling just one to me.
WTF???
Other than this weird experience, its an ok place to buy a large amount of alcohol. But because I can only buy in pair of twos of those shotthings, I probably would not go out of my way to drive here.
You get % off if you use cash or debit.

I used to live in Houston and Specs were everywhere! Then I moved to Dallas and was sad I’ll never be able to shop at Specs. Now they are migrating to the north!!! YAY!!! It’s like a Walmart for alcohol! and they have a gourmet food. The gourmet food can be pricey, but I’ve found great deals on some. And the staff was really helpful. I was looking for a wine I had at Olive Garden and was told it was only made for OG and no where else. I went to Spec’s and there it was! and it was a Staff Pick. So yay! Instead of paying $ 26 for the bottle at the restaurant, I got it for $ 13.

Let’s put it this way, a year ago there were five liquor stores within a half mile of this location, now there are three, inlcuding this just opened store. Not sure if the others saw it coming, but the Majestic/​Bottle Shop/​Big Daddys conglomerate I guess hit hard times, but with the prices some of them sold at, I’m not heartbroken. The other two survivors in the area I believe are owned by the same person, and they’re hanging tough, they had pretty good prices to begin with and I’d be surprised if they go away.
I was thinking for some reason they would have a huge beer selection, and while being bigger than most, I was still thinking it would have been bigger. Did have quite a few beers I’d never heard of.
That said, in my few trips in here I see that prices aren’t super cheap on everything. Most prices are within a dollar of the other places, sometimes not even that much, but on some things they can be a decent amount cheaper. For business reasons I end up buying a keg of commercial crap (ie: Miller Lite) once or twice a month and I started going here to buy it because it’s $ 25 cheaper a keg here, which is a WOW lower price point. Last week or so they started carrying the «finer foods» part, which consists a lot of cheese, sauces, chips, nuts, etc. that you don’t see very many other places. Grabbed some habanero hot sauce that is pretty good, some brand I’d never seen before.
They do a cash/​debit card price, and a credit price. I believe it’s 5% discount for cash or debit card. I noticed that some of their cash prices were the same as some of the regular prices at a couple of other places.
So, they do have some stuff other places don’t, and it will be cheaper more than likely. Just not really sure it’s worth driving across town, but if you got one close you can probably save a few bucks.

Having always lived right across the border (on the Arlington side of the Fort Worth/​Arlington border, mind you), our holidays always included a handful of visits to one of 5 or 6 liquor stores right behind our neighborhood. City limits and regulations have not changed, but the stores have been all been closing up.
But, this powerhouse from Houston has stepped up to the plate, bringing about a ridiculous amount of liquor, sourced from reputable sources, marketed at a decent price point. Located in a former Office Depot space, this new kid on the block finds itself in a large enough space to provide a crazy inventory of beer, wine, spirits, whatever your poison.
For all those who live in proximity to this great shop, welcome the legend that the great state of Texas knows as Spec’s!
