Premier Fine Wine And Spirits

Small, locally owned shop that you might miss if you blink driving down Yale. It may look small, but you can find anything you need. Shouts to their awesome craft beer collection! I was able to find the elusive pumpkinator when it was sold out at pretty much every place that sold beer. They carry a good selection of mixers, a huge selection of wine, and a surprising array of rare spirits — you know, the thousand dollar scotches that come in wooden boxes that anyone with a salary under 6 figures probably should even look at.

This place is hands down the best liquor store I town! Raj has everything specs has and twice the customer service! I’m big into bourbon and he has everything specs doesn’t carry. AND he has them on the shelf! He also carries a great selection of wine, beer and and his scotch selection is better than you will find at any «mom &loop» store. Bottom line, if you want a great place to buy booze, this place is it!

The owner is super awesome and always helpful and friendly. I always pick this place over specs. He let my friends and I sip his personal bottle of a really high end Tequila. That was pretty awesome

If you are black and you are thinking about coming here. DO NOT COME HERE. I just got off a long 12hr shift at work and I wanted to grab a «lil something» to drink when I got home. I work in the area and I often pass up this store but I have yet to check them out. Long story short, the 3 minutes in there someone followed me around the entire store… They made it completely obvious!

Interesting liquor store. They gave liquors from many countries. Prices are a bit expensive but the location is very covenient

Racial profiling! The owner had a employee follow me around the store as I shopped, guess he thought I wouldn’t notice. I’ve never stolen anything in my life, I have a B.S. in Biochemistry, a great career in Oil&Gas, and live down the street in the Heights. Not all black people are thieves!

The store is small but they have a huge selection of wine, liquor and beer. I’ve been searching for Svedka Clementine and my friend has been searching for Guava Rum, they had them both! Yay!
The owner (I assume he was the owner) was really nice. I’d definitely go back, not just for the Svedka but for the service. I don’t even live close to this place!
4 star review only because it was my first experience, if my second experience is just as good I’ll change it to 5 stars.

Guy that owns it is over the top great. Gives you tastings of anything, helps me learn how to describe what I like in «proper» language so I can find more of what I like. Dudes basically very nice, very knowledgable, brings I. Good stuff for cheaper than specs. Gotta be in my top 3 Unilocal reviews

I don’t buy a lot of alcohol but this place is clean, the people are friendly, and it is close to my house. They have a large selection of alcohol and I have no complaints. Generally I don’t like going in to liquor stores but i don’t mind this one at all.

Surprisingly impressed with this little liquor store. Not rows and rows of every single alcoholic beverage you can think of like Specs. Not super niche orientated like Premium Draught, Growler’s, or D&Q. Just all around solid. I was not in the mood to drive downtown to Specs to find a bottle of bourbon, so I decided to check this spot out since it was just on the other side of I10 from where I live.
The only other liquor store options in the Heights area are pathetic. In selection and price. This spot however, has you covered on both ends. Specs is obviously cheaper still, I don’t think anybody in town (maybe the state) can compete. Though a nice selection on all things whiskey. Ended up with a bottle of the new Houston distillery Yellow Rose for around $ 33. The selection of bourbons and scotches behind the counter looked really impressive, but I did not get a chance to browse that as much. Though the regular stuff on the shelf is very good anyway.
Also picked up a six pack of Real Ale’s newest release. A small, but good selection of craft beers. Which includes Jester King, Founders, and some more. Service is interesting. The guy behind the counter is very boisterous at times. Even cursing at the register when it decided to not work while ringing my purchase up. That is just his character though. Very nice and knowledgeable overall.
A clean, comfortable, and welcoming spot as an alternative to Specs. Certainly light years removed from some of the other shadowy liquor stores in the Heights and Washington area. I’ll be here more often.

When I don’t want to fight the insane in the membrane crowds at Spec’s in Midtown, I stop in Premier on Yale. I’ve been here several times, and every single time I’m greeted with a friendly HELLO. The people who work here are super cool, always making drink suggestions, or recommendations and asking you how your day was. I like that. It’s the small things like that that make me come back. They have a stellar selection of hard to find wine, and lots and lots of alcohol. If flavored vodka is your thing, then you will love this place. They have all the mixers including the Skinny Girl line (I love the grapefruit and peach margaritas) and some solid whiskey choices. Also, a wide variety of beer. The prices are decent, and I’m always able to get in and get out with no problem. Perfect little neighborhood liquor store.

I don’t want to be a Debbie Downer but this location is just alright.
I come in here fairly often, mostly on nights when the boyfriend and I want to play drinking games at home and beer won’t do.
I came here for a wine gift for a friend’s birthday. Their wine selection is rather poor. I was looking at $ 9.99 bottles of Pinot that jumped up to $ 60.00 bottles. No in between. Even with a request for assistance, we couldn’t find anything in the, «Hey, you’re a cool friend but I’m not in love with you» bottle of wine.
They chill half pints in the large cooler next to the counter. So if you’re a jäger or fireball fan. it’s ready for you.
The staff is out of this world I will say. They are always extremely helpful and friendly. I bullshit with the owner from time to time. Last visit he regaled stories of the New Years Eve madness that cleared their shelves.
I like this place. I really do. It just doesn’t have the selection I’m looking for when I’m in the mood to browse.

Hands down the best liquor store in Houston. Not only does premier liquor have a large selection but the service that Suraj (the owner) offers in top notch! Suraj has bar-​tending experience and knows his product. He offered me great advice and even greater prices when I purchased a few bottles in bulk from Premier Liquor. Make this your go to place for all your drink night needs!

One of the most expansive selections of scotch I’ve seen in the entire world. The only other two which come close are the duty free stores in Hong Kong and Singapore. This is a wonderful addition to the neighborhood; the two proprietors are friendly, responsive, and know their stuff. I look forward to revisiting often to see what new blends they are able to locate.

Not your corner package store.
Premier carries a huge selection of spirits (i.e. alcohol – not the ethereal kind), including the liquers, cordials, and bitters that the aspiring mixologist need to practice their dark arts. I’ve even found some hard-​to-​find items in that department here. The prices are pretty reasonable, as well… but you can’t beat this for convenience to the Heights/​Washington Corridor.
I’m the occasional cocktail drinker, so when I do buy the hard stuff I will often by smaller sizes. They have a good selection in that department. (For some reason the small sizes I associate with run-​down convenience stores with bars on the windows and people stopping for their fix of cigarettes and booze. This place not at all, it’s a class operation.)
They’ve got a fairly decent wine selection, too. I’d say in this department they are pretty standard with the better package stores I associate with the South.
The customer service here is great. Helpful, informative, friendly – indeed, downright charismatic. This place is premier in my book.

You know you have a problem when you review a liquor store on Unilocal…
I came in here one weekend with a long list of ingredients to make Mario-​themed shots. The recipes I found had very unusual liquor names that none of us were familiar with so we asked one of the employees. He was able to help out with a majority but there were still two left that he wasn’t sure about. He did some searching on his phone as well as called the owner of the store and was able to check off everything from my list.
I’m sure all of the guests were GRATEFUL that they were able to enjoy the Yoshi, Mario and Princess Peach shots I made later that night!

A good neighborhood liquor store. They have a great selection of both liquors and wines, and the place is neat and clean. Sometimes liquor store feel like they have stuff stuck in random places, but this is not the case here. It is well organized and doesn’t feel crowded. The prices are good, and the staff is friendly and helpful.

Premier Fine Wine and Spirits is a great local liquor store in a very convenient location. The staff is always very helpful and willing to help you make a selection if you are unsure of what you are looking for. I have only purchased liquor here so I can’t comment on another review regarding wine. They also have a large selection of smaller bottle of liquor which is great if you are needing something to cook with or just an add in to a cocktail so you aren’t having to buy full sizes when you don’t need them. They also have a large variety of mixers.

When my husband got a new job, I wanted to surprise him with a nice single malt scotch to celebrate. Trouble is, I had no idea what I was looking for or how to choose one. I went in to browse, and started chatting with the owner. Turns out, he’s a huge fan of scotch and extremely knowledgeable about the individual qualities of each type. He gave me a variety of options and talked me through each one until I was able to pick one that fit.
The store itself has a really wide selection of rare liquors and small batch/​small distillery brands. Lots of unique things to try and great personalized service! Definitely recommend.

I like this booze joint. There’s a pretty good selection of liquor and wine. The beer selection is a little less worthy of writing home about, but it’ll still do in a pinch. Not many gluten-​free or seasonal offerings, and it would be nice if there was a mix-​and-​match 6 pack option.
Unfortunately, the wine is quite a bit more expensive than Kroger or Specs. I imagine many of the same wines are even cheaper at the new Wal-​Mart across the street, but you have to sell your soul to go in there, so it may not be worth it. I’d like to see a weekly wine special or two that would bring the price down a couple bucks.
The owner is SUPER friendly and helpful, and the staff all seem happy and ready to help. I got an interesting lecture on the difference between brandy and Cognac during my last expedition… Because of the friendly workers and the convenience factor of it being right on my way home from work, I’ll definitely continue to frequent this place!
