Frugal MacDoogal Wine & Liquor Warehouse

When I have a little extra time to do my liquor/​wine shopping, I always head to Frugal MacDoogal. It is not the most convenient location for me and I try to avoid the weekend because that parking lot can get CRAZY but in my experience, they have the best prices in town.
On a recent trip, I found Velvet Devil Merlot (one of my favs) on sale for $ 11.99 when it is normally priced between $ 13-​$ 15 per bottle. Also, if you purchase a case of wine (same type) you will receive a 10% discount. Frugal’s stocks a wide variety of wine, liquor, beer and they even have a growler bar with a nice selection including local brews.
Frugal MacDoogal is a great place to stock the bar, fill your wine cabinet or buy gifts especially at Christmas time because they always have great gift sets and limited edition bottles.

So much selection and the guy that checked us out was super friendly!

Bought all our wine, liquor and beer from here for my daughters wedding. Will Horton heped us pick out the right wines and liquor. We were able to return the unused wine which was awesome. Unfortunately the bar staff had previously cut the tops off some of the bottles before they were opened and they couldn’t be returned. Make sure they don’t do that at your event! The manager was really nice about it and waived the restocking fee and gave us the full price on the return. Great place to buy your alcohol for any event in Nashville.

This place is legit. I personally think it’s the best liquor store in town. I’ll come in here knowing exactly what I want, but still find myself wandering around the store checking out all the different selections they have. They aren’t guaranteed to always have exactly what you’re looking for (if it’s rather specific), but their prices are always really cheap compared to most places.
They’ve also got a cheese and sausage area, for those who love to buy their food where they buy their grain alcohol.

Above average selection and good to great prices make this place an excellent choice for your spiritual needs. They don’t have all my favorites, but they stock enough of them that I never leave empty handed.
One question I have for Tennesseeans in the know: Why is Johnnie Walker Black so expensive here? Not Frugal’s fault. I see similar pricing at every other liquor store I have visited in this state.

My favorite place in town to get alcohol. Lots of parking, loss of different brands, always lots of helpful staff around for me to ask questions or when needing a recommendation. I’m a huge beer fan and love visiting at different times throughout the year to see what’s in season. I was super excited when they started filling growlers and even offering samples. They don’t have my favorite sparkling wine, Cupcake prosecco, so have to go elsewhere for that. The only downside in my book.

Not very friendly staff. The place sells cigars but doesn’t offer matches or a free cutter. If you’re going to sell cigars and not cheap ones, then I would think you’d offer these things. Was just given a bad attitude from the staff and some had no idea what I was talking about.

My review can only speak for the keg department as that is all i have purchased from here. I have now purchased 3 pony kegs here all with extreme ease. Don at the keg /​tasting counter was beyond helpful. He even gave me tips on improving my home kegerator and even explained how to add a second tap. You can order a huge variety of kegs on Tuesday and pick them up Friday. They always carry my keg out and place it in my car without having to ask. Great variety Great service = 5 Stars!

I have always gone here to buy my liquor because of their reasonable prices. However, after today, I will no longer shop there. We were looking for a location to buy 30 handles of liquor for our wedding (approximately $ 1000 worth of alcohol). We live about 45 minutes away, so I called to ask for the price of Titos and Jack Daniels. When I asked the attendant, he said rudely they were too busy and I would have to drive to the store to find out. As I started to state that we live too far away, his rude tone escalated and he hung up on me. If this were a $ 30 order, I wouldn’t bat an eye at his attitude, but I don’t feel like spending $ 1000 at a place that can’t take 1 minute to kindly answer a question. I also will not be ordering my kegs for the wedding here either.

Huge selection of drinks and amazing prices.
However, one of the staff started arguing with me about bourbon as soon as I walked in and it was super weird. I would say staff should be helpful and informative, and not argue with paying customers for no reason.

Frugal has got it goin on. The staff are always friendly and helpful– especially Larry! He’s my man. I’ve never left without finding what I was looking for.
Great growler fill prices, but I wish they had tasting cups more often. I don’t like to commit without a taste.

Checked out this warehouse while in Nashville, TN when the Yazoo brewery was sold out of our favorite beer. They have a wide selection of beverages– with a large selection of local brews which I appreciated. There were long lines of people at this location when we visited, but they moved very quickly and the employees were efficient and friendly. It appears they also do kegs at this store (though we were not in the market for that item). Really the only negative was the parking lot which definitely did not have enough spaces and was in need of repair. Great employees, prices, and selections overall.

Stopped by this Great liquor store last month on vacation with husband & family. Über driver recommend the store too! Good prices overall & great selection. Not open on Sunday’s. Weird for
Coloradans & a Michiganian (where liquor, beer &
Wine are sold in grocery stores, Crazy!) We met the
Owner of Frugals & he was very nice.
Not an easy place to walk to, so use your car or call Über.

Frugal MacDoogal is my go to for liquor in Nashville. You cannot beat their prices, especially when they’ve got an item on sale. I’m so happy that they were able to TEAR DOWN THAT WALL that was separating the wine/​hard liquor from the beer section. I’ll never understand the liquor laws & why they had to have them separate. I guess since they’ve passed that wine in grocery stores, the law allows both to be sold in the same area.
The store is huge. It can be a little hairy trying to find a parking spot on the weekend, but the time people spend inside usually isn’t long so you don’t have to wait long to get a parking spot, but there is the awkward parking lot jockeying for a spot. The checkout area seems larger than before, maybe because they’ve got the whole store to check out. The beer selection here is huge, well I say that but I don’t drink or buy beer much. Tons of wine & lots of whiskey/​bourbon options which make me happy. I like to go in and buy a different bottle to try.
The staff is always friendly & they’ve always got staff on the floor stocking or walking around to help you with your questions. They’ve also got a monthly newsletter I get in my email that tells me of the upcoming tastings in store & of the different items on sale as well as new product. The only place I’ve seen liquor cheaper than here is at Sams Club in Kentucky where my family is from. The laws there allow Sams to directly sell it, making it a little cheaper, but I like to shop here to help a local business & the community. That’s why I drink. (Sarcasm)

When ya get me thinking, «Miami did it better,» I get a bit cranky. And, in all fairness, this is probably a case of unfairly heightened expectations. Y’see, everyone I’d met (up to that point) told me that the booze purchasing experience I’d been waiting for was waiting for me at FM. ‘It’s all in one! They have everything!’ Okay. Cool. Great. I hadn’t been a fan of the separation of boozey goodness that makes up the Nashville beer, wine & liquor scene. I know it’s no one’s fault but the legislature’s but moving back to Nashville after so many years away — and where I can buy what I want with selection & impunity — is annoying.
So, it came to pass that a Saturday found me with time to, finally, make my way to FM and… this is it? It’s one large room. Granted, it’s a really big room… but one large room. For the size, I found the beer selection to be inadequate. Again, I can read. I know the name sez ‘wine & liquor warehouse.’ Thing is, if you’re the biggest and baddest, I expect the biggest & baddest. There are more than a few smaller stores serving up better selections and service. Yep, I said service. I guess it was my bad luck but the two folks with whom I spoke couldn’t have been less interested in helping me out. The first gentleman was the beer expert who looked nonplussed to confused when I mentioned my desire to make my own six pack of red ales. From the singles/​loose collection, I was unable to do so. I soon gave up on beer and decided to try my hand at wine. The selection/​quality was much much better but when it came to searching for a salesperson to answer some questions and help me out, I was left with nada. So, I left with nada. No sale. I’m sure FM offers a fantastic wine & spirits experience for some and that (coupled with the size of the store) leaves me at a 2.5÷3 rating… but I doubt I’ll be back. For my purchasing needs, there are other places in town that are doing it better.

Good selection but the prices weren’t much of a bargain. 6-​packs of some of my favorite craft beers were priced higher than I can get them other places.

Lowest prices we’ve found on all the staples we love. End of story.

Being from Alabama I haven’t been anywhere that compares. We have ABC (Alabama Alcoholic Beverage Control) stores that are close as far as pricing but does not sell wine or beer. Also, I’m not familiar with TN liquor laws.
I found this store to offer a great selection of specialty liquor, wine, and craft beers. Decent prices and a great helpful staff. A decent sized store with enough room to walk/​browse. I liked how there were samples of whiskey the day I went. The parking situation was pretty bad. The amount of spaces to store size/​traffic volume did not match up. We had to find some makeshift spaces. I noticed a tap area in the back of the store where you can purchase beers. I didn’t purchase anything but what can be wrong with beer on tap?

I’ve been to the best booze stores on earth, this is not the best, however it’s just about as close as you can get without doubling the size of the place and changing local liquor laws.
I hate the parking, that’s the only real issue I have with the place. If you’re there on a rainy day there’s always going to be the person spinning out on the downside of the hill attempting to get out.
The incline can also present issues if you’re stocking up for a party, so make sure you park appropriately.
Reading through the reviews I have really nothing much to add except I’ve never had a bad experience there or felt like someone else in the store was planning on making it a bad experience.
You can also take photos with a golden Jack Daniels on a park bench, so it’s got that going for it too.

Oh, I adore Frugal MacDoogal. First of all… it’s my second favorite liquor store name only to Mr. Whiskers. hehe. Whiskers.
Frugal has EVERYTHING and at significantly lower prices. I’ve found some «discount» liquor stores have the name but not the prices to back it up. (Sorry DISCOUNT West End liquors… you aren’t really discount). Anywho, I love going to Frugal and checking out the wine. I made the unfortunate decision to stop in at 5:00 on New Years Eve, and I was pleased that even on a day where champagne/​sparkling wine was on high demand they offered a great deal on bottles. Plus they offered a bottle of one of my favorite reds at $ 5 cheaper than most guys. Heart!
Granted, I haven’t really asked for help here; so I don’t know how customer service is besides the check out people, but I find that this place is spectacular when you know what you want and are trying to get a deal!
