Specs is the best in town. Great prices and excellent service.
You also save 5% when you pay by cash, check, or debit. The price tag list the regular price and the 5% discount price.

So, Specs has this thing where they post one price next to the item then ring you up for a higher price. When I asked what the deal is, they said that it is the price if you pay cash. I said that I thought that was deceptive, but said fine here’s my cash. But, for some reason, even with the managers help, they all of a sudden couldn’t re-​credit my credit card or take back the purchase as a return. So, I was baited and switched without a remedy. Bad deceptive business and/​or incompetent business that won’t get my business in the future even though I know their tricks.

Spec’s is a great store. If you enjoy wine, spirits, ale, or just want to grab a 6-​pack of the most mass produced beer we make, you can find what you’re looking for at Spec’s.
Spec’s also has a good selection of import snacks and other items that you might not find at the average grocery store. You can buy some fancy mustard made in Germany and a bag of Frito-​Lay potato chips if you choose.
Most importantly, the staff at Spec’s is always quick with a recommendation if asked. They must train their people very well because I’ve always gotten a good recommendation when I wanted to try something out of the ordinary. Give them a try! :)

All the times I’ve been here, there’s never been less than 5 people available to help. Everyone is knowledgeable and on the off chance they don’t know an answer, they know who does. Great people.

I have lived elsewhere in the state and was familiar with Spec’s before this location opened in Fort Worth. This was the first and in my opinion the best store in Fort worth. Their customer service is top notch. Their selction of beer and spirits are unmatched in the area. But their wine. THAT’S where this place excels. Total, Goody, Kings etc… have nothing on this store. They have told me that Spec’s works with many importers to bring in the best wines at the best price. If you are not asking the wine staff here for recommendations, you are missing out. They get to try all of the wines and know them well. I found my new favorite Napa Cabernet there: Prime Solum. And they have a Chateauneuf du Pape from really old vines called Pure that I bought. Holy cow, that wine changed my life. I wouldn’t have known about these wines if I hadn’t talked to the wine guys.
This is also the best looking Spec’s I have seen.

Wow this place has a great beer and wine selection!!! We left with some DogFish head beers and Blanche de Bruxelles beers as well as with some tasty French strawberry preserves from Paris.
I plan on returning again to rummage through their massive beer section.
I also have my eye on some imported olive oil. So great.
Staff was friendly and helpful.
Tip– everything is a little cheaper if you pay with cash. Which I never carry, so stop by an ATM on the way here.

Spec’s is a great liquor store. They have a large variety of liquors and fun foods to accompany them. I went in here the other day to pick up some Sake for a friend’s party and wanted to surprise my boyfriend with one of his favorite local brews. My request was very specific for a seasonal bottle of beer from Deep Ellum Brewery and I was unsure if they carried it.
The gentleman who assisted me said he thought he had one bottle upstairs and went up to look. Sure enough, he brought it to me and said that was the last one they would have until next February and gladly handed it to me. I was very impressed and my day was made (so was my boyfriend’s). This goes to show that the people here really care about their customers and go above and beyond to help them find what they want.
Don’t forget they give you a 5% discount if you use debit or cash here! Definitely recommend coming here for your liquor needs!

I went here with a couple friends, we went up and down just about every aisle and every inch to see all the choices and broad alcoholic choices. They had all my favorites like ANY kind of flavored Vodka, which is right up my alley. I don’t really drink dark liquor but whatever fits your fancy, I can guarantee they will probably have it here!
Also, I’m a HUGE fan of the pop Cheerwine, and they don’t sell it everywhere, mostly North Carolina area, and my friend found it where when she was shopping and it literally made my day!~
Spec’s also has a handful of aisles that have specialty items, like different olives, and cheeses even to try along with all the wines they offer.

You had me at free samples.
You had me at discounted liquor.
You completed the hat trick with 5% discount if you use cash, check, or debit.
It’s like walking around a Costco made for beer, liquor, and wine enthusiasts. The vendors are there to push their products, so they are urging you to get drunk in this store. The rep for Dos Lunas Silver was giving out samples of their tequila, and it was so good that I purchased a bottle for my Patron-​loving friend. The Dos Lunas Silver and Patron Silver are comparable in price, but I actually preferred the clean refreshing taste of Dos Lunas over the darker flavor of Patron. With a 5% discount, I’d highly recommend you stop by and pick up your favorite drink. Just remember to drive safely on the way home. Those free samples hit me all at once.

I have heard so much about Specs and this is a great place to shop. The selection is great and has a friendly helpful staff. The store is bright and spotlessly clean, but I was pretty annoyed however when trying to find a product the young man who was a stocker was busy juggling cases of liqueur while blabbering on his cell phone. He was busy talking away to his buddy about the tattoo he was about to go get. He wasn’t even able to do his job since one hand was busy holding the phone and balancing a case of booze. I had planned to ask him where something was but gave up when I could see he was oblivious to his surroundings and far too busy chatting away to be of any help to anyone. When I did find someone to help me I mentioned the stocker and he said «well he doesn’t work for me». I can only assume that the kid must belong to the store manager who apparently doesn’t care what he does. If this is what the world is coming to we are in bad shape. I personally think that employees chattering away on cell phones is not acceptable and is a poor reflection on any business. I was otherwise happy with the store.

This store was my first Specs experience. Love it. Staff is friendly. Great selection. Humidor. Cheese, crackers and such. I loooove the craft beer selection. They also carry a good variety of ciders. I’ll usually go to the newer location on Bryant Irvin — but that’s only because it’s near work for me AND I hate the traffic on Hulen with the construction! I’ll go here if it’s after 7:00 pm to miss the crowd.

Pay with cash/​debit card for the advertised lower price, which is, ironically, standard price. Whatevs. They save me a trip from going all the way to Camp Bowie when I need booze. I heard you get rewards and stuff via e-​mail, but we registered when this place opened and haven’t heard gotten anything yet. They try to have broad appeal and run the full gamut of standards to classy. They even have a cooler full of cheese to go with that wine, and other random wine pairings (escargot platter anyone?).
If you want cheap booze, the cheap close option is, surprisingly, Trader Joe’s. Go there and tell me that you’ve never seen Chimay cheaper, or wine for $ 3! I dare you.

I had a pretty great time at Specs, and it’s not just because I had so many samples! Went here on a Saturday and it was busy, busy, busy. No big deal though — the place is laid out well. You can get around easily, aisle though aisle, even if you need a shopping cart like I did. Specs isn’t just a liquor store — you know! They have a pretty wide variety of cheeses, deli meats, olives, crackers, chips, jams and spreads, pickled items, sardines, and anchovies. The whole left side of the store is basically an hors d’œuvre heaven… great items to pair with the perfect wine or beer you’re bound to find.
Speaking of wine and beer (and liquor too, duh) — Specs has lots to offer. It may not be the most unique selection, but there were definitely a few hidden treasures. We found The Temptress by Lakewood Brewing, which I haven’t seen in another store yet! You’ll find all your regulars in great supply and for great deals at that, so don’t pass Specs by.
On top of all these marvelous points, Specs had several drawings going on while I was visiting. They were giving away 25 $ gift cards like there was no tomorrow! Also, a few Texas locals were there promoting their own crafts. Shout out to Silver Star Whiskey and Cap Rock Winery!

Love this place. They had a bottle of wine that we had been told couldn’t be sold in Texas. Prices are good and they offer cash discount. Employees are knowlegeable and are happy to help you or recommend something.

Wow! Tremendous selection of just about everything beverage related, and a special nod to the whiskey, bourbon, and rye available. It seems that everywhere I look in Fort Worth, stores have different supplies available when it comes to spirits choices… but this location’s long aisles seem to give it the edge in truly running the gauntlet of needs and wants. I particularly have been able to find some off the beaten path items here, and for me, that’s reassuring.
Know your prices though… This can be tough, but being in the industry, I can tell you that Goody Goody, Majestic, Spec’s, Total Wine and more all carry many of the same products, but some just organize better deals than others. Drive around and shop to figure out which are best at each location…

Friendly staff… not as big as the ones in H-Town…but definately worthy of a walk around and a few «ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhs» Prices are comp and parking is easy… way better than Cent. I wish the deli selection was that of the bigger stores… but hey… it is a great addition to the area.

Spend any time in a Specs pretty much anywhere and you’ll recognize the hallmarks of same chain straightaway: tucked away humidor, aisles after aisles of liquor, mixers, a reasonably sizable beer section and an assortment of wines to match. I last recall this location as its previous incarnation (an electronics store), and worth noting that Spec’s threw together this location pretty quickly. They opened today and seems like the word hasn’t completely gotten around the neighborhood.
Know that for all the selection I didn’t see as many eccentric or interesting beers as I would have preferred (I saw a few, but more is always better), and while there’s a well populated wine curation on hand, there are a number of those I saw that were pretty run of the mill. When I was checking out, though, the clerk mentioned that they were still putting the finishing touches on all they planned to do, so perhaps there are some surprises left in their bag of tricks yet. Either way, a welcome addition to Hulen.
