Spec’s Wines, Spirits, & Fine Foods

One of the better Spec’s in town.
Last time I was here was to stock up for NYE pre-​party at the hotel before hitting the bars.
Knowledgeable staff work here. I wanted to try a new kind of whiskey, the guy who was helping me out started showing me these different kinds of whiskeys and telling me all about the flavors and whatever up to the point I was like, «whoa! information overload, dude!!»
The lady who was helping my friend with the champagne was equally knowledgeable and helpful. Her recommendations were pretty on point.
I’m not coming back here too often since this one location is actually kind of out of my way and there are a couple of Spec’s that are much closer to where I live. However, if you’re close to here, drop in and stock up.
As always, pay with your debit card and get a discount. Don’t forget to bring your Spec’s key card also to get special pricing (when applicable).

Great place for all of your alcoholic needs. They have everything that you can imagine. Different choices on liquor, wines, and beers. They also have accessories that you may need like wine bottle openers, glasses, shot cups and etc. The staff here is amazing and very knowledagble.

Excellent Specs! We came here looking to bring something for a Christmas party and the staff was able to lead us to the right bottles. They were very friendly and knowledgeable. We ended up buying a some champagne and a nice beer gift set including a beer glass. Perfect place for gifts and drinks for a house party!
The store is not as big as the one in mid town but they still sell cheeses, cigars, and other non alcoholic items too.
–Use cash or debt card to get the discount!

Good selection of everything from beer to wine to liquor, helpful staff that seem to know a lot about all the products. What else could you want?!

I checked out and forgot my ID in the car. The cashier told me in a rude voice to «hurry up.» I will not come back, and neither will my friends. Done.

5% discount when you pay with cash or check.
There’s not much to say here. It’s a liquor store that has pretty much everything you can think of with several locations around town. They have so much stuff it can get a little confusing if you are looking for one particular item, but the employees are quite knowledgeable and willing to help.
I don’t get much alcohol so I can’t tell you if the prices are reasonable or not, but from what I am told they are ok.

It is located in front of the Home Depot on feeder road. It has a large liquor selection but not as large a selection of beer as compared to other locations. This location also has small aisles. The employees were very courteous with me when I needed help finding a few things. Plus it was at this location that I was introduced to Maple Jim Beam… so yummy, it is like having pancakes covered in maple syrup in your mouth. Drool…

They have SOJU. And the one that’s higher proof than the soju they have in the groceries, like at Hmart. (They do not, however, have any makkeolli, just fyi, in case you needed to know.)
There’s like 3 different kinds of soju available here.
Love trying the samples and all the different beers they have.

Wine is a great gift. If you are shopping for me I prefer Bordeaux (red only) years 05′ 07′ 09′… Demerick was very kind and helpful and the staff is always willing to go above and beyond for their customers. Love this place!

After looking at several places for Cristal beer for a function I stopped by this location Spec’s. The have a wide variety and the staff was extremely helpful. Seeing that I was wandering the store, a friendly associate approached me and asked if they could help. They not only located what I needed at their store, but also took the time to call another store to have some held for me. That is my idea of customer service.

Friendly staff and easy to find items, very convenience to the spring branch and memorial area. The guys have recommended some fantastic wines.

I love Specs… any Specs, I love it… well not all but 98% of them I love.
This one was great, the location is easy to find, plenty of parking. The store is well lit, clean, the staff is always helpful and kind. I’ll be back!

You can’t beat Spec’s and the wine guys know their stuff. You are always greeted at the door and asked if they can help you. It is great place to shop for all of your adult beverage choices. Also, the cheese lady was very helpful in selecting a couple yummy cheeses. Great place that we frequent very often.

I came here to purchase a very large amount of wine and wine glasses for work.
Tommy, the manager, was able to fullfill my large order the next day. They did not have as many glasses as we needed, so he had some sent directly from the warehouse. I really appreciated how quickly we were able to place the order. I will be sure to hit up this location more often, as it’s close to my office anyway.

Love me some spec’s! Great wine selection and great prices. Expanding selection of craft beers. Knowledgeable staff are always happy to help. One stop shopping if you are having a party and making specialty cocktails.

I frequent 3 Spec’s and this one is by far my favorite. The one thing I really like about it is that they always have a great selection of local beers available and at good prices. Plus, the staff is always helpful!

Beer aficionados, come here and ask for Rudy. He orders the beer selection for this store, as he used to work in the midtown location. That’s why they have ~10 coolers full of beer with the aisle across from it all fully stocked as well. Check out the featured beers, as well as trying out some Belgains!
He knows his stuff!
And as always, bring cash or use debit card to save 5% off!

Huge selection! The second biggest Spec’s I’ve been to (after the main Midtown location). And clean and new on top of it.

This Spec’s is a brand new location and larger than most.
I stocked up on a ridiculous amount of liquor here for a party recently. The staff was very attentive and the manager even offered to order a particular sake I was looking for.
They have a large selection of imported cheeses and other food items. We sampled a wonderful French soda in a fancy cork bottle. Oh it was good and paired perfectly with some French vodka!
This Spec’s is on my way home so I am sure I will be visiting often.

They have a free wine chilling service, that’s 24 times faster than a refrigerator. Frankly, the contraption looks like a cool tub for wine bottles, complete with jets. I have no idea how it chills the wine, yet it is a convenient complimentary service to provide. Any bottle that’s at room temperature can be chilled pronto.
This is one their larger locations; it has several types of foods that would compliment wine. My mouth watered when I saw Shock Top. The selection of beer is nice. They even have some lesser known varieties I’d like to try the rasberry wheat beer.
While I was there, I spotted an adorable well designed picnic basket, that proves undisputedly, to me, that going on a picnic can be 100% romantic. See picture. The top holds utensils and plates flat against the lid, leaving plenty of room for drinks and goodies. Anyone who shares food from a picnic basket like that would feel special.
I have been watching them move into the retail space over the past couple of weeks. Each time I’d pass by, I’d say to myself, «I can’t wait until this location is open». If someone was riding with me and we passed Spec’s I’d say, «I can’t wait until that location of Spec’s is open». 16 days ago I was finally able to say, «Have a look… It’s open now!» I am soooo happy that I have a Spec’s that’s closer than Bunkerhill.
I found it rather strange that this location sells flip flops. It makes me want to raise my hand, as if in a court setting, and say Objection your honor, relevance. I suppose folks want to be comfortable when they’re drinking and eating.
Spec’s has both value and variety. It’s the first place I call when I am looking for a rare alcoholic beverages. I am happy that they’ve opened a new store closer to home.
