Spec’s Wines Spirits & Finer Foods

It’s a Spec’s. It’s got its crappy, buzzy fluorescent lighting; the regulars with beer bellies out to here buying a pint of $ 7 whiskey; its strange yet interesting and kind staff of misfits dressed up in garb parading whatever holiday is happening now or next. This particular location has a decent selection of local Houston beers as well as Dallas selections. Save 5% if you pay with cash or debit.

You’d think because I live around the corner from Specs I’d be your friendly neighborhood wino. On the occasions that i do drink I love stopping in here because there’s always something new that I’d like to try.
Take this from a liquor, wine and a beer drinker (in that order). I’m no connoisseur by any means, but i like the choices Specs have to offer. Even during October when Pumpkinator is released, or when any seasonal beer or liquor is released this Specs usually has enough in stock and I’m usually pleased with that.
This is one of their bigger locations and compared to other liquor stores, Specs has so many more options from snack foods to drinking glasses, mugs and bottle openers, corkscrews and even a humidor for their cigars.
Yes, service is tip-​top and fast no matter how close to 9: pm you are and how many people are there getting ready for the fight or for the game.

This spec’s is nowhere near as large at the one downtown. But it’s a lot bigger than the one on memorial near memorial park. The customer service is on par with the one downtown, maybe even better since it’s a tad bit smaller. You may not find exactly what you’re looking for, but you’ll still find a friendly face to recommend something else you’ve never tried.

Everyone is so helpful here. I never have to wait for someone to assist me if I need it. Prices are very fair & whatever my budget for that particular week, I can always find something. I like to try the in store samples. It is not a huge store, but big enough to have a good selection and easy to navigate. The small humidor up front always works for my husband when we are in a time crunch & he does not have time to get to his favorite cigar shop.

I’m going to keep this one short and simple. One of the nicer Spec’s in town. Huge store. Clean. Lots of selections for liquor, wine, and beer. However, unlike the Spec’s on Westheimer or even downtown, the level of friendliness of the workers just wasn’t the same. Prices are the same with other Spec’s, obviously. So you know what to expect.

Not your Fathers’ Specs — its much smaller than the mother-​ship downtown. However, its JV, so you can still find a decent selection of wine and liquor.
There is a very tiny deli with some meats and cheeses, although not nearly the selection of the downtown location.
Overall, just a great place to go if you run out of champagne :)

I normally don’t give a business a 5-​star rating.
Over the years, Specs has consistently provided good service and an excellent selection of wines and spirits (liquor) to choose from in the Houston metro area.
Pretty much any Specs around town will have a huge selection of good wines. This particular store has a VERY good selection and a great Sommelier to boot.
We stopped by here on Saturday to pick up some early Christmas gifts.
During our shopping, we found ourselves in need of a bottle of Pinot Grigio. We just happened to run into Wendy, a wine specialist /​Sommelier at Specs. Not only did she make some excellent reccomendations, she was able to procure a wine box bearing my wife’s family name. She so pleasant to deal with and really made the experience that much better.
In addition to wine and spirits, Specs also has an excellent selection of cheeses and other perishable fine foods to choose from.
Just an all around good experience.
If you get a chance, also visit the Specs location on Main St., just south of downtown. It is the main location for Specs and has a HUGE selection of wine, cheese, foods and distilled spirits.

Been here multiple times. Good selection.

Friendly staff and always well stocked! I like testing the alcohols too! I know I’m gonna have a good day every time I leave this place. ;)
