Main Street Liquor Market

The staff is super knowledgeable and helpful and their selection is excellent. The best liquor store in East Nashville.

The guys who run the store were super helpful with their whiskeys and crazy friendly to us out of towners. We’ll be back next time we’re in Nashville!

This liquor store has the best beer selection in East Nashville. The prices aren’t quite as good as some other places, but the selection and service is why I come here.

Don’t know enough to say how the prices compare with other stores but I found the staff to be helpful and while it’s not a super large liquor store they generally had what I needed. I’ll stop in again I’m sure!

Don’t let the exterior scare you away. It appears a tad sketchy, and maybe it is, but the beer selection is decent, the wine selection is plentiful, and holy moly are there a ton of REALLY good deals on liquor! We saw bottles on sale for $ 12 from $ 50 as well as a bunch of $ 5 deals. Not a huge difference, but we saved $ 2 off a bottle of Buffalo Trace bourbon compared to the price at Sinkers. I’ll be back!

They have a surprisingly large selection of wine… which I was in the market for! I wasn’t there long when a very nice employee helped me search for a wine that I only knew what picture was on the lable! Lol he even searched for it on his phone. I got two bottles and was on my way for only $ 20! The place looks a little sketchy but its alright!

It’ll do just fine in a pinch. One thing I got used to in Miami (gah! Saying something nice about that place… it burns!) was my go-​to liquor store: Total Wine. Beyond some people I’ll miss very much, Total Wine is what I miss the most about living in Miami. Yep, that’s right: a liquor store.* Not only was it cavernous in size, it had the biggest selection of craft beer singles around. That’s right: you could make your own six-​pack with every sort of (single) beer from everywhere in the world. I’ve been looking (in vain) for a Nashville equivalent.**
Realizing that I’ll probably never realize my liquor store nirvana in the Music City (at least until the liquor laws catch up with the population), I’ve settled in to exploring liquor stores around town to see what will become my new go-​to. Main Street is in my neighborhood and is of a decent size. Yes, it looks a bit imposing from the outside but you need to understand that Edgefield didn’t have many outside inhabitants until fairly recently. This hipster thing… yeah, that wasn’t here. Anywhoo, I came in looking for beer and wound up being disappointed. Through no fault of its own, my dream of creating a ‘high gravity’ (already tired of that term) six pack would not come to pass here. Down, but not out, I decided to see what else Main Street has to offer. The answer is: a lot. The wine selection is deceptively large. The spirit selection made me nod (and had decent-​enough, if not awesome, prices) and the juice/​soda section got a thumbs up from me. I came in for beer and left with vodka. It happens. As a neighborhood liquor store (not destination), Main Street more than gets the job done. I’ll be back.
*That should tell you everything you need to know about that city.
**I may have found a decent sub. More visits will be necessary.

I thought I had written a review on this place, years ago!
I go here for their wine specials… their prices go up from time to time; they’re now at 3 bottles of wine for $ 15.00 (I think)
Lots of California wines, some Washington state wine, some Australian wines in those display racks at the front of the store.
Their prices are comparable to the other liquor stores in town.
Good selection on scotch, tequila, whiskey.
Some good beers in the cold lockers.
Staff is real nice and they always say hello to me when I walk in.

This place has seriously improved over the last year or so. They carry so many awesome beers now and they will be the cheapest prices you will find on them.
They are also very helpful if you have a question or will even try to order a specific beer that you want, if available.

Huge selection, great prices, can’t go wrong with Main Street!

Not being a east nashvillian, I didn’t really know where to go for wine. I work in the area and needed to grab a couple bottles on my way home. After passing wiess and here multiple times going to and from work, I decided on Main Street. So glad I did! They carry my favorite wine (gazela-​vino verde) which I have a hard time finding ANYWHERE consistently. Not only that, it’s 3/​$ 21.99! I purchased all the wine for my wedding and for thanksgiving this year here. The staff is always welcoming and ready to help.

Having a break from Weiss. larger selection of everything here but particularly hitting on the Fox Barrel Cider. Easy to park,

Main Street is a great place to go when you want a wide selection of liquors without the fuss of a high-​end retailer. Prices are reasonable, and the staff is eager to help. One employee was happy to explain the bourbon selection at length when we were in need of something specific but didn’t know our options. I know that I can find just what I’m looking for at Main Street.
I’m going to have to check out the super bargains in the back – that’s where the real savings are!

Since moving to Nashville, I’ve visited this fine establishment twice, and plan on going back for any future high-​proof purchases.
The first visit saw several employees fetching bottles from around the store in response to every one of my «do you have?» questions. Then, they helped me pick out a nice bottle of wine to further my fiancé’s illusion that I know anything about fermented and bottled grape juice.
The second time around was even better. After seeing a bit on scotch whiskey from the Islay island of Scotland on CBS Sunday morning, I asked an employee about some of the different varieties they carry. Unable to answer my question, he promptly called another employee at home from his cell phone and handed it to me. «I don’t know Scotch, but this guy does. Talk to him.» After we talked for a few minutes, I had some solid recommendations, good insights, and a new bottle of scotch. It was good.
Incidentally, I think that may be a sign of getting old, when you start replacing the Captain Morgan’s with scotch. I will, however, hold onto my youth by keeping a bottle of bad decisions, (a.k.a. Jagermeister), in my freezer. And I’ll buy it at Main Street Liquor Market.

This place was banana pants on Thanksgiving eve. Someone told me earlier in the day that they planning on being open till 11:00 or even later to sell stuff to last minute Holiday nincompoops like me. When I arrived I was asked several times by several different employees if I needed help finding anything, so within 30 seconds I knew exactly where the refrigerated hard apple cider was located seven times over. It was borderline frantic in there the employes were passing peoples debit and credit cards back and forth to the card machines and having people sign receipts on top of cases of whiskey — no joke. Their parking lot is like a Bombay intersection except there are drunks involved.
In the end I got what I wanted and was out within 10 minutes. They’re cold section seems a lot more promising than Sinkers, which is closer to my house. So as long as I don’t mind the frantic vibe I think Main Street is okay.

Liquor of all shapes and sizes, but not on Sunday. Their selection is above average, and these guys get 4-​stars for not giving me so much as a judgmental smirk for buying pints of whiskey at 10am…

my go to place!
Near my house, has good prices, broad selection, and sometimes they’ll be real nice and give me an even better deal, probably because they see me often.

Ah yes, my go-​to liquor store in East Nashville. Much better than the place down the street, closer to downtown – that place is toooo sketchy!
I really like this place. The guys who work there are nice, and don’t make snarky comments like, «Gonna have a fun time tonight, are ya?» when I buy my two 1.5 L bottles of wine (for the month, thank you!). They have a great selection of wines and liquors, and, as others have mentioned, have some great specials on wine. I will say, however, to try these wines at your own risk – I’m not a wine snob, but there are times when I’ve brought home a bottle or two from this place and haven’t been able to drink it. Maybe one of the guys working there could help? I never think to ask… I usually go for stuff I know rather than being adventurous, but if you’re a risk taker that’s not picky about the wine, then this place is for you!

I don’t know what hiked up prices others speak of, but this place is a gem of a bargain bin.
I recently went in here with the lure of 3 wines for $ 13.99, based on another Unilocaler’s Unilocal.Lo and behold, I walked out with 3 wines (merlot/​cab) for $ 10. Take that! And they turned out to be pretty darn decent.
Definitely not swanky or high end, but does everything have to be just for some inexpensive wine? While I can certainly enjoy a $ 100 bottle of wine, but for my nightly glass of red, a $ 10 bottle is a-​okay. Besides, who buys an expensive merlot anyways?
There was a lot of variety and varying price tags for wines and liquors. They even carry a handful of high proof beers. (I was told if a beer has over 10% alcohol it can be sold at liquor stores.)
With a beer store right next door, you really can’t beat the convenience. Plus, the guys behind the counter seemed able and willing to help, and looked like they could take care of things if there was a breach in security of any type.

Good ol’ Main Street Liquor Market is not too shabby after all.
Is it in a somewhat seedy neighborhood? Sure. It’s a liquor store! It’s not like I am getting a massage at a spa or dropping off my imaginary kid at daycare?! It’s in a city neighborhood that does have homeless people and household incomes that don’t breach the top 40 percentile of the tax bracket either… who cares? I am buying liquor and have never felt in danger. Did I mention that it’s right next door to my gym, Gym 5? A nice 45 minute stretch on the treadmill and some ab crunches should be rewarded with a large crumpled brown paper bag, no?
Once you get over the neighborhood snobbery, you get to enjoy 3 bottles of wine for $ 13.99 plus tax. I AM SERIOUS! You can also upgrade to nicer selections of vino at 3 for $ 21 as well. Mama’s getting snockered tonight! You may mix and match from the front few rows of wine which are all decent wines. Enjoy them throughout the week or gift a bottle when attending a dinner party. I’ve only had 2 bottles that were awful from the MANY trips that we have made. I should notate that many of the wines that are part of these specials are being served at Nashville’s finest dining establishments for $ 6-​$ 8 a glass. My financial planner is so proud!
In regards to liquor and beer, the prices seem to be in-​line with everyone else and the selection is good. If you visit the back of the store, there is almost always a sales bin if you’re not afraid to experiment with your liver.
It’s not the most posh liquor store in the world but you will certainly run into bums, hipsters, and soccer moms who all don’t give a damn either.
