    This is the best liquor store ever. The staff is great, the selection is fantastic (specifically for the wine - because that's what I am the most fond of), and the location is perfect. The parking lot is never full, and that's great because you wanna park nice and close when you have to carry a case of wine (but truth be told, they'll usually carry it for you if you're nice :)). Karen is the go-to girl for wine suggestions. She has forced some excellent wine on me, and for that I am grateful. The other great thing about them is the price. If you buy a couple bottles, then you get 10% off. 6+ is 15%. One day I decided that I'd try to go over to Specs (it IS close to my office). Mainly I wanted to get a cheap case. Well, to get a discount, I need to pay cash (I hate paying cash = no points). Additionally, the selection isn't really all that great. Sure they have MORE wine, but mostly wine that I wouldn't drink. So, I ended up walking out of there with only a case and paid ~$140. When I recalled what I spent when I went over to King Liquor on my 6-pack, I realized that the price was exactly the same... but at King Liquor I could use my credit card, AND I got excellent service and selection. Oh, the other reason I went for Specs was the chocolate... I'm a lover of dark chocolate - and their selection was weak at best. I didn't find a single one that got me excited. How on earth that is possible is beyond me: I guess that I have "odd" chocolate tastes? Crazy! So, a big fat thank you to the staff and selection over at King Liquor (maybe you could pick up some dark chocolate for me? :)). After the ho-hum experience at Specs, the only place I plan to go for wine is King Liquor. I have also been to other liquor stores for wine... and while they are pretty okay (Twin Liquors, others that I can't remember names for) - King Liquor by far the best.

    What Five Stars? because this place is exactly the kind of dive bar that makes Austin weird in the…read morebest possible way. Dirty Bill's is gloriously unapologetic. You walk in and immediately know you are not in some polished Instagram cocktail lounge. It is loud, a little gritty, and full of people who are clearly there to have a good time and not pretend otherwise. The beer is cold, the Lone Star flows like Texas water, and the vibe is pure old school Austin. And yes, the legendary bathroom situation deserves its own paragraph. The men's room features a giant ice filled trough for a urinal, which feels like something out of a 1970s roadside saloon documentary. Somehow it is both ridiculous and perfectly on brand. It actually becomes a conversation starter because you walk out laughing and immediately tell your friends they have to see it and go pee. The crowd was friendly, the bartenders were quick with the beers, and nobody was taking themselves too seriously. I ended up staying longer than planned, drinking Lone Stars and talking to random people like we had known each other for years. If you want craft cocktails served with a rosemary sprig this is not your place. If you want a hilarious, slightly chaotic, authentically divey night in Austin with cheap beer and great stories, Dirty Bill's absolutely delivers. Five stars and I would go back in a heartbeat.

    Dirty Bill's (gotta love the name) is literally right next door to J. Carvers where we had dinner…read more Dirty Bill's was on and popping!!! We were drawn in by the music. They were spinning some popular tunes. The place was packed with a very fun crowd. It appears to be a bar you come to have drinks and chat. There was a small area where dancing could take place, but no one was dancing at the time. The staff including the general manager was super friendly. It felt like a wedding reception as you came into the club where you were greeted...very warm and welcoming. We had a drink and stayed a short while. It looked like a place you could come for a girls or guys night out or celebrating a fun occasion. Will definitely consider Dirty Bill's for a future fun evening...
