Macadoodles - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

It pains me to write this, but after tonight I have to. We've been going to Macadoodles for years, and they used to be great. Our last 4 visits though have been terrible. One visit, on a weekday, we visited when they were apparently really short staffed. The workers made sure to tell us all about it and even seemed annoyed that we were taking them away from their jobs when we wanted to check out. Another time, when I asked about one of my favorite craft bourbons that they used to carry, the clerk went on to say that they didn't have it any more and basically gave me a big explanation about how that brand just wasn't very good. I appreciate that everyone has their own tastes, but flat out insulting a small craft brand, that one of your customers really likes, isn't the best way to make more sales. Then tonight's experience...My wife and I stopped by to restock. I don't like my kids to stay in the car by themselves, especially in certain parts of Springfield, that have a larger homeless population. Nothing against them personally, but when they're walking around loudly talking to themselves, why grabbing their junk, I'd rather not leave my kids alone in the car. So on this night, we had our teenage son come in with us. Didn't buy anything crazy, my wife likes Mike's and I got a new local beer from SBC. When we got to the counter, my son touched one of those small bottles of liquor they have at the counter. He didn't pick it up, but he did turn it to see what the label said. The clerk immediately stopped the transaction and asked for his ID. We told her that he wasn't 21, but she wanted to see it anyway, so he showed it to her. She then informed us that she would not serve us, because he touched a bottle and he wasn't 21. I was totally confused, so I asked why, and she told me it was state law? She said that she had suspicions that we were buying alcohol for him. Huh? Do you get a lot of husband/wife teams in buying for minors? She wouldn't budge, so we ended up having to leave. VERY embarrassing, especially on a busy evening in a crowded store. Really sucks, because my brother-in-law and I frequently went on bourbon hunts in this store and left with 5-6 bottles of bourbon on multiple occasions. One less store for me to hunt now! Do yourself a favor and hit Brown Derby instead. Their staff is a lot nicer and the prices are usually a little cheaper. read more

Excellent service and welcoming staff on E. Independence! A fun place to try new things and the staff will guide you on whatever it is you might fancy. read more

Macadoodles - Taste testing for a new ready to drink (RTD) canned beverage that is not a selzter! All fresh ingredients and delicious! - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

Wasn't in the place for 2 minutes, approached by an employee, was told that I needed to buy something! I was going to spend money there and spend time with family but, this person decided to try embarrassing me for some reason. Wow,sad that they think this OK behavior of their employees. I guess she thought that I didn't have enough money to hang out at the gas station! read more

Slow checkout. 20 minutes as the attendant and the store manager fumbled thru their new computer system. Very irritating and prices keep going up. read more

Awesome customer service. Bartender Lukas is the man. Always fun and educational. I have a great time everytime I go there.

Honestly they have been the worst place to try to work with to place a bulk order for a wedding. No one wants to help you at all and they want you to basically just give them a credit card and with no limit on it, and if you aren't willing to do that, then you are no longer an important customer to them. I tried to work with LeAnn who is their event manager, and she wouldn't help me or answer any of my questions unless I paid the $100 deposit, so I then called and talked to someone named Melanie at the North Springfield store and she was even less help than LeAnn. They expect you to just place an open order, they don't have a price sheet or a product guide to help you decide on your order. So there is no planning a wedding budget with them. I wish I could leave an even worse review, or leave a review on their website, but this seems to be the best I can do. 10/10 would not recommend for anyone who has an actual budget or who wants to try to plan around a budget. read more

Macadoodles has a great selection, I went there looking for a new drink that came out and they had it where as most stores don't, so I will say I like them for their wide selection. However, since I wasn't sure what section the drinks would be in I asked an employee. They did not seem happy to help me find what I was looking for. After grabbing the drinks I headed to the register and before I could even set anything down they asked for my I.D. I understand I look young and it's your job to ask for an I.D but let me set my stuff done first so I can grab it. And like I said I know I look young but that doesn't mean you have to make my visit unpleasant just because you think I'm underage (which obviously I wasn't) So a word of advice, maybe don't Judge on appearance, I mean after all I am a customer and should be treated nicely. read more

Tried to utlize their delivery service. Seems to be false advertisement. Maybe the employees are to lazy to answer the phones, or management is incompetent. Either way go to Brown Derby. read more

This place is great. I was looking for the special "Blues Championship" Bud Light bottles, and they went above and beyond to let me know when, how many, and how much they would be. Great service! read more

Macadoodles, I'm about to write you a love list. That's not really a thing, but I'm about to make it one and it's going to be a love letter in list form because that's how I roll. Why do I love you, Macadoodles? Let me explain. 1. You have a bar. A BAR IN THE LIQUOR STORE. So much brilliance. 2. You have an awesome bartender (Hi Bryce!) who makes the legit, best bloody mary in Missouri. It was voted as such, I'm not making this up. 3. Wait, you're pet friendly? Yep. I didn't know this so Woody Dog hasn't come out with us, but I did love on a nice lady's pitbull at the bar. It's not weird, I swear. 4. Such an amazing selections of all things boozy. From the California wines I was really worried about never seeing again after leaving my home in the golden state, to the awesome craft beers I got attached to while living in the PNW, and don't even get me started on all the glorious midwestern whiskey and bourbon. It's all here and from what I can tell, all reasonably priced. Great, now I'm thirsty... read more

Please don't tell Brown Derby but I may be cheating on them. Ok, I'm cheating on BD a lot since Macadoodles has a much better wine and beer selection, more knowledgeable and friendly staff, and they give you funny presents for buying a lot of hooch. Macadoodles is a little treasure. It's housed in an unassuming and faux-rustic gas station building but inside, alcoholic paradise awaits you. This place has a huge range of any type of wine at any price point, some great imported beers and a very well priced hard liquor section. I'm mostly here for the wine. The staff in the Wine Center is amazing. They will give you exactly what you are looking for, they listen to you and they will even let you taste the wine before buying. And by tasting, I mean a generous and repeated half-a-glass swig. They will also order products for you if they don't have in stock. I fell in love with a wine in South America and the sommelier at Macadoodles tracked it down for me and ordered a case even though nobody in the US has been able to do it! Finally, the gifts. It may be that I'm a part of their frequent flier program but they gave me a couple of wine glasses and a fancy red Solo cup with a crystal base. Along with the aforementioned generous tastings. Oh, and they have cooking classes. I'm sure I'm forgetting some awesome part of Macadoodles due to a light inebriation caused by their amazing products, but just trust me: this place rocks. read more

I'm torn between 3 and 4. The selection is low 5-star level. The wine selection is very good, and they had two rarer bottles on my list when I went looking around Christmastime. They have a good selection of vodka and a great variety of beers. I'm not an afficianado / boozebucket by any means, but the selection is pretty good. I'm in the minority, I know, but I'm not fond of the service here. I''m fine with knowledgeable staff, particularly in the wine section. But man, you know, sometimes a brotha just wants to walk into a liquor store with a hoodie and a ballcap pulled low, grab some booze, throw money on the counter, and get out. Some smiling peppy shamrock chicks can kill the mojo of my neo-noir life. I'm trying to live like Omar from The Wire and these shiny happy people want to *proudly carry* my booze to my ghettomobile. No thanks, yo, just give me a brown paper bag and I'll be on my way. I realize I can get this experience at lesser liquor stores, but sometimes a brotha needs to relieve his depression and/or spice up an otherwise-boring social event with something more than Miller Light. And my ghettomobile really doesn't need someone pumping gas for me. The whole point of putting a credit card on the machine on gas pumps is for anti-heroes like yours truly to completely avoid any semblance of human contact while we cruise our bad selves around America's lonely highways. Maybe I'm just a curmudgeon, but damn, shouldn't that put me in their target audience? Four stars. Wonderful place and I'm not even enough of a crank to downgrade a place for being too nice. Indeed. read more

There has never been a time I have not left Macadoodles satisfied. They have an excellent selection of anything that you want. They seem to always have tastings going on which offer a greater variety then their competitors. For the person who likes to try a bunch of different beers, they have those make your own six pack option and it is about half the price of Brown Derby. Every person you come in contact with is very friendly and that has been consistent since they opened the Springfield store. They really put the bar high in the customer service and cost effective department. read more

Macadoodles - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

A perfect place to find just about any type of alcohol. If they don't have it, they will try to get it for you. Love the taste bar. The staff is great. Worth the stop, get some gas, and check out the flavors. read more

I went to this store several times I gotta say the atmosphere is great and employees are always helpful and friendly

I am in the cstore business from another state. I was traveling and stopped here for gas. Seeing it's off the interstate for travelers I was disappointed. Let me first say... the staff was super nice, all of them, and the place was clean. So the 3 stars are for the friendly people and cleanliness. Bathrooms small, sales floor sort of dark and gloomy, and prepared foods nearly empty. 2 dogs on a roller, they will be there for ever. 2 small pizzas in warmer, looked plastic like. Seems like a lot going on in this building but the cstore side...brighten it up, and prepare food like you want to sell it and you get 5 stars. read more

This place has one of the most amazing selection of craft beers I have found. The staff is unbelievably knowledgeable, even the stockers and cashiers seem passionate about the craft beers and finer spirits they sell. Service is always friendly and welcoming. There is a small bar in the center of the main portion of the store that has some great choices (often rare) on their four taps. You can even request special drinks and hard to find/rare/expensive spirits. The bartenders are very engaging and easy to talk to but if you are looking for a more relaxing time, you can sit at one of the bar tables or shop with your drink in hand. The prices are pretty competitive as well. I would recommend this location over other liquor stores in town because the service, experience, and selection are above and beyond the average store. read more

They had Hangar One Vodka in a variety of flavors. On top of that, they were giving out samples (yes, they'll card you) of flavored bourbons. I think I'm in love. read more

Hands down, a fantastic liquor store. Aside from having a fantastic selection of wine, liquor AND beer (plus cheese, crackers, gifts, etc.), their customer service has always been outstanding as well. Staff are incredibly friendly and engaging, and willing to help you find whatever you're looking for. I've attended a few events here and they are always very well-organized and run smoothly -- they've got it down to a science. Definitely the place to come in Springfield if you're a craft beer lover and/or like trying new things -- they have fun tastings and other events often! read more

Huge selection of everything, you can buy drinks by the glass, and they carried my bags to my car - I am a forever customer of Macadoodles.

Absolutely clueless. I bought a twelve pack of German Beer for quite a bit of money. After serving it to my guest we realize that the Beer was expired for close to a year and a half. One of my guest was sick to her stomach for a day and a half after drinking that beer. When I went back to the store to speak to the manager about it he told me that he would not refund my money. After a ten minute argument and me having to get angry he finally finally decided to give me my money back with the remark that expired beer could not hurt anybody and that it would only loses it flavor which is not true at all. Man up to your mistakes . Very dissapointed read more

This is a review of their beer and liquor sections. I know they have a great wine selection, but I honestly don't buy it often. To describe their beer selection, I can't help but compare it to the Brown Derby. They do have more than the smaller Derbys around town, but its hard to beat the massive selection and cooler space at the Wine Center on Glenstone. They do carry a wide variety of craft beers including one cooler full of various bomber size bottles. Their liquor section has improved since I started going there. The bourbon and Canadian whiskey aisles were very disorganized when they first opened. There would be beautiful and nicely priced small batch bourbons tucked away on the bottom shelf with mass produced bottles of Jim or Jack on the top shelf at eye level. These have been reorganized with small batch and single barrel bourbons now getting their own areas which works well. The Canadian section is now better organized as well, and they've removed the strange "Canadian Bourbon" sign that originally hung over the aisle. My only remaining quibble is with the Scotch shelves which face the registers at the front of the store. I honestly can't find any sort of organization. For example, there are a broad choice of Islays but they're sprinkled across the entire length of the shelves which are about 20 feet in length. Its not alphabetical either. This is a place I'll definitely shop at again, but it will be difficult to break my affection for BD. read more

My husband and I used to stop in Macadoodles at least twice a month and enjoy a cocktail made by one of your bartenders -- His first name begins with a "B". He was the best ever and we sure miss him and Macadoodles 100%. We moved to Ne and of course no Macadoodles here. People this is the best place to go and if you cannot find something or want something just ask someone there and they will help you. Miss you "B". L & P in Ne. read more

i moved here from florida a year ago...kind of in culture shock and really appreciated macs friendly atmosphere.since looking and shopping around town i have found macs to be a little superficial....when they greet you with "welcome to macadoodles" look at the employees...they say that to everyone,everyday and i think they are a little burnt. next....when buying a certain beer,they overcharged me 4 times and when i brought it to their attention each time they seemed irritated like i was the bad guy. they also give a 10 percent discount for vets with an id card.everytime i got overcharged i didnt get the discount...i know its not a right its a privaledge....but why when you overcharge me do i lose the discount? sooooo,i talked to the manager and he said he would fix the problem...i said this is the fifth time ive brought this up and he seemed irritated..then he says beer isnt part of the discount which is cool but what about the other 100.oo plus i usually buy at the same time? on the front of the building it says 100 percent satisfaction or? i think you get my point...i dont want to go to wal-mart which is cheaper or brown derby which has a better selection but i am...bye bye macadoodles....i tryed but i got "no"respect. read more
