Really nice staff. Pretty good selection of bourbon. One of the best I've seen in Knoxville but I'm not a bourbon hunter. Fair prices. I don't like how they bundle some of the more desirable with store picks (you have to buy the store pick to get the allocated at retail), but most of their store picks are pretty good. read more

Great selection of craft beers plus a decent amount of individual cans too. Staff was friendly so go check out the beer cave

Despite marketing an allocation drop as being priced at MSRP or "slightly above MSRP," all bottles were above MSRP with only 1 of them being somewhat close to that price. The rest were priced to secondary or just under secondary, which is not what was advertised. It wasted mine and others' time as people waited hours for what was supposed to be affordable prices. Completely unprofessional and deceptive. The only reason this is not a 1-star review is because they do have a wide selection (especially of barrel picks), including a large sampling bar. read more

Went to fill up some growlers what an amazing price for the beer filled up two growlers for $22.00: they did not have any Buffalo Trace but with 5he market the way it is that's ok the staff is very knowledgeable about the products they have. read more

Tried several times to reach them by phone to check to see if they sold a brand of whiskey I had difficulty buying....was unable to reach them by telephone....Went elsewhere after successfully reaching them by phone.....I give them 1 star as it doesn't appear you can not leave 'no stars'... read more

Amazing selection, including a ton of store picks, very fair pricing and extremely knowledgeable staff!

This is a pretty big place...I am here for Popcorn Sutton book signing and tasting- Learning about Popcorn was really interesting. Thank you McScrooge's for having Tom Wilson Jester there to talk to and to meet the distilled and distributor of the moonshine and to meet the photographer, Don Dudenbostel. I bought 2 jars and the book they all signed it for my sons. This is a really clean, had a nice selection of everything with all reasonable prices, liquor store. Would recommend for the drinker at heart- read more

Very Friendly Staff. prices are decent :) I go here whenever I need a good drink. I can always count on what I need to be there. I highly recommend :) read more

Incredible selection of everything from beers to RTDs to world whiskys. Well-priced to boot.

Excellent selection but more important to me is customer service. I have bought numerous special release, limited release and barrel select bourbons from this store since October. Went in and asked today about another special release and was just told, indignantly "I don't know" and just walked off. If I was a noob and had never been in that's one thing but to spend a couple grand over months, think customer service would be a little better and it would matter. Sorry to say guys, you won't get another dollar from me and I will share with my friends who buy the same stuff to beware. Cheers, read more

Epic tasting bar, Knowledgeable and friendly staff member, great selection. Was a fun stop.

The largest selection of Scotches around. Good wine selection. I love the beer selection here. They have everything you could be looking for. They have products that I have not seen in other stores. If you are searching for something and cannot find it, just ask and they will see what they can do to get it for you if they don't carry it at the time. Afternoons you might get caught in traffic as it is at a busy intersection around Cedar Bluff. So my advice go early or go late :) Cheers & Enjoy! read more

It's in a bad location that's hard to get in and out of. It's impossible to turn left when leaving. The prices somehow seem to be higher at the register than what's marked on the shelf. read more

Wonderful place! Friendly staff! Easy parking & access to interstate! Great daily specials, too! 6 stars!

Good scotch and rye selections; four stars, specifically for that reason. I don't agree that it's the largest scotch selection around (especially when you only have one variety of Bruichladdich, or one variety of Glen Moray), but that's splitting hairs. Store seems to do better on the hard liquor selection than on the beer and wine selection, which is just okay, but has nothing compared to Total or Wegmans. read more

This is my go to spirits place. Great selection of Ryes (my fav) and always (well usually) something new whenever I visit. Brad has always been spot on with his recommends. read more

I'm so impressed by their knowledge of Scotch! The man who helped me was excellent at helping me find the perfect gift for my husband. Great selection of rarer bottles. Will definitely be back. read more

Stopped in yesterday as I was passing through Knoxville on the way to Kentucky. An outstanding selection across the board but my main interest is Bourbon of which their selection was great! I picked up 6 of the 10 recipes of 4Roses Barrel Selection, two barrel selections of Old Scout Smooth Ambler, along with a few others. Prices were in line with other places but some others were on special for as much as $40 less on very high end bottlings. On top of this I got a 10% discount for buying case quantity Great service, knowledgeable staff, a huge selection at the tasting bar so you can try before you buy, what more could you want! read more

I am puzzled how this particular store would have a 4 1/2 star review? Went there yesterday evening only to find three grumpy employees each doing their own thing, stand in line and wait for the only associate at the counter, while the other associates were busy putting away stock None of the three seem to really give a darn if anybody is there spending money or not and not a cheerful smile or hello or man help you whatsoever I will not shop at this place again, and in fact Cedarbluff liquor is my favorite because they always greet you and are very willing to help And, I frankly really don't care what the pricing is as long as I feel important read more

2nd best liquor store in Knoxville. Friendly staff and decent sized liquor selection!

I was traveling through and was looking for Tennessee whiskey, the two men that helped me were great. I'm learning about whiskey and these gentlemen took the time to explain history how it's made some differences and made some great recommendations. Of course in 30 min you could barely scrape the surface but I left a little more knowledgeable and excited to try my new whiskeys. These guys are passionate about whiskey and it was a pleasure shopping here I wish I had more time. Thanks from New Jersey read more

I've been going here for years. Wide variety of everything. Great craft beer selection in a huge walk-in cooler (bring a jacket). Craft beer on-tap is also for sale if you bring a growler; free samples if you ask (not sold by the glass). read more

Great beer selection..yes. Great location...no; traffic constraints make the entry and exit cumbersome at best. Outrageous pricing on domestic craft beers bordering on that of confiscatory. $16 and up for 4 packs of Bearded Iris; Highwire; Tailgate; New Heights..say what? Simply gouging the clients whom seek out good beer in the area. I have shopped at McScrooges for several years since moving to Knoxville due to their great beer selection but now with another big player in the area with much cheaper prices I will being doing business down the road a few more miles. Hopefully the increased competition will result in a win for the consumer and the prices at McScrooges will return from the exosphere and back to Earth. read more

Said to be the biggest liquor store in Knoxville and boy, it did not disappoint! Huge selection of wines, liquors, and craft beers. The staff was really friendly and helpful, and when I asked somebody if they had a wine that I liked, they said no but then gave suggestions for similar wines! I hope I can come here again the next time I'm in town. read more

Great selection and they give a 10% military/veterans discount! Thank you for that McScrooge's.

Huge craft beer walk in cooler and outstanding customer Service. Rodney was a big help, and the other employees were all great, too, even though I don't remember their names. Highly recommended! read more

I enjoy shopping where merchandise is easy to find, clearly marked and where service is superb. This place is abysmal on all counts. It is congested, dark, difficult to quickly locate what you're after and management borders on being utterly rude. I didn't like it the first time I tried it. I tried again and it was consistently bad. The best places know who they are. read more

The ballin'est liquor store in town. First, this is the only establishment, to my knowledege, to be taking advantage of the vast and plentiful benefits of the recent liqour law changes in TN. They have remodeled, added in growlers and fancy beers, are ready for the high-grav beers we are "allowed" to get in 2016. They also have a keen eye on just how rapidly craft-cocktail culture is growing, and they feature an amazing and ever-expanding selection of bitters, tonics, shrubs, liquors, etc. Back to the benefits of the recent law changes, I haven't seen another package store take advantage of this in terms of retail, the way McScrooge's does. They have gift-wrap wine bags, corkscrews, cool cocktail glasses, greeting cards, and much, much more. This is THE premiere all-encompassing store in town. I only hope some of the other former frontrunners will see the light and step up to take advantage of all they CAN now offer. read more

I only go here for the beer. They have the best selection in town for craft beer and it's reasonably priced. You can buy high gravity beers, above 6.2% ABV too. read more

I agree they have a great selection, but it's like trying to dig through piles at a thrift store! Very cluttered and unorganized, and you can forget about trying to special order a keg! I called last Thursday ,guy told me it would be there by Monday, it has now been 9 days, 3 phone calls to them, always told someone would call me back, and they haven't yet! Purchased from Bearden Beer Market instead! Very disappointed!! read more

Came in being an out-of-state guy looking to get a local "brewery" beer called Hexagon and was treated like a child by first, explained that Hexagon is not a beer but a brewery and second, "which beer from the brewery" would I like? As if everyone who enters should be expected to have English as their first language, be an expert in beer nomenclature. I did not get a positive or friendly vibe at all from the two people I interacted with. I get to the back by the tap's and begin asking questions, since obviously I have a lot of choices and from all the talking, the guy could have saved himself a bunch of time by just offering to let me sample some of the ones I asked about instead of digging his brain finding words to explain them. Overall, sure, they have a nice selection but I can get that selection anywhere else. Their customer service is what makes the difference and theirs sucked ass. Maybe it was because I mentioned I was out of state as well. Either way, screw this place. 5 stars for selection, 0 stars for friendliness. = 2 stars total. read more

McScrooge's has become my go-to place for hard to find rums, liqueurs/aperitifs, mixers, and every kind of bitter under the sun (most of which, you won't find anywhere else in Knoxville). The beer selection is, to my knowledge, second to none. Recently expanded, McScrooge's seems to have gone out of their way to stock hard-to find items, many of which you'd normally have to drive to a different state or a major city to find. The staff is always eager to order items that they don't have in stock or suggest similar items. Whether you're an amateur mixologist, stocking up for a weekend on the lake, or just want to find your favorite Scotch, McScrooge's should be your first stop. read more

Quite possibly the largest liquor store in Knoxville Tennessee and mostly definitely the largest i've ever seen. They have these incredibly well decorated tiny liquor bottles. They have a walk in wine cellar and beer cooler! Definitely the place to get things lit in Knoxville. read more

This is the best liquor and wine store in Knoxville. It is located in west Knoxville off of Cedar Bluff lane on North Peters Rd. I used to forget it was there because I don't really drive down Cedar Bluff very much, but I have decided this is my favorite place for 2 reasons 1) It just feels classier than the rest. I really like how they have the place organized, lit and designed as it makes shopping more pleasant and inviting. You walk under arches to enter little wine 'rooms' and it feels like you have a bit of privacy to browse. 2) There is a huge selection of liquor, wine and beer. I always find things I could never find at other places, like Apfelkorn! I don't think anyone else will care about that, but I find it amusing. They boast having a good selection of scotch. Just look at their website to see the beer selection. read more

This place is a craft beer drinker's paradise. I stopped in here to buy beer for my boyfriend. He's likes the hoppy IPA's, which aren't my thing. The guy working the beer cooler was eager to help. We put together a 6 pack of various beers based on the information that I gave him, and he hit it out of the park. Their beer selection is vast and well organized. Their walk in cooler is decent size, which offers a variety of cold beers ready to go. Lots of local and regional beers, as well as plenty that are from all over. Their liquor and wine seems to offer just as nice of a selection. read more

Not a fan, you find only a very small amount of select items and more college geared items. Also, if you have ever had to deal with the GM Brent, you won't return. Found better places that or more friendlier and don't have a chip on their shoulder. Such a waste.. read more

Nice selection of big beers and pretty good variety of vodka makes this a go to when I'm in the area.

Great selection! Trey was very friendly and knowledgeable. He let me sample several bourbons and find out exactly which one was right for me. Will definitely shop here again. read more

I have been a customer ever since moving to Knoxville eight years ago. I visit the store a couple times a week and service has usually been quite good, tonight that changed. I was going to purchase a 1.75 of Knob Creek and asked for a price match with another local store which was a few dollars lower. I have had prices matched in the past and it has never been a problem. The cashier , who has helped me before called for the manager. After several minutes wait , the manager came back in from outside. After the cashier told him I wanted a price match he turned to me and asked to see the coupon, what coupon I said, and explained that I only wanted the price matched to the regular price at Bob's, something that had never been a problem. To which he responded no coupon no discount. The cashier was obviously embarrassed by the way the manager was acting and the condescending manning in which he was addressing me. I then asked what he meant by a coupon and could he show me one. He ignored this and said he wouldn't do a price adjustment . I told him fine and that he'd just lost a customer, to which he shrugged as I walked out the door. I work with the public daily and can't always do what they want, but I'm always respectful and try to take their feelings into consideration . If not for the manner for which I was treated I would probably just consider it a new manager not knowing what he's doing , but being rude to customers and lack of concern is not a business I want to patronize . read more

One of the best selections of single malt I've seen in the US. Helpful staff, too! Many bottles are available for tasting too, this is a very rare thing. read more
