They carry a huge rotating selection of beers from tons of breweries near and far. I love that I can be confident they'll get all the Tupps Full Grown and DDH variants. They also keep the best selection of True Vine beers that I've found in DFW. Absolutely worth a follow on Instagram as they regularly post their new inventory!

This business is full of liars and the manager here has zero ethics or honor. They will have…read morepoints and then when you go to use them they will say I'm sorry and try and pass it off on you. This may be how management does it back home, but in Texas we treat people with honesty and ethics. It's called morals and telling me you will take care of it in the phone and wasting my time is beyond disrespectful. Don't shop here if you value honesty as these crooks who manage this place are beyond low and will say whatever they need to in order to get a sale and then pull back when there is any accountability. Despicable and shame on them.

It's become one of the hole-in-the-wall stores where you won't get anything close to retails unless you're one of their favorites. And if you aren't a regular and ask for allocated bottle then get ready to spend over 300$ just to be able to buy it at retail or close to. Spent a lot of money there but they must have changed management because now it's just another who knows who type of place. Save your time and money if you're just buying something available all the time. Stick to total wine or specs.

We had a disappointing experience there last week. We had bought that were on sale there, 2…read moreglasses of syrup, one Strawberry and one Ginger, and 2 boxes of dates. When we went to use them we saw that the 2 glasses of syrup were 21 years past their best before date. The dates were 1.3 years past their sell-by date. We handed it in to the store and were surprised by 2 young employees. One, a young lady, pushed the items back towards us and said "We don't take back those kinds of items." That, of course, led to an argument. As the argument got louder she said that sell-by dates only apply to grocery stores, not to liquor stores, and that it wasn't counted for food at their place of business. It finally ended up with us getting our money back.

The spirits are well labeled - and they look cool! - but inside the aisle is is less clear. Selection was spotty. They have some great bottles: I found an Appleton 15 and an El Dorado 18, plus an Old Grand Dad 114, but they didn't have not-from-concentrate lime juice, Falernum, or passion fruit syrup. And some of their prices were outlandish - 25% above nearby shops - and some were reasonable. So, a good place to go with a nice staff, but be careful to know what you should be paying.
