“The owner is so pleasant. He has collectible memorabilia bottles and ALWAYS willing to take the time to explain the worth of each one.
He tells how many were made. Why they were made. What they are made with.
My favorite part is that he is honest about which ones aren't that valuable.
He goes into detail about which ones are worth more unopened and what they will be worth in 5, 10, 20, and 50 years down the road.
Extremely pleasant staff.
They have a drive thru if you don't want to go inside.”
“Fast n friendly place for truckers. Shipping door is next to door 1. Receiving next door 40 on building A. Building B is for empty bottles delivery. Go down ramp and ignore the no truck beyond sign. Plenty of room to maneuver”

“Wow wow wow… so much options that i got dizzy and seems drunk without even drinking any of the beer… why? So confusing and so much variety. I did not know there are so many”
“About the friendliest staff you are likely to find in a liquor store. Also, it's south side so they have a decent selection and a refreshing absence of slot machines and shootings. (I'm sorry Northside liquor stores, but #true).”
“My backup liquor place, honestly, despite it being called discount smokes and beer, the prices are kinda expensive on almost everything expect to go there and spend $20 on almost anything on the shelves”
“First come first serve if you have a 0600-1100 appointment. Easy to get to. Pull up to the gate. Buzz you in. Enter lot and spin around to line up with the door. Slide tandems back. An hour and some change to get unloaded. Can’t complain. Staff is nice.”
“Jessica at the Taste White Wine tasting tonight was fun, informative and friendly! She helped me realize that I don't absolutely hate Sauvignon Blancs and really helped me expand my palate. Thanks for a fun evening!”
“This was actually a pleasant surprise for dinner. Our group couldn't decide what to have for dinner so this pulled up as a great option with several different food options. From chinese, american, salads and sandwiches you can't go wrong and the price is great for families. They do have an area where you can sit and have your meals. Great for families with no idea on what to eat.”
“There are smaller Brown Derby locations all over the place for your quick stop on the way home from work, and then there is this one. This Brown Derby is the vintage 18 year old cask whereas the others are just nice blends. Here you will find everything in the other shops but just so much more. Their selections of cigars, single malts, wines and accessories are beyond reproach. Just when you think you've seen it all, head over to the back room where they keep the REALLY good stuff! We went in for a bottle of wine. Four hundred dollars later ... you get my drift.”
“Variety smoke shop with various low priced cigarettes, detox products, marijuana devices as well as state legal marijuana, (they offer free samples of joints!) Small ice cream chest, soda, candy, ATM machine, butane refill, lighters, vape pen, scales, and other novelty items, glassware. Cheapest place to get a oil burner pipe aka METH pipe.”

“Excellent stores ! Classic Brown Derby logo and excellent Customer Service with a Smile. Their prices are awesome, and they even offer free bottle bags with their cute logo on them. The store is set up so nicely, with wood case sides on the countersides (just like our old store in Chicago) and they had sweet Christmas decorations up too, which was really fun. They had a really cool Captain Morgan boot stocking that I almost had to steal -- but I didn't ! ?
We'll definitely be back. The staff were so helpful and nice.”
“I can't believe I've driven past this place all these years and never gone in! Wow, I regret that. The selection here is amazing, and the staff is phenomenal. Everyone was so nice. Lukus was over over the top amazing and knows his stuff. I will definitely be going back here for quality mixed drinks. I ordered a margarita, and WOW! Y'all are great!”
“Friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful staff. And the selection...oh man! Every time I go in for wine I have to wander around and see what there is. A large and very diverse selection of wines, spirits, beers...even hop waters and some infused drinks await your every desire. It's a very comfortable store inside - lots of wood and a nice decor, There are tasting areas, tables and chairs. The lighting is well-done and all products are easy to see. Bathroom was clean and well-maintained. Apple Pay is always something I like to use wherever possible and they accept it there.”
“I bought a couple of the Gelatys ice cream pops by the self checkout area. The kitty shaped one was melted and the guys working were so kind and helpful. They opened so many boxes for me until we found one that wasn't melted! Excellent service!”
“Availability of allocated bottles has been good lately, prices have come down and you can catch a good sale if you are paying attention. The staff is friendly and they will go above and beyond to solve any issues.”
