I drive by this store on a daily basis and always forget to stop by when I need any alcoholic beverages. While cooking dinner, I realized I needed sake and I did not want to drive all the way to Spec's so I called Chris' Liquor and when I asked the guy if they had sake he was so short and kind of rude by telling me "yay, we have two kinds". I was so put out that I remembered South Lamar Wine and Spirits, called them and the response was the complete opposite! When I entered the store, the guy remembered me, pointed me in the right direction and helped me decide which sake was the best for my meal. I was so appreciative and I noticed that they have a great selection of wine and spirits. I plan on going back to this store often. At least they appreciate your business.

I love north so I don't always think about spirit shopping down south. So happy to return to this place after about 4 years. As soon as I walked in I remembered why I liked it: great selection and excellent service. I was rum shopping and honestly, it's hard to find people with good rum recommendations, but these folks know what they're talking about. I look forward to sipping my rum and continuing on my journey to make the perfect mai tai

Do not order "it'll be there in an hour!" delivery from here. The last time I did, it took 2 1/2 hours. This time, it's more than 3 hours and counting. And there is no communication from them beyond the false delivery estimates. They have plenty of excuses when you finally call them, but no offers to cancel the order or make it up somehow. Are you missing the dinner you ordered the bottle for? Too damn bad. You're stuck waiting.

Found hard to find tequilas at South Lamar Wine and Spirits. Without any doubt I will be back to this location.

Popped in for a bottle of wine and was impressed by the selection available! Whether that's wine, liquors, etc. The store is organized and clean. The staff is very friendly and helpful if you are looking something specific. Easy place to get in and out of on South Lamar!

Shout out to staff, William, who helped me pick out a great gift. I gave him some details and he ran with it and put together a great selection. Even suggested some new items to try. Great prices! William was nice and professional, awesome customer service!

This liquor store has a wide variety of craft beers, whiskey, tequila, mezcal, wine, cigars, etc. If you need a specialty liqour they have it, or will get it for you. They are like Disneyland for liqour, you can get lost in there for a while with their variety. Not to mention the staff is knowledgeable and friendly. They definitely make you feel appreciated as a customer.

This is a solid place for bar needs from beer to mescal. Every time I visit family in austin we stock up here. They're open fairly late, they're friendly and helpful, and aside from the booze and wine, there's a giant cooler full of great beer! Yay! One last thing I've never seen at a liquor store where I live... they've got lemons and limes at the register! How genius is that?!

South Lamar always has the best selections of wines and speciality beers! The guys working were extremely helpful. I was on the lookout for a specific beer and Will quickly found what I needed. I enjoy coming in because everyone seems to be having a good time with cheerful service.

Loved this store. We were in a hurry to get on the river and wanted some cold tequila to accompany us, but didn't have any at home. Pete was great and packaged up our tequila in a bag of ice for free!! Thank you Pete!!! 10/10 service highly recommend, will be back!

I was too lazy to turn left off of Lamar on Friday night to go to Chris' Liquor and decided, instead, to run into South Lamar Wine and Spirits to get a bottle of wine to go with dinner. It was my first time there. What a mistake! While the wine I got was good, the experience I had was not. There was a man in the store without a mask who was impossible to avoid. I don't know if he worked there, was a supplier, a friend of the person working there -- I just know he was in and out of door and the aisles. and then leaned on the counter to the side of the cash register and talked to the (masked) employee while he was working. It was impossible to avoid him and the person at the cash register was clearly okay with it. And, it's a small space. What an unnecessary risk! Never again.

I visited the store on 4/21. I went in and waited in line, once I got to the counter "Will" turned away from me and did not knowledge me at all. He was very friendly with other customers. I then asked for a couple of different products that he told me they did not carry, that I then went and found both products on the shelves. I then asked about the smaller bottles of said products that are behind the counter. He blatantly lied to me AGAIN while standing right in front of the products saying "We don't carry those". The whole time he was talking about me audibly to a co-worker while I was shopping. I did reach out to the owners with no response. I believe that the guy is homophobic and refused to help me based on my sexual orientation.
