Houston's best liquor store – I always go here for the booze but end up leaving with something else, whether it's some delicious food or something for the kitchen. The booze selection is phenomenal with every brand of beer, wine, or liquor that you can imagine. The food really blows it away though with an awesome deli and great party food, as well as stuff to keep me full when I'm looking for something easy.

Friday afternoons there are so many liquor vendors sampling that you can get a good buzz on. This is really the go-to liquor stop. There are just too many things I can ONLY find here and nowhere else. They have the best port selection I have ever seen including some bottles from the 1930's. Love it.

I Don't Think Any Liquor Store in Town Can Beat Spec's – I am lucky enough to live near Spec's (my wife and I moved to Houston only a few months ago), and I have been to the Midtown location probably more than any other business in Houston, save Lowe's and Target. Pay cash and save 5%. I've seen it at places in other cities, and it's a great idea. I haven't paid with a credit card once, and I won't as long as I can keep saving. The wine selection is great, but I would say that if you are looking for a certain wine, it can be... read more

Impress Out-of-Towners – Whether you have guests from Paris, Texas or Paris, France, their eyes will pop when they visit this Sam's wearhouse-sized liquor store. There's a reason why the Spec's rabbit wears glasses...well, why else would he? The best time to go is on Saturdays, when they have liquor/wine distributors sampling their brands. It's also fun to people watch as they party plan down the aisles. The gourmet items like the clotted cream with strawberries and the frozen desserts from Belgium are a foodie's dream come ... read more

All that is good in life – Drink a diverse array of excellent beers. Drink fine wine from around the world. Eat soft and hard cheeses from the most excellent of cows. Taste gourmet chocolates from the finest cacao. Feast on enormous deli sandwiches piled high with tasty deli meats, cheeses and condiments. Indulge in a vast selection of superb spirits- rums, tequilas, cognacs. That is Spec's Midtown, and that is all that is good in life.

Terrible Policies – My wife and I love Spec's. We almost exclusively shop for wine at their locations in both Houston and Austin and have attended Bear Dalton's (the Spec's wine buyer) classes at Rice University three times. Due to the proximity to our home, I occasionally walk to the Spec's downtown location when buying small amounts. We love the selection, prices, and Bear's expertise in wine. Last Saturday evening on February 13th, we were having guests from out of town and the weather was good, so I decided to walk to th... read more

Racially Profiles Customers – After parking my Lexus in the parking lot, I walked in the front door where I was asked very rudely by an employee to leave my gym sack at the front desk. Since I just left the gym and had no pockets, I had to get my wallet, keys, iPhone, and iPod out of my gym sack (which I use when working out since I don't have pockets in my gym shorts) and hold it all in one hand. While in the store, I noticed many other customers (mostly Caucasian) who had back packs and other large bags on, and many White ... read more

:) Spec's Liquor – People are always happy to celebrate something at Spec's. I personally feel it's a landmark of Texas
