Ricardo’s my man. Cheerful, knowledgeable, and willing to educate. I stopped in on a Friday evening to pick up a bottle of vino for my date night with the Mrs. Conveniently they had a wine tasting going on. Ricardo was kind enough to spend more than a few minutes steering me towards the right bottle of pinot. Customer service and convenience very much appreciated!

Mr. Smidgens loves his libations! If you are looking for a great place to pick up your favorite spirits, this is the place! They have live music and wine tastings from 5−8pm on Friday and Saturday. You can get an extra 10% off 6 or more bottles already on sale and 20% off regularly priced bottles. WAT?!! Do you like cigars? Well they have those too! So, head to the hills of Westlake and pay them a visit!

One stop shop! Ricardo(the owner) is always more than happy to lend a helping hand. This also is my secret spot for getting ice when on the way to penny backer bridge to be scooped up on Lake Austin. Affordable, friendly, and convenient. What’s not to like?!

I used to go past this place all the time and never knew it was there. Then, one day, I decided to go in, and realized they were dog friendly. The dog was sitting by the window on his bed, and I had my pups in the car because they are always with me. Lisa, the cashier, wine expert of some degree(don’t know yet of her entire expertise), has got a very nice vibe and the owners are very enthusiastic. I go in just to see what they are tasting and also, without too much temptation, buy something at a reasonable price :)

Exceptional and very friendly«neighborhood» Davenport Wine and Spirits is great. Large selection of wine and spirits as well as cigars(don’t smoke, so can’t rate). If they don’t have it, they will get it for you asap. Ricardo sets the tone of a customer super friendly store. Friday wine tastings are fun and you can just drive across 360 to Trento for dinner. Someone mentioned«smallish» in describing Davenport, however I’ve found items such as Chartreuse here that were not available at Spec’s and they will order anything you need. I enjoy just going in and talking with the staff! Great place!

Super friendly staff and conveniently close to home! If they have enough staff, you can place an order to be delivered and that is a plus! They also have cigars so you can stop by there and grab a scotch and a couple of cigars easy! A lot of the times I go in they are doing tastings and that as we all know is extremely helpful when picking out a new bottle. Love the location, love the staff… love it!

I’m giving this place 3 stars because they are dog friendly! When I walked in I was greeted by the sweetest, little black poodle. Can’t imagine needing to take my doggies to the liquor store but by god if I needed to they allow it and I’m not sure twin or specs does! The store is small but convenient and the prices are fair. Two of the female staff gave me the impression they did not give a damn about my presence but they man at the register was nice enough. I did mention to him I thought they could take a clue from the dog in being more friendly but hey who needs customer service in a down economy? I almost bought a bottle of Skinny Girl Rita mix but purchased 2 waters and left. Next time be a little more courteous, in retail it translates to sales!

This smallish liquor store in Davenport Village is extremely convenient. It’s pretty well-stocked — not Specs, but about the same as the average Twin Liquors. They have a decent selection of wine. The basic liquors are here as well. If you’re looking for an uncommon Armagnac, this is not your place, and if it’s a new boutique rum or vodka you’re after, you’ve maybe got a 50⁄50 shot of finding it here. Still, you can’t beat the convenience for basic stuff: as people who live nearby know, it’s about the only wine and liquor store that qualifies as «nearby». The owners who always seem to be manning the place are exceptionally friendly and helpful. They pay you just as much attention as you want or need. Their dog is usually hanging out at the store too… I mean, how cute is that?(Answer: cute.) Though in 3 years of living out here, I have yet to make it out to one, they have wine tastings every Friday.
