Spec’s

Top notch place… liquor galore… only problem is that you have to find it amongst all the chaios…

This place is large and clean with an extensive collection of spirits, wines & beer. One thing they don’t have an extensive selection of are wine cooler options. I think they stocked only one brand with two (possibly 3), flavor options. I was heading to a BYOB dance and needed something to loosen up. I ended up settling on Seagram’s «Jamaican Me Happy»… Sadly, It did not make me very happy. Note to self: next time purchase something with a little more kick!

Great location, great staff, and great selection. PAY with cash you get a discount!

Spec’s took the place of Centennial on Belt Line Rd. The interior looks largely the same with a good selection of wines and liquor, but it appears to be better organized. Prices seem reasonable. There are two prices listed, one for credit card purchases and one for cash/​debit card. The cash price is 5% cheaper, and some products are offered at an even further discount if you pay with cash.
They also have a store card (called a Key card), just like Centennial did, and it’s also free. They offer Key specialty pricing on certain items, and you can build up points with each purchase. The points just give you access to limited available wines and discounts to events; not free liquor, unfortunately!
The staff here was super friendly. Several people offered to help me without even asking, and one was kind enough to bring me a basket when he saw that my hands were full. For Asian alcohol, they have lots of sake but no soju. Also, they do not offer food at this location … although I’m not really shopping here for food!
