Mr Whiskers Wines & Liquors

Great new tap growler selection with 16 handles; this is my die hard homebrewing husband’s favorite beer store, mainly because of the staff. It’s on the edge of Belle Meade so it can be slightly pricey, but not too much compared to other liquor stores in the area. They have a great wine selection with knowledgeable staff, lots of fun craft and local beers including high gravity and regular, & there’s a chiller in the corner. Don’t forget if you like it cold! The liquor selection is plentiful. Overall come for the great service; it’s worth an extra buck or two.

The staff here is great and the beer selection, while not isn’t overly extensive, is commendable. This was my first visit (and I’ve lived in the neighborhood for 4 year) — I appreciated the staff and selection of good brews so much I will definitely be back. I had my toddler with me and one of the ladies saw I had my hands full (with a toddler, not necessarily alcohol!) and took my purchases to the counter for me while I perused the beer. Also, the first employee I spoke to about a specific liquor I was picking up took me right to it. And finally, they have several taps for grower fills and that selection also looked good. Glad for more growler fills on the west side! Can’t say anything about the wine since I’m not a wine drinker.

A smaller, neighborhood-​style store with enough variety to impress. Never had a problem finding, if not everything I wanted, at least enough good stuff that I’m not just buying plonk like Jack Daniels and Smirnoff.

The staff is what makes this place a gem. Along with the steady stream of frequent flyers. Also the prices here are better than anywhere else within 10 miles. If I am wrong please message me. It is close to downtown, Vandy and the selection is quite extensive. The owner changed the shift work of the staff and they lost some key people-​friends. I found 1 at another wine store. That was a long time back so the crew that are now here are also quite helpful and knowledgeable and should I say non judgmental when you come in regularly for that bottle of wine?!? They really do know their inventory and can talk vino from all parts of the world. I really like that about his place. Another store, Not This One but on Charlotte I want to kick myself in the head as they are the rudest possibly most arrogant staff I have come across does not come close to this place of class. Although I feel at times I have punched my frequent flyer card too much there, it is quite homey. They have the growlers going in the back, wine to the right and liquor to the left. I think the selection here is the best in Nashville from bourban to vodka to boxed wine. Yep I have done that too. Just like Italy, boxed is not the best but it is good for the price point and cooking, but be careful, that box can empty a little to fast. Check out is seem less and easy and sometimes they open another just to be more helpful. Good store, great people, a local place with great selection.

$ 5,000 for a Pappy Van Winkle 23 Year bottle of whiskey. $ 1,000 for a 10 Year Old Rip Van Winkle, and $ 240 for an Elijah Craig 18 Year bourbon. The staff at Mr. Whisker’s have always been kind, but if you are looking for whiskey of any kind, you better show up with a black AMEX. A lot of whiskey enthusiasts look forward to this time of year, in hopes of grabbing a limited release bottle of Pappy Van Winkle, or the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection. Mr. Whisker’s has taken price gouging to an entirely new level of insanity– even their single barrel picks from Four Roses are $ 75, which is absurd. To give you a better idea here, the retail price on a bottle of Old Rip Van Winkle 10 Year is about $ 39.99 — a bit lower than the $ 1,000 price I was quoted in store yesterday. I understand that there is a «secondary» market of people who collect these bottles, so you may want to take that route. A bottle of Old Rip Van Winkle 10 will cost you about $ 250, which is far above retail, but way below Mr. Whisker’s price.
The staff seems a bit broken over these prices– they’re very aware of their products, and extremely knowledgable… but you’ll never see my face inside this building again. I cannot support a business that takes such extreme advantage of a market trend, as silly as brown water. If you are looking for a reasonable retailer in the Nashville area, I suggest you head to Bud’s in Green Hills, Midtown Wine & Spirits, or Liquor Barn in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Better off, just give up drinking altogether.

love this place, the staff they hire is always top notch.

I’m a fan but Mr. Whiskers isn’t a place that is on my short list of beer, wine & spirits stores. I don’t know what it is. Actually, I think I do. For the distance from my home, it’s missing the wow factor that will get me to drive to/​fro with nary a complaint. That said, if you live nearby, Mr. Whiskers should be in your short-​list rotation.
First off, the name is fantastic. Although I’ve never seen a cat on premises, I have to believe that Mr. Whiskers is fat, cranky, and has zero [redacteds] to give on a daily basis. Basically, I am hoping that he is my spirit animal.
The store itself is on the medium side. Don’t get me wrong: it’s big enough for some variety but it’s not so large you’ll twirl around in alcohol-​rapture. Oh. Am I the only person who does that? Never mind. Mr. Whiskers has a small section of craft beer BUT you can make your own six-​pack from the small selection. Like many Nashville establishments, the selection skews heavily toward hops but I think that’s just a function of giving the people what they want. Once the beer culture matures a bit in the city, I am hoping to see a greater depth (even in a relatively small selection) of beer choices. That said, the resident ‘beer guy’ has a passion for the stuff and I greatly enjoyed my conversation on porters, malt and beer integrity with him. I was able to cobble together a six pack of more-​than-​decent dark beers on that trip. Later trips… not so much. Time is going to be a factor in your beer experience if you’re into anything other than Hoppy McHopperson.
Wine is a different story. I think, for the size of the store, the wine quality and variety is hard to beat. The price points are moderate and the selection is well-​curated. Again, expect to engage with a staff that knows, loves and drinks wine. After loading up on beer (what? I will not be judged), I took my time in wandering the wine racks, asking questions and trying a couple of new-​to-​me bottles. I was educated on regionality, drinking local when it comes to wine (spoiler alert: it’s hard; the soil isn’t friendly), good years for specific varietals, and the like. Come with questions and you’ll leave with answers. If Mr. Whiskers was a bit closer to my home and had a deeper beer selection, I’d, gladly, be a regular. I may not become a regular but I doubt I’ll be a stranger.

This is the best liquor store I have been to in Nashville. The staff is super friendly and helpful, the selection of craft beers is extensive (and includes about twenty beers on tap), and they also have a huge selection of wine and spirits. The store does not look like much from the outside, but if you are looking for a place to find good beer/​wine in Nashville, definitely check this place out!

I love the huge selections of liquor, wine, beer and cigars. I am not an expert by any means when it comes to wines. I like what I like and sometimes don’t know why. That is where the staff comes into play. All I have to do is pick up a bottle of wine, flash it to the staff and get either a yay or nay. Haven’t been mislead yet. So how can you beat that? The other great plus is they are right behind my house. Oh, only if they delivered. The only downside is they don’t offer any snack type idems. No crackers or cheese; things like that. It may be a Tennessee law. But after living in Kentucky for awhile and having the Liquor Barn, one tends to become spoiled. They have all sorts of food pairings. Having said that, Mr. Whiskers works well for me.

Mr. Whiskers has a great wine selection and they know their wine!

Mr. Whiskers was already getting a good review from me; then I had to give it 5 stars because of their name. Come on. It’s amazing and you know it!
I love a liquor store where the staff is friendly, but not overbearing and know what the heck they are talking about. If I need a recommendation they are there to help, but if I want to be left alone and look at different wine labels (it’s fun!) they leave me be. My BF and I recently visited Napa and went to a very private, exclusive winery located on a hill. Whiskers is the only place I’ve found that has their wine! When I complemented the employee at the register he said they pride themselves on having unique bottles that other stores don’t carry.
I also love a good deal, and they had a number of displays set up with discounted bottles of wine. I love that! It’s nice to keep my wino status while on a budget! They have a big selection of refrigerated bottles if you are looking for a white or bubbly to drink within the next couple hours.
Stop in at Mr. Whiskers and have a great experience! Plus when you are looking at your bank statement and see a charge to «Mr. Whiskers», you can’t help but laugh.

Clean, friendly and an expansive selection of wine & beer. Reasonably priced.

I had only been in here to rapidly grab booze while on the way out of town.
You’d be amazed about how frequently this happens to me…
I have a really hard time thinking about this place without referencing this — because I’m curious like a cat…
The last time I was in here, I took some time to slow down and enjoy myself. Holy crap, they have a lot of whiskey. Not sure how I missed the giant display of brown on the back wall.
The staff was really helpful, not pushy, but really willing to talk about the product. I told them I was just kicking around, and then this old gripey lady came in asking for some cheap, rot-​gut wine that she had found cheaper at some other liquor store. And let me be clear, this was some swill along the lines of 47lb Rooster or Ruinite, but the staff was totally cool with her, despite her incessant kvetching.
Anyway, I ended up finding a bunch of stuff I hadn’t seen elsewhere, and made my way out with a bunch of good stuff.
Top-​notch place all the way around!

I have to admit that I have found myself going back to Mr Whiskers again and again. I had originally believed that their staff was OK on bourbon, but was happy to learn that I was not speaking with the right people. Upon correcting that short-​sighted mistake, I was thrilled to have a place that is cheap, friendly and knowledgeable.

Unless a liquor store has the widest range selection possible, it will most likely obtain 3 stars from the likes of me.
I went to this liquor store solely because it’s name is Mr. Whiskers. I’d love to shake the hand of the Mr. Whiskers who printed those huge letters on top of that building. Genius.
The liquor store itself is generally just like every other liquor store. The variety was only half-​way there, but it offered anything you really need if you’re not snobby about your alcohol. Their beer selection was probably my favorite part — offering a pretty hefty variety, although again, nothing too impressive.
They did have a wine selection from the Molly Dooker winery, but were out of The Boxer, which the guy working claimed that they were one of the few liquor stores in town that offered it. I believe he said that because it was an Australian wine and so well-​liked, it wasn’t offered in many places or in stock for very long. We went to the liquor store around the corner in the Publix shopping plaza, and low and behold, walked out with a bottle of Boxer (for $ 5 cheaper).
Don’t get me wrong — the staff was friendly and helpful, and I’d shop there in a pinch. But that’s still just A-​OK in my book.

With a name like Mr. Whiskers, what’s not to like? This place is huge! Really huge. Made my first visit to Mr. Whiskers on Saturday to pick up some adult beverages, and I will for sure be back for more.
The staff is extremely nice and their selection is great. Even though they were out of the wine my girlfriend was looking for, we walked out with something else. They even have whipped lightning. If you don’t know what whipped lightning is, you should inform yourself by making a stop at Mr. Whiskers.
Only downside is that they are closed on Sunday! This is new to me, having just moved from New Orleans. Damn blue laws! Nashville needs to abolish the ban on Sunday liquor sales and open container laws! Enough of my soap box rant, now get to Mr. Whiskers and brows their plethora of adult beverages!

I really like the people at this place. They are extremely nice and helpful. We went in the other day and asked for their recommendations on a good (decently priced) pinot noir. We left with an amazing bottle of pinot that was so smooth and earthy once it opened up. We went back and got a few more bottles.

I love the people here. They are so helpful and don’t laugh at me when I can’t remember what the liquor is I’m looking for and start describing it with unusual adjectives. They do have a wine selection but it is limited. Their liquor selection is pretty vast though. They’ve got the good stuff and the 7.99 vodka.
Don’t let the name fool you, it’s not cheesy. It’s pretty clean. I think it’s pretty fair prices too. The Parking lot is always empty too. It’s right next to Blockbuster too.

I’m giving it three stars just ’cause I’m a cat lover, and if you name a store after a cat, you’re alright in my book. I assume Mr. Whiskers is a cat, but I don’t know for sure.
However, I think «discount liquors» is a bit of a misnomer. For the times I’ve been there in that area of town and picked up wine for convenience’s sake, I’ve not found it to be very discount, unless of course you call spending on average two dollars more for a bottle of wine than anywhere else in town «discount.»
Maybe I’m just picky about these things, but I don’t think that if just because you’re in Bellemeade, you can call yourselves a discount store, charge more, and get away with it. I went there tonight, and while they did have my current favorite wine cold, which is a hard find, I paid more for it than I should.
The layout of this store is also annoying. They have lots of wine, but it’s all so squished that it’s difficult to find anything. I went in there once and asked for help buying a «cheap» wine for a party. I wanted something I could take that didn’t look too cheap but I could take and I knew would get guzzled without much thought, therefore I didn’t want to spend much money. The guy kept showing me $ 15 plus wines, and made me feel like such a cheapskate for telling him that this particular event wasn’t worth $ 15 to me. I much prefer wine stores where I can just go in and tell them what I really want for the occasion and they will help me out.
There are some pluses. They do have a good selection of wine, and the people who work there are nice too, and I don’t mind going in here if it’s the only place convenient, but it’s not by any means my first or second choice.

This has got to be one of the most felicitously named liquor stores in town. I hope I get to meet Mr. Whiskers one day.
This is a fairly big liquor store on White Bridge Rd. It’s convenient since it is right across from the Target where I am all the time. Mr. Whiskers has a good wine selection. It seems like about half the store is wine. There’s plenty of variety — especially around the $ 10 — $ 15 range where I like to buy. I’m one of those people who tries to write down and find wines that I read about. Sadly, Tennessee has such crazy liquor laws one of my favorite wines is not even available here. Some nonsense about none of the distributors work with the vineyard. And of course you can’t but it yourself mail order. Crazy. All of which is to say, I have at least found bottles of wine here that I haven’t seen elsewhere.
The store has decent prices. I just got a bottle of Pimm’s the other day which is delicious stuff. There are all kinds of varieties of bourbon to choose from which is one of the other spirits I buy. They also had some crazy varieties of gin I had never heard of.
Friendly staff, decent prices, convenient location.
