Empire Liquor - Allen — Local services in Allen

I've tried several liquor stores in North Dallas, including Total Wine, Specs, Siegels, Empire Liquors, and others. Empire Liquor is my go-to because of their selection and Matt. Empire is a smaller liquor store, but they have a great choice. I've looked into their tequilas and whiskeys, and they have a great selection that goes beyond most other liquor stores. Total Wine does have a much more extensive selection (probably the biggest of all the liquor stores in Dallas). But Total Wine has often tried to direct me away from highly rated tequilas and whiskeys towards their brands. I don't trust their recommendations, and it rubs me the wrong way that they push their brand over other highly rated brands. That's where Empire sets itself apart with the honesty and knowledge of its sales staff. Matt, in particular, has been a wealth of knowledge. I've let him know what type of liquor I like (ryes and tequilas), and he always shows several different brands and talks about how they're different. I've followed his recommendations and he's not steered me wrong yet. My wife was impressed with the Respodo tequila he recommended. This is why the Empire Liquor store is now the only place I go for tequilas...

On Friday April 4th, I was here. I left my debit card there by accident. On Sunday I discovered that I didn't have it. No strange pending charges so I put the card on pause! Went back on Monday afternoon and they gave it back to me. Tonight my daughter who lives in Georgia said she received a FB message asking if she was related to me and asked if I had lost my card. I have no idea how they found her? Just a positive story but I do frequent here a few times a month. Great friendly people, good prices and very helpful....

Empire liquor is definitely my new go-to for liquor, especially when it comes to Bourbon. The selection is definitely superior to most of the other stores in the area, and has an impressive amount of barrel picks, not to mention all from great distilleries. Robin helped me out today, and she was extremely helpful and knowledgeable - I came in for one bottle, left with 3, and have zero regrets. I highly recommend checking this place out if you haven’t...
