Visiting my family I needed a drink. Checked the nearby liquor stores and it was close so decided…read moreto try it. That was the best part...it was close. Pulled up and it was unclear if it was open as the building looks abandoned. There was a car in front so I chanced it and went inside. The selection was ok. Hardly any Scotch so I knew I would only visit for whisky. Went to the counter and asked for the Bullet and realized it was about $5 more than I normally pay. Anyway, it was close. So I chatted with who I presume was the owner and mentioned we may look to move into the area. He proceeded to tell me that was a bad idea as I would pay more for gas, wear and tear, and waste time commuting. Gas is far cheaper here than I'm used to. I have a good car warranty. I work remotely so if I did have to commute into Austin it is still 1/2 the amount of drive time I'm used to. That didn't sway him. It was just a bad idea to move here. I'm not sure if that is a marketing strategy to run away business and to discourage growth, but it seems to be here. I made my purchase and said thanks and have since honored the advice to not come back.

I got what I needed. Yes this place looks like an abandoned warehouse. One car out front, no open…read moresign, but the inside lights shown through the dank windows just enough that I decided to try the door. Very clean inside with cases of booze neatly stacked across the room. The perimeter walls lined with stocked shelves of all the major alcohol groups. I bought some bottles of different varieties I'd never seen before, nice gifts to take back home to PDX in a few days. The Owner was friendly & helpful, I can understand why a review mentions his off-putting demeanor. We chatted about the growth happening in & around Taylor, which he doesn't plan on being around for, as it's a new era moving into town & I'm sure some young hip Folks will "do it up" for the town. Bottom line~ Booze ~ Wine ~ not so much Beer ~ Ice ~ (The refrigeration went out during the pandemic & it's been impossible to get some specific part. Yes he's had someone out for repair, more than once.) Go get your bottles & support the small businesses in your town. No thrills or extras, interesting conversation & some random Cool booze worth trying may come home with you. Go down a couple blocks to grab beer & ice!
