Best liquor store on the Eastside Ive ever been to. The employees are awesome and always so nice and welcoming. I havent gone to another liquor store since discovering The Austin Shaker. Thanks guys...you rock!!!

Really cool staff and large selection.

Great service I went there for the first time today. And the people are so helpful.

Milo thanks brother! Awesome store, great service and most of all I got the bottle of bourbon I wanted to get loaded with!!!

Great place with a wonderful selection of some harder to find items. Im glad to have stumbled upon it and have a new go-to local liquor store!

Always something interesting on the shelf at Austin Shaker. I have found gems here that no other place in Austin has.

This is a great store with really friendly staff and great selection of items for mixologists or just people who like good booze.

Awesome selection of everything you could want, and helpful staff. Come here to find something new and tasty!

The team is very helpful. Great suggestions. They know what they are talking about. They have selections I could never find anywhere else in Texas.Thank you for stocking Malort!

There are real helpful and a good variety choices

It was very busy when we went. While the selection is pretty nice, the customer service was not great. We had heard good things about the staff being friendly and knowledgeable for recommendation, but we never felt like the person either had the time or inclination to chat about their products.It might have helped if we were a bit more knowledgeable about the world of spirits, but if you are a novice level I wouldnt recommend.

Most likely the best selection in Austin at very competitive prices. Shop LOCAL first.

Well-curated selection and knowledgeable folks make this our go-to source

Drove in from Dallas for the weekend and realized we didn’t bring our booze. Walked into the store based on reviews on Google, and were not disappointed. Everyone was super nice, and I actually found the Fortaleza 2020 Winter Blend here!! Super stoked. Cool place. Nice people. Go here.

Great selection of hard-to-find bourbon and scotch.

This is truly the best liquor store in town. If alcohol is more to you than just a way to get hammered, this is the perfect place to visit for a remarkable selection and a unique set of barware options. Plus, the owners are the most knowledgeable proprietors youll ever meet.

Lovely little shop. They carry some harder to find stuff including an fantastic mezcal selection. The staff has always been friendly and helpful. It has a very chill out, relax, slow down, old Austin kinda vibe, which I love.

Great shop for the booze nerds out there with staff thats passionate and knowledgeable.

Stuff you wont find anywhere else at fair prices. Curated selection of liquors, great bar tools and friendly owner/operators. I dont go to Twin or Specs since I found this place.

Knowledgeable staff, service industry discount!

While it may not be a bar, the people here (Kiki and David) always remember who you are when you come in. Always a great conversation, great selection of spirits and great time to be had here. Tastings are always top-notch and I learn something new every time. If you’re looking to be treated like family, wanting to learn and try something new, then Austin Shaker is the place for you!

A must stop everytime Im in Austin. The best place to find specialty bar products.

Walked into the Airport store with a friend and was not disappointed! We were looking for a more diverse selection than Twins or Specs and found so many varieties of every liquor. Once one of the cashiers noticed we were browsing, they came over and helped us narrow down our selection with knowledge amd confidence. After we left we tried the Mezcal we picked and it was everything we wanted! These guys are the best at finding the best selections from around the world and bringing them to our little corner! Thanks to Austin Shaker for being awesome!

Great people and excellent selection

Customer service is excellent

One of two amazing stores with a great selection

The Austin Shaker is a fantastic liquor store. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and will go out of their way to help you.

This place is cool. Hes got a very curated selection of whiskeys. Fun place to browse.

The people here are incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely interested in helping you find what youre looking for. The Shaker is the ONLY place I buy liquor for these reasons. They honestly deserve more than 5 stars. Same applies for their other location.

A really cool spot with the best customer service Ive ever recieved in a liquor store. A knowledgeable staff and a great selection.

Great rum selection and knowledgable staff.

Great supply, ok with customer service, but can be improve it.DO NOT EVER BUY:ROTHMAN & WINTER BRAND.Lack of quality, fair of what should be.

This little place was awesome. I will say its a little over priced compared to the bigger chain stores but they were awesome. The lady that helped me actually knew about Bourbons as well as enjoyed drinking them which was great. Also, I told her the bottle was a White Elephant Gift and she got a bow and wrapped the bottle in a brown paper sack. It was pure awesome-ness!

Love this great little business! Great customer service, which is sometimes lacking around the city, but not here! Lets keep them open, they need our help! Keep it local Austin!

I’m From Anguilla in the Caribbean and I love going in there. The team are good people. Courteous entertaining and knowledgeable.Genuine people with the best selection of all things liquor related in town.Highly recommend. Especially if you want someone who knows what they are talking about and some advice on what to get.

Most knowledgeable and best place to find interesting items for your home bar.

Sweet helpful staff with great recommendations!

This place is truly a bartenders dream. Every liqueur and Amaro your little heart could want and incredibly kind and knowledgeable staff to complete the package. Nick suggested a bottle of Nixta corn liqueur and it did not let me down. This place is 10/10 I cant wait to spend all of my money here

So cute, small but has all the best basics for drink making. Staff was so helpful in helping me pick out the perfect liquor.

Absolutely incredible and knowledgable staff, worked tirelessly to help find us anything we’d like based on our tastes. Really awesome people that care about what they do, solid prices, rarer bourbons and they do allocates raffles at the end of the year. If I’m ever back in Austin I’ll be at the Austin shaker.

Super helpful and knowledgeable staff. Great bitters selection too. Ill definitely be back!

Pardon my French but the selection and customer service is hecking good

Wasnt sure if I was cool enough to shop there, even though I was definitely not cool enough to shop there no one made it weird and they had a great price on my gut-rot whiskey so.....Great deal, great store, no-nonsense. ( Noticed they had a pretty cool selection of beers as well. )Why wouldnt ya!?!?Its the closest store, but Id probably drive a little extra to shop here. ;)

Damn, why did it take me so long to visit for the first time?! I bought the hooch and so should you.

Good selection. Limited parking. The owners are fantastic and always helpful. They are former bartenders so they are able to recommend good booze for good cocktails. And they have a well curated bar tool selection that will make even a casual cocktail mixer look like a pro. Pup friendly shopping allowed.

Great selection, including things you wont find elsewhere, friendly and knowledgeable staff, cool bar equipment available. Ill probably become a regular customer here.

Very Accommodating..friendly atmosphere..staff willing to assist with question, concerns. Definitely stop by and check them out.

I shop here regularly due to being in the neighborhood. Sometimes it’s for wine, sometimes beer, and sometimes liquor. Sometimes I want something simple; sometimes I want something new or a little nicer. Customer service is a real hit or miss, and the last time I was in was a real miss. It’s not that the staff is ever “unfriendly,” it’s more so that there’s a noticeable difference in which customers they direct their attention to and the tone and attitude they display. It’s not uncommon to wait several minutes to check out while all sales staff is occupied with other customers, only to then wait longer when they ring up the customers they just landed a sale with (or be made to feel like an inconvenience). I look young for my age, so I think the treatment I get is based on being perceived as a student. Word to the wise: when a customer asks, “Do you have X,” responding, “We sure don’t” is not the best sales tactic. Following it up by bragging about how great your selection is and then saying, “I mean, I can show you other options if you want” is also not a great move. The times when I have received enthusiastic assistance have usually been awkward and misplaced. Whether y’all like it or not, you’re a neighborhood liquor store, so learn how to better cater to a diverse customer base instead of just your dinner-party class of gentrifiers. It’s also not a good idea to assume the guy trying to buy some Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey can’t be sold on something else.

Cannot describe how great the cashiers are! Totally non intrusive, but super helpful. Safe neighborhood, well lit. Didnt see any homeless around. Every liquor you can imagine! Maloort!

Highly recommend. The people that work there are fabulous. Curated selection of alcohol with good options for barware. If youre looking for a specs or total wine experience this isnt the place for you. Austin Shaker is for those wanting the local Austin feel with the right mix of wine, beer, and spirits. 10/10 would go again

A special kind of spirits shop

Great selection, the staff was laid back and informative, and the store was kept immaculate. Came by in a hurry for last minute items on a Friday night and it wasnt to too busy. Prices dont cause a double take which is always nice. Thanks yall, this is my new local LS.

THE place to go if youre in the market for any harder to find liquors/liqueurs. David/Kiki and their staff will help you find whatever it is youre looking for! Im not a big wine guy, but - as I understand it - theyve really stepped up their wine selection, so definitely worth checking out all around!

I love the Austin Shaker! Staff is so real and friendly and fun, definitely recommend if youre in the area and looking for a great place to stop by for some liquor selections especially stuff thats hard to find!

Really great locally owned liquor store with a huge selection! Owners and staff are incredibly knowledgeable and super friendly. I was looking for a rare bottle of bourbon for my dad for Christmas that no other liquor store in Texas had. And not only did they have it, but they had over 100 other rare bottles that they were auctioning off. Me and my girlfriend entered the auction and we both got our names drawn. So I ended up getting both my dads present and a rare bottle that I otherwise would have never had the chance to have in my home.

Amazing staff and selection of hard to find liquor!

Fantastic selection, especially bourbon. Lots of rare and unique options. Very reasonable prices.

Awesome liquor store. Small, but highly curated selection with lots of different/hard-to-find items. Knowledgeable staff.

Not a ton to say here that is different than the rest. This place is great, from the selection to the service. You can tell the owners care and support local. If you live in the neighborhood youre doing yourself a disservice by patronizing any other shops. Especially Millpond Liquors down the street; place is a dump and prices are insane. Thanks Kiki & David!

Really knowledgeable people working here and nice selection. One employee gave me some great insight and guidance on my purchases, and you won’t find that at a chain.

Great local place, prices are decent. One of the better overall selection of fine spirits and craft beers Ive seen. If your looking for something for a connoisseur try here. The selection of bottles seems almost curated.

They have a smaller selection of wines and liquors than Twin or Specs, but for a neighborhood Mom & Pop shop, they have excellent choices. Their frequent in-store tastings are served by distillery reps, not booth babes, so you get meaningful input on the varieties. In addition, they have a great selection of antique bar-ware, mixers, cocktail accoutrements, and quality beers. I hope they live long and prosper!

Awesome little liquor store with a great selection. The owners are super friendly and really knowledgeable. Both of them were long time bartenders and will gladly recommend the best liquor for whatever youre planning.

One of the best selections of tequila and mezcal Ive seen. Usually stuff that yiu dont see often in the US. Jason truly knows his craft.

Bar is set for other liquor stores due to this place, Kiki is the best, probably the most customer friendly and knowledgeable place to get your stuff. No frills, great pricing, and they do so much more than any other place. Thanks for making such a great local business have a special feel to it!

It shook!

Great prices, large selection, good location.

Best little liquor store in Texas! Always a win and great barrel picks!

I gave a star for the wife, who was great, but it would have been one star for the husband whose condescension began when he literally rolled his eyes at me after I walked in asking a question about how and what to buy at their store to get started learning to mix drinks. I was the only customer at the time.She came out and was helpful, and I think she seemed a little concerned about my treatment, so I purchased some stuff on recommendation that time. Maybe he was having a bad day but I havent been back since.

The owners were in the bar tending business for a very long time before starting this new venture and theyre both incredibly knowledgeable about alcohol and the bar tending tools they sell. Additionally, Dave is a cicerone, which is like a beer sommelier. If you walk in and give them some idea of the type of alcohol or beer that you like, they will work with you to figure out the perfect items for you. They havent steered me wrong yet. What a great place!

If you are looking for that unique whiskey, scotch, bourbon, and generally anything spirit related, The Austin Shaker is your spot. Kiki and David have done an amazing job selecting some of the finest offerings available. On top of that they are awesome people to hangout and talk with about all things adult beverage related.This place is not Specs or Twin Liquors, they care about the products selected for their shelves. Ive been fortunate to have found unique and hard to find bourbons thanks to their incredible connections.They also do a wonderful job catering to those who love crafting a fine tasting cocktail, with barwares to support the endeavour.Hands down the best liquor store in Austin.

A great stop, the staff was super willing to talk and discuss and lead me towards Rey Campero Espadin Mezcal, which I hadnt tried and is delicious

Friendly Knowledge owners. Good selection. I like that they do Raffles for their Rare stuff not everyone has the time to hunt for the rare stuff.

I love this local liquor store. They stock a lot of Texas liquors and know exactly whats best for the at-home-cocktail connoisseur.

Awesome independent wine and spirits store with a great selection of hand picked items.

Strong barrel program here featuring bottles from Barrell, Whistle Pig, Russells Reserve, and Wathens with more to come.The staff is knowledgeable and the selection is excellent. Vintage glassware is a nice touch as well.

Excellent variety of interesting liquors and the staff always has good insight and recommendations. Additionally, they carry neat vintage glassware and good barware.

Great selection of lesser known excellent liquors.

Employees were very friendly and the place was organized and clean

Consistently my favorite liquor store in Austin. Great people that are very knowledgeable, small but carefully curated selection of products to fit all of your home bar needs for cocktails. Wide selection of amaros, vermouths, and bitters

This place rocks! If you need SoCo Ginger Beer - they stock it fresh! Great knowledge and selection.

The owners are the best. Very friendly and knowledgeable about the products. They remember me every time I am there.

What a great bunch, welcoming and knowledgable. If you dont stop in youre doing yourself a disservice.

Theyve really made a neighborhood store. Very friendly, well informed, eager to help, and a great selection. Plus theyre so nice, its like Cheers, but you cant drink there.

Very nice assortment of spirits and bar accessories

Amazing and friendly customer service every time, highly knowledgeable staff, and a great selection. Dave & Kiki and the crew are phenomenal!

I highly recommend this place if youre looking for a wide and unique selection. It is definitely not the liquor store you go to if youre looking to buy a handle of Fireball, Jose Cuervo and a few of those disgusting, pre-made jello shots in the little plastic cups.Despite the large selection of... well everything... the staff the day I visited were super helpful in guiding me through the forest of different brand labels on each of the shelves to find what I needed.

This is a great liquor store for the cocktail nerd. The owners are super nice, and very knowledgeable. And they have a great selection of booze, bitters, and barware.

Extremely knowledgable owner & staff, and very friendly. Fantastic selection of liqueurs and spirits with some you wont be able to find anywhere else in Austin! This is the local cocktail supply store that Austin has been needing.

For running my card twice, upsell me something next time. Eye really liKe this place, I purchased the cutest accessories for drinkers fortay...and sampled a new recipe. Believe it or not I kept the bottle too. This place is still fairly new but, definitely broken in.

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff along with an excellent selection of fine products. One of my favorite places to shop.

Love it! Hard to find rums gray selections for your tiki bar.

Why would you pay 25% more for the same thing you can buy at twin liquors. This place is a rip off 😂

Great family run business. Caters to the whole community. The owners​ are super friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable.

Awesome shop. 🔥 Raffle

First time visit was amazing. Great staff and got lots of help.

Awsome owners very clean n great vibes.

Fantastic selection of beer and craft liquor. Personable, extremely knowledgeable owners. Hands down, my go to liquor store from now on.

The space is nice and cozy. Went there for a beer tasting and now they have a new customer. Dont know if they were the owners or just staff but they were friendly and that won me over. Ill be back!

Love the couple that owns this place. They are friendly and just all around good people.
