AB Liquor #2

Moon was extremely helpful as soon as I came in the door, he greeted me. He was very friendly down to earth and the vibes in there were kicking definitely a place. I would do my business from here on out. With ❤️🍸

This awesome local liquor store is a MUST check out. Sam owns the Sunrise Mini Mart next door which is also freaking amazing (hand selected craft beer, wines, coffee, Lick ice cream, etc) so I already knew this place would be great. Besides being super stylish on the interior and smelling of fresh cut wood, they have a outstanding variety of curated liquors which makes it hard to choose what to buy. Try to catch Spencer... He took time to walk around with me and point out his favorites, as well as put together the "Staff Picks" shelf. I was particularly impressed with their mezcal selection. You won't be disappointed!

Been coming here ever since for about a month my first interaction regular customer service with the young man he wasn't rude or anything but when I met Moon different customer service very knowledgeable on the product I hate trying new things but he got me very fast very nice appreciate you Moon 💪

Tons of great Japanese liquor choices! They occasionally have Hibiki and Yamazaki. You can even find strong zero here!!! (-196 as it's called here)

Absolutely love AB Liquor Store! This place is a hidden gem and a true standout in the neighborhood. The owner, Sam, is nothing short of fantastic—warm, welcoming, and truly dedicated to his customers. He goes above and beyond to take care of his regulars, always greeting you with a smile and a friendly chat. It’s so refreshing to walk into a store where you’re treated like a friend, not just a transaction. Unlike so many other stores that take advantage with sky-high prices on limited/ allocated products, Sam keeps everything fair and affordable. His prices are extremely reasonable, and his selection is top-notch. Whether you’re looking for a rare bottle, your everyday favorite, or something new to try, Sam’s shelves are always well-stocked and thoughtfully curated. The customer service here is hands-down the best. Sam and his staff are always courteous, helpful, and genuinely care about your experience. They’re happy to offer suggestions or track down a special item for you. You can tell they take pride in what they do and truly value their customers. The store is always clean, well-organized, and easy to navigate, which makes shopping a pleasure. There’s never any pressure—just a genuinely friendly, down-to-earth vibe that makes you want to keep coming back. AB Liquor Store is the kind of place every neighborhood wishes it had. Sam is a local legend for a reason! If you haven’t checked it out yet, you’re missing out. Highly, highly recommend!

Great selection of curated liquor. Helpful and knowledgeable staff.

Extensive mezcal selection. Great bourbon and tequila selections. They don’t waste time with beer as they sell beer next door. Moon always has the best suggestions and is one of my favorite liquor store clerks in Austin!!!!

*****friendly staff and great selection.. showed up at 8:58, 2 minutes before closing and they are very cool about pushing my order through and not worried about staying over for a minute or two.. a very rare when it comes to liquor stores.. five stars. good job AB liquor

Mr Moon is the coolest cat in town! Very knowledgeable, will recommend only but the best, I love their selection and they carry my favorite tequila La Santa Reposado Pink

A great little liquor and wine store. I didn't recognize one label but talked to the very knowledgeable staff and found wonderful values and great new producers in both wine and spirits. Try the Monopolaya gin

A small group of us encountered this liquor store by chance yesterday for my boyfriend's birthday. We had spent the earlier part of the day bar-hopping, hunting for the perfect Old Fashioned cocktail (his favorite drink). This was closest to the most recent bar we visited, and I had assumed that it would have been like any other liquor store experience, a quick 5 to 7 minute visit, grab and go. The storefront was small, the store name unassuming, but as soon as we stepped inside, I was pleasantly surprised. The interior is a charming, modern Austin space, and it somehow also made it feel like we were in a totally different city. At the front of the store, one of the workers had set up a tasting table and offered some mezcal and then an incredible mixed drink. Both the initial worker we saw and the second one at that time were so knowledgeable and inviting. We mused at the universally harmonious coincidence when the second person offered us a cocktail mixer that would pair perfectly with the mezcal we were just enjoying. We had also been looking for a good starter whiskey to introduce my boyfriend's younger brother and the advice was so thorough. It helped to hear from two people that clearly have experience and passion for what they do. We learned a lot yesterday during our visit and it was the perfect stop for us to make on that day. We left with recommendations that we are actually enjoying right now! Hope to visit again soon and wish this business the best!

Just opened up (soft opening) and they had an ammmmmaaazzziing batch of Rey Campero Espadin on hand. Oralé!

Great selection of whiskey and bourbon and great folks too. Glad to have someone so close in the neighborhood that isn't a big box liquor store and is local.

Knowledgeable. Great customer service. Friendly atmosphere. I'm definitely recommending this establishment to friends

So excited to have this in the neighborhood! Interior is really tastefully done and a nice ambiance. We were really impressed by the selection and guidance. It's not often the owner of a store introduces you to a cheaper (and tastier) liquor than what you intended to buy. We will be back!
