Love this place! Trisha, the manager is so helpful. She always has great suggestions of new wines to try. The store is never crazy busy, so if you do have a question, its very easy to find someone. The Saturday tastings are fun too, and informative!
One of my favorite places before COVID. Usually a great selection of craft beer and bourbon but today was lower on stock. The outside vendors were having mask issues. Highly recommend and hope to give five stars the next time.
There are two alcohol mega marts in Springfield. While this is not my favorite, theres little bad to say about them. Were it not for Binnys, these guys would be untouchable as the best place to buy alcohol in Springfield.Selection: This is wonderful. They have a huge selection, not just varieties of alcohol, but covering a large spectrum of pricing as well.Staff: Staff here are always friendly, helpful, and seemingly very knowledgeable about their products. In my personal experience, the staff here is actually better than Binnys and I think that says a lot as Binnys staff are above average.Pricing: this is where Binnys seems to have them beat. We cross shop these stores frequently and almost every time, Binnys is cheaper.All in all, a great place to buy alcohol!
There is the widest selection of alcohol I’ve ever seen. I don’t drink alcohol, but I came here to buy for family. I would recommend for anyone who drinks alcohol or is gifting it to others like ourselves. Side note: you also get a $5 discount for writing a review. I wrote this as I’m checking and the cashier basically told me I’m out of luck for the discount- don’t advertise for something your not giving out!
They dont have knowledge about the wines..
Best selection and prices in Springfield - I always shop here for all my import and craft beer needs. But most of all appreciate the unmatched customer service. Shop here - you won’t be disappointed!
I went in today and was looking for a certain product. It was out. I asked a employee Nick and he was so helpful. He went in the back and found me a six pack. Then as I was in the check out line the cashier Chad was amazing as well. There were 2 people in front of me and his great charisma made everyone smile. It was great.
Friar Tuck has a great selection of wines and lots of home brew equipment. I appreciate all the items that they keep in stock.
The Springfield, IL location of Friar Tuck is great for finding beers that arent distributed in Missouri. Prices are mostly fair.
Had what I needed/wanted and less expensive than Binnys. Always friendly staff.
Cant find it?... probably can here! Or something similar!
Always have helpful people to point me to exactly what I need. Have an excellent home brewing section and will take the time to talk to you. I always recommend this store the selection is great you can find anything here
Really good prices and service but beer selection is geared toward craft and independent often out of stock of the Big four.
Had Glenmorangie and huge selection of everything :)
Great selection of beer and wine PLUS homebrew supplies.
Friendly, helpful and courteous staff with a huge selection of not only alcoholic beverages, but also cigars and beverage accessories with great prices. As well as decent in-store promotions.
Had a great experience. Good collection, we’ll organized and helpful staff.
Just like any retail experience, it’s the employees just as much as the store itself that make or break it. I was helped by a knowledgeable member of the staff who knew exactly what I needed. She was nice and professional.
Planning my husbands 50th and had been looking for items for gift bags. Contacted Friar tuck and spoke with Trisha. THANK GOODNESS!!!! She quickly assisted me & had absolutely what I needed much more reasonable than a competitor for the quantity of items needed.
They have a really good selection and the staff has always been great to work with but the prices are going to be a little higher than what you would find at most other places (grocery store and Bennys). I would recommend them for kegs though
So many choices I had to ask the employees for help and they did a great job! Loved the wine and my friend loved the apple pie moonshine I got her. Prices are reasonable
Wide selection. Kinda pricy but you can find many brands here. Unless it is a popular item, most brews are 6 packs only. Many wines and spirits but it would help to have knowledgeable staff for wine selection.
One of the best stores on the planet. They have a great selection of beers, wines, and liquors from all over the world, including things I’ve never been able to find elsewhere. Highly recommend!
A large store with a wide selection of wine, beer, and spirits. They also offer the widest selection of minis that I have seen in the springfield area as well as various starter equipment for home brew kits.
Great selection of alcohol, particularly a large absinthe selection. Friendly staff every time I go. Able to find what I need easily. Very orderly stocking to help out too.
Same experience as another reviewer here, tried to return old (years expired) beer and was greeted with rude manager Trisha who refused to do a return. She clearly has no business being in the position she is in. After swearing off of this place for a couple years, we reluctantly returned tonight and roughly 3/4 of the beer we looked at was past the best by date. This is a unsurprising continued failure of their management. Save yourself the trouble and head to Binnys.
Great selection. High on price but thats to be expected on a far west store. Friendly helpful staff but the location is very out of the way unless you live on the west side.
Beautiful new, huge store with a tremendous beer and wine selection! Ive gone into this store several times in search of wines! Although they have a great selection of wine, including pricy wine, there is never anyone around to recommend a particular wine! I, for one, will never pay $60 for a bottle of wine without knowing a little bit about it! The store is in dior need of knowledgeable sales people to offer the consumer some direction when making a wine purchase! Most of the people working there either dont know or dont care about whether a person purchases a $60 bottle of wine or a $10 bottle of wine! They are simply indifferent about the store increasing sales! Bad management!!!!! If I owned this big store which has a wine inventory worth thousands of dollars, I would certainly have knowledgeable, friendly and enthusiastic sales people on hand to sell it!!!
Love the purple toad wines they carry. The staff is always super helpful.
This was my 2nd visit to this store and I have to say it was much better than my 1st. Manager on duty was very knowledgable in Bourbon and Whiskey.Was super excited to get an allocated bottle for a reasonable price.
Great selection and even better prices. Friar Tucks is by far the best liquor store in Springfield!
Christmas eve I rode my bicycle 7 1/2 miles round trip .. The advertised deals i came for were sold out.. That i can understand .. So I looked around., The manager was tailing me all over the store.. I was going to purchase some red star DADY yeast for $6.99 and try to find another deal so i could make the 15 dollar minimum to receive $5 credit when i give googol review .. When out of nowhere the Mark yanked the yeast out of my hand and told me I needed to come with him.. I told him I didnt need to go anywhere with him .. He intimidated me enough to leave the premisis tailing me and prodding me the whole time.. Public humiliation,, On top of physically assaulting me , puplicly humilliating me and intimidating me to leave the scene he also threatened to call the cops if he ever seen me again,, Im the victim here and i was coerced away from the scene of the crime that was commited against me.. Why would anyone allow such a person to work for them?? I tried calling the owner but i got to talk to the same person who threw me out , when i asked the reason that I was so forcefully ejected he told me that I was planning on helping myself to that yeast.. at no time did I conceal merchandise or commit any other crime.. The only thing i done wrong was choose the wrong place to shop.. I was threatend with the poloce if i did not leave immediately and my response was go ahead and call them but he declined to call.. Having no phone I decided it best to leave before i was attacked more aggressively than i already was.. Knowing this is the holliday season and the police are busy enough I decided not to call them.. Although I committed no crime it was me who was threatened with legal consequences if i shoud ever return.. The way that man treated me makes me believe he mistreats others the same way.. I wished to contact the owners but i was stonewalled.... Google review is where i will start.. Since the offender has no desier to appologize then this reviw will stay until a SINCERE apology is given.. and part of that appology means he needs to treat others with respect.. even those he thinks he can get by with mistreating.... MERRY XMAS
Very friendly and helpful staff. Great place to buy booze from.
They are helpful and knowledgeable here. They have a great selection and good prices. I found drinks here that I couldnt find other places, too. We will be back!
Ive had great experiences here. The staff is friendly and works with you to find what you are looking for. Ive also received some great recommendations that keep me coming back for more.
My go to place for my favorite Ol Smokey Moonshine in all flavors. Noone else never has the dane selection. Been shopping with them 10 yrs great service!!
This place is a godsend for any serious, discerning drinker. With an unbelievable selection and great prices this blows any liquor store I have ever been to out of the water... I even found a Seattle Microbrew that I had only seen in Washington state when I was stationed at Fort Lewis! Thank you Friar Tuck for helping me find an old favorite!
People that work here are always down to earth and friendly. Its actually relaxing to shop here.
Great store with excellent. Though I cant seem to find wine. Very difficult to find my favorites
Great selection and excellent service. Nice and bright atmosphere. I will certainly return and recommend other people visit.
Stopped in to bring beer back to Michigan, and was amazed at the selection of micro-brew. Staff and customers were both helpful in suggesting beers to buy. Definitely worth the stop.
If you need help with wine ask they know what theyre talking about. Good selection reasonably good prices, maybe a little on the high side in comparison to Sams or Walmart or schnucks or Meijer. but the selection and the help is way better.
Was out on the shelf what we were looking for, went in the back to look, almost gave up and then they come out with what we were looking for.
Really nice people - was asked to join the reward program - then was told my coupon was no good - Going to Binnys now but they have really nice people - staff nice - do not sign up for reward program
Very polite staff.. good section of beer looks like a good selection of liquor. But Im a beer drinker so thats what I was looking at.
Courtney was extremely helpful. She walked me to the bottles I searched for. She was very personable and professional. 10/10 fantastic services!
Always a great stop. Wide variety of wines and beers. Even specialty soda. Prices vary based on what you purchase but always fair prices.
Location has an extremely large variety of items but the pricing is rather High. It is difficult to see from the road period usually anything that you require in beverages it will probably carry. Staff is relatively helpful but tend to not offer extra assistance.
Always have what I am looking for and at reasonable prices. Employees are very friendly and helpful.
Top end or specialty liquor store. Lots of varying of craft beer and wine. Large selection of hard liquor and DIY kits for beer/wine. They have tasting events and such often as well.
EXCELLENT staff and a nice, attention to detail store with adequate inventory!

Best beer selection in town! Lots of good mixed 12-15 packs from breweries. I like to try everything so this works for me!
I think Im in love with this store. Rivals and in many aspects exceeds BevMo. They even have home brewing supplies. Unbelievable selection and competitive prices.
We love going to Friar Tuck. They have a large variety and always something new to try. Prices are good too!
Great selection. Most of the employees are nice, though one lady tends to treat people like they are idiots, so minus a star.
Great inventory and friendly service. Good location for home brewers.
To my knowledge, this is the biggest liquor store in Springfield. It should also be mentioned that this place is very clean and professional. Keep up the great work!
Helpful staff with a mix of alcohols, including some IL wines.
It carries Revolution Brewery from Chicago, which is awesome, but the Pipeworks Brewery stuff is unbelievable. Will be interesting when Binnys opens up down the road
Great selection and friendly staff.
Unbelievably great selection of beer, wine, and liquor with good prices and a friendly staff.
Its has plenty of options and is a well organized, clean store. There are not too many sale options here so if its cheap youre looking for, youre options are limited though existant.
Good stop for beer and wine. Whiskey selection is pretty standard with some high end bottles at secondary prices.
This is our favorite liquor store. The new location is really nice. The staff is friendly, and they have a little bit of everything.
Great selection of ales and easy to find. Friendly staff and prices better than competitors.
Huge selection with every type of alcohol/mixer you could need. If youre having trouble finding a type of alcohol look here, they probably have it or their staff would be able to point you in the right direction of a good substitute
Awesome selection! Friendly staff. They have everything Ive ever needed.
I love this place. The selection is insane!
I like the excellent selection of IPAs. Two Hearted Ale, aaworld class IPA from Bells Brewery of Michigan, Founders of Michigan, and selections from Point Brewery in Wisconsin.

Been shopping here forever. The place is the best in town. And they take care of you.
The place is super cool, has a huge selection and Danielle is super sweet!
Worst experience Ive every had returning a broken cork screw. As soon as the sales associate gave Trisha the manager the broken corkscrew and told her we have another broken one. The manager was being belligerent and obnoxious. accused my husband of breaking the cork screw because he apparently did not know how to use, and that it didnt take a rock-a-scientist to figure it out! I can tell you I will never step foot back into that store again!! I was appalled at her behavior and to think the gentleman that was at the register returning our money was an assistant manager and did not say a word to her!! Her behavior was completely out of line. Your stores are Awesome you have such a huge selection of alcohol, but I can promise you having Trisha manage your Springfield store or any is not a good idea!
They have everything! And if they don’t have it they’ll tell you were you can get it. The staff are knowledgeable about beers and are very polite.
Incredibly wonderful selection. So very helpful. Always stop in when I come to IL.

2022-05-08Great selection and decent prices. It is pleasant to shop here, as it is not crazy busy all the time. The manager is very helpful and has helped me choose a decent wine on more than one occasion.
Review №2
2022-06-21We are from out of town/state. In our two visits here we stopped by both times. This place has everything and the staff is crazy friendly and helpful!This isnt a knock on Friar Tucks, but I found it strange that ALL the hard liquor is either locked up or has that buzzer thing on it that sets off the alarm if you leave the store with it. Is booze theft that bad in this little town? LolAnyway, great experience both times weve been there. Highly recommend.

2021-01-19I have been desperately looking for a specific wine. I found it here! The wine selection is unlike anything Ive seen. Brian was very helpful and informative. He made my selection much easier! I will be back. Worth the long drive for me.

2020-10-26A local favorite with a large selection of wines you are sure to find one you will enjoy. There are cigars and other gifts.It is a well stocked with wines, liquors and other spirits. You will find selections grouped together by type so you do not have to search the whole store for your favorite.Ask any clerk about your selections they can assist you and even point out the many locally sourced wines in our area.
