Fossil Creek Liquor

Great craft beer selection BUT overpriced and not near as cold as it should be. Even the energy drink I purchased was barely cold. That could be a just stocked item, but not the beers I purchased (several times). Staff was nice enough, helpful, and suggestive.

I’m new to the area, decided to try Fossil Creek Liquors for the first time and had a good experience.
We came searching for beer, and found the selection well-​organized. They featured some beers we had not tried. I found Young’s double chocolate Stout for $ 3.99 per pint bottle.
The staff was friendly, we didn’t require any help but observed them helping other customers and they seemed knowledgeable. Overall a good first experience. We’ll be back!

I’m just sick of this place. I stop in sometimes because it’s a convenient location, but they are so over priced — especially their craft beer. They are consistently 1 to 2 dollars over any other store whether it be a grocery store or even a convenience store. I’ve asked them why they charge so much and they said it’s because they don’t buy in bulk. Well why do they still need to charge 2 dollars more than the mom and pop convenience store down the street. A 12 pack of Sam adams for 17.99! That is ridiculous! At least have some decent brew on sale once in a while. Not only that, everyone in there acts like a jerk. I can’t wait until a goody goody or specs comes to this side of the 35 and I don’t have to come here anymore.

Pretty basic liquor store. Prices are good overall; Though I feel like they’re a tad bit higher on some of the wines, but that’s nothing to keep me away. I think I just like this store because it’s a 3 minute drive from my parents house, and I can get here quick when I come back in town for the holidays…
The employees work fast, and diligently, so FCL won’t hold you up if you’re in a rush!

Well ive been here 500 times it seems as it’s closet to my house. It used to be an unfriendly place I felt. That changed a years ago. Beer selection is good, wine selection decent and liquor selection average. Scotch selection is average at best and same goes with whiskey. Place is clean, service is fast. Perhaps the state of Texas will reconsider the liquor laws and actually sell to 12 am. At least 10 pm for God’s sake.

Parking lot is insufficient considering this is one of the few liquor stores in Arlington. Gl on Saturday night getting out within 25 minutes. That isn’t the main reason I’m downvoting. This is in Dalworthington gardens, which has a police force that has nothing better to do than pull people over for the lightest offenses. That lamp above your license plate that you didn’t even know existed, well, they will pull you over for that if its dead. I already have anxiety and paranoia issues, last thing I need is to deal with a cop, sober, over a lamp light coming home from work.
In the store itself, well, its small and usually pretty busy after work hours. The people who work there give off weird intense vibes. That isn’t necessarily bad, I just don’t prefer it. These are my biases, its by no means a bad establishment in a more objective sense. Parking lot traffic is the main thing to worry about.

Meh, what can I say? They get the job done. If they were located closer to the highway, it’d be better. The staff is knowledgable, wine selection decent at best, and prices are fairly reasonable. The store is always busy but people move quickly. Can’t say I’m in love, but I’m not in hate either.

This place had a full parking lot of cars when I visited in the middle of the day. It was super clean and very organized. I’m fairly positive that this location was busy because the staff was so friendly and helpful (they actually know their liquor) and the prices were dirt cheap.
Most bottles were marked down by at least $ 5, and they had nearly everything in stock. I was very pleased with my experience here. I’m only going to Fossil Creek locations to get my liquor from now on.

This place has the best craft beer selection in this area. It doesn’t quite get on Spec’s level, but they have a really decent selection that only improves every time we go visit, plus they’re a lot closer than Spec’s. They have plenty of stuff that I’ve never tried before (and I’ve tried a LOT) and every time I go back they have even more new craft brews in stock.
I was really glad to have found this place so quickly upon moving to the area. We had just found Hall’s after living in Euless for two years right before we moved, so we were worried there wasn’t going to be anything with a decent craft selection in the area.
I pestered the guys behind the counter to please get some DEBC cans in stock, and it took a little while but they finally did. I appreciate them looking out for me on that.

I am not much of a drinker, but I was looking for GOOD champagne for the guys at work for New Years (I had missed Christmas). So I stopped at Majestic and at the Liq-​r-​mart at Blue Mound Road and 820 — Nada. Nothing but the usual grocery store brands of $ 20 champagne. Not going to give the CEO that stuff.
Not expecting much I stop here at Fossil Creek. They had a good selection of much better champagne — up into $ 100 a bottle for champagne highly rated on the net. It was a quick in-​and-​out shopping trip during lunch so I can’t comment on much else. It seemed clean and the lines moved quickly when the place was packed — so they get good marks there. You aren’t hanging out in a place like this anyway — right? But to me, selection is pretty important and this shop hit the mark dead on.

They’ve got what I need!

Went in looking for small bottles of liquor to flavor baked goods, nut milks, etc. The man I spoke with was very nice and answered all my questions. I enjoyed speaking to him, and he even made some suggestions on flavors to try in baked goods. I will be back and send my baking students here for creative inspirations. Thanks!
P. s. The Tres Leches Crème tastes great in homemade soy milk ;-)

Used to the closest, and our «go to», liquor store to our old house. It’s not terribly large, but its selection should get the job done. Unless you are looking for something very unusual, I’m sure you’ll be able to find something to consume from the adequate beer, wine and liquor selection.

Nice selection buy not the best prices.

Great liquor store. Good selection, might not have specialty or off the beaten path bottles, but, if you ask they will order for you. But, you have to ask nice. People are great here too, the owner had my kids convinced she had a polar bear in the beer cooler… LOL…the kids made me walk in first!!! Was a hoot.
I drive past The Colony on the way home from work… and will pass it by to go out of my way to Fossil Creek.

Well, it’s a store. And it has liquor. So what’s not to like? First of all, it’s not closer to my house than Majestic Liquor off Loop 820 at Randol Mill Road (both are 11 – 12 miles from my house). But that’s not their fault. Second, they didn’t have enough of what I wanted to buy.
I’ve been here a little over 2 years and I’m still very irritated by the fact that I have to make special trips to get ‘my fixins’. That’s a special trip using my time and gas (actually my car’s, not mine unless I’ve been to Chipotle). So when I do make the special trip, I usually buy 3 – 4 weeks worth of my usual so I don’t run out (especially on a Sunday).
When I saw the 2 reviews for this place, I knew it wasn’t any closer to my house, but I run a lot of errands along 377 and figured it would be convenient to pop over from there. And it would be except for the fact that they don’t stock quantity of one of my Negroni ingredients (a Negroni is sort of an Italian martini — equal parts gin, sweet vermouth, Campari). Guess which one? They only had one bottle of Campari. I asked one of the guys if they had any more in the back and he said that he doesn’t buy it by the case, but just a few bottles at a time since a case would sit there for about a year since hardly anyone buys it. Well okey-​dokey then.
This liquor store is clean and seems to be well-​stocked with the usual suspects, so it would do quite nicely for most people most of the time. I think, though, if you like specialty items it might be hit or miss. In my case, I could make the drive over to Fossil Creek and they’d still be out (since I bought the last bottle) and I’d end up groovin’ down the 820 anyway. A double waste of time. And gas.
PS — It would be really nice to be able to buy liquor at the local Kroger while I’m making my other purchases, but as a compromise I would be OK with buying at a separate liquor store but one that is near my house. Is that really asking too f@#*ing much?!

Liquor. LIQUOR. Not beer or wine, or below 5 percent or any of those stupid rules but pure, glorious 70, 80, 90 proof liquor.
That’s all I will say.
