Friar Tuck

Went here for the first time yesterday, and it’s a craft beer lover’s heaven. The best selection I’ve ever seen. Staff was very friendly and took time to answer a few questions and even walked with me to parts of the store to show me items. Whether you need to pick up a few beers for watching the game or a bottle of wine for a nice dinner, I highly recommend this Friar Tuck.

Excellent selection of … Well everything. The staff are very helpful but YOU HAVE TO ASK.
Whether you’re picking up beverages for a party of 200 or just 1 you can find all your adult beverages at this location.

Chain or not, I’m pretty much a sucker for all specialty liquor stores. I came here on the way to a friends in a hurry to pick up some whiskey.
It’s big, has tons of merchandise, and it’s pretty easy to get help if you need. I usually like to wander a bit and check out all the different brands. I recommend finding a good website that can recommend different spirits/​beers/​wines to help make the experience more enjoyable. Otherwise you might as well close your eyes and pick at random!
I went with a Woodford Reserve bourbon. Not my favorite but I wanted to try something new. Next time I’m in a pinch and in the area I’ll be stopping by Friar Tucks.

very big selection and nice area make this a great selection for your liquor store.
in missouri, the grocery stores sell liquor sometimes with good deals making liquor stores less necessary. that makes larger liquor stores like friar tuck’s even more important as you would be coming bargain hunting or searching for the bottles they wouldn’t carry just anywhere. oh and i love the name. named for robin hood’s boozey pal. they appear to have tastings every saturday which i need to check out!
if you know what good prices are, you can definitely find some here! not the best price on everything, but they have people who can assist you and are mostly a one stop shop. spirits, wine, and beer.

Great selection of beer. I’ve been looking for a store to find some unique beers. This one will be a repeat visit for me. They also have a great selection of liquor and wine.
In the back of the store, you’ll find an area where you can mix and match single beers into a six pack or case. When I was there, it was $ 10 for a six pack and $ 32 for a case.
I think the prices can be a bit high on some beers, but you can’t beat the selection.

Been coming to Friar Tucks for quite a while now– normally when we run dry and are stocking up for a party— they have stopped carrying a couple of our favorite wines and beer which totally sucks– but they do have a great selection of other items. My advice for Friar Tucks— bring back SAINTE M wine!

Beer lovers rejoice, Friar Tuck’s is your haven. The best beer selection is STL that I have found is here at Friar Tuck’s. We live close to Randall’s on Jefferson and while that is convenient it doesn’t have the selection of Friar Tuck’s. It is worth the drive if you live in the city. They also carry lots of homebrew supplies which is handy.

Lots and lots of selection and variety! We have been searching for a harder-​than-​normal-​to-​find Japanese beer called Hitachino Nest and finally found it here! OK, yeah, it’s still around $ 4.50/bottle (regular-​sized bottle), but that’s about the price I’ve seen at other places.
They have this great section where you can fill an empty 6-​pack with a bunch of individual beers for $ 9.99 to make your own sampler pack. Clever idea. Only certain beers in this selection, but there are a bunch to choose from, and my impression is that the selection changes.
They also have THE largest selection of miniature alcohol bottles I’ve ever seen! They are well organized near the check-​out lanes.

Love this place! What a selection! The only issue is when I go in there, it takes me forever to decide what I want because they have everything.

I have friends who shop all the time at Friar Tuck’s for their alcoholic needs so I thought I’d try it out as I was looking for a specialty beer for my hubby on our anniversary.
It was huge — I didn’t know where to start!
I simply picked a wall and walked it like a grocery store, up and down, to look for what I needed. I finally found it and it was already chilled — score!
When checking out, they informed me of tastings they do and beer clubs to join so I signed up for a few of those notices. I don’t think this will be my last trip there!

I’m not sure where to start my review, which is how I felt when I walked into Friar Tuck’s for the first time… where do I begin. This store is huge!
I originally went in looking for some Pumpkin Spice Liqueur that I couldn’t find anywhere else and not only did FT have it, they had a large supply of it. Now that my main mission was completed I decided to look around. It took me about 40 minutes to check everything out. Needless to say I made some other purchases for a few more holiday libations.
You need to see Friar Tuck’s to really appreciate it. The walls are lined with bottles upon bottles of wine. The isles are filled with beers from good old St. Louis to (insert another place on the planet). And if you’re looking for spirits, well let’s just say that even Ebenezer Scrooge would be impressed.
The staff was friendly and helpful and the prices were comparable to other stores touting great prices. I’m a fan of Friar Tuck’s and will be going back.

I’ve been to the Gravios Bluffs location on numerous occasions. Upon entering the Watson location, I realized it’s the same wine/​beer/​liquor mecca that I am already enamored with. Seriously, they have everything for a drinker… cheese, flasks, travel bottles, picnic gear, specialty sodas complement their alcohol selection.

I had heard great things about Friar Tucks so I decided to check it out one weekend. When I first walked in I was extremely impressed, the store was very nice, and the selection was huge. After a few minutes of walking the store and looking at all the different wines and alcohol, I came to th realization that aside from the nice store and selection, it pretty much ended there because almost everything was priced much higher than Randall’s (Another St. Louis alcohol warehouse). If you dont mind paying anywhere from $ 2-​$ 10 more a bottle then Friar Tucks is your place, however if you want the best value for your dollar shop elsewhere… even Shop n’ Save has better prices.

Had no idea this place existed until a broke into a conversation with some other beer guys about where to pick up some of our unique favorites.
Friar Tuck is Awesome! The sheer size of the place is impressive, I’ve seen the selection before, but never to that grand of a scale!
They didn’t have the two wines i was hoping for that night, but they made up for it when i went to the fridged beer section for a few unique six packs.
That have some decent cigars too and since i’m a Punch guy it served me well even though they didn’t have the size i wanted (Corona) and had to settle for something a bit smaller (so i bough 4)

This is the the Taj Mahal of alcohol. It helps that it’s about 3 minutes from my house! They are really helpful here, and can tell you where anything is. They always ask if they can help you find anything. They have every variety known to man, seriously! Lots of beer and wine from local wineries and breweries and seasonal offerings as well.
They also sell cheese and other small bites so you could stop here and get stuff for a picnic. Also mixers every every type and cards/​bags in case you want to buy a bottle and give as a gift in a one stop shop.
This is definitely as good as it gets for a liquor store!

Gigantic and expensive, but overall an OK liquor store.
It has everything you want. A huge beer selection, huge wine selection, and huge liquor selection. It’s large, well lit, and nice inside. Don’t expect customer service, as there are usually 2 – 3 employees working the entire place, and most of them don’t have a clue what they’re doing.
I’ll stick with the beer. It’s usually $ 1 more than everywhere else in town. They do a poor job rotating their stock, and since it is so BRIGHT in there, all the beer gets light exposure like whoa. They also take 4 – 5 days after everyone else gets stuff in stock to put it out. For beer, there are better stores in town, but Friar Tuck works in a pinch, or when everyone else has already sold out.

What can I say that hasn’t been said about the booze mecca that is Friar Tucks? An easy stop on the way home from a tough day at work, an easy stop on your way to a BYOB, FT’s will set your loins aflame with quality and selection. What keeps me coming back to this location (Tuck’s is a local MO/​IL chain) is Kevin.
Kevin and Zac go way back. Our first visit, we heard someone call Z by his name and we both looked around, to see an old high school buddy of Z’s…from Jefferson City.
Ok, so it’s not all Kevin. This place is stupid close to my house and we would frequent regardless, but it’s nice to see a face we know when we walk into that overwhelming place. Kevin is super knowledgeable and always has beer recommendations on deck. On Saturdays, Kevin runs a tasting of wines and beers from 1 – 5. This is a great time to stop in a pick a beer nerd’s brain for info if you’re looking to try out some new brews and don’t know where to start.
The wine selection is massive and I’m not even going to pretend I understand it. Here’s how I pick wine at Friar Tucks– Walk to reds. Close eyes. Pick whatever I touch that’s under 10 bucks. It’s science.
Other fun facts:
Open until 10 most nights
Home brew materials available
Mixers, sodas, and other non-​alcoholic bubblies (even micro brew sodas that I love to spoil my little brothers with)
Cheese and snacks available
Drinking paraphernalia and gift packaging for those of you who like to give the gift of booze
Next door to Monkey Joe’s. If you find yourself dealing with this screaming child hell, sneak on over to Tucks and grab yourself a couple mini bottles to spike your soda with (or slam in parking lot)

I went to Friar Tuck’s to pick up a bottle of wine real fast for a dinner party, and found myself lost not only in their endless alcohol selection — but their accessories for wine lovers.
This is pretty much the Sam’s or Costco of Wine and Liquor.
I also found out they have the biggest collection of organic beers and alcohols, so for those trying to drink less processed adult beverages — this is totally for you!

Wow, talk about an alcoholic dying and going to heaven. This place is for grown ups what Toys R Us is for kids. Yea, it’s that good. I had a serious booze crush on another liquor store prior to seeking out and finding Friar Tuck, but that place is old news and I have my new booze crush in Friar Tuck.
This place is enormous for a wine/​liquor store, it’s like the Sam’s Club of wine/​liquor stores. Their wine selection is vast and very reasonably priced. This place has wines from places I’ve never even heard of, and from all the places that you would expect. If you can’t find it other places, I bet you can find it here. Will you find your favorite wine cheaper on sale some place else? Perhaps, but their everyday prices are great and hard to beat.
Their beer selection is equally impressive and they have a large selection of chilled beer as well which is always nice if you are picking something up on the way home to drink that night or on your way to a friends house bringing some frosty gifts. One other really cool thing they have, is make your own six packs. This is a great way to sample some new brews that you don’t want to purchase a whole six pack of in case you don’t like it.
As far as spirits go, I’ve only browsed them as that was not my purpose of my visit, but there were several long isles that were devoted to just spirits so they have to have quite a selection. My next trip I will have to peruse this section more.
Vast quantities of wine, beer and liquor, check. Awesome prices, check, friendly staff, check check. This place has got it all your bases covered. If you are throwing a party and need to stock up on beer and liquor, this is your place. If you are looking for a nice bottle of wine, this place has plenty. On Saturdays they do tastings, and not just of wine. I was introduced to one of my new favorite brews, Magic Hat #9, at Friar Tucks.
This place is Afreakingmazing, and has become my go to place when I need to do some shopping for adult beverages. My only complaint, is I wish there was one close to where I lived, but I will gladly make the drive to pay them a visit and so should you.

Lubb Lubb Lubb… Friar Tucks. Picture Wal-​Mart with only beer cheese and wine.
The only thing that would make this place better is if they had Presidente Beer from the Dominican.
My husband recently moved to the states from England and was use to more «stout» beers, ales, lager, etc. We had such issues getting him use to Americanized beers (Budweiser, MGD, etc.) Now we can pick up stuff here and on occasion play around the world. (Where we get beers from around the world and try them.)
You can build your own six pack which is nice so you don’t get stuck drinking pack of crap that sits in your frig for months.
Also their wine selection is pretty top-​notch for St. Louis. I was really impressed.
