Best Insider Hooch

Wiggy's Liquor Store

This gem of a liquor store has been an insider secret for decades, nestled in Clarksville on West Sixth Street inside a building over 100 years old. Wiggy’s has an entire room devoted to wine, and not one, but two walk-in humidors. Big deal? Well, considering that Wiggy's is an independent business (owned by a former manager of 25 years) that effortlessly straddles the fence between extremely knowledgeable and friendly (read: unpretentious) service, it’s easy to see why Wiggy’s is a beloved Austin institution. A real neighborhood joint for both the snob and novice.
