J. Barleycorn Liquor Barn

To be completely honest, I’ve never really been blown away or impressed with the selection or service at J. Barleycorn’s. I have always been able to find something that I have needed (with the exception of mini Bota Boxes) but I have never noticed any offering, selection or deal that’s a true bargain. When passing through the area and needing to make a pit stop for some booze, I won’t turn around but I also won’t go in expecting to find something special or be asked if I need any assistance.

Always friendly and helpful employees at this store, great selection of wines & spirits and good prices.
Tuesday is 10% off all of your wines purchases.
Business Hours: Monday-​Saturday 8am-​11pm, Closed Sundays because we are in Bible Belt.
Cheers J. Barleycorn !

Not the very best package store in town but still a very solid choice. If
Unilocal allowed half stars I would probably give it 3.5.
Prices are lower than the ridiculous levels you will find at most of your local corner stores but still not as cheap as the two booze bargain champions of Nashville, Frugal and Midtown. As far as selection this place is once again in the same boat, better than most but still not the very best.
I’ve never seen it get too ghetto and checkout is always rather seamless… not too much small talk but just enough to make you feel welcome. I’ve actually received some really great recommendations from staff here. They turned me on to Schafly’s Russian Imperial Stout which has evolved into one of my all time favorite high gravity beers. On that note, the beer store is rather commendable as well. They have a fairly hefty collection of craft beers and also a small selection of mix and match your own 6 pack.
If you don’t feel like driving further downtown for slightly cheaper and slightly better selections, you can do just fine with a stop at Barelycorn.

Great store. Can’t say a whole lot more. They have a HUGE selection of beers, wines and liquors. I’ve never not found something I was looking for here.
Yes, this is the place with the boat sitting on the corner of Harding and Antioch Pike.
Tuesdays have a 10% off sale.

My husband is a bit of a beer connoisseur, and when he’s looking for a specialty beer, this is where we go. They also carry a wide variety of wines and spirits. While the selection certainly isn’t as large as our Chicago haunt, it certainly works for our needs.
