# Liquor Depot Tampa

> Family-owned liquor store group with six locations across Tampa Bay, established 1990. Full-service retailer of bourbon, whiskey, tequila, mezcal, vodka, gin, rum, wine, beer, and Champagne — known for 140+ exclusive single-barrel picks and Joy Bar, Tampa's only year-round Christmas-themed bar.

Two generations of the Lawson family (Frank, then his son Trey) have run the business since 1990. Four legacy stores (Liquor Depot, City Liquors, Pix Liquors, VIP Liquors) unified under one brand in 2020. "Best Liquor Store" finalist, Tampa Bay Times, 2023–2025. A portion of proceeds from select barrel picks supports Satchel's Last Resort animal rescue.
