Big Daddy's Liquor Store & Carry Out

Appreciate the late hours! I work 2nd shift. The spot was thick thick!! . Price are reasonable and all my needs were there! IFYKYK

Big Daddy, my dear friend. How many times have you saved the after-party? How many times have I thought the night was over and you came to the rescue? Too many times to count, that's for sure.Blocks down from Newport on the Levee, Big Daddy's is a drive-thru liquor store open until exactly 2:30 am (unlike the area bars which claim to be open as late but stop serving around 2). Here's a typical encounter at Big Daddy's. Cars snake around the entire building, sometimes down the street, but each one moves through the line with amazing rapidity. You roll down your window (or more likely your taxi's window) and are questioned "Whatcha need?" in a brusque, urgent tone. This is no time to hem and haw. You better know what you want and order it fast. Their selection is pretty wide, so don't bother questioning the clerk whether they have this or that. No cash? Give the clerk a credit card and you'll definitely feel his or her bitterness, as you hold up the line while the card is approved. While the customer service is nothing to boast about, Big Daddy's has reliable hours that give you ample to time to close the bar and make it through their line before 2:30 am.

Hey a liquor store! It was the only thing near us open on New Year's Day. Very good selection, but they lost a star due to the .75 charge for using a card. Best bring your cash money! Had lots of beers, wine, and a drive through.

This is the craziest type liquor stores that I've ever seen in my life. It is mostly a drive thru with a horrible and needs paved parking lot. You can enter the store after 7pm and stand in an approximately 8X8 section of this store and wait to be handed the liquor, beer, and I assume wine that you ask for( I say that because you can't see what the store has . I will say that the staff was polite to me. THIS IS JUST ABOUT THE MOST ASININE THING I'VE EVER SEEN

The Big D was shut down a few years ago for allegedly serving to minors but they have been reopened for quite a length of time and continue to serve Newport's late night drinkers. It's almost more fun to walk in instead of taking advantage of the drive through service. There is usually one or two thug life boys inside that shamelessly hit on pretty girls and instead of angering the window guy, you can browse the limited beverage selection at your leisure. If you do choose do use the drive through, know what you want ahead of time and try to get there with at least ten minutes to spare. The staff will often try to run stuff out to the next few cars right before closing time but if you're not lucky you'll get stuck five cars back and head home without your after-party drinks.

While I usually hit Party Source for all my alcoholic purchases, this place came in handy for a time that I don't need an overwhelming selection and was in a hurry. I did not use the drive thru but after driving by this place countless times, I can tell you that it is often 3-5 cars deep. So, park your car and walk in. And speaking of walk in, I accidentally walked right behind the counter thinking it was part of the store. Oh well, I've done worse things in stores. The workers there are pretty cool and I am sure have stories that would make a sailor blush. They did ID me which is a charming thing. Prices were ok after factoring in the convenience of this place. Selection was fine and their fridges have ample supply of everything from bubbly to beer.

I say this is the place to go when its late in the morning and majority bars are shutting down. This place stays open til 2:30am everyday of the week except Sunday. They offer walk in or drive thru however you go through drive through you better know ahead time what you want. They do not like to be held up and prefer get the customers in and out and keep the lines moving. Occasionally you can catch a glimpse some drama popping off in the lots with intoxicated people and people refusing pay cabs once get rides there however this is the spot to go.

Always open even on Sundays, love having my neighborhood liquor store within walking distance....drive thru is convenient also

It's the hood spot but it was cool when I went. And there's a drive thru as well. SO, if it's cold, raining, or you just in your pajamas and you don't want to get out the cAr; just slide in the drive thru
