Liquor in the Front is the third album by Reverend Horton Heat. It was jointly released by Sub Pop and Interscope Records in July 1994. Al Jourgensen of Ministry fame produced the album. The album continues the band's guitar-heavy rockabilly style flavored with punk rock, surf rock and country elements. The back cover album art displays the subtitle "Poker in the Rear".

The song "In Your Wildest Dreams" (along with "The Reverend" himself) was featured in the TV shows Homicide: Life on the Street and Midnight, Texas. "I Can't Surf" appeared in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3. "Baddest of the Bad" was in Tony Hawk's Proving Ground and Dexter: New Blood. The film Free Willy 3: The Rescue featured "Big Sky".
