Reviews

  • Daisy Baker

No price tags on items, he charges customers according to whether they’re tourists or locals. Everything is expensive. He is not scanning items but rather manually putting the prices on the cash register so he can manipulate the prices. I don’t recommend this liquor shop, save your hard earned dollars and please go somewhere else.

  • James McKinney

Total rip-off. Prices tags are not on every item, and the cashier inputs the prices manually when you get to the counter. $30 for a 375ml of Hornitos, $6 for a 1L Essentia, $2.50 for a $1 bag of Doritos, $6 for a Tallboy Corona, $4.50 for a L of Club Soda. Stay far, far away.

  • Byung Kook

Do not shop from this store. They will rip you off. They charged me $19 for 12 pack Miller lite, where Walgreen two blocks away charges $10.49. Every item doesn’t have price marked on and they will charge you whatever they want if they think you are a traveler.

  • Daniel Fay

Outrageously overpriced, with prices not marked on items and you have to ask/find out when you get to the counter. They tried to charge me $20 for a 4 pack of ciders, and on top of that most of the drinks in the fridge were missing a bottle

  • Sandy Tran

Stayed at King George Hotel which is basically right next door. This place is conveniently located, BUT everything was overpriced and some snacks were expired. Bottle of water is way expensive, a regular sized bag of chips was $5 dollars,

  • Evita Smith

If you feel like getting taken advantage off go here. The worker was rude and unhelpful. We got 2 packs of cookies and a little bag of skittles and paid $31. Nothing was priced, if we would’ve known, we would have gone a block further.

  • Matt Turco

If you're a visitor to this city, please read these reviews. Do not go here, you will get ripped off (but only if you pay). Go one block over to Walgreens where the prices are fair. If you're local and you shop here, shame on you for

  • John Cosgrove

Way overpriced...poor selection. Most items do not have a price. Those that are priced are price gouged. Case of water $20.00. All 6 pack of beers are $13.99. Wines that are usually 12-15 dollars are over $30..restaurant pricing.

  • Saman Sadeghi

The store has a large selections of liquor and a fair amount of snacks and food items, but everything is the store is twice as expensive as it should be. I understand there is a "city premium" but this is just price gouging.

  • Jim Watt

I get that liquor stores are expensive at times but this place is really high. Do yourself a favor and go to Walgreens where they won't price gouge for alcohol (can't even imagine the cost of food here)

  • Jonah Rappaport

Beers were totally overpriced. No price labels on any of the selection. A 6-pack of Modelo was $15 and a 12-pack was $27 before tax. Ended up opting for a 12-pack of Budweiser for $19 tax in..

  • Tara O'Malley

Do yourself a favor and walk one block down to the liquor mini mart on Ellis between mason and Taylor. Literally a block away with a much better selection for way way better prices.

  • Steve Early

I'm with Saman - I dropped in to get some snacks for my hotel room - total ripoff. But it's sort of like airline food. Where else can you go to get something to eat at 35,000 feet?

  • Torben Makowka (bld)

We were bummed at the checkout on the final price of the goods. Most are not labeled and are later very pricey in fact. It seems they try to rip off the tourists here.

  • Chris Whitney

Way over priced! The clerk will distract you with conversation and "compliments" but like everyone says, they are WAY overpriced and make prices on the spot. Terrible

  • Luis Rodriguez

Cool little liquor store, 2 stars since they didn't want sell me alcohol because it was "too late" last call is at 2:00am and I attempted to purchase it at 1:50am.

  • Lucas Feng

overpriced u don’t even know the price until you pay, one bottle of water took $6, totally not worth it, got to CVS! At least cvs have price list.

  • Michael Jerome

I wish I could leave a negative star rating, $40 for a bottle of wine that would be $8 anywhere else is robbery. Way to take advantage of people

  • Matt Harb

Spent $60 on two $10 bottles of wine. If I wasn’t late to the dinner party I needed them for I would’ve walked out. Price gouging at its finest.

  • Marque Johnson

Do not buy from here. Prices are 2x higher from any other corner store. Total rip off. Save your money and find another corner store.
