The store is a little small, but they have a good selection of liquor (not beer/wine), and it’s all well organized. Standard Oregon prices. This is not a self serve place (due to too many thefts in the past), the staff help you. There is parking, and it's within walking distance of lots of hotels, restaurants, the moda center, etc. The staff are very friendly and do not try to upsale you but instead really try to help you find what you need for the best price. During the holidays, they have a super quick system that gets you in and out fast despite the holiday rush. Great place to go!

  • Curtis Partridge

As always, employees make or break an establishment, regardless of the product or service they provide. Lloyd Center Liquor Store employees are the bomb, they're knowledgeable, friendly and get to know their clientele on a first name basis. Over the years, I've watched each employee help people make knowledgeable decisions when they were buying a special gift for a friend, spouse or social event, which the client wanted to impress the recipient.

  • Darshan Rivka Whittle

I seem to have need for a liquor store about once every seven years. I went here once seven years ago, and it went fine. I went again today, and the woman who helped me was very nice and helped me pick out just what I needed. She didn't try to upsell me; she directed me to what I'm pretty sure was the cheapest bottle of bourbon in the store, which she assured me works great for eggnog, which is what I'm making.

  • Kurt Hendrickson

I used to be a bartender, JAKE and I got on the topic of bad counterfeit money. Long story short I knocked my purchase off the counter after paying. Jake was very kind and rushed around the counter to clean it up. Not only did they treat me with respect but they gave me a new bottle. Which I didn't expect. In a state run store with a captive audience these folks still go out of their way to excell

  • Pierre Osborne

Excellent Staff, friendly, fast and quite knowledgeable. Reasonable pricing have in store pickup but have delivery available to bars and restaurants only. Sell mixed drinks accessories and mixers as well as a large variety of sodas, waters, as well snack foods like mixed nuts and chips. Lottery tickets are sold here as well also cigarettes along with other nicotine based products.

Gotta love those guys always have on hand what you came for or if your not Sure great suggestions always great. They are all friendly gotta say good looking and they know what they their liquor.

  • Jonathan Loppnow

Its got an amzing selection of liquor! The people that work there are very knowledgeable when it comes to drinking. It's a real liquor store. I would recommend this place to anybody that is looking for a good drink and people that really k ow what they are talking about. All in all... A great store!

  • Alex Primo

Asked for selection advice..dude, owner or whatever offered the most expansive bottles not knowing what they were. I took his word and ended up throwing up and worst bottle ever for the higher end pricing. I expect my merchant to be honest and build a relationship, not try to get rid of product.

  • Karla Richardson

I was harassed (street parking) by a gentleman as I Walked pass the liquor to go pick up my Brother Johann's ashes at Crown's Funeral Home and Cremation Facility adjacent to liquor store! In my 20's I've gone there but this time I'm in area for other reasons! I give 5 stars to Crown's!

  • Sarah Letty

First time going to a oregon state run store great selection for such a small space, great service too. I'd recommend a bigger place if you want to browse for more exotic stuff, but they've definitely got the basics plus a good selection of local craft products

  • Tinky Weed

Smaller liquor store. Not a huge selection like the giant ones (because its a smaller location), however, it always has the staples. Great service as well. No need to drive out of your way to go here, but it's my go to spot since it's in my neighborhood.

  • Landon Maits

Good selection of whiskey, rum, vodka. One of the few good liquor stores in Portland. Some parking on the side of the road. Close to the interstate. The woman inside was helpful and polite. Got myself a Mickey (pint) of Pendleton's, yes I'm Canadian.

  • Irene Thamke

This is my neighborhood liquor store and I absolutely love it. The staff here are so nice and helpful - if I need a tequila, they tell me which is the best. I feel so comfortable here and always choose to come here over any other store in the city.

  • Megan Hall

Staff was really friendly! We were those young people who don't know anything about alcohol or what we actually want, but the person who helped us was totally okay with that. Has not happened at any other liquor store I've been to. Also the

  • Joshua Lenker

This is a great neighborhood liquor store. I stop by here every couple of months and am always impressed by the warm and welcoming environment. The prices are better than a lot of places in town and there is plenty of parking near by.

  • Jonnie Elder

I have only been here twice. The 2 times that i have bee here the employees were not friendly with anyone.... You must be people friendly when working with the public. If you don't like your job find a new one or stay at home.

  • Tak O.

I was surprised at how nice and courteous the staff were. Came in for one thing only, but I appreciated the staff not pressuring me asking me to buy other things. And their prices are very reasonable

  • Robin Davidson

I was looking to stick the bar a little for a COVID Thanksgiving. They have a nice selection, and a very helpful staff. I got some great recommendations and left with more than I intended.

Came in on a Friday afternoon and was helped by a helpful associate. They were sampling local distills. Was in and out within a few minutes. Parked in the Qdoba parking lot next door

  • Sarah Zahnd

Good selection but a messy store and the prices were higher than Canada. We didn't buy anything since we would be adding 20% exchange on something we could buy cheaper at home.

  • Kayla McLain

Although I'm not a fan of liquor stores where you have to order from the counter (they seem to take longer) this store had me in and out within 2 minutes. I was impressed!

  • Ezra Matterson (AbrexxisNexxis)

Quick, lively, and reasonably priced liquor and mixers. Pretty basic soda selection, but that honestly doesn't even merit a star reduction.
