Been coming here for 4 years straight and on 06 13 21 was told that maybe I should buy my brand from a convenience store after I asked why the price was ten dollars less elsewhere...decent selection of booze admittedly. Will be going to another store from now on.

They have a Drive thru!! Convenient when your not feeling up to going inside.. THE GUYS ARE NOT ONLY GOOD LOOKING BUT VERY PLEASANT!!I just wish they had alittle more variety.. They seem a little limited. Fair prices. 🙄 unfortunately they never have lemons or limes.. Really inconvenient especially if you buy tequila because theres no store even close by to purchase one.. So it keeps me from buying one of my favorites patron.. overall tho they are very awesome and friendly, polite employees.. And DONT FORGET TO TIP THEM (Tight wads!🤑)

The main complaint I have is that apparently they close whenever they feel like it. Its Saturday night, and I walked over there in the rain. I got there at 10:20, and they were closed and gone. They close at 11. Im probably going to need to find a new store.

Like this liquor store because it is close to home but my goodness some of the staff (2 men specifically) have terrible attitudes. Its not hard to smile, be kind and find a way to enjoy your job. We have been coming here for a few years and the rude welcome has never changed with some.

Ok, here I go. Ive been pushing this one for a minute, not sure if I should write an honest review. To me, this store is the Tale of two cities. Good things first. Great selection on everything spirit related. Low, middle and top shelf and interesting new items constantly and the occasional oddities you just have to try, Decent prices whether an item is in sale or not. The people in the coolers or in the back are super friendly and helpful. And here we go...I started going there regularly when I knew somebody who worked there was on shift, because the check out which has had many ups and downs over the years, is currently staffed by the owner, manager, supervisor or the brother of the Mayor, who knows. I usually just want to turn around and leave when hes there because I already have to brace myself for the check out. Ive stopped going there more frequently due to that matter and just by 6-10 different bottles of wine, some different beers and maybe a couple of bottles of hard liquor for a good 3-4 month supply. Every time Im there, some item is not in their system. I am asked and answer where exactly I got it from and then there is a good 5 minutes of frantic typing, scanning, typing, scanning. There was a special on that brand of wine buy 2 get it for $1 cheaper a bottle. When I asked about it, he barks at me and tells me the brand doesnt count, it has to be the same type as well. Ok. My bad. Potato Potatoe. I just asked. Then he turns around and barks at the guy tending to a drive through customer in an unnecessarily loud and nasty tone that my wine bottle wasnt in the system, mine literally never are, and he repeated himself 3 more times while we are still waiting to check out. He counts the bottles and his tape over and over, finally seems satisfied that we didnt smuggle anything on the cart. Now he asks my 63y/o husband for I.D. Ok. Rules, protocol, whatever. My husband had my CC and pays with it and not one time did he bother to check the name, which is different from mine. Long story short, they have a decent selection for decent prices. Dont expect any customer service, but most likely snide remarks or a few barks from Him while checking out. Cheers!

Review №19

Well at least Im not alone with the jerky old guy. Asked him if he had something the website shows he has, and he decided it was a great time to raise his voice to tell me they dont have control over their own website and the products are put on by the companies to get them to sale their items. Okay then.

I like the drive thru. There was one really sweet and helpful guy, but the old man is rude. Hes the main complaint on this page. Maybe hes the owner? Someone needs to take heed.

Worst customer service I’ve ever had ! I usually go to discount liquor on powers but they were closed today. My first experience was horrific the person helping me at the drive thru ( older man) was very put out to help me .alcohol is no cheaper there than anywhere else either ! Don’t go here

Review №25

I am not quite sure how this place does it, but they offer so many of their products at a reduced price, much cheaper than other liquor stores offer around town. We love shopping here because we always seem to find something that is unique, and for a cheaper price! It is certainly worth the trip.

Review №37

They have an awesome selection of Liquor, Beer and wine. Its really well organized. I really enjoy their specials. Whats even better is that there is never a line. Even during peak times he has several people behind the counter so it only takes a minute to go in and get what you want and get out. I dont smoke but he also has a pretty decent selection of tobacco products. It sits right in between north bound and south bound Academy so its so easy to get in and out of.

Excellent selection of beer, liquor and wine. Option to make your own 6-pack o beer from a selection curated by one of the guys there that really knows his stuff. Good selection of tobacco products as well. Easy to access regardless of which direction youre coming from. Really, I couldnt ask for a better liquor store.

I made an out of my way trip to go to this liquor store this morning because I generally like their prices and selection. I also get frequent text messages from them letting me know about their specials. Unfortunately after my experience this morning I will not be going back. The man behind the counter must of been having a bad day because he was just plain rude. I was just trying to ask about a specific champagne and he was clearly irritated by the interaction, bummer! I can drive just a little further and go to Cheers for an even larger selection and more consistent service. Sorry Liquor City, wont be back!

Ch
Review №61

The Prices and selection are Nice. But the Customer service from the Old Man that works there is Horrible! He sees and knows you and he will make you go get your ID blaming it on the owner. I use to drive the extra miles for the lower price but I decided to pay the extra penny for better customer service. It’s too many liquor stores in the area that value the costumer. This place is RUDE!

Review №62

I rate a one, cause the older guy that works here can be super unpleasant and rude. I like to have a drink at the end of some days to help relax me, I just recently moved here and this is seriously 1min from my house. I rather make the drive to the other liquor stores cause their front desk people are polite and dont make me feel like I got spit on. I wont be back

Review №63

Please dont be fooled. This isnt an actual city.My girlfriend and I went thinking it was going to be something like downtown denver, but filled with alcohol. Instead its just a fairly large shop. Really good selection though!

Review №65

Good selection and prices are good. The place could be updated and better lit though. Kind of felt like an adult bookstore. 4 stars because I like adult bookstores I just thought more light is needed in both situatiins.

Review №66

10 dollar minimum on cards purchases is illegal the processing company don’t charge any extra than what you pay annually so when they say this too you just know it’s them trying too scam up more money

Bought a six pack asked for a bag the guy glared at me and said we don’t give bags for that. Seeing as I was on a bike it would’ve been a lot easier to make it back to the flatland competition with a bag.

One of the best liquor stores in town. They have a HUGE selection of libations to choose from. Not only do they have a large store, they also offer a drive thru window, and to top it off, they off delivery in the nearby area. They offer a military discount as well. You must check them out.

The gentleman up front kinda hates his job I think. I feel bad for him because I’ve been in his shoes....he asked me if I wanted a bag and and it took me maybe 2 seconds to decide and while I was trying to say Yes I would like a bad he said “alright have a good one...” then walked away 😂😂😂 kinda hilarious

Everyone there is great except the grumpy old putz who told me to shove an elderly man out of my way to get to his register by the door. Ive never been barked at by any employee there and his attitude made me walk out the door. Fairly certain he was training a new associate for the register at the time. Horrible. He claimed he was having a great day, my guess is he was drunk or sobering up and losing his cool. I wont be back, Ill give the asians down the street my money. Shame, because I loved everyone else there.
