This place has a great selection of all kinds of drinks. They are always friendly here and willing to take the time to talk to you about different drinks. I particularly like their selection of Scotch and Japanese whiskey. I would recommend this place.

The only place nearest to me that is open on Sundays. Customer service is OK. For more convenient parking arrive in the southernmost part of the building there is a parking garage after driving up-and-down ramps.

Great selection of spirits. Best selection of bitters in the territory. Knowledgeable staff. Hopefully theyll update their mask policy soon to match CDC guidelines and not require vaccinated people to wear them.

Fantastic selection of alcohol at many different price points, super friendly staff, and a nice range of options to compliment your drinking experience (food/ fruit, drink-making accessories, mixers, etc.). They also seem to have a lot of great local products.

This is always an easy pick. They have the booze I want when I need it, they have helpful and knowledgeable staff, and they dont close at absurd early hours. And they secretly have a fun craft beer section. Recommended.

Nice selection of liquor. My only problem is finding help when I need it. I would appreciate it if the sales clerks were more available to answer questions (although I have had some decent advice in the past, thus the 4 star rating). Good location. Either way, this is one of the only liquor stores I will go to in Portland. The space is clean and well organized as well.

While helping protect a houseless community at Laurelhurst Park for several weeks I frequented Hollywood Beverage regularly for Martini supplies #bougiebum staff is very helpful and courteous even after week number two without a shower. Everything got could want, great olive selection

Review №39

I what the most about this place is the staff. They are always very helpful. I have told them what drink I want to make and they go around suggesting the best options. They do not try to sell you the most expensive stuff, they just suggest the best option for mixing or what makes more sense if you drink it straight. On top of that they always have a very good selection.

The biggest liquor store Ive ever been in. When ever other liquor store in town was closed do to excessive heat reaching temps of 115 degrees these guys pulled through and stayed open. Thank you Hollywood Beverage. You made the sweltering night more bearable

I never write reviews about places ever but my experience at this store today has driven me to do so. Selection was wonderful I found what I was looking for but when it came time to do the transaction I was standing in line patiently behind a white woman when it was my turn the man behind the counter ask me to see my ID when I handed him my debit card then proceeded to meticulously look at my identification then looked at my ID and my debit card and said I cant do this transaction because the name on the card doesnt match your ID it store policy. The name on the card is my wifes name the name on my ID is my name we have the same last name and Ive been using that card for years and have never had a problem no I understand store policy and thats all well and good but when you didnt ask the lady who was ahead of me for ID to either check age or her debit card and then proceeded to ask me a black man for my ID makes me very upset I walked in that store planning on spending less than $20 then I had to go and use the ATM that charges me $3 to my transaction ended up costing me $21.50. not to mention when you run a debit card as debit which is what I was going to do you need to know the pin on that card you dont need to ask for ID the only time you ask for ID when youre trying to do a transaction is when you want to run it as credit. Im sorry that I had to write a poor review and blame the store for this one employees terrible service.

HUGE selection of liquor. Good prices and sales. But wish they would dedicate additional space to expanding their beer selection. Variety was better than the average PDX store but still left a fair amount to be desired.

Is there àny doubt that Hollywood Beverage is the best liquor store in Portland? Super knowledgeable staff, good layout, plenty of stock. When I need a bottle of something I know about, any liquor store will do, but if I need help deciding on a gift or if I need something special for a new cocktail, Ill head over to Hollywood.

Review №65

This is a really good liquor store. It used to be a furniture store so they turned the warehouse part into covered parking. This makes shopping discrete and a lot safer than parking on the street.

I was how impressed with the fairly easy in & out of it, but truly happy that it was open later than most other PDX stores within my location range. So I was Happy.

Review №76

Im not that much into booze, which is why this place doesnt get 5 stars, because its intimidating with how much booze is at this place. Were I a drinker, itd get 5 stars, unless I was really into beer, their beer selection isnt remarkable (come to think of it, I cant remember if they even had beer).Nonetheless, if you need sake in a pinch, itll do nicely.

Review №84

Many years ago I was purchasing a beverage. The price was 25 dollars I gave the cashier 30 dollars he said I only gave him 25 and refused to give me my 5 dollars. I told him to count the register he refused I told him to pull up the camera footage he said he couldn’t. I wanted my 30 dollars back and he refused. So I basically lost money. Looking back on it I should have filed a formal complaint or even called the police to make him count the register. I couldn’t help but think that because I was a young 21 year old black woman that he just assumed I was lying and trying to steal money.

Hello all!I went into Hollywood Beverage on a Friday evening with my boyfriend to grab just a little something for the weekend. It is within walking distance so we have visited this location on multiple occasions. All of our experiences up until today have been pleasant, so I was surprised to have been refused service this particular afternoon. It was a little busy and after waiting in line we handed over our IDs and waited again for the kind employee to check them. After checking the book reference he explained that a corner of my license was peeling and that he was told to decline the sale for suspicion it was a fake. I turned 21 in December have have had no issues/ could not find any faults with my ID upon closer inspection. Understanding the pressure of sales we left with no argument. Overall we were disappointed in the willingness of store employees to take a moment and assess the situation for previously loyal customers.

Clerk was helpful and friendly. They have a good collection of vodkas including local and more well known. They have the Portland potato as well as the Luksaska Polish potato that I like

Review №94

This has got to be the weirdest place to have encountered pretentious attitudes. I mean, come on, its a liquor store. Everyone calm down.Apparently asking for a receipt is grounds for an eye roll and a sigh. Also, if you need to ask for my ID thats fine. Im happy I look under 40. But maybe dont demand it rudely then take it to 3 different people to examine? Its a standard Oregon drivers license and while I may not look 40 I do look over 21. Because I am. Sheesh.
