Great selection of wines, probably the best in OC. Staff are very knowledgeable and attentive.

A must-see shop inside a winery. Youre aware that I come here on a regular basis. Im so grateful and comfortable because the place was so relaxing and cozy. The wine they were serving was cold and smelled delicious. The room was thoroughly cleaned. I really enjoy their cuisine. The teams were very friendly and welcoming. Im going to come back here for another drink.

I don’t know where to start. I spent 2 hours here after work and I didn’t even get to the wine. When you go to big brand name liquor stores, your selection is essentially identical. This place has all the standard brands but has a phenomenal selection of liquors I’ve never heard or seen before. Best part- the prices. A 1.5 L of wood Ford reserve is cheaper here than (co, cost)

A true gem with a large selection of international wines as well as domestic plus spirits of all kind an a reasonable cigar section to complete your fun.

It would be an necessary waste of time to detail all the things that make this place so incredible. They have some of the most knowledgeable staff in the industry, and can discuss, for example, the fine points of what type of Belgian ale you might enjoy most, or what specialty bitters would be the perfect addition to your Old Fashioned, or the differences and value points in comparing a $25 cabernet with a $150 bottle, not to mention the strengths and weaknesses of particular vintage years for different regions. You just cant go wrong here, and the prices are completely reasonable. Youre not paying more for all that special expertise. This is a purveyor of wine, spirits, beer, and other products for your home bar, your special guest, or your garage refrigerator ... a place where you can shop with confidence that you wont go wrong.

I have been going to this place for years and have never been disappointed in their selection, prices, and the helpfulness of their staff. I really like the clearance section of the spirits. I always end up with one or two bottles of something to try. Just recently I noticed they do gift wrapping. This was awesome being Fathers Day. For $2.50 they wrapped it and put a really nice bow. It worked out great. If you are looking for that hard to find liquor or wine, this would be the place I start my search.

Here, I had a nice time. If you enjoy rum, scotch, bourbon, and other alcoholic beverages, this is a great place to hang out. Many of the wines on offer are imported and reasonably priced. Youve come to the right spot! Very pleasant ambiance for merely dining, drinking, and conversing with friends. Strongly advised!

I was amazed at the selection of alcohol, especially the underground wine cellar and beer cooler! The humidor has a wide variety of cigars and the meat/cheese selection looked delicious!!!! My favorite part was finding drink recipes on some of the bottles!

Its a wonderful place with knowledgeable people. If you are enophile its like being a kid in a candy store

Great wine shop. Not fancy but fantastic wine . I’m drinking a 2011 chateaupneuf du pape. That I purchased in 2014.Thank you Hi-Times

Amazing ! Theyre on top of their customer Service ! Been in business, 60 yrs. ?They have everything ! Much more than you could imagine ? Wine tasting, every brand of wine, Champagne, Beer, hard liquor & Special high end everything ! Happy employees ! Help u to your car with dollies ! Gifts, gourmet candy & gifts & party accessories, ice !

Awesome selection with fast, affordable delivery in California. I did not have to go from store to store looking for rare finds like Herbsaint. I just had to place an order! Shipping to San Jose area was $12.95 or so and it was fast. They packaged each bottle very carefully. The smaller bottle was even double protected within the Styrofoam. Im so happy. Its like Christmas. I learned over the years that replacing key ingredients is a mistake: if a recipe calls for Herbsaint, use it: it costs more but has a unique liquorish flavor.

This place is fantastic! Came from Las Vegas to visit family and cant recommend it enough. Awesome to see this bottle that I cant get back home.

Huge inventory of vintage & contemporary wine, liquor and beer. Smoke shop, gourmet candy, nick-nax. Very cool wine cellar and bar for socializing and or wine tastings. User friendly staff... : )

So far, here in my place, nothing comes close to this wine shop for food, atmosphere, and services. This is a great place to have a romantic date with someone you love. Love the view from above. Great food and ambiance. Not cheap though, but worth the money. I highly recommend this wine shop to everyone I know.

We had a wonderful time meeting with my friends and learning about wines. We found the perfect ones for us. We highly recommended visiting this particular place if you want to find the perfect wines to take home and remind you of your trip to the place you want to go to. I really love this shop. So do you!

Selection selection selection. Knowledgeable staff too. They can help you find that perfect bottle.

What can I say this place is freaking awesome...I forgot the guys name one was packing items short guy.. he was telling me about the story of hi Times I guess his parents opened back in 50s..Its been a hidden gem hidden away in residential area. I got too give props to the Hispanic male with a moustache. thanks for the recommendations on tequila...

Best liquor store and wine shop in Southern California. They have everything you could want--and then some! Their wine selection is amazing and the staff is super helpful.

Couldnt find one of my favorite seasonal beers until I contacted Hi-Time Wine Cellars; and then they ordered an additional case for me! Staff is professional and will even take your bulk purchase to your vehicle! Definitely my new favorite adult beverage store :)

Have been shopping here for fine wines and spirits for decades because the inventory is world-class stellar, but mainly because of the well-educated staff; they have superior knowledge regarding all aspects of cellar connoisseurship and always offer the best suggestions for special occasions.

Great service and selection. The walk-in beer cooler has one of the best selections of California beers I’ve ever seen. Also a great store to find those bottles of stuff you’ve been looking for years and could never find.

Best cigar. And wine shop in OC

Hedonist heaven. Wine, beer, spirits, cigars, and chocolates (and more!)Great selection and great prices.

Love Hi-Times! Amazing beer, wine & Liquor selections. If youve looked everywhere for a specific kind of wine, beer or booze, try Hi-Times & if they dont have it, then most likely no one does.Great service & help from the staff. Especially in the wine section, theres even a phone to call/page someone down to the wine cellar and help you find what youre looking for.Great spot for Bday gifts & Holiday gifts!They also have kegs &, I believe, other services Im unfamiliar with.

Found what I needed with no help whatsoever. I get here rarely as it is a bit too far from Fullerton but their selection of stuff is unmatched. If youre looking for that obscure item for that special occasion, start here first.

Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Wide variety of adult fun.

Giving a 3 because I’m mixed on my review. On one hand they do have good selections and at good prices, but the employees there are kind of rude, abrupt, and subtly arrogant. I’m not really sure what they’re arrogant about, but Old Man Bourbon, for example, is just kind of obnoxious and definitely doesn’t social distance. Further, the employees there don’t really acknowledge anyone’s presence - but hey, they have a pretty good selection so I guess that trumps the service.

Wow! They should just rename this place to Home of the Finer Things in Life. Family owned. Beautiful store. Straight up great customer service. Love it.

Great selection of Gins Rums Wines, you name the spirit they probably have it...One of the best selections in Southern California.

This was one of the best experiences of my life.. First, I walked up and noticed that there are Fresh Kumquats growing on a tree as well as lemons and papayas.The staff there are so nice and made me feel very welcome..I am Andre An African-American male From Toledo Ohio

The most knowledgeable staff regardless of what kind of alcohol you are looking for, always ready to give recommendations and explain almost anything you would like to know.

This place is magical, at least to me it is. haha I feel like I am on one of those treasure hunt after I step foot inside.From the outside the place didnt look that big, but once you go inside, I was amazed. Their cellars has amazing collections, and not just for wines. They have a really good whiskey collections, as well other liquors. They also sell tobacco products. It feels like the hallways and aisles never ends! And the wine information display for different regions and style is clear and informative. I learned something new during my first visit! This has become my favorite go-to place to shop for liquor now.

Probably the best liquor store in Southern California if not the whole state. Excellent humidor.

Wow, what a selection of everything! Today was my first time and I lost my mind. Cigars,Cheese Chocolate to name a few but Liquor galore. Great customer service and knowledgeable staff. Ill definitely be back.

Unrivaled selection. Great prices and knowledgeable staff.

Cant say enough about hi times...great wines, chocolates chez n loads more. And btw, the grapes growing in the parking lot are turning and there r good ones to be had on way in/out! Cheers

Were from northern California wine country, yet Hi-Time carries champagne and wines we cant find locally. Five Corks!

Is incredible the variety of bottles they have. You named, they have it.

Excellent place to go for wine and alcohol purchases. Very friendly and knowledgeable people to assist with selecting the perfect item. Amazing selection of everything.

Incredible selection THE place to buy your alcohol in OC the amount if options you have is crazy. I felt like a kid in a candy store

Hi Times is a Icon in the adult beverages aka liquor stores in the whole United States. Their selection of all types of booze is staggering and the staffs knowledge on wine, spirits and even cigars you will feel your talking to an expert that will guide you to that perfect bottle for yourself or buying for a friend. When I walkin they treat me and my wife like a valued customer. They get to know us and what we like its always a pleasure to go in. Especially their wine cellar if you haven’t been you have to experience that underground world of wine it a maze of bottles from every wine region you can think of. As you can read its a must stop for anyone that loves to drink or buy a friend that special gift. Cheers to you for reading my review and going in for the Hi Times experience.

Best tequila selection around, helpful staff and great prices

This is our all around favorite place to buy liquor. The selection is huge and staff is the most knowledgeable around. The love what they do and will take the time to hear your thoughts and guide you in the right direction. And if you come in blindly without a clue, theyll patiently educate you. They are super friendly and not snobs about it at all. Whenever we have a party or special get together, well buy our bottles at Hi-Time!

Huge selection with something for everyone. Very helpful staff.

Cancel your other trips, save money, and enjoy a two-hour tasting from the owner of this wine shop with tales. The taste was made so unforgettable by his humor and enthusiasm. He is a real guy who wants to make sure that his visitors are comfortable and without any pressure to buy and just nice to meet people like him. For us, this would be a boring attraction!

Because of his amazing wine choices, I will give this wine shop a five-star. The employees here are respectful and knowledgeable about their jobs. They really have a large range of wines, and Im glad because there was everything I wanted. I could not ask for more from these guys about the service, because it was definitely great. A highly recommended spot!

I dont know much about wine. But the customer service here is excellent. Walked in here and everyone was so nice and not snooby. My friend asked if there was a comparable bottle of wine (aka cheaper bottle with the same taste) and they were glad to help out.

Such a exhaustive variety of spirits. Theres very little they dont have. Very knowledgeable staff as well. What a gem in Costa Mesa!! Go here for all your spirit needs.

Great boutique wine cellar. Must see in person to fully appreciate 👍😎

Ordered some whiskey online that almost nobody else has in stock...Excellent price, FAST shipping (2 day), great customer service!Be well & God bless yall.

As a well traveled New Yorker, Hi-Time is the most spectacular liquor-WINE establishment Ive ever seen- or heard of.Its a place that needs to be seen to be believed.Look online- There are $12.00 (twelve dollar) shipping options.Thank you Patty and Fernandez.

The staff arre incredibly knowledgeable, especially about California wines, Northern Italian wines, and scotch.

DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS SELLER! I mad a simple order from them and they hired an incompetent shipping company (GLS shipping company) to ship the package to me thru their logistics system. After waiting 2 different days for the package to be delivered and them saying they made several attempts, I can only guess that they had the wrong address. Either put on by Hi-Time wine cellars or GLS. Either way my trust has been broken with both. Many other shipping companies can find my address and deliver a package to me, but it seems beyond both of these companys to make that happen. Do not waste your time of money with this seller if you want to actually get your product!

Good selections, good prices. Nice spot.

This is one of the towns finest wine stores. If you dont have time to fly to the wine region, stop by the wine shop and try some of their wines. Come to visit! Highly recommended!

Great place would recommend fantastic selection on wines & beers

This place is the mecca of booze. If they dont have it, they will get it. Chances are, they have it. We are able to get our favorite beer and run from Nicaragua. Always stoked to go in there. And, the points are awesome. You need to get here if you havent already.

I love my cashier. Great customer service from the lady up front. They have a great selection of alcohol that you normally won’t find at the liquor store or grocery stores. There are some unique beer brands I’ve never seen before. I’m not much of a drinker and stopped by to grab some for a dinner party with a special request and found what the hosts wanted. The price isn’t as great as Total Wine, but they have things there that Total Wine doesn’t.

Great local wine, liquor, and cigar store. They have a more interesting selection than warehouse stores. They have been a fixture in OC for decades. On top of all that - they have great prices and good specials.

They claim to have a huge variety of wines, including both high-end and low-cost varieties. The procedure astounded all of us. It has been a fantastic wine tour!

This place never lets me down. If you are craving something special, definitely go here. Last time I was there they had Heady Topper, a world class craft beer from Vermont!

Great selection of everything! Even the hard to find bottles!

One of the best places in Orange County for wine, beer and alcohol. Great prices too. Theyve been around forever.

The wine and the beers that I ordered with this shop were excellent and taste good. The staff was accommodating and decent. The place was also clean, polished, and stylish. It was truly nice to be here, for it was all worth it and satisfying. You were the best wine shop, I know. Highly recommended!

They have great selection and reasonable prices.

Good place to find any type of Alcohol in OC area. Must go if you are buying anything alcohol for any event or party

Its a perfect place to get a takeaway or have a bottle of wine. It was so peaceful and cozy in that spot. The antique wine rack was so fancy and cute. Staves were so nice and open to them. People were enjoying their drinks and food. What an excellent place to unwind.

If youre looking for knowledgeable people who know about liquor 🥃, beer 🍺, wine 🍾 and cigars....you need to visit Hi-Times Cellar. Very friendly staff, great choices and Wine Tasting 🍷. Highly Recommend this store. #LocalGuides

Incredible wine and spirits selection. Big walk-in humidor with a nice selection of cigars. They carry much more than wine and spirits, and just walking around the store is ALWAYS an enjoyable experience. around the store.BevMo and Total Wine are much, much closer to home, but Id rather drive to Hi-Time.

My family has been shopping here for years. Great place and great service! The shrine for fun consumables.

This place is great! Unmatched selection of every booze and wine you can think of!

The best store in the area for all kinds of good stuff for indulgence. Must go to see it all.

Selection is good. Online browser is clunky. My absolute biggest complaint is they use GLS for shipping. GLS is absolutely terrible cant even get close on the correct date of delivery let alone the time. When a signature is required for delivery it makes it impossible to use this company! Shipping is absolutely out of the question unless all you want to do is wait for the delivery driver for days on end.

Cool place to chill and buy wine and whiskey! Its my first time buying from this wine shop and they have a great wine selection! I am also very pleased with their excellent customer service. The salesperson was eager to help you in picking up the best wine, and what amazed me was, that they do really know the characteristics of the wine. Highly recommended!

Best selection of selection of wine and spirits in Costa Mesa. Multi level wine cellar complete with sampling room.

They only sell these items: beer,wine liquor,choclate,coffee, jelly beans and tobacco . That said it is said that this may be the biggest wine cellar west of the Mississippi. The price are phenomenal. It is also been said that they have 3 storage areas totaling 150,000sqft that feen that one store. If they do not have it, trust me you did not need it.

Hands down best place for any alcohol! Firstly, they have a massive selection to choose from for both wine and spirits. Secondly everybody is friendly there and if you need advice, I dare you to ask.. you will be blown away with the knowledge of the staff there especially down in the wine cellar. No only have i found new favorite wines, scotch that is hard to find but also cigars for new year to compliment my drinks. Yes, they even have a cigar section with staff ready to answer any and all questions. This place deserves the ratings it gets!

The selection here is just insane. It’s basically a rabbit hole....

First, they have the most friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff. Then, the selection of spirits and wine is amazing almost overwhelming when trying to decide on what to get but thats where the helpful and knowledgeable staff come in. They really know a lot about what they sell. I enthusiastically recommend Hi-Time.

Hips... what a great place. I found, at last, real Rum. Ti-Punch time...

A place u can find rare wine and good selection with very reasonable price.

The Perfect Gem in Costa Mesa!!! Better than Bev Mo and Total Wine and More - Ann was so helpful and knowledgeable - she’s a sweetheart♥️. They have a specialty chocolate section, candy of many flavors section, Cheese of all kinds, cigars and cigarettes!!! Every brand of wines and spirits you can think of!!! I was in heaven!!!

I love their great price and great customer service. HurRAH, Hi-Time Wine Cellars!

Always one of our favorite places to shop. Specifically for Rum.

My favorite liquor store in this area. Whenever I go to the beach I will visit this store. Its a large place that has a large selection. Highly recommend this place.

Great beer selection and Spa girl vodka and skinny Night Out cocktail mixes Im happy man

Hi-Time Wine is like the adult version of being a kid in a candy store..... and if they dont have it, it probably doesnt exist. Prices are usually competitive and the staff is helpful and knowledgeable. Its worth the field trip to visit, even if your from out of town.

This store seemed to have everything but my Blantons. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Bought some good ciders and some rare wiskey and cigars. Definitely a place to visit if your looking for any type of liquor.

This is my go to liquor store. Ya, theyre 45+ miles away, but well worth the drive. Im a Rum junkie and they always have an incredible selection. From my favorite Kauai distilled and bottled Koloa Rums to Appleton, and everything in between, they have ya covered. Whiskey your thing, no sweat! Oh, so you like wine or vodka, no troubles there either. They have the best prices hands down and the largest selection. Thanks Hi Time, you make my liver happy 😊

Great selection of wines and spirits, a very knowledgeable staff, and low key tasting events in Thursdays and Saturdays make this my favorite place to shop for wine in CA.

My favorite liquor store ever. Great variety, great prices, great customer service.

They say that drinking wine, especially red wine will make your heart healthier. I couldnt agree more! I love spending my time drinking wine after a long day while seeing the beautiful view outside my place. I am glad that I found this Wine shop because they have the best different types of wine. Check them out!

Very cool spot to pick up any type of alcohol your looking for. Also a cute spot for cigars and accessories.

Best place for wine or liquor in the OC!

Great selection and knowledgeable staff

Fantastic store. Excellent selection. Bourbon heads paradise

I love this place. Friendly staff and the largest selection of any other store Ive been at.

Massive selection, super helpful staff. Overall a great store

Friendly ppl lots of good drinks and good boxs
