Amazing selection and really friendly owner. My go to spot for at home bar supplies and ingredients. Fair prices, clean store, 5 star for sure.

Great store. Typically friendly service. This time tho.. 2 cashiers. The 1 who helped me, not so good. He was in a Jazz jersey. He was more interested in the conversation the other cashier was having (basketball) He didnt say ONE word to me during our transaction. Not Hi not thank you NOTHING! Very poor customer service 😢

Awesome staff, great prices, amazing selection… a perfect concoction to lift your spirits

Fast friendly service with a nice selection. Its really nice to just get in and get out, plus they have been really good about social distancing. Great place?

This place literally has one of the best selections of mixtures around. Not to mention you can find whatever it is you need to drink whether its high-class whiskey or fireball. the guys working at the counter were pretty friendly and pointed us in the right direction for what we needed. As soon as you walked in the door they were ready to help us and find exactly what we needed for a good vacation in Portland.

Super nice staff. Theyre cool with us bringing in our Pug puppy and our well behaved older Chihuahua.Plus, thanks to the Gin I bought there, Im writing this review!

Great selection. One of the few liquor stores open on Sunday so convenient for weekends off

Extremely nice people . Clean store good prices and selection . Imo best in the city

Nice people who are ready to help you if you cant find something.

Great !!!They had a Belgium beer that was DELICIOUS!

Scott is an amazing person... He is probably the most knowledge person in regards to alcohol that I have ever met... He is capable of not only remembering the kinds of things you like to help you find new stuff to try... But he is capable of taking the slightest hint of what you are looking for and either finding it... Or finding something different that you will like as well... Oh... And the store is REALLY clean...

Called in for pricing on May 2nd, 2021 for Hennessy VS and VSOP. Lady told me that it was 59.95 for VSOP and 32.95 for VS. I drove 75 mph from Beaverton and at checkout, the same lady that was on the phone told me that it is $41.95 for VS, not $32.95. I cursed at her and left.

Great spot, I went to this location to pick up a birthday gift and decided I wanted to make mojitos as well. The person at the register was able to give me suggestions on both whisky and the best rum for mojitos. Will be back to this local spot!

A friendly and knowledgeable staff, a wide selection of the liquors you want, & my cigarette brand are the best price in town. Clean, organized, socially distanced, and they enforce the mask rule. Get your liquor here, you will be happy.

Best vermouth selection in SE. Friendly staff and well stocked shelves. What more could you ask for?

Great place with knowledgeable and helpful staff!

Booze. Yep, booze. And more good booze.

Always a great experience. The staff is super helpful and very funny. It’s my preferred liquor store and sometimes I go out of my way to go here instead. Highly recommend!

These folks have been wonderful. The customer service is always 5 star. I drive from Pleasant Valley to support them...There are liquor stores much closer!

Great store with a nice selection. Unfortunately, it sounds like Scott is no longer working there, so might not be worth going out of the way to visit this location anymore.

Felt like a party in there yesterday: fun music and a bunch of people. Good selection of alcohol I think, but Im no expert. They had what I needed. Checkout person was partying for sure. It was a Friday, but maybe the environment seemed a little tone deaf to the current situation. On the other hand, the upbeat atmosphere was pretty refreshing. Not sure how I feel about the looseness.

The staff are always giving me great recommendations for alternatives to my regular choices. Plus, theyre always super friendly and kind-hearted. This place is a true neighborhood gem.

I had one hell of a great experience at Hawthorne Liquor recently and needed to share. I went in thinking I was going to pick up a bottle of a tried-and-true scotch I usually mindlessly grab, but a jolly gentleman named Scott saw my choice and instead of just ringing me out and sending me on my way, engaged me in a little game of If You Like That, Have You Tried This? and I ended up taking home two bottles of his recommendation for the same price as my one, and now I have a new favourite go-to scotch for when I dont want to spend $40+/bottle (like right now when money is tight but Im drinking much more than usual 😅). Thanks, Scott!(Its White Horse, in case youre wondering.)

Been going here for years when Im living in the hood. Good selection, cool staff. Love the remodel!

This place used to have all my favorite flavors of Pinnacle Vodka - I dont know why they stopped carrying them? I think the owner drinks it all himself. *UPDATE as of 12/16* They now have the myriad of Pinnacle Vodka flavors I enjoy - included some that have been since discontinued. If you want to get a wide assortment of flavored vodka, definitely come here!

I love that place, they always have what I need, theyre nice and theyre open late!

Truly contactless curbside! Staff were fabulous! We will do business here, even after Covid. Thank you for making things so easy! And I loved the note on our box. Connie

All the staff there are awesome! 😊I dont even live in that neighborhood anymore and I still go over there to pick up a bottle and say hi.

Friendly, helpful staff. Great hours.

Great spot to get your spirits. Opens early, closes late. Good selection. Friendly service!

Smaller store with limited selection. Its easy to get in and out quick, which is nice and its usually not very busy.

Scott is the guy who orders the whiskey. This is important because he has a refined palate and can recommend the stuff thats not fancy but tastes great. This store used to be only fair, my first visit in the 90s was disappointing. Now, yeah, wow. Everything is here that youd actually buy. Not the place for the grand a bottle / look but dont touch bottles, but absolutely the place for solid Bourbon and Scotch.

Great selection. Prices seemed good on liquor. Solid beer selection with great prices.

Super friendly staff with a great selection and recommendations.

Store looks super nice post renovation, but the real deal is the selection of liquor - in particular whiskey. Its absolutely enormous with anything you could possibly imagine. I was in particular struck by the nice, large selection of ryes. The owner, Ryan is my friend and he is really knowledgeable about most liquors in general and would be an excellent source if you had any questions. I forgot to ask him about pastis which is pretty rare around these parts, but his store would seem to carry many of the less commonly trafficked spirits.

A great team here makes for helpful support in finding the right liquors and mixers for your cocktail needs. Good selection and variety that is usually well stocked. If it’s not on the shelf, just ask as it may be in the back. This high volume shop located across from a top notch taco joint moves some serious product, so the shelves can get hot hot hard at times. They tend to restock on Mondays, so if you can’t find what you’re looking for then, it just in a box somewhere and the staff can find it for you.

Small place and a great selection

Super nice people working in a neighborhood store. Good selection and friendly faces.

Great variety. Very nice employees

My new go to liquor store in the Mt. Tabor area. Tucked into a tiny shopping plaza, it can be a little difficult to see from the street. There is a small parking lot with a few spots that are generally empty if you go during off hours. Ive had really friendly, helpful service here and gotten some great suggestions for alternatives to the standard fare. While not as big as other stores like Hollywood liquor, theyve got a really well charged and cochise selection with a good variety.

THIS IS THE BEST LIQUOR STORE. I love the owner. He is always there. Super friendly, knowledgeable, doesnt try to up sell you bs. Lots of local products

Good local liquor store. great selection

Friendly people.

The guy wrkn is fantastic @ his job. Good humoured.

Lovef this store, they have a great selection and good prices, what I went for was even on sale 👍

Always have what Im looking for. Friendly staff.

OMG! Great liquor store whether you want to buy or need entertainment. The cashier is a hoot...he knows his stuff and stock! Drop by...

Great service and fantastic selection.

Every retailer in the world will offer you a receipt, but not Hawthorne Liquor. Whats the big deal? I dont find the clerks there particularly friendly either. Maybe its my looks... If so, your mileage may vary of course.

The alcohol really does the heavy lifting here. If they just sold bloody mary and margarita mix I doubt I would ever shop here. As a product, alcohol is tops!

Staff is very helpful and knowledgeable.

Excellent staff and selection. Open 9-9 Monday thru Saturday.

Helpful and knowledgeable staff, who can make great recommendations on a huge variety of selections. By far one of the best places to explore when you graduate to adult beverages that are accented by a cardigan and a pipe.

Cant recommend this place enough! Scott (I think hes the manager idk) helped me with a case of champagne for a new years party and really knocked it outta the park! Great selection and knowledgeable staff.

Great selection for such a small space. The owner is super nice, more like a bartender you chat with than somebody trying to move product.

Good selection, good service, convenient parking

Usually the service is spot-on here, but I found myself in the store alone waiting at the counter for a few minutes while the clerk was outside chatting with someone. Sure, I get it, youre catching up with somebody for a second and I can respect that. But then no eye contact when he comes in, and the bottle I had chosen was on the wrong place on the shelf so it was a different price than I was expecting. Sure I get it, people move bottles around. But no acknowledgement of that fact, and the clerk is on his phone trying to choose music to play in the shop as I have to pull more cash out of my wallet. All the while he doesnt even look up. Again, usually I have such good experiences here, I was a little surprised and disappointed today.

Bunny mama always show me the good stuff and big box full of all ki ds and not too shabby in price pluse the price good and big guy always check for you and then if you need what you do need then they ok with it and bring big choices for the little guy like me and bunny mam also nice and share the story and we leave feeling good cuz the tunes round there are the besdt too and I wish I lived real close cuz I would share with bunny mam too.

Decent. Nice selection.

Best selection of craft whiskey, rum, gin and mezcals. Super nice staff and really knowledgeable. Every Wednesday they have a high end cocktail and spirit tasting from 4-7!

Very knowledgeable and helpful staff, and good prices! We were looking for a slightly obscure liqueur and they had four versions and multiple sizes of some versions. Good sake selection also, although they go broad with multiple companies rather than very deep with, say, the local SakeOne (some but not all types SO makes, for example). Will try them on our favorite obscure dessert wine next :-)

Scott and Kyle were great, extremely nice and knowledgeable. They have a great selection. I highly recommend this store.

Super knowledgeable and helpful staff! Best lquior store in town!

They have a few whiskey connoisseurs on staff that has recommended me quite a few tasty bottles. Friendly and approachable staff make it my go to bottle shop in the neighborhood.

Great product great customer service very friendly people always smiling love that

Owner regularly lies about whats in stock, because his bar-owning friends are more important than some random customer off the street. always sketchy people hanging around in the evenings. store is filthy and dusty. half the time you walk in and nobody seems to be around and you have to yell for someone to come help you from in back! no wonder people just go to the hollywood store

Cool store, looking forward to trying their ancho liquor!

Nice big liquor store with a good selection, clean.

Its not super conveniently located for most of us, but if you want the best on-shelf selection in town, you should make the trip. I dont know any store in town with this many bottles, esp. mezcal and whiskey!1

Ive shopped here for 14 years and had uniformly great experiences. Good recommendations from the friendly, chill staff. Theyre currently completing a remodel/expansion, so itll be even more good stuff in the future.

Best selection of vermouth imaginable, & a knowledgeable staff to teach you how to pick the perfect one for your needs. & they open at 9 AM!

Not a great selection everything is either higher priced liquor or budget liquor. Definitely could use more mid-range options.

Workers were honest about products and gave great drink recipes!

Great liquor store by Portland standards. Prices here tend to be a little better than other liquor stores on Hawthorne, and even if there is something out of stock on the shelves, if I ask for it, an employee is always happy to grab one for me from the back.Not sure why everyone is getting so upset about parking... Everywhere on Hawthorne is picky about parking, all you have to do is park on a neighborhood street (a total of 20 steps further away) if you plan on going other places as well.

Great SE liquor store. Theyre small, but the shelves are always full and the staff is super friendly and helpful.Pro tip: Park in the lot ONLY if youre a patron of these shops, dont shop here then cross the street, the parking attendant will slap you with a ticket. Theyre serious.

New location is bigger and better. Always good prices in comparison to other liquor stores. Staff is friendly and ready with recommendations.

Good booze selection!

Scott was the most helpful. No upselling just good recommendations. Also didn’t make me feel rushed even tho I came in 10 min before closing. Will definitely be back!

This has been my neighborhood liquor store for years. Friendly, helpful staff people abound. Plus, they are expanding, so there is even more to love...go there!

Helpful friendly staff and of course a great selection of liquors and concoctions

They can has booze! Good hours.

Super friendly staff, great hours.

Highly knowledgeable and great unique selection, staff really experts. We needed three types of rum for a special event and they had 40

Really disappointed with these guys. Online inventory showed several bottles of hard to get bourbon and whiskey. Showed up before the store opened and waited, only for an employee to tell me it was an inventory glitch once they did open. REALLY? How do you have an inventory glitch on 8 different types of sought after whiskey on the same day. I call BS. In reality its either reserved for bar/restaurant accounts (hope this is the case) or the good stuff is getting purchased by employees. Either way, somethings fishy...

Love it, come here every week.

Although they were out of my fav liquor they were still very helpful!

Great selection!

Great selection. Even with the help. Ill be back

Great selection. Employees are knowledgeable and entertaining!

Super friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Good selection of local distillery products. Manager helpful and personable.

Great selection and service.

I love coming here . Great staff, easy to get to know and currently expanding. Excited to see the results

An entire wall of whiskey, what else could you want? Excellent selection and knowledgeable staff.

Manager lied to me about inventory. Went to purchase a bottle of Rittenhouse Rye. Online inventory said over 70 bottles...I asked the clerk working the floor and she said you need to ask the manager about those. Manager said they had none in stock and that it was an issue with their inventory system.If there was none there, the clerk would not have had me ask the manager for a bottle. If its reserved to restaurants, just say so. Dont lie to a customer. Thats no way to have them come back.

Hood selection of spirits. Helpful staff.

Scott will tell you the best liquor.

Everyone is really nice and cool.

Its smells in here

AMAZINGGGG!!!! I have to say, and this is not my 1st rodeo! Scott makes it happen. Thank you!
