Decent selection (though they happened to be out of two things I asked for), but cant browse most yourself since its behind their counter. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Pretty expensive (the two bottles that I bought that are normally around $85 were $105 and $120), but good if you need the convenience.
Unique and fairly vast inventory of somewhat pricey selections of booze bottles ranging from $15 up to $1500. The shelves go up into neck craning territory, like two stories high and include many single malt whiskeys, wine vintages of note and rare rums youve likely never swallowed. Helpful staff takes the edge off what could be an intimidating atmosphere in a store that simply could not have existed on this corner during decades past when Casket Outlet was across the street. I got some delicious aged rum and did not regret it.
*TAKE YOUR MONEY SOMEWHERE ELSE*I would like to start by saying I don’t write reviews, but in this case I feel like I have to.My partner loves IPAs and I would once in a while get an unknown bottle of Gin to try. We went here on a Friday night on September 24, 2021 while we were on a stroll with our son, on our way to grab some delicious Mexican food on Valencia Street.To our disappointment, the service was non-existent and to add icing on the cake: JUDGEMENTAL and ELITIST. We walked in, no acknowledgment or a simple standard retail greeting of “Hello, anything I can help you with?”.My partner went straight to the beer section, and I looked around and saw there is a local San Francisco gin on the sale section. There was no price on this gin but decided to take it to the front register to add it to my partner’s IPA purchase. When he rang it up, I realized that it was out of my price range and informed the worker that I would pass on it. He then decided to follow it up with “It’s actually one of the cheaper ones”.First, it caught me off guard because of the lack of sensitivity when he made that comment, and secondly, did not offer to help find a good selection thy would be closer to my price range.When we left after my partner purchased his beer, we were both in disbelief about this person’s unkind words and lack of service. To make matters even worse, the IPA he got was not fresh, it was days away from expiring!
My neighbors were buying me some lovely whiskey for my birthday, but they didnt know much. Long story short they paid $114 for a bottle of 12 year old Caol Ila which is a $69 bottle.This place is a scam, buy your whiskey elsewhere.
Wonderful home bar supplies, bitters, booze and banter. Thanks for the indepth mezcal intro.
Super knowledgeable, friendly and chill staff.Great selection of beers and spirits (found some Caribbean rums we had trouble finding in SF. They also have had Deschutes Dissident beer the last few times Ive been in which is trickier to locate (Ive spent hours calling and trying to locate it in the past)They have a decent amount of wine but Im not sure what its known for.With a few stores in the city, if you strike out, theyre always willing to call and check if what you need might be in stock at their other locations.
You may say that their selection is too big! Theyre a bit pricy but have lots of unique options.
The person in charge was very friendly and good at describing the different alcoholic drinks available. I am impressed at what is available at the store.
Staff was super friendly and helpful
Ive been here twice now for beers. They have a great selection. I personally lean towards sours or IPAs and theyve come through both times.
An impressive liquor wall with and even more impressive staff. Stopped in here while passing through town and cant wait to come back! Staff is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, making the difficult selection of which fine whiskey to come home with a little bit easier. Looking forward to coming back next time Im here!
This place has a fantastic selection, and their staff is very knowledgeable. Its relatively small, so they dont have everything under the sun, but if you want high quality spirits that are nicer than the mainstream brands you find in Bevmo, this is the place for you. The wine selection is very limited, but they do have some good beers.
Very good selection. When what I wanted wasnt available, I received a very good recommendation on what else to buy.
Excellent very helpful and knowledgeable staff
Absolutely insane variety with all the favorites and tons of new stuff to try. The store is a beautiful space and the staff are really friendly. I just wish I lived closer...
Great store with a diverse and well curated selection of beers and liquors. They always have something new and interesting!
Nice shop with quality booze and genuine customer service in the mission. You cant go wrong here. Its stock with mid-range to high-end liquor. They even have Tennessee/Kentucky whiskey. A rolling step ladder to reach bottle is a good sign of a well-stocked place. Refrigerator doors from front to back filled with cold beverages including wine and champagne.
Huge selection of spirits, decent wine and beer alternatives. Knowledgeable service. I ride here from MB to get my fav cactus juice.
The selection. My God. Also the guy at the counter was super helpful and nice. Just overall great atmosphere, prices are ok but you can get individual cans to try different beers. Need to go back for the whiskey.
Incredible selection, well-curated, great experience every time. These guys are the best in the city.
Huge selection with lots of hard to find sprits and knowledgeable staff.
This is my favorite liquor store in SF. They have a great selection of both beverages and snacks, and theyre always so helpful.
Very knowledgeable staff!! Was able to pick out a great new bottle of Scotch. Huge variety to choose from - particularly if youre a fan of anything in the whiskey family.
The keepers know their stuff and will admit when they are not familiar with something, great quality! They are very eager to help. I really like this place.
Super knowledgeable staff - great selection of japanese whiskeys!
Love the selection at this place. Friendly, knowledgeable staff and do many options for beer.
This store is amazing. They are extremely knowledgable and have a great selection of craft products. I am especially impressed by the Sake selection!!
Excellent selection, and an extremely knowledgeable staff.
Always love going in to the store. The floor to ceiling shelves full of spirits is a sight to behold. On this trip we bought a chocolate liqueur (creme de cacao) and a sipping run (Diplomatico). Both were delicious and to die for. Nick who was at the store at the time gave us brilliant recos!
A great beer section, and the staff is super knowledgeable and makes great recommendations.
Outstanding beer selection. Almost too many good things to choose from.
Super solid collection of lots of beers, bitters, amaros, and other hard to find alcohol for cocktails.
Amazing selection. Great staff. Very clean.
Good selection but check the dates.
