  • "Great local liquor store with wonderful owners Jim And Tina. They are friendly, accommodating, funny and welcoming. Living so close to this store for my libations and 7-11 for my milk, I'm in heaven. They go the extra mile to make every customer feel important and their customer service is awesome"

  • "Nice family run store! It's clean and I've only had interaction with one of the owners (a lady). The store is right next door to the little Mexican take-out I go to. I would usually only go to this store to buy lottery tickets. I had a problem and she helped me with my write in ticket in between helping customers. Very, very nice and helpful. Plus the store is extremely clean. Well I know where I'm changing to purchase lottery tix. Maybe my luck just might change too. LOL."

  • "This family run liquor store is simply set up, has your regular run of the mill beer, wine, and hard liquor. Typically open from 8am-11pm, Ive visited this store when running out catch the train from the Hillsdale CalTrain station. Service: 5 stars. Selection: 4 stars. (sometimes they are out of that one snack you were craving) Prices: 5 stars. Cheaper than most liquor stores especially their cigarettes. Cheers"

  • "One of the best independent liquor stores around. They're small, but have a good selection of most of the staples you need, liquor-wise. Their prices on Guiness six-packs are much cheaper than the Safeway sale price. It is family owned and they are all extremely friendly and courteous. When they hand you their lotto ticket, they always say "good luck." Hey, every little bit helps. Cash only for purchases under $10. And they do have a small selection of candy and chips, but not much."
