“I love the manager here he is always so friendly everyday that I come in. Hes here from opening to 2 in the afternoon! And this store has the best flavor or drinks and snacks, come check them out!!”
“I revisited this store after a year and was amazed by the transformation under the new ownership. It’s incredibly clean and well-organized. The owner is exceptionally courteous and welcoming. The wine and liquor collection, especially premium selections like Yamazaki, is outstanding. Highly recommend checking it out — a hidden gem!”
“Hello I'm diva, a original kid that was raised on the block known as 24. I saw knd mart over the years and they only got better. The energy, the love when I come home is beyond matched. I call it not just my home store, but my rainbow store, full of treats, household things, and many more, not to mention daily stocked with fresh shit. Gne n bring bk the link n salami sandwich. Luv yall
Go check them out.”
“I love Ledger's and have been coming here for years. They're the go to liquor store for cocktail lovers in the east bay. They have an amazing selection of all sorts of liquor, and their staff is very knowledgable about it. I recently ordered our wedding liquor through them. They were really helpful in getting the exact brands I requested and organized when I went to pick up the liquor. The wedding cocktails came out amazing!
tl;dr amazing liquor store in the east bay, come if you're opinionated about what you mix in your drinks.”
“I'd first heard about this place from Dr. Dave Jalen about 13 years ago. As a guy that doesn't drink, doesn't buy wine, and isn't very fancy...I'm at a loss about anything alcoholic. Wine scares me. Dan has been my trusted advisor for the past 13 years. He's not only provided me very solid recommendations (with a 100% appreciation rate), he has also helped me buy some legendary wine for some dental legends (Dr. Carl Misch (Dentist to pope John Paul, RIP), Dr. Jeff Brucia). Some of his wines are impossible to get, even for the dentist of the pope. Thanks, Dan!”
“Best beer bottle/ can store in the world so far that I have found. Huge selection of premium beer. I drink ipa and they always have something I like. Especially Pliny the elder but I am always trying different ipa’s to see what’s out there. Super chill usually not too many people in there. Customer service is always chill (good thing)”
“Hosted a women's wine-tasting networking event here in August and had a blast. The space is relaxed and beautiful, lots of cute seating. Bay Grape offers a wide variety of wines. We had a flight of women-made wines from California. Nadine, Kylie-Ayn, and Stevie are great to work with! Will continue swinging by for the occasional sips of something out of the ordinary.”
“I love coming here on Saturdays to taste wine! Brandon is so knowledgeable and passionate it creates a welcoming environment where everyone can learn something new. The prices are great and the service is so awesome. Worth the drive over the bridge to get my wine here :)”
“Neighborhood Corner & Liquor Store is a mainstay on MacArthur and staffed with helpful and friendly folks. Good Sëlection of wares behind the counter and not.”
“Open late until 2am, carry huge selection of liquor and wines, mixers, sodas, groceries you'd expect from your neighborhood convenience store and the guys behind the counter are always professional and courteous. The reason I give it a four and not a five star is parking can be a huge challenge.”
“I've now been to 2 of Jackson's affiliated liquor stores; each has knowledgeable staff and a good selection of beers and spirits. I go for the bourbons and stouts and am never disappointed in the selection. be prepared to pay a bit of a premium, but know they have some choices not found at competing local stores. I will definitely continue to shop there.”
“Great customer service! Shout out to Nuala, who provided a great experience for us. We arrived at the Montclair shop, which has an amazing selection of wine and cheese. Unfortunately, the gift cards we had weren't working, as they'd recently switched over to a new system. I thought we were going to have to come back another time, but they thought of a creative solution.
To make up for it, they let us pick our selection (with a nice discount) and hand-delivered our products to us at our apartment in San Francisco the next day (once they sorted out the Gift Card issue).
Appreciated the extra effort!”

“In a world of supermarkets, I love a corner neighborhood market. Great selection of snacks, drinks, candy, and grocery items. Went for the cheessteaks . Have to say, for the little corner shop, they were pretty good! They make them fresh, call ahead if you don't want to wait.”

“The staff are super nice! This is a basic liquor store ...They have some of the cheapest liquor and domestic beers, sooo enjoy!The place has a few snacks and household section. No produce or fruit. They definitely have ice cream. Varies tho... If you want something special,..... this probably isn't the place, but if you need something now and want good customer service. ... go here!”

“Helados ice cream, bagged cotton candy. And what I can say about these nice folks is they let you use the restroom instead of the usual BS "it's out of order"”
“Very well curated collection of Spanish foods and wine.if you have a need for conservas or Spanish wines there is no one else doing it better.if you need a a nice picnic or provisions for an epic pallea this is the place.”
“Alkali Rye isn't what I'd consider your "normal" liquor store.They have a wide selection of wine, spirits, and non-alcoholic drinks (coffee, teas, etc.) and other items that are more unique that going to a normal liquor store.They really try to feature women-owned/people of color-owned businesses as well as local businesses. They have a range of different priced items to match different occasions.When I've been the owners and staff seem pretty knowledgeable about the different items and have helped me and others to make good recommendations and not just trying to upsell the most expensive items.I'm a whiskey fan, so I'll put it this way, if you just want a bottle of Jack and Jim, you probably wouldn't go here. But if you want a good bottle that you couldn't get at a Safeway, come here!”
“Wonderful wine shop with a HUGE selection of reasonably priced wines, as well as a few $$$. The proprietor and staff are knowledgeable and helpful. I ducked in to grab a bottle and asked for a French in the $30-50 range was was pleasantly surprised when they recommended a $32 bottle instead of a $48 bottle. Way to make a sale and get a fan for life! They also do tastings, at least on the Friday I was there. I can't wait to go back and explore their selection more.”
“Love this place! Friday wine samplers are good and have a lot of variation - Like wines from Georgia! They just set up a cute bar area in the back as well. Hot tip: You can order tons and tons of wine or liquor. I got bottles of Ginja from Portugal shipped to me!”
“Nice staff.Too damn hi priced on Henny....Liquor Stores need to think about throwing in a Coke Cola or A Juice when u buy a bottle of what ever Alcohol these days..Think about it at least...”
“Great friendly service, respectful worker.You need to be there to experience what i am talking about .You want disapointed .My favorite store.Keep up the good work.Bless up.”

“When you need a fresh fruits and veggie pick-up during the middle of the week and don’t want to deal with the hassle of going all the way to Safeway this place is great especially if you’re within walking distance. They don’t jack up the prices here either the prices you get here for fruits and veggies is the same as Safeway.”
“Best store with the best customer service. Victoria Liquors knows how to value their customers and make them feel appreciated. I will always do business with them because they provide high quality products with a 5 star customer service!!!”
“The staff at the Orinda BEVMO are very polite and helpful. On the rare occasion that they don't have what I'm looking for they are quick with alternative choices of a similar nature.”
