Pretty large selection of beer here, but it's not the best selection out there. (For that, go to Willows Market in Menlo Park). The beer turnover here, however, is not very good. I've been here a couple times in the last several months, and I've seen mostly the same breweries and labels (maybe 10% change?). But my biggest issue with Holly Market is the cost - Their prices are the highest I've ever seen in the Bay Area. Four-packs of micro-brew pint cans run about $2 more than they are anywhere else, including Whole Foods. And if you grab a 4-pack of a double or triple IPA, you'll be paying at least $4 more than other places. I asked about this the last time I was here, and the guy said, "Higher alcohol beers are more expensive," which in general is true; but not THIS much more expensive. It seems to me they are using that as an excuse to double their already-high markup. I've actually cancelled more than one purchase here when I saw the actual charge pop-up on the register. (Note: They don't post prices for most beers). I was going to give Holly Market 3 stars, but based on the unusually-high Yelp rating...and abnormal number of 5-star reviews from newbies (We know what that means!) I'll do my part to move the needle in the direction of the real world. Interestingly, the very act of writing this review has made me realize one thing: I'm done with this place.

I just paid $40 for Kraken Rum, which is double the price. They upcharge way too much for so much of their selection and do not advertise the prices. Never going back

I bought a 375 ml bottle of E&J brandy for $9.82. a few nights later I went to Centerwood liquor store in Belmont and bought the same bottle for $6.99. Realizing this horrible over pricing, I will never, ever shop at Holly Market again. Screw you guys!!

1st time in today and definitely won't be my last. Huge selection of local craft beers. Beers are rotated out every other week. If you're a Russian River fan, this is the place to go if you can't get to Santa Rosa or Windsor.

Probably the most expensive liquor store I've ever been to. They were selling a bottle of whiskey for $140 that cost $92 normally at total wine and more. They have a big selection of craft beers, but $20-$30 for a 4 pack is just crazy.

I was impressed by the selection of frozen food options available, ranging from frozen fruits and vegetables to pre-made meals and desserts. The store also has a great selection of fresh produce and pantry staples like canned goods and baking supplies. In addition to the great selection and quality of products, the customer service is also outstanding. The staff is knowledgeable, pleasant, and eager to assist customers in any way they can.I really recommend Holly Market to anyone in need of frozen food, groceries, beverages, and other necessities. It's worth a visit whether you're stocking up for the week or seeking for something specific.

First time in here after living in San Carlos for 11 years. Bigger and nicer inside than I was expecting. Great selection of beer, booze and snacks.

No one in the store, except me, had a mask on. Not even the employee was wearing a mask as mandated by the county. Doubt I'll be back
