Great local business to frequent! Theyve been around since the 60s and you can definitely tell why when you stop in. Theres something about that more personal experience you get when shopping at a smaller local business versus one of the big box stores, and stays true here. The times that I have stopped in and couldnt find what I was looking for I was able to leave my info and always ended up receiving a call letting me know when it was back in stock and held for me. Its nice knowing there are some businesses that actually still care about their customers.

Went here for the first time tonight, as soon as I stepped in the door I could see there was a huge selection. The staff working there were really friendly, asked how my day was and what I was looking for and then walked me over and showed me what they had and then helped me get checked out. Very easy, very friendly and very professional.

I previously gave this store five stars after a friend of mine recommended I shop here and I had a wonderful time. Sadly, my friend who used to rave about this place told me today that after three years he’s done shopping here. I can’t believe a local business would treat a loyal customer with such disrespect.

This place gets one star because they dont treat you well for shopping locally and being a repeat customer. My buddy has shopped there for over 3 years purchasing lots of liquor wine and cheese and over the past two months they treat him like trash. They are not doing a good job taking care of their best customers and if theyre going to act like that you might as well go to Total wine and save your money.

This place wants to fail. The store looked nice but they are forcong customers to wear masks against Arizona policies and laws. Masks are NOT required in AZ. We immediately left without purchasing anything and will never try to go back.

First time checking them out and they did not disappoint. Found a few things the chain stores in town dont have and had to grab them. Also their pandemic response is commendable. Photos are just their whiskey/bourbon selection.

Went in for Pisco and they had it at the same price as total wine. Closer than total wine and I like supporting small businesses. BUT they close too early at 7pm.

I love this local establishment, they are super friendly and have great deals. I would much rather go here than a chain store.

Together with Plaza, this place has literally anything you may need regarding liquor and hard-to-find bottles. I literally cannot stress enough that there is essentially no reason to go anywhere but here and Plaza for whatever the case may be.

I was looking for a certain rum, English Harbour that I bought on a cruise in Antigua. They didnt have it. But they had an excellent selection. I had looked at a big box store before and just hadnt found one that I liked. I researched top rums under $100. I returned and looked over the selection. Several were possibles but one had a funny name, The Real McCoy. Looking over the selection I decided it had to be good to be rated so well with that name. Its from Barabdos, single blended rum, small batch and single-cask aged in American bourbon barrels.with no added sugar or color. I picked the 5 year old. Great pick, I love it. And the best news it was cheaper than the net said it would cost. The staff was informative and made some recommendations the first trip. The second trip after research I just needed to look the bottles over. I saw a number I had read about but didnt see the first trip. Plenty of great choices.

Since in Arizona you can buy liquor in virtually every store, its nice to have a chic place to go just for alcohol with a very knowledgeable staff. I always go here before I arrive at any event. They have pretty much anything you could want to drink as well as a cheese deli and a well stocked gourmet nibble selection.

Tom & Jenny are incredibly knowledgeable about all sorts of spirits and wines. Theyre able to search out exactly what you are looking for with a little bit of description, and their recommendations are almost always a winner! Cant say enough about this place and the knowledge packed into it! Highly recommend it.

Total racist woman running the counter- she greeted everyone that was white with hello can I help you? When we walked in NOTHING she just looked up and away!Will not be going back. In 2014 we Hispanics still need to deal with idiots like her. Shameful. We purchased or $70.00 of Cognac and left. Only because we needed a present for a birthday gift! Get with the times Rum Runner!!
