Store is easy to find and in a good location. Secondary pricing for whiskey and bourbons are higher than normal with little to no negotiating. read more

Clerk: Do you have any questions? Customer: Do you have a bottle of Baker's? Clerk: What's baker's? (Why is he asking me if I have questions? He obviously knows three things about liquor: Jack, shit and markup). Customer: It's bourbon. Nevermind, I'll look for it. Help the customers with their powerball. Customer: There it is, but... is that price right? $85? Clerk: EIGHTY FOUR NINETY NINE. Customer: I'll give you $65. Clerk: hahaha. NO. This place is a typical bad neighbor trying to play a dumbass game of "we have burbbunum, you pay what we want." No. You're greedy dirtbag charging 70% markup on a bottle that's gone scarce thanks to our local Jim Beam Distributor (also complicit) that can be had in Los Angeles for $58. These are bad people looking to rip you off. Boycott them. Or don't. Just know that whenever you buy anything from this place you're supporting price gouging. read more

I been going here for a year now about 3 times a week! I been going to write this review for months now, but today I've had it with this guy! 11/15/2022 12:00 noon the man working is heavy set and bald & always on his phone! He never will help you EVER , he doesn't even get off the phone to ring you up! He's always talking about buying and owning expensive cars! He's now worth his weight in poop! Such a nice store for such a worthless man to be representing! read more

I used the establishment through Drizly app. There were incorrect items on my order and they quickly resolved the issue the following day. It was very nice of the owner to add an extra wine for the inconvenience. I will definitely try to stopped by when I'm in the area because they have good selections of hard to find Cognac and other liquors. read more

Adams Wine & Spirits - two bottles of wine and a box of wine - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - San Diego, California

These guys have been so clutch during these uncertain times of Covid-19 and quarantine. We have utilized them via the Drizly app for the past few months for red wine, gallons of milk for our two kids- you name it- so we don't have to frequent the stores as often with all that is going on. They have been SO FRIENDLY and so FAST and CONSISTENT, I felt compelled to write a good review on here, as I only Yelp when it is important to me. Thank you for keeping these parents going during these stressful times, Adams!!! Cali read more

Dropped in here last week before my salon appointment and was very pleasantly surprised by the friendly service, the nicely organized shelves and wide unobstructed aisles, and all of their offerings -- way beyond just alcohol. The best surprise was their beer cave which is a great idea that they've executed perfectly. I only wish I lived a little closer. Highly recommend! read more

Really, this is one of the best liquor stores around. Personally, I don't think anything beats Clem's in Kensington... but Adams Avenue is apparently chalked full of fantastic stores to buy the crunk juice. The guys working this joint are super, super cool. Rarely will you find a liquor store clerk willing to even make eye contact wit you, let alone actually TALK to you. Whether it's about the hottest selling Lotto ticket, or their favorite bottle of wine currently in stock... they'll actually take the time walk you through any questions you might have. Speaking of wine, they have a pretty legit selection. Many more high-end brands than you'll find at most run-of-the-mill spots in throughout the city. Good prices to boot! I really can't say enough good things about this joint. Czech it out sometime! read more

Adams Wine & Spirits - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - San Diego, California

I come here to get drinks all of the time. The people who work here are very friendly and helpful!

The only reason I don't want to give this place 5 stars is because they might get too popular and raise their wine prices. Frank runs this store and his prices are the best. Love the beer cave. Every time I walk into the beer cave I wonder if the rapture just happened. read more

The first time I went to this store I was treated really well. I was so pleased I spent a decent amount so the manager or owner gave me some glassware and a 50ml sample of liquor which I tried and enjoyed. Upon returning with a friend, I found that the liquor I had sampled was not available in a 750ml bottle. No problem. I still wanted to support this place. My friend and I found a few bottles we were interested in and when it was time to check out, the employee called his boss speaking in a language I couldn't understand and said he had to raise the price on each bottle by over $200. We walked out without purchasing anything and won't be going back. read more

Order liquor from here when I dont want to go out. Quick service and a low delivery fee compared to most stores on the Drizly app. Think this is a good service and response times are quick. Thank you for your service. read more

Ordered delivery from Drizly, they forgot my bottle of wine. They then said they would have someone else bring it. An hour later the guy calls and had the wrong address. I then ask for a refund and they won't give me one. NEVER USE THIS STORE FOR DELIVERY!!!!!!!!!!! Worst customer service ever!!!!!!!!! read more

Avoid Avoid Avoid!! Make sure you read this .... !! I took my item (a large bottle of beer) to the counter, the guy looks at me and asks if i want cash back .. I declined. It made me a little suspicious because no one ever asks that unless you're at a grocery store. He then asks if i want a receipt. Usually i don't bother but for some reason i said yes, probably because he made me feel uneasy. I glance at the receipt, as you do, without actually processing anything. Then the guy tells me, oh it costs 50 cents to pay on card, that's why it's that price. WHAT? I'm not a lawyer but i'm pretty sure you need to advise customers of that before, i emphasize BEFORE they make their purchase. Instead of the obvious strategy of they'll never know if they don't get a receipt. Are you crazy ....?? This guy is not a genius but consumers are too trusting and on auto pilot i find! His game plan .. 1. Ask if they want cash back. If they say yes then that offsets the 50 Cent charge. 2. If they say no, avoid giving them their receipt. 3. If they look at their receipt, wing it and slur something about 50 cent for something or other. Then, i go stand with my friends who are still looking at beer and the guy who just served me gets his iPhone out and takes a photo of us, with the FLASH on, which makes it obvious as hell. I stare him down and the other guy working there winks at me like, it's ok, you know the deal. NO. No i don't know the deal you amateur FREAKS. Be suspicious of customers, that's fine, but if they do steal something, your CCTV will capture it! Are you on this planet? My intelligence has never been so insulted in my entire life. All in the span of a minute. I think my jaw is still on the floor. Crazy .. read more

I wouldn't claim Adams to be above a BevMo with regards to the beer selection, it's much nicer than you would expect to find if you were to judge from the exterior, and the wide selection of wine and beers is more than worth a stop if you're in the area. After carrying a handful of bottles to the register, the guy started talking about the great lengths he had to go to procure an order of 750ml Ballast Point Sculpins, and how they were hard to find. I'm not sure this particular beer was particularly rare, but it was amazingly interesting, and that was more than enough to warrant the purchase. read more

Checked it out since it's nearby and I was looking for a gift for a friend's birthday. Guy at the counter was hyper enthusiastic about selling us stuff, but if there's one liquor I know about, it's Japanese whisky. It's crazy overpriced here and he tried to sell it to me anyway, saying that it was top shelf, and how Japanese whisky is the best kind of whisky etc. even though I knew it was mid-tier and at least $50 overmarked. As soon as I expressed mild disinterest, he just completely disappeared. I guess he couldn't bother keeping his con man act together if he couldn't sell us the first thing we saw. read more

Nick and Frank never never never make me feel like an alcoholic. They carry an impressive wine selection and there's typically a new seasonal beer to try out. They know the entire neighborhood patronage by name and will always remember a tidbit detail of your life that makes your heart warm like you've just gotten 1st place at the 4th grade science fair. They remember that you love that organic Pinot Noir, that your neighbor is out of smokes, and ask how your out of town friend that visited last week is. But what really made me write this today is that it's Christmas and they're open for the eggs, bacon, and other holiday treats you don't have in your kitchen. Nick and Frank don't celebrate Christmas, but will genuinely wish you one anyway. Here's the kicker: They were out of eggs and Nick went to his house and gave us 3 eggs. Don't expect this - my neighbors and I are special. read more

Fantastic selection of beer, wine and spirits, plus the BEST customer service! I love these guys. I have shopped here since 2001 and watched as Nick and Frank have worked to make the market better and better. If they don't have a beer I want I ask Frank and he'll have it for me the next time I go in. They always have a cookie for my dog. I buy all of my liquor here because I want to support this business. read more

At first, they had a decent price on their selection. Then when it came to payment, the clerk called his manager and raised the price from $199 to $399. Bad honoring system and pricing. All other stores have honored their prices listed on the shelf. This one raised them. read more

I like to drink...a lot. When in Rome. Wait, I don't think that applies here. Oddly enough, I too just moved into the neighborhood when Lucas O did. After spending many great years frequenting the Market Place in Banker's Hill, this place had a lot to live up to. Boy oh boy, do they ever. There is a great selection of wine, alcohol and beer as well as snacks and general necessities. Sure you can buy booze anywhere. But these guys are really friendly, take the time to chat a bit and get to know you. Over the last couple of weeks, I've been greeted by name when I come in. I like that, it makes me feel special...which my Mommy says I am, so it's a good feeling! read more

The beer selection here is just okay. It's not particularly vast and does not have anything that many others already have. Additionally, the prices are a little higher than MSRP, and I believe that beer should never exceed MSRP. The people there were friendly, but there just is no reason why I'd go out of my way to come here. A decent place, but not noteworthy. read more

Best Place Ever!!! Great selection of beer, cider, drinks, and candy! Good prices! amazing customer service. They carded me the day after my 40th Birthday! My favorite place ever!!!!! read more

Frank and Nick go out of their way to make you want to return to their shop. A nice and always growing variety of craft beers along with the staples make this a place everyone in the neighborhood can shop at. I asked for Chimay? Not only did I get Chimay in stock, but got some Piraat as well. This is walking distance from my house so the idea of not having to drive for great service sets this place above the rest. The prices are market and not gouging, like the place at the opposite end of Adams, of which I will explain in another review. read more

Allen , Frank and Nick are very respectful and the store is clean and pet and Family friendly. I have been a customer for years and would change were I go read more

Ok, every Liquor Store in North Park has Craft beer, Large Liquor selection, usually a bunch of chips and misc. stuff you may want but don't want to trek to Vons or Rite Aid... But they don't have Nick & Frank! Two most genuine dudes in North Park!!! And contrary to what these other people are saying, I've used my card MANY times there, and never had a problem. These guys are VERY honest and VERY nice, respectful, and at times hilarious!!! read more

The guys in here are so nice. They always call me by my name although I am ashamed to admit I don't know either of theirs. The service is always quick and efficient. There is generally one import beer on special for 9.99 a twelver which is always nice. The vino selection is very impressive. When I check out they usually remind me of my need to purchase smokes. They are all together very personable and they take care of their customers. I love having this place close enough to stroll. read more

What a great variety and so different than the typical SD Liquor store experience. I hope that more liquor stores will follow the example of Adams Avenue Liquor. They carry a wide variety of wine, beer and spirits. The employees are very friendly as well. You can tell they are their own customers as they seem genuinely engaged and interested in their products. I only dinged them one star because I called ahead looking for a particular product and was told that they had it, but when I got there they didn't. No biggie though, the guy was apologetic and made a few recommendations on alternatives. I wish I lived just a little closer, I'm just outside of walking distance. Regardless though Adams Avenue Liquor will make it into my regular rotation for my beverage needs. read more

Every small business in the country should take their customer service cues from the gentlemen that own this corner store. I love it when I go into a business and the person taking care of me acts like I work hard for the money I'm about to spend and that they appreciate the fact that I've decided to spend it at their establishment. Beyond the exceptional service, they have a nice selection of beer, wine, and spirits at reasonable prices. What more could you ask of a liquor store? I've seen some posts about the hours they keep, but I think it's only the two of them running the store. I figure they probably put in twelve hour days 7 days a week split between them both so I don't hold that against them. read more

I know during these time things happen. My Grubhub order was almost 2 hours late. Sounds like someone else got my order. Store jumped right on it and once I notified them, my order was replaced withing 30 minutes. Do have to agree with some of the other reviewers, their phone line is bad. read more

I love having this little store in our neighborhood. Nick and Frank are awesome. Always super friendly. I love having them as neighbors. Good wine and beer selection at decent prices. read more

The people that work here are amazing - they know us by name, know what we like and like to be involved in our lives. Not what you would typically expect from your average liquor store. We love catching up with Nick - he is so friendly and personable. This liquor store fits in perfectly in the neighborhood with their fantastic selection of craft beers. We always know we will have a great selection to chose from, with tons of local stuff plus hard-to-find beers. They have a great wine selection too, and have a great knowledge about it. We first started going here because we lived in walking distance. Now we go out of our way to come here since we've moved, say hi to Nick and the crew, and to give them are business. This is truly a cozy-neighborhood establishment - this is the way a small business should be ran! read more

Ordered through Drizly and the order took about two hours. call the store directly and the gentleman who answered was not speaking clear the phone was breaking up so I decide to get a car back after five minutes and no one answered. Ordered Jose Cuervo silver and got gold. Ordered Ritz crackers and got cheez it. Ordered Taylor port wine and got Taylor dry sherry. Call Store again to let them know about my order and I'm not sure if they blocked me or something phone doesn't even ring it automatically ends the call. read more

Love this place, great selection and the best customer service. Nick is the best. If there is something you need and you don't see it, ask and they will make it happen. read more

After a few visits here, Nick and Frank started welcoming me by name. At first I had thought my regular weekday-drinking had become a problem, but after a few more visits I realized that the guys there just treat all their patrons as friends as well as customers. Cool! I'm mostly a beer drinker. While their beer aisle is better than average, it's not the best I've seen. They'll keep the selection fresh with a handful of seasonals, and you can usually find a 22oz of something very nice. They've got an enormous wine/liquor selection, with regular sale prices. And if you're hungry, there's about two aisles' worth of snacks and such. I continue to visit here because I enjoy chatting with Nick and Frank, and I feel good about giving them my business. read more

Local liquor store run by a few men. I always have a positive and personal experience here, and so I very intentionally buy alcohol here.

Took care of my Beverage needs for a good two years. The guys here are great. They even tell me when my tail lights are out, haha. And use to make fun of us when we would come in a few times a night. read more

I've been here 3 times in the 2 yrs. that I have lived a block away from this establishment. I love Alcohol and more importantly, Beer! I have never felt more unwelcome in a liquor store in my life. A liquor store is a place of happiness and honestly I'm like a kid in a candy store every time I go to one ,but this place always leaves a sour taste in my mouth.I never feel the money I spent was ever worth it and more importantly the harassment I get from the owners is more than it ever should be. I'm just a man that enjoys his alcohol looking to give some fellow immigrants some business shouldn't make so hard and unpleasant for me to do so. Always trying to sell me things I don't want.....In short, don't come here it's really not worth the convenience. read more

I was walking by and realized how thirsty I was, so I popped in to grab a Gatorade. I was totally blown away at the selection of...well, everything. I went to the coolers where the soft drinks and things are, and they had a ton of really tasty sounding things I'd never heard of. I ended up getting a ginger ale and a raspberry lemonade, both of which were SO good. I perused the liquor selection while I was there, and I was impressed... they had a lot of interesting things. The gentleman behind the counter was SO nice and talked about keeping things the neighborhood folks like in stock, as an explanation for the different items I'd seen. I'll go out of my way to stop here in the future. read more

They did not tell me I was going to be charged for cash back. i got charged .50 cents. It is an alright store.

Great selection of craft brews to take home
