We came over here to see if we could pick up some Soju and luckily they had some. I'm sure that the older man behind the counter was probably questioning why 5 young-looking adults came into his store all at once but we were on a mission and needed a quick in-and-out place There were a few items marketed for Christmas that were still being sold but I'm sure that the products were still good. read more

Too bad can't give it zero stars, unpleasant experience. I was watched closely in this tiny store. Overcharged on liquor, will not ever patronize this business again. After some searching found a better liquor store with a pleasant atmosphere and workers. read more

Drove all the way out here and y'all are most Definitely not 24 hours , total waste of time , update your hours! read more

They follow you around the store as if you're going to steal and don't attempt to talk or make conversation with anyone. Dont come to this store unless you want to get treated like your money doesn't matter. read more

How could I give this place any less than 4 stars when the old man behind the counter asked to see id :-) Very small local liquor store that has a few rare finds that you won't find at the local Publix wine selection. Price are decent and no excessive small talk. Walk in, do maybe two u-turns and you've found exactly what you're looking for or something different has gotten your eye. read more

Owners of the store were interrogating me and my sister asking if my UBER DRIVER was old enough, And the wife was talking about us in Hindi to her husband while ringing us up. Horrible experience for the 5 min I was in there l, idk how you make buying liquor a shitty experience but they managed to do it. Spend you're money somewhere else, they clearly don't want it if they're worried about Über drivers. read more

After looking up my out of state ID in a book and seeing it clearly match what was listed, I was denied the sale. Don't expect to walk out of the store having made a purchase unless you are 50+ and have a Florida ID. Selection limited, average prices, awful customer service. I will not be back and will tell others to go elsewhere. read more

The customer service here is terrible. Not even a hello is said by the gentlemen who runs the store. I've been coming to this store out of convenience but I realized today that this is a mistake because they are still earning despite not putting in the effort. Also, the prices here is slightly higher than the other stores in the neighborhood read more

This place sucks. The owners are extremely rude and questions everything about your ID. I don't have a problem getting questioned about my ID but don't treat me like I'm 12. Walked out of the place without purchasing anything. Would gladly drive the extra miles for a much nicer customer service. read more

Have been here several times out of convenience and every time my total is different than what it should be! No itemized receipts. Went to check out and my total was $28. Questioned her on what the prices should have been because it seemed high and my total was suddenly $21. Shady people! Shame on you. read more

The owners are completely unprofessional, rude, and demeaning. I was in line observing the woman behind the cashier counter get her hand smacked twice by the male cashier when she spoke rudely to a customer, and tried reach over him and grab the customer's ID's (the customer had more than one, when one valid ID to scan SHOULD be enough). I then saw the gentleman in front of me also waiting to purchase walk out after observing their rude behavior, and I followed. Will not be returning. read more

Sent my son to get 2 bottles of Jack Daniels black label and he ended up going here. Total was $53.48. Checked Total Wine and Liquors Town Center website and the same size (750 ml) bottles cost $18.99 each. At 7% sales tax, Total Wine is $40.64. If you want to throw away your money because it's more convenient not to drive, literally, 3-4 miles down the road, then go ahead. First and last time this store gets my money. read more

This isn't the biggest liquor store in the area, but it's in a convenient location(in the Publix shopping center, next to Crazy Sushi)and they carry a good selection of liquor for the size of the place...FYI(I'm probably not the one that you would want to ask about, or have an in depth conversation about any kind of alcohol...LOL!)I'm the one that always gets the drinks that are masked by juices, sodas...etc. The only thing I can definitely tell you that you might want to buy elsewhere is your sodas, or tonic water because it's way overpriced here and there's a Publix in the same plaza as well as a CVS across one street and the Gate food post across the other. Other then that I think if you haven't given Bombay a try, you should look into it. read more

DON'T EVEN WASTE YOUR TIME AT THIS PLACE. Complete garbage. Seriously, just drive to the Town Center. Or anywhere else. I have an out-of-state ID and they 1) pulled out a book and studied it for two minutes. 2) Used a UV light. 3) Scanned it using a machine. 4) Asked me to recite my birthday and my address. 5) ASKED ME FOR ANOTHER PICTURE ID. Took entirely too long and they were extremely rude. Also, they jack up the prices. I will be telling everyone I know not to go there. Hopefully they go out of business. read more

Four stars as it doesn't have a huge variety, but the owners are so sweet! If you're looking for your own liqour store around the Southside area, check it out. read more

rude Indians harassing about an id when I answer everything correctly have 30 things with my name on it. Boo boo im 22 but please treat me like I'm 12 happily taking my money somewhere else read more

They are always very friendly and polite with me and anyone else I know that goes there. I've gone here for years and will continue to do so. read more

Great neighborhood liquor store run by a very nice family. Wish they would add to their selections, but we always find what we need.

Terrible customer service...I came into the store to make a purchase and once the couple in line in front of me left the owner's wife locked the door behind them and locked me in; as if I was going to steal something or worse. I've Never felt so disrespected read more

Every time I have come here (twice) I have been questioned repeatedly about my ID. I was forced to read my street address twice, spell my name twice, and had to State my date of birth multiple times. Once I was even with my mom when I went. This place makes buying alcohol seem like a crime. read more

This is my 1st ever review on Yelp. Never expected that I would review the worst experience of my life. The place looks decent but the people in there are big time arrogants. Specially the woman out there is so rude and does not know how to communicate. I had to go once to this store since it was christmas eve and this was the only liquor store open. I have been there once before as well. Every time she asks us for an ID and we got to tell her our address and date of birth. Seriously? Who does that? The reason I am pissed off is she never asked anybody else who went before or after me! For some weird reason its just me! May be it is just racism! But what is ironic is that I am Indian just like the store owners. I seriously want to know why they do this! When confronted, she said she asks everybody for their ID. When I actually asked her why she didn't ask the others before me, she just didnt answer! The way they treat customers is awful. I would have no stars for this store but it doesnt give me such an option.I would suggest not to go this store unless you really have to! read more

I've bought alcohol from here several times and all of a sudden on an American holiday weekend they no longer accept "out of state IDs" tried to show her several forms and she just said no. I wouldn't go here unless you have your passport, birth certificate and social security card. Don't know how they'll stay in business not serving to out of state IDs in a vacation state. Also very rude every time I've been in there. Don't recommend at all. read more

Better have your passport, and birth certificate to buy booze here. I'm 24 with a professional career. Bought booze here 10+ times. Scanned my ID valid, I recited all info in the card and she stilllllll would not sell to me. read more

I have been here twice, and I had SEVEN forms of ID on me the second visit (two passports, one military / government issued ID, two licenses, and two school / college ID's to prove my identity further), and finally when I caused a stink the second time after being brutally and rudely asked to leave a month ago in the first instance, the man tried to sell to me, and I walked out anyway due to the aggressive nature of the woman. I don't know if they are discriminatory or prejudiced, but the argument "But you can go somewhere else, you look so young" is ignorant. Yes, I'd hope I look young, I'm 22, not 57! I expressed that if they had a problem, they should call the cops, because they of all people will confirm my ID is real. Also, if I have a GOVERNMENT issued ID, why would I incriminate myself and risk prison time (as having a fake government ID is a FEDERAL offense) for a 20 dollar bottle of liquor? These owners should be ashamed of themselves, as your largest key demographic in liquor are generally us millennials (AKA the ages between 21-34), and your rude behavior is disrespectful, and in poor taste. They have a limited selection anyway, so may as well make your trip 15-20 minutes away to somewhere who will actually take you seriously and show you an ounce of respect. P.S. They also have an ID SCANNER, which confirms aside from manual observation if an ID is fake, and both of my licenses (my old as well as replacement due to an address change) passed, and still I was questioned. Safe drinking, everyone! read more

The only reason I am giving this place 2 stars is because it's the only liquor store in a 2 mile radius. It's very small and typically out of the wine I buy, because it takes them forever to restock. Every single time I go to register they stare at my ID and debit card to make sure the names match and that I'm of age. They almost make you feel like your 20 years old and doing something wrong! I now only go here when I want liquor or am completely tired after work and don't want to deal with Publix. The employees that work here stare at you the entire time like you aren't welcome. Btw, I am a 29 year old business woman, not some barely legal college student. read more

Customer service is absolutely awful. I have never been greeted when entering the store and they are never friendly. My boyfriend and I have been going here for the past year and they rejected my license because they "no longer accept out of state licenses". Just because I'm originally from a different state, I currently live and work here. They still insisted to be rude and would not sell to us. In addition to that, the customer in front of us was almost denied as well because her ID had straight hair while her hair in person was curly. Absolutely ridiculous. Will never shop here again. Also agree with everyone who says you need 5 additional forms of ID to prove to them who you really are. read more

I've bought liquor in there multiple times, and yesterday the woman at the counter took my ID, scanned it multiple times, looked at me, then my ID, used the pen to check for the watermark, had me recite my address, had me sign a piece of paper, and took ten minutes before telling me she wasn't going to sell to me. I thought that was awfully ridiculous, considering I was a regular and my identification was obviously real. I'm 26. read more

This is one of the only times I have hated the way I felt leaving a store. If you need beer, publix is around the corner. If you need liquor, go anywhere else. That can not be overstated. The lady at the counter was rude and inconsiderate. I will NEVER shop there again and I hope you do the same. read more

I'm 24 years old and the old lady behind the counter kept saying the ID was not mine when it clearly was. I even had my credit card with the same name on it PLUS my social security card just to prove to her it's me. She still didn't believe me. I will never go back to that crappy store.. They lady was so rude. She didn't like me because of my color. read more

If I could give them zero stars I would. My friend and I are Egyptian and African American respectively. We walked up to the store and were immediately given a "look" by the woman standing outside. She then opened the door for us, we were very polite and said, thank you as we walked in. We looked around for some wine, made our selection and went up to the front. I put my selection on the counter, she asked for both of our IDs and when they were handed over, she proceeded to study them like they were fakes immediately. I am 32 years old, my friend is 29, we look our ages. We both have valid, local, non expired FL licenses. The woman then calls over a gentleman who was sitting at the front of the store, says something to him in another language and then says, "I do not recognize." We questioned her because we didn't understand what that meant and she said, "I do not recognize, I do not sell." So just to confirm we asked if she was refusing to sell to us. She said yes, so we put our merchandise down and left. If you need beer or wine go to Publix around the corner and if you need liquor there is a place north on Southside to the left. Please don't give these people your money. read more

Very very racist if you are young and black do not go here!!everytime I went in I was followed around the store she starred and asked if my id was real everytime I go in , constantly quizzing me on the information on my license. She is always trying to find a way not to sell me alcohol even thought I am 23 years old with a valid I'd and always have it presentable and ready because I am already aware of the tense and racist environment. The last time I visited the location which pushed it over the top I was confronted by the women working in the store stating that her husband confronted me about my id asking if I have an id , I was completely caught off guard by allegations because I've never met her husband and I always always present my id because I am in a liquor store buying alcohol besides the fact I'm harassed everytime I come in. This place is very racist and seem scared of younger black people I am always well dressed and drive a 2016 Lexus so id hate for an average black person to go in if I'm treated in this manor. read more
