Great selection of spirits and high quality wines. I stumbled upon Slake while on a walk. I was…read morelooking for Sake and they had a good selection to choose from. I chose well. I was also looking for a white wine that had a mineral quality to it. The gentleman who helped me was very knowledgeable and I chose one of two that he described to me. I haven't tried it yet, but based on the quality of the sake I purchased I'm sure I won't be disappointed. I will try more things when I am in the neighborhood again.

We have come in several times looking for specific types of wines or liquors, and Daniel the owner has never steered us wrong.

He is quite elderly at this point. & We Love Him!!!!!! It's an excellent top quality liquor store with fabulous prices and fantastic service. As others have pointed out here; this store isn't merely stocked with every kind of liquor you might desire, they also have a wide range of sundries and needables. If you need something, you're in the Upper Haight or Cole Valley, it's midnight and you don't want to go far, Frank's almost always got you covered. Pet supplies, hygiene items, household items, Super glue, shoelaces, boot laces! You need it? Frank's got it! The open hours are five star also. Frank's Liquors is really everything you could ask for- it's The Best!!!

Wine House is a spacious, un-intimidating wine space. The first time I visited, I was greeted…read moreimmediately and felt welcome. I asked the employee what they recommended based on my love of Larmandier-Bernier, and they conceded they didn't currently have it, but they asked what I liked about it, and what budget I was comfortable with. I gave them my parameters, and they recommended a blanc de blanc that I really enjoyed, and they unpretentiously shared information with me about the champagne. They have a mailing list you can subscribe to in store or online, and be sure to do it! They make sure to only mail you news about the types of grapes/regions you choose. I am always happy to open their emails b/c they are purposeful and infrequent. They always offer a special on a dozen wines, so I finally decided to take them up on it. I submitted my order online and during COVID, they operate with curbside pickup. After I submitted my order, I emailed asking for the weight of the dozen b/c I was planning to walk back w/my dozen. David very quickly replied with a kind recommendation based on the distance and weight he estimated. I arrived with a 60L backpack in tow, I gave them a call that I was outside, and they safely placed my dozen outside and patiently waited while I packed to confirm that I was able to transport everything myself. They also include a description of each wine w/the dozen purchase including pairings. The dozen is a GREAT deal b/c it averages to about $10 a bottle for quality wines that I will certainly be buying again.

It's that season and change is in the air in San Francisco. This season starts in the Summer and…read morecontinues through the Winter. For those who know it's the San Francisco 49ers season. I found gold in the streets of San Francisco . May I say 49ers gold. This corner liquor store on 24th street is the namesake of late native born San Franciscan late great Forty Niner Bob St. Clair who played with the 49ers for 11 seasons. The outside of the place looks like a typical 24th street corner liquor store. Go inside and it's not the same. Inside you see rows of bottles of wine and bottles stacked to the ceiling. The prices here are Purdy(pretty) good. The 49ers colors are red ,white and gold ( all my favorite colors in the wine world) and St. Clair has it whether you are a red and white wine fan or champagne gold there is a variety available. Personally I like my wines semi -sweet, juicy ,spicy, and savory red. Make sure you don't forget the bottle opener for the 49ers season opener. So during the game pass the champagne and the bottle of wine, Like 49ers Quarterback Brock Purdy passes it across the Touchdown line

First, sort these reviews by date. Nothing new is good. I pretty much never write negative reviews…read more I take feedback to managers or owners. But this place has gotten so bad over the past couple of years, it's time. The people who staff this store couldn't care less about customers. They ignore you when you go in, they (sometimes) blast music really loud so you can't hear what they say IF they talk to you. The things they stock have dwindled to almost nothing but snacks and drinks. Instead of shelving they now have cardboard box "shelves" for things in one part of the store. The last time I was there I put something on the counter and was waiting to be helped and the person just kept stocking the shelf. He was the ONLY person working, looked at me when I came in but didn't say anything, and then turned his back and kept fussing with boxes. I could have taken something and walked right out the door. Not that I ever would do that but it's THAT unhelpful. Then when he finally slowly sauntered over he pointed to a different spot on the counter for check out. 3 feet away. Just go behind the counter and grab the item and move it where you can check it out. I walked out. I "get" that it's hard to find good retail help but the key word is SERVICE. I have never heard anyone say thank you after a purchase, a hello when one comes in. At best one gets a shrug. I was looking for a specific beverage for cooking once and I got a point from the counter. Another time I needed ice and I asked them to help grab them out of the freezer (I needed multiple) and it was as if I asked them to stand on their head. I have lived in the n'hood for more than 10 years and used to go here to pick up a beverage here or there and always threw in other things. Now I go to anywhere else. I tried again today and was reminded just how OUT of TOUCH this place is with what it means to have basic manners and the simplest customer service. The owners need to do a better job of learning about how to run a retail store or sell it to someone who does. There's a perfectly good convenience store a few blocks west and Gus's has plenty of beer and wine. Stay away from this place until they do better. How will you know? If you walk in and they don't look at you or say hello and stay on their phone just turn around and walk out. If they are trying, then see how it goes and come back to Yelp and share it's better. I wish it would be! I miss the former owners and people who used to work there who at least acted like they gave a #!@&. I'd give this zero stars for multiple visits over more than 2 years.
