    What happens as soon as you walk into a store for the first time will tell you a lot about the culture of the business. When I walked into CG & L, I was greeted by the Keg and Liquor King himself, Reuben. Reuben is super friendly and has been running this historic Poway liquor store for over a decade. The current owner is Mike and this store has a place in Poway history. California Keg & Liquor was the first official business to have running water in Poway Currently they are one of the go to liquor stores in Poway for selection on beer and liquor. If you're looking for something specific, ask Reuben, if he doesn't have it, he'll order it. I'll be back.

    Love these guys. I have my business, Directv local dealer Poway, right across from their shop and stop in there about once a day. Great selection of local and International craft beers and a good wine selection at reasonable prices. Always have a smile on their faces and they have recommended quite a few customers to us over the years. Thanks Mat,Ruben and crew.

    I stopped by Ultra Fuel on Poway Rd at around 8:20 PM to get my propane tank filled before leaving…read morefor a trip at 4 AM the next morning. The employee refused to help and told me they "stop propane after dark" and that I needed to come back tomorrow. I explained that I couldn't because I was leaving early in the morning and was just asking for a little understanding and customer service. He didn't care whatsoever and just repeated that he didn't want to do it. The frustrating part is that it was obvious the tank COULD have been filled, this wasn't about inability, it was about unwillingness. No compassion, no attempt to help, no effort to make a sale or take care of a customer. Just complete indifference. A business with 1.7 stars on Yelp clearly has a reputation for a reason, and after this experience I understand why. Customer service goes a long way, and this place has none. Instead of helping someone out for a few minutes, they lost a customer permanently. I'll definitely be warning friends and family to avoid this place. Definitely DON'T buy propane here. And honestly, with gas stations on the other two corners of the intersection, take your business anywhere else. Whether it's for gas, diesel, a drink in the convenience store, or even a snack, I'd recommend supporting one of the other stations because I'm sure they would appreciate you as a customer far more than this place does. I had a propane tank that was a different size and couldn't just do a standard cylinder exchange somewhere else, which is why I needed a reliable place to fill it. Instead, I got terrible service and zero willingness to help.

    Horrible customer service. I have been to this business twice in the last month trying to fill up a…read more7.5 gallon propane tank. The first time I was told it couldn't be filled because it was almost dark and the employee was working alone. Tried again a few weeks later and was told to wait by the large propane tank. After a while employee comes out and then tells me he can't fill it up because he's busy and working alone and to come back another day. Made a point to tell him their customer service is awful and I won't be coming back for propane or gas for that matter ever again.
