Wow it's been a year and I stand by my statements, both the rude blob of man behind the counter and the price markup are just not worth coming in here. Better service and prices elsewhere. read more

Not so much a liquor store as a liquor imperium. We found a type of whiskey here that's pretty rare, I was impressed. Super friendly staff too. read more

Was my go to spot, they just made me pay for what was clearly an accident in a broken bottle of a cheap wine. Won't be coming back. If we can't forgive an obvious accident read more

Came in the other night and the mini cocktails had like dirt all over them - a lot of bottles do look like they've been here for a long time. Terrible selection if you like ciders. Never experienced it myself but have seen the guys behind the counter get into multiple fights with customers where they yell back at the customer over seemingly trivial situations. read more

Had the worst interaction with one of their sales people who would not let me speak when asking if they carry a specific product. They were beyond curt, kept talking over me and were dismissive. I used to live down the street and go there all the time and also have continued to send people there. Never again. Whoever works there Mondays (specifically 4/7/25) in the morning needs to brush up on their customer service skills. I will no longer send people to this liquor store or show them any support. I'm in sales and customer service and am shocked at how I was treated. read more

From a purely vibe level this place is great. The staff is incredible and they know their stuff. Great selection of beer, whiskey, and wine.

Afriend recommended them to me to try to find a Welsh Whiskey I've had a bit of a time trying to find. To my dismay, I couldn't find any recent mentions here, nor a Facebook presence. Fearing they'd fallen due to Covid, I decided to call them. THEY ARE OPEN! 10 AM - 10 PM!! To my delight, they carry the bottle I've been searching for! I can't wait to go check them out in person!! I may even give them the full 5 stars after I've had the chance to visit in person. BTW, the gentleman that answered the phone was pleasant and explained they did not have a Facebook presence, but could be found on Yelp and Google. He even impressed my friend because in his attempt to make sure he was looking for the correct thing, he asked, "Irish" where my friend, I guess from his reaction, would have expected him to ask, "bourbon"? read more

Very helpful staff and usually have anything and everything you're looking for. I recommend them for your adult beverage needs.

Horrible customer service. This is my local mini market and wine store I walk to with my family. They are very over priced but I shop there weekly because of the convenience. The guy knows me there. Today I bought two items said I didn't need a bag but forgot I was walking and did since I had multiple items, I said actually I do need a bag and was happy to pay the 10 cent fee but he said he already rang me up and I'd have to pay ten cents cash?! I said I'm happy to cancel and pay the extra 10 cents but he refused. Now this is a place I am a regular shopper at. Are you really going to lose a customer over one 10 cent bag one time. As a small business they really should treat there regular customers better. Really disappointed since I liked ti walk there. read more

Nice neighborhood liquor store. Good wine and beer selection, and a very impressive selection of spirits. Service is friendly and helpful.

Great local specialty liquor shop with pretty much anything that you want. It doesn't quite have the same community feel as Bar Keeper, but it's a great backup. read more

You're going to think I'm an alke' after this review. Honestly, I don't drink much anymore. I do like great quality spirits and craft beer once in a while. For me, it's more about quality than quantity and spending quality time with people. If you're looking for a variety of spirits, craft brews, and ales, this is the place to go. I stop Cap N' Cork when I'm in the neighborhood. I search for things that are hard to find like Japanese whisky which they do carry. Some brands the carry include Suntory, Yamazaki, Nikka, and Hibiki. They also carry Hitachino Nest Brewery, a great tasting Japanese beer. A few other favorites of mine they carry are Allagash Curieu (triple ale aged in bourbon barrels), Lost Cost Brewery (Downtown Brown), and Belgian ales, Delirium Tremens, and Trappistes Rochefort. Drink three Trappiste Rocheforts and you're guaranteed to sleep well. The owner here is helpful and a wealth of knowledge in spirits. If you're in the neighborhood, it's worth coming by to check out. By the way, they also have a great selection of wine. read more

I truly enjoy the variety of beers, wine, and hard liquor you can find here. I can literally spend tine here just looking at each selection they have. Price are t the cheapest but it isn't the most expensive either. read more

Clean, organized and welcoming. I was in search of a particular beer that only this location had in the 30mile radius. I called the owner, he was extremely helpful and bam! I showed up and bought two boxes. Strongly recommend this location. #hiddengem read more

I literally go here 2-3 times per week. Their beer selection is pretty much the best I've ever seen in LA, in part because it's the biggest. I don't drink wine, but they had LOADS of the stuff. They have a great whisky selection too, but their prices aren't in league with K&L or Remedy.... but beer-wise, they can't be beat. Plus, the guys who work there are super friendly and helpful. read more

Great prices and great service. Everyone knows their stuff here from wine to IPAs and liquor. Open till late and a great spot to visit before having fun. Their selections is immense btw. They have a nice cellar too if you wanna celebrate with unique and luxurious drinks! read more

Nice liquor store, I come here for the liquor selection. The wine selection is not nearly as good. It looks like a lot in the photos but I'd go somewhere else for wine. Liquor selection though is great, prices are average with occasional bargains in the mix. Staff is nice but not overly friendly. read more

Best liquor store in Los Feliz. Over the years, they do not disappoint with the best selection of craft beers in East Hollywood.

Okay place if you don't have time to go somewhere else or forgot to buy eggs at the grocery store. Prices are higher than other places. They have some weird things in here.. like really old canned pineapple juice with Donald Duck's face on it. Possibly from the early 90s? Lots of beer and wine to choose from but I almost never buy it here because it's expensive. Soda selection is eh. I wish they had something cool, like Curiosity Cola or amazing birch beer. At least they have Virgil's rootbeer if you forgot to get some at Trader Joe's. read more

Great selection of beer, wine, liquor and liqueur. Prices are slighted higher than your mega mart-type places but their knowledgeable and friendly staff makes up for the difference. And, again, amazing selection. read more

This is where to go when you want to buy to impress. Great whiskey, wine, and craft beer selections. This is a high end booze place so do not expect groceries. Great aquavit selection. Priced a bit higher than average but bet they have that rare rye you've been looking for. read more

This place is simply amazing if you are trying to find a unique bottle of wine, liquor, or beer. Fantastic selection. It's stocked very neatly, well organized, and spacious. They have many hard to find beers, as I was easily able to pick up a 6-pack of Asahi Black, which is pretty damn hard to find. I didn't take too much time to awe at the wall o' liquor as there was just too much to gawk and take in all at once. Sure, prices are not at a discount level, but it's not very overpriced. You can't really beat the local business feeling or service for the selection. read more

Cap N' Cork - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Greatest place to buy any liquor CUSTOMER SERVICE: It's always great the people at the front always help you find what kind of beer you're looking for or any hard liquor. ALCOHOL: They have a large variety of beers (6 packs or individual beers). I've found some beers that I didn't expect to find, but they had it. I've tried very random beers from here and this was the place I figured out what kind of beers I am into. They have rows and rows of wine and a huge wall of hard liquor. Oh and they have cups and wine glasses for such low prices it's amazing. OVERALL: This place is amazing. Make sure you come in because they have all your party needs haha. read more

I have been shopping here for a few years because of their good selection of beers. I had an experience today that will stop me from giving this business a cent more of my money. A few weeks ago, I made a purchase here of just over $160. One of the items purchased was a bottle of Allagash Curieux. I popped the cork last week to discover that the bottle was bad. FYI I am very familiar with this beer. I went back to Cap-n-Cork today to buy some more beer, and took the empty bottle back explaining the situation. The guy behind the counter said he could not give me a replacement as I did not bring the bottle back with any "juice" in it. He said it was "illegal" to give me a replacement bottle if I did not bring anything back in he bottle. He also said he did "not remember me", after never once asking to see the receipt. (I was wearing a mask, and the words in quotes are his exact words). First of all, I poured the beer into two Belgian chalices. Was I supposed to pour it back in the bottle, to bring it back a week later when I could? And what would they do - sample it during COVID? I asked for a good-faith replacement, and he rudely insisted it was "illegal" to do so without "juice" in the bottle. I felt like I was being treated like a criminal trying to scam them, and ended up walking out without purchasing anything. I ended up calling Allagash directly, who were very apologetic, and offered to reimburse me for the beer (BTW CnC's price is $24 vs. $21 at Whole Foods). They asked me in detail about the condition of the bottle (label were very loose and peeing off, including ones I saw in the display case today), and the appearance, aroma and taste (I let them know I am an advanced home brewer and a BJCP judge). I think it was a handling or storage problem, not a packaging one. Allagash said they were going to call their local distributor to pull the current batch and check it. They are also sending me a t-shirt for the trouble. It is mind boggling to me that a retailer like Cap-nCork is willing to create bad faith and risk loosing business for one bottle of beer. I am going to also spread the word of the way I was treated to my local brewing club, the oldest club in the US, with a very large membership. read more

Always a favorite and a delight when I swing by this place. Great selection, knowledgeable staff that is willing to answer questions and make recommendations. Whether your a novice or a connoisseur - this is a great place. read more

LOVE it here. Not the place to come for cheap deals, but IS the place to go for great selection and to discover new things. While it does look like the wine selection is amazing too, I can only really speak to the beer here, which is fantastic. They have my very favorite, Hitachino's Nest Red Rice Ale in both small bottles and big ones (pricey, but it's pricey anywhere) and a vast array of Belgians... actually... just a vast array, period. Got a FANTASTIC variety pack called "Sour Power" here which had a killer selection of different sours, which I love, and was cheaper than buying each individually. They also have a great little collection of gluten free options that are FAR better than the gnarly usual sorghum varieties (ew). I highly recommend trying Omission, which they carry, or the New Planet Pale Ale. Both taste very much like what you'd miss if you're going gluten free. The staff can always point you in the right direction if you don't know what to get, or will recommend something new and exciting, if you're in the mood for adventure. I just tried the Flying Dog Oyster Stout and love it! Great place for big beer fans, but also good for those who have no freaking idea and just want a six pack with their vegan pizza from across the street. You'll find exactly what you need here. read more

If god made a liquor store it might resemble this place. Aisles of Beer, wine, liquor and some snacks to boot. Damn this place is huge and awesome. read more

Cap N' Cork - Beer. And lots of it - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Called in for an item. I drive 20 minutes to get to the place. "Oh We don't have it" Why would you lie to me? I called in for a "Bailey's Strawberry and creme" A rare item right now, so I asked them a couple times to check if they knew what they have. (Which they should) The gist of the phone conversation was this. I- do you have bailey's strawberry and creme? Shop- let me check ---------------------- Shop- yes we do have it I- you have the strawberry and creme? Shop- oh Shop(yelling at the coworker) hey do we have the bailey? The strawberry? And creme? Shop- yes we have it I- okay thank you I'll leave right now! I just wasted me energy and emotion And maybe by lying to me he thought I would just buy the regular baileys I would give no stars if that was possible. read more

I don't really drink, but I give a lot of gifts often and alcohol is a popular choice for most people. However, given my lack of personal experience, it's helpful to get some direction when I'm in a liquor store instead of buying the first thing labeled "tequila." Vahan was SOOOO helpful when it came to helping me select two gifts in my price range. He even wrapped it up nicely. Bonus - if you're buying tequila, he really, really knows his shit. Skip buying at another liquor store or grocery store - this is the real experience. read more

It doesn't look like anything special from the outside, but walk inside and find yourself in well-organized, well-presented beer and wine mecca. But it's not just the presentation that's impressive here; the selection is unlike any other shop that I've found in LA. I recognized a large number of the reds, white, and roses from wineries that I've visited and liked. They are also one of the few shops in LA to carry One Hope Wine (wine for a good cause!) and some other hard to find wines like Dirty and Rowdy. It's like they have a sommelier curating each bottle in the shop (I wouldn't be surprised if they do?!?). They have a lot of locals that shop here, and the shop owner knows each by name. If you aren't lucky enough to be a regular, he will still treat you like a friend. I aspire to be a regular here. read more

This joint is perfect. Wine selection is thoughtful and large but not overwhelming. All the liquors and bottle sizes you'd want. Chill, knowledgeable, professional, helpful staff. Bonus: their own parking lot behind the store. read more

I used to live in the Bay area and I know how hard it can be to come by Pliny the Elder. Given that I came to LA from AZ for a visit I figured I'd try to get a bottle. Sadly that mission was not accomplished. They do carry it and limit it to a bottle a person however - even with all that. They were out. Either way the store is cool, it has a large cold beer selection and lots of craft beers. I just wish they had a bigger selection of single bottles but overall it's a nice store. We grabbed some smog city porters and it was a good night. read more

The best selection of imported beers I've ever seen! I love it ! they have everything you want from a Hefeweizen , IPA, to a stout ! And of course wines and whiskeys ,every kind ,every size every brand you could want. And the staff is always friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely would recommend to my friends. read more

great selection of whiskey that are overpriced. a few deals if you search for them. A few bottles that I wanted to buy but I don't pay over secondary prices read more

I just saw the most F-d up thing happen here. While I was across the street at Cruzer Pizza the woman sitting next to me jumps up out of her seat and runs across the street screaming, "Wait, Wait!" and when I panned over I saw that a tow truck was pulling in and getting ready to load up her car on the truck in the Cap N' Cork parking lot. I sucked the air through my teeth and felt incredibly bad for her. Sure she parked illegally in a liquor store parking lot and jaunted across the street for pizza, but how did they know? How did they manage to get there so fast? The guy at the register at Cruzer runs to her aide, goes with her inside to talk to the owner and some exchange happens between the tow truck and the lady. He puts down her car and she finally walks back into Cruzer, I say to her "Geez that really sucks I'm sorry." Then she tells me the story. She's a regular customer at Cap, she asked them if the pizza place across the street was any good as she was wrapping up the purchase there. They told her, "Yea it's really good," so she decided to order pizza across the street before heading home. The owner then called the tow truck after she walked across the street and had her car towed. She had to pay the tow truck a hundred bucks to let her car down. CAP N' CORK TOWED THEIR OWN PAYING CUSTOMER!!!! WHAT THE HELL? THE LOT WAS EMPTY. So be warned, either don't go there or know that you cannot leave your car there after you patronize the place- even if it's for 10 minutes. F'd. read more

Yup I just saw the same thing that Jessica saw and it was totally messed up. It would have been one thing if the lady hadn't bought products from cap n' cork but the guys at cap n' cork even told her that the pizza spot across the street was good. Cap N' Cork you'll never get a dime of my money. Shame on you for ripping off your own customers! Disgusting! Jessica's post: I just saw the most F-d up thing happen here.

Just stopped in here after eating Pizza at Cruzer's and saw 2 cockroaches and a man's shoe sized rat ALL IN THE SAME VISIT!! To make matters worse, I picked up a snack (before seeing the "friends" running around) that was EXPIRED!! Place just seemed seedy and gross, especially the guy working there (the owner?)...just kept staring at me, creepily...like he might be touching himself behind the counter:( DON'T GO HERE! read more

It is incredibly rare that I'll give a one.star review. And rarer still that I'll let customer service overwhelm the entire review. But I was flabbergasted during my last visit here. I came in to buy some mezcal, and was happy with the selection. I spent over $200, and really needed to pee. They told me to go to the taco shop down the street. I mean, seriously? I understand not letting everyone off the street use the employee restroom. But after spending so much money, this was ridiculous. I was tempted to drop trou, and go in the corner. I'm not giving them any more of my money for damn sure. But the taco shop deserves a community service citation. And their salsa bar looked wonderful. Screw you Cap N' Cork. read more

It's hard to say just how much Cap N' Cork contributes to my general happiness and quality of life. Matt B.'s apartment is within walking distance of this wonderful store, and we've made the walk countless times. Our default weekend night involves a bottle of wine on the couch, and more often than not, we buy that here. The store doesn't look like much from outside. The sign is kind of goofy, and the storefront unstyled. There's a parking lot in back that can get very crowded at peak times. Cap N' Cork isn't fancy, but once you're inside the decor doesn't matter. The selection is fantastic. The wines are arranged in diagonal lines across the spacious store, and they're very well organized and easy to browse. There are always cheaper wines on display towards the entrance, and some of these have proven to be worthy purchases. The prices range pretty widely, but there are a lot of great bottles in the $10-$20 range, which is where we buy most of our wine. We have a few favorites which are usually in stock, but we branch out now and then when something catches our eye. I don't think we've ever taken a bottle home that we didn't like. Maybe we're neanderthals, I don't know. We also get most of our beer here, and we're more willing to splash down for expensive beer, as there is a cap to that. The beer occupies a tall continous refrigerated section that winds around half of the store. The selection is impressive, with interesting six-packs and tall bottles that are perfect for sharing on a leisurely weeknight. The prices are pretty decent, better, if you'll believe it, than the liquor store a block up Hillhurst. The people who run the place are very friendly, and a couple of the guys really know their stuff. I've asked about random bottles and gotten detailed descriptions that held up. This doesn't happen every time, but I don't mind. Cap N' Cork is not quite as full service as a place like K & L, where you go in and a wine encyclopedia walks up and guides you, but the staff is great. Once, I asked one of the guys behind the counter about a bottle and he pointed at Matt and said, "How much do you like him? You'll like this better." That may not have been true, but I will say that if I had to choose between Cap N' Cork disappearing and, say, Matt having a really hideous haircut for a few months, I'd probably go with the latter. I love this place, and it's hard to imagine having to do without it. read more
