Great liquor store in the area. Friendly staff. Found a great sampling of snow capped ciders. They were hiding around the corner in a fridge. Fun selection of airplane sizes by the register. Love sample sizes! Nicely laid out with plenty of room for a shopping cart. read more

City Liquor personnel was the rudest retail person I've ever dealt with. There are plenty of other liquor stores in Breckenridge and would recommend any establishment other than City Liquor!! read more

If you're staying in/around Breckenridge, City Liquors is pretty much the only game in town when it comes to good beer/liquor selection at decent prices. Had it not been for the creepers working here staring me up and down like I was a second rate citizen, I'd have probably rated them higher. My friend and I came here and picked out a 750ml Smirnoff for $14 and a 750ml flavored Bacardi rum for $16, but when it came time to pay, not only did they make me remove my ID from my wallet, but they damn near snapped it in half while "inspecting" it. From experience checking IDs while bartending, there are plenty of state IDs that look like the library cards my high school gave out like ten years ago. That being said, I'm 29 with an enhanced NYS ID....not only does the thing have an RF chip and a land/cruise passport baked into it, but my damn ID has a friggin' hologram running horizontally across it. That didn't stop this nut job from checking it for a good 20 seconds before completing the transaction. I sarcastically asked him if it was the first time he's seen this kind of NYS ID, and he snapped back that he's seen plenty of them. He practically folded the thing in half to "ensure its authenticity" ...had it snapped regardless, I'd have a tough time explaining that to TSA and boarding my flight out of Colorado....jeez! For what they do - selling liquor and beer - they do it well. I guess a lot of underage kids must come in here, so be prepared with everything short of a DNA sample when it comes time to actually buy something... read more

Customer service is literally appalling. I went in with my boyfriend to buy 4 cases of wine for a dinner event, so a pretty large order. When I go up to pay, they ask for my boyfriends ID too, completely normal. He said he forgot his wallet in the car so he runs out to get it, I apologize and say he'll just be a second. Then the guy behind the cash wrap says don't even bother. Why don't you go try a gas station and not bring your boyfriend. Seriously? So rude and so uncalled for. Will definitely be taking my order elsewhere. read more

Staff was extremely rude and unhelpful. When I checked out, the cashier tried to confiscate my Oklahoma id because, "your id is a really bad fake." After offering to call the police, he had another look at it for about 10 minutes under the counter. Zero apologies other than, "I'm just doing my job." He continued to act hostile as if I was inconveniencing him. They also forgot to give me my receipt. When I called the store asking for the total over the phone, the same employee said "No way I'm giving you your receipt over the phone." Had to call back two more times. Go to different local liquor store with actual customer service. read more

Took my real I.D. from California. This place needs to be shut down. Worker took my ID to the back and disappeared with it.

These guys are on an insane power trip not serving people bc they accidentally walk into their wide open walk-in fridge that they have a 3 millimeter employees only sign over. imagine berating a customer in your store that is only interested in giving you money. after going to the register this dingus insisted on checking my id after his coworker had given it back to me and then proceeded to act like it was the first out of state id he'd seen in his entire life. sorry bro i don't carry additional forms of identification other than my state issued drivers license. after doing his own research and not being able to come to the conclusion that my id was real he decided not to serve me. congrats bro you got me, i was thinking bout you for the whole 2 min walk to the city market grocery store that had better selection and cheaper prices. biggest clowns in breck read more

I'm not one to leave reviews but I was honestly appalled by the lack of customer service. If you have a question be ready to be answered sarcastically. read more

We needed to stock up on supplies for our time in Breckinridge so this place was convenient and easy to get to. They are also open late and were very helpful. Also open all year except for Christmas Day. read more

City Liquors - Supplies for the weekend - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Breckenridge, Colorado

My daughter is having a rehearsal party so I called city liquors. I asked if they have kegs of beer. He said yes, it had to be special ordered. Then I told him how many people we were having and asked how much he suggested I get. His answer was " I don't know how much you should get. So I asked him how many beers in a keg or half keg. His answer to that was google it. Terrible customer service read more

This is probably the most unprofessional liquor store ever. Claimed my Passport was fake when I tried to buy alcohol and didn't even have a reason to back it up. So will never be buying alcohol from there again!! read more

Absolutely terrible. If I could give this place zero stars, I would. I came here from California expecting to be welcomed here. The selection is disappointing. But the most disappointing thing was when the guy at the register flat out yelled at me then told me to get the f*ck out of the store. Avoid this place at all cost if you want to be treated like a customer. Get it together man. read more

I'm not sure why others were so down on this place. They were helpful and had great customer service. May be off the beaten path but worth the stop. read more

This liquor store is terrible. I've been there 3 times. The service is okay. Selection is fine. My issue is with the manager - owner. She always has a smart answer when asked a question. The last time I was there. She was verbally abusive about the guy who was bringing there liquor in the store. Just a bad vibe all around. I won't be back. read more

We stopped in a couple times while in Breckenridge for a family vacation. The beer selection was very well stocked with a lot of craft choices and included bombers of nicer stuff as well. The wine selection was broad and didn't really seem to be intuitively organized. As for my staff interaction, I talked with the cashier briefly about the brewery of the beer that I picked up. For a tourist/resort town I felt like the prices were what I expected. I'll be happy to return again. read more

I'm honestly surprised at some of the reviews. I've been going here for some time now and the staff has always been friendly to me. The selection is pretty good and the prices are the best in the breck area. I mostly go for the low prices on whiskey, but the beer selection is pretty good as well as the wine selection. As long as I have a summer/winter place to stay in Breck, I'll be coming back. read more

The older lady that was tall and had grey hair was very rude about everything, she made me feel like an asshole because I asked a question, I'll be back if I don't see her behind the counter read more

4 stars for the selection, 1 for the bitchy cashier. Went 2xs in a week (big group, on vacation, dont judge) and both times we ended up with the same female cashier who acted like checking us out was a hassle and was just generally rude. Interesting way to treat customers who dropped over $400 in your store in less than 7 days. If you go, have someone other than her check you out. read more

Me & my boyfriend went in here & we're going to buy alcohol we asked the cashier where other liquor stores were and the guy mocked us. We asked a few more questions and he continued to be rude. We left the items we were going to buy on the counter & walked out he pretty much laughed in our face. I would rather drive 20 minutes further for better customer service. Absolutely blown away about how rude he was. read more

I stopped by to grab a couple of items for our stay. The staff was flat out rude to the customer before me and then to me. My husband pulled up to pick me up and an employee ran out and yelled at him in front of all our kids. In addition to that, I thought the wine selection was sub par. This place will not get my business again. Get your employees under control and teach them a bit of customer service. read more

The moment I walked in I felt like I was being interrogated. One of the employees was very rude to me and my friend. On top of that, very overpriced even for breck. read more

Convenient location, but the horrible employees make it not worth visiting. They were extremely rude and tried to take my real ID, while threatening to call the police. Would not recommend this store to anyone. read more

So excited to get to Breckenridge to start our vacation- made a run to Kroger and met some nice people. Asked where the nearest liquor store was and he said right down the way. I have never been to a business where an employee was allowed to be as rude as the young man checking people out. The other employees were embarrassed by his foul mouth and rude behavior. Need to get your employees under control. read more

After reading some review, I was skeptical about coming. I went anyways and experienced no issues. This is a well stocked location with a great selection. Given, it is a bit pricey compared to Denver and big cities, but you have to expect a little more in the mountains and resort towns. read more

The general outlook of the staff is overwhelmed. It appears that the store has outgrown the location. A captive audience concept, and a lack of staff has left the obviously capable employees almost bound and gagged. The lack of customer service and attention should be addressed. This could bring this store to the next level of excellence in the most visited ski resort in the nation. Just too busy. I will not be coming back. Great selection of beer and decent wine just too busy to get any customer service. read more

Never been more disappointed as a customer in any type of environment. He called my African American friend the N word and refused to sell, even with a legitimate ID. As a tourist this really changed my outlook on the city and my over priced trip. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY read more

Employee was extremely rude to me. I would not recommend spending your money to be treated like crap.

Visiting from Dallas & was very pleased with the beer selection. They have a very nice selection of bombers & we walked out with some nice bottles. Great service - I asked for an Avery Uncle Jacob's Stout which is pretty hard to get in Dallas. They were out, but offered me a Rumpkin & MomiHiwa. Very nice gesture. read more

The clerk at this store treated us more rudely than any clerk has ever treated us anywhere at anytime. He was surly from the moment my wife came to the register to buy two bottles of wine. After I went to get the car and pick her up at the curb, he came running out to tell us if we ever parked in front of the store again he would never sell wine to us again. First of all, I didn't park. I only stopped long enough for her to get in the car. Secondly, it is not his place to yell at customers outside of the store. I have been a regular customer at this store for several years, but no more. read more

Extremely rude staff. Purchased beer a few times here without issue. Cashier wouldn't accept and attempted to confiscate my legitimate NJ drivers license (I'm 25) and told me to "get out of his store". He refused to consult other staff or an id book and repeatedly told me to get out and go to another liquor store. read more

High Prices & Horrible Service.

can't speak to the staff's demeanor, all I know is I paid a ton more at a local Frisco liquor store. Walked into City Liquors to see if I had gotten ripped off or if prices were just higher in Colorado.. Turns out City Liquors was very reasonably priced based on my experiences in NC as well as compared to the Frisco place. So I give them 5 stars for being almost a monopoly in Breck but still having decent prices. read more

It looks as one reviewer works for Yelp. Apparently this makes him high and mighty. I see from his bar tending days that it was a DEAD bar. In a resort community there are far more transient young people than any college town. If you bring your NYS attitude into a store like this, expect a defensive stance. I guess he isn't aware that accepting a fake ID is a $1K fine to the employee, not the store. He should be flattered and curious, not offended that his ID needs to be checked. I would think he was being a sketchy sort and thus got this treatment. Poke a beehive, get the bees. This store does not deserve his rating. As indicated very good prices and selection. Staff might need some work, but if they card like nazi's... good on em. Saves the store a 35k fine and a post in various industry mags. Be objective! Beer selection is over the top. Super convenient next to the market. And I do agree the prices are good for a mom and pop, opposed to a big box where size matters. read more
