We recently hosted a bonfire and were shocked when Walmart announced that they were out of firewood. Hilltop Liquor came to the rescue with a batch of affordable firewood and starters. This spot is close to the beach, easy to access, and offers a good amount of parking. Love having a non-chain option in the neighborhood!

Blue Wave Liquor on Beach Blvd feels like one of those places that doesn't need to announce itself…read more You walk in and it's all there--rows of bottles that actually mean something, stacked with the quiet confidence of a shop that knows exactly who it serves. No gimmicks. No sterile corporate vibe. Just the good stuff, and the stuff people actually drink. You look around and you see range--not the fake variety you find in big-box stores, but the kind built from knowing your neighborhood. Whiskey that deserves a slow night. Tequila that reminds you why people celebrate. Beer cold enough to kill the day you just had. A surprising lineup of imports that hints someone here takes pride in finding things worth stocking. And the prices? Fair. Refreshingly fair. Not the kind that make you question your life choices on the walk back to your car. The kind that makes you think, yeah, they get it. Blue Wave Liquor isn't trying to impress you. It's just doing what good shops do: offering a wide selection, treating customers like regular people, and keeping things real. It's the kind of spot you trust without having to say why.

This review is for staff member Michael (I hope I got his name correctly from his name tag; he is from France ). My brother is visiting from another country and wanted to buy a few bottles for his wine club. We know Hi-Time has a great selection. He asked a staff member for a specific wine bottle and he said they didn't have it. They spent a few more minutes talking and the staff member left without any convincing recommendations for my brother. My brother kept looking and then Michael showed up. Not only he found the wine he was looking for initially, but he also made some other great recommendations. The whole interaction was polite, friendly, interesting, and enjoyable. My brother walked out of Hi-Time with a smile. Thank you, Michael!

If you want Clase Azul they have it, Jinro Soju no sugar, that's in the imported lane, you like Lebron Hennessy, then you gotta press a button to grab a VSOP bottle. The point of this is that they got all the alc you can desire. Basically a candy shop for responsible adults, alright. There be times when I get that Caymus wine bottle too, but they recommend usually something else and cheaper, but I'm okay, thank you though boss. The other day I bought two tequila bottles for my friend's birthday coming up this weekend. If you have a membership, they always give away cool coupons that you can use. Some stuff like $5 or buy three alc and get one free. I like coming here than liquor stores. It's clean and the service here is super friendly. Never a bad time here. Sometimes I'll be here for like an hour from just browsing all the different flavors lol. Come through people!

I had…read moresearched the internet, and google said that I could find a ready-to-drink bottle by Cinzano at this store. The parking was easy and it was not crowded on a Sunday afternoon. We were greeted immediately by a friendly man with a headset. I requested the object of my search and he lead us into the depths of the cleanest most well-stocked liquor store I have ever imagined. He was apologetic when they did not stock the Negroni, but luckily they did have all of the ingredients. I located the Campari, they had an amazing selection of gin, and the sweet vermouth was a great price! Needless to say, I had a lovely afternoon. Total wine and more is the place to go for selections, price and service.

There are so many booths that if I come back again, I definitely want to make more time to try and go through all of them lol. One thing I loved was that if you stand near the Roasted Loaded Potato and Baby Mini Donuts booths, you get such a good view of the HB pier and the ocean! And bonus points if it's during golden hour! What a sight!! Food-wise, my friend and I ended up getting a Roasted Loaded Potato with cheese and bacon bits. We forgot to add seasoning (whoops ), but the bacon bits definitely added great flavor! We also ordered a Carne Asada Burrito from one of the taco stands, and it was so nice that they were able to customize it and cut it in half so we could share. The meat was super juicy and the cheese had that perfect "stretchy pull" when you try to take a bite lol. So much flavor!! As for samples, I got to try the Cinnamon Explosion from the Baby Mini Donuts booth and it was phenomenal!! There was also a Coconut Water booth where I sampled their Coconut Coffee, an interesting combo, but honestly something I'd come back and try again at full size despite not being a big coconut person. Lastly, I tried the Cucumber Pineapple refresher from a fruit drinks booth and even at sample size it was so refreshing! Overall, l'd definitely come back!

I stopped by at 1:45 to a closed up shop and was told by the owner who was mopping that they actually close at 1:45. (even though they clearlyyyy closed much earlier than that since the owner was already mopping a dark shop with a locked door when I arrived right at 1:45). Okay?! Well, why list that you close at 2 then? Why did I drive to this particular shop based on your own Google listing with your hours clearly stated, only to be turned away 15 minutes early? Do NOT count on this place when you're in a pinch. Furthermore, the prices are sky high compared to other shops on Adams and Brookhurst. Judging from the review score, it appears I'm not the only one who has had a terrible experience here. Take your business elsewhere, there's a business on Main St. in HB that ACTUALLY stays open when their hours state they are open ... what a concept!
