Yo! I loves this spot! My boy Terrance at the register is funny AF, always making jokes between playing games on his phone. For a cornah joint, these boys got a pretty bomb-ass selection. I usually cruise in to get some wine for my guuurl or some Henney for me but they also got a dope-ass collection of IPAs and other micro-brews for when my white boy friends wanna get lit chillin' at my crib. One thing that freak me out was the chilled wine cellar. I ain't gonna lie bruh, I rolled up in here one time hella blazed and I guess I was feeling a might paranoid cuz when I walk in the cooler, which has this cool-ass, big wooden cellar door, almost closed tight. Maaaannn... I was scared AF!! I thought fasho you boy was gonna get stuck in this gahdayum thing and freeze to death! But, nah made it out!! Now I make sure that I keep that door wide open. Ain't no way in hell that I'm gonna die in some cooler after all the craziness I done lived through already in my life. I guess, on the plus side, if I did get stuck, I'd at least get super faded on some good as wine before I go! read more

The liquor store at 22nd and Downing, formerly known as Downing Street Liquors, has seriously declined under the new ownership. The store is often not open during its posted hours. The owners randomly open and close whenever they choose, and in the last two weeks I have personally had to call them because delivery trucks were waiting outside for hours while the store was supposed to be open. Inside, the store is cluttered, disorganized, and in my opinion a safety hazard. They rarely stock the store properly, leaving products in boxes so customers have to dig around to find what they need. The store is rarely clean, organized, or welcoming. They have expanded into chips and other food items, but I have seen serious sanitation concerns, including food items that appeared to have been damaged by mice. Customer service is poor. Staff have ignored customers at the register while talking on the phone. I have also seen people asleep in the store, which makes the business feel poorly managed and unsafe. There have also been public arguments and fights involving the owners, both inside the store and outside on the street. Between the disorder, theft concerns, break-ins, arguments, and unsafe conditions, this store has become a danger and burden to the City Park West community. The former owners treated people with respect. They supported the neighborhood, gave birthday gifts to customers, participated in community programs, and were seen by many of us as family. The new owners do not provide that same care, respect, cleanliness, safety, or community support. Many people in City Park West have already stopped shopping there. Those who can go to other liquor stores should consider doing so. Unfortunately, some elderly neighbors and people without transportation do not have that option, and this store is taking advantage of its convenient location while giving little or nothing back to the community. City Park West deserves better. We need businesses that respect the neighborhood, keep clean and safe stores, honor posted hours, treat customers with dignity, and contribute to the community -- not businesses that simply take money out of it. #DenverCodeViolations #DenverFireDepartmentDistrict6 #DenverHealthDepartment #NotInOurCommunity #CityParkWest read more

Worst liquor store I've been to in awhile. Bridgette is incredibly rude and unprofessional; acts like customers are an inconvenience to her every time she has to check someone out. Sorry customers interrupt your drinking and social time; put yet we help pay your bills. Dogs running around smelling like urine and inappropriate music playing loud. Not sure why her man feels like he's co-owner trying to run the place. Coolers and employees never working. When will this place go out of business. read more

Super nice guy and great variety of wine liquor and beer :-) forgot the guys name who was working but he was really nice and hekpful!!

Great local liquor store. I drive past three ghetto liquor stores to support Downing Street. The owner and staff are super nice, and they're really trying to move the place a bit more upscale (the owner knows where the neighborhood is going) by bringing in more wines and microbrews. A bit more expensive than Argonaut but worth investing in a local, responsible business that is catering to the "new" Cole, Whittier, and Capitol hill. Highly recommended. read more

Fairly decent liquor store, most importantly it's within walking distance of my house and the usually have doggie treats. The owners must really be dog lovers as their policy is to give dog treats to anyone who brings in a dog (as I do). Otherwise... it's a liquor store. You get liquor here. It's alot more expensive than the Argonaut but whatevs they have doggie treats! Also a plus is the absolutely sketchy clientele and the fact the kiddie corner to the place is a dedicated sketch pad hang out. So you get some "street life" color to your day while picking up your beerz! Four thumbs up. read more

***Pay attention to the prices and you quickly realize that whatever the posted prices are, they ring up at the register on an average of fifty cents to a dollar more.*** As an experiment, I've selected over 10 different six packs and without fail the price they ring up at the register is not what the advertised price is. They are counting on people not paying attention. While they have a good selection, it's hard to support a business that is willfully dishonest. read more

It's a liquor store. They sell alcohol. Does it need to be more complicated? On the one, hand, it's on kind of a dodgy corner. On the other hand, I live very close to it, so, I guess I live on a dodgy-adjacent corner. It's not more expensive or less expensive than anywhere else. (What is this myth that Argonaut is so cheap? It is not.) For kind of a generic corner store, I'm impressed that they have an email list, an impressive selection of microbrews, the occasional tasting, and some neat architectural features like the walk in wine fridge and the neat ladder shelving behind the counter, which, to be honest, seem so interesting and pretty to be amid stacks of twelve packs beneath fluorescent lights. It's a liquor store. They sell stuff. Stuff that gets you drunk! A-OK! read more

My favorite little hometown liquor store. I live within walking distance to here, so it's really convenient. It's clean, the guys that work there are always nice, and the selection they have is pretty decent (well, their craft beer selection, at least). The best part is they're pet friendly. My pup loves to make the trip! read more

Prices are very reasonable for a small store. Selection is exceptional. The employees are the best!

It's a full-fledge four star liquor store. They have what I would consider a good wine and beer selection which includes a wine cooler. The liquor selection is slightly limited however. It's clean and well run however... always friendly and more reasonably priced than a lot of the liquor stores around here. If you happen to be a person that buys beer, wine, or liqour, I think you will find this store meet your needs and then some. read more

I really like this liquor store. It has a very good selection, reasonable prices and the store itself is neat and clean. I live virtually across the road from another liquor store on Downing, but I drive to Downing Street Liquors to grab a bottle of wine or a six pack of beer. The owner obviously cares about the selection they are providing their customers and it's not all about just selling alcohol, more about selling a great selection of alcohol. read more

Never have gotten good customer service there. Latest example, my card has a chip in it and unfortunately it doesn't scan the best. They can easily type in the number but refused to do so. My girlfriend brought out cash and the lady started helping the person behind us giving us the nastiest stink face. Guess they don't want paying customers money, as a business owner myself, I try my best to make the customers giving me money the easiest thing ever. I would give zero stars but Yelp makes me give at least one. read more

The staff here is consistently friendly, and I've noticed they've worked to expand their selection since I first started shopping here. Good spot! read more

I like this store. It has the feel of one back home. Love that they have a walk in cooler for wine which you can peruse yourself. The staff overall is knowledgeable and friendly. The weekend guy is adorable, too. That helps. LOL. read more
