I always make it a point to stop by George's Market when nearby! The owner is so sweet, and it makes my day to pet Dog :') Such a welcoming establishment, with everything you'd ever need! read more

After I eat Chinese food at Shanghai Dumpling King, I often stop a few doors down next to Churchill Bar at George's Market to pick up a pint of ice cream. To be honest, the real STAR of the joint is DOG the gray cat. She hangs out by the cooler's warm external ventilation grate in a circular plush bed sleeping happily most all the time. I am really a dog person and grew up in the Midwest with family cats so I like to ask the clerk and then the cat if it's alright to interact with the feline. Extending a passive hand and allowing Dog to smell you at her own pace most always results in me petting and gently scratching the cat and loving the purrs and sweet attention she gives back to me. The clerk I talk to is cool and fun and a good person. The sign for George's Market is also old-timey neon and I dig the whole scene a couple minutes and go home with my ice cream :) read more

Leaving a review just because the owner has a kitty in the store walking around!! Super cute and chill cat. The owner was friendly and the market was conveniently located near me. read more

Came in to get a quick drink, and saw George's famous feline at the door to greet me! Love the hours here, and the goodies!

My kids and I love coming to this store so much that my daughters "what's in my neighborhood" project she re-created Georges Market. Coming and being greeted right off the bat by the store cat name "dog" according to the store owner. My apologies if I got her name incorrect. read more

George’s Market - Look @ Dogs fierce look - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - San Francisco, California

This place has everything a person could want at midnight on a slightly wild Wednesday. * Takis! Jiffy Pop! Every variety of Pepperidge Farm cookie! A highly international candy selection! * A genuinely impressive and wide-ranging variety of liquor for such a small place! (Seriously, you can get everything from Chartreuse to Midori here, it's inspiring.) * A well-mannered and snuggly bodega cat! * A kind and helpful proprietor! * A scale model of a 1957 Chevy Bel-Air! Okay, that last one wasn't so useful, but it was pretty nifty to see. This is a great store overall - clean, well-organized, and extremely well stocked. read more

I mainly go here to buy booze because it's right across the street from the bus (37 Line) that takes me straight home after (a): a full meal at Warakubune; (b): boozing at The Residence; (c): boozing at Blackbird; (d): connecting from the 22 Line to get home because the 33 was all messed up. That's four reasons to go there. Oh, I also have gone there for Half-N-Half, tequila, and beer, not necessarily at the same time. Sure, one of the clerks I used to see a few times a week for a few years accused me of shoplifting, but I don't blame him. He apparently noticed me reaching into my coat pocket, which seemed to trigger some sort of automatic response, but I get it. On that corner any store clerk is bound to have an itchy trigger finger. No bigs. On that note, every clerk there has always been super nice to me. They have a pretty nice tequila selection; a nice, cheap wine wall; and some fine chilled selections (white wine, champagne, prosecco, etc.), and their prices are acceptable, unlike that place a block away (Church Street Groceteria). I'm pretty sure I've bought more cheap wine (~$10) at this place than any other in the city. read more

The music that always blares out of this cool little liquor store makes waiting half an hour for the 37 bus almost fun. Excellent liquor selection, and amazingly friendly guys. Also, they have a non-bank ATM that you'll definitely end up using if you're hanging out at Amber or the Transfer. read more

I'm proud to call George's my local corner market. Although the candy selection is not superb the guys who work there are friendly and fun. The location is convenient and seem to able to condense every possible item you might need into that small store. My favorite thing about this place is the secret "baby bottles" of good tequila hiding behind the counter and the free limes they give me with a purchase of Mexican beer. Trivia: "George" does not actually exist. read more

Great tequilas and wine section. Geoarge behind the counter (big guy + pony tail) is the coolest guy. Always great and funny, makes grabbing snacks and drinks alot more pleasant. Also has the largest selection of liquors across any store in the castro. over 15 different tequilas, 20 different vodkas. I would say a way larger selection than Safeway across the street. read more

I go out of my way to purchase my liquor from George's Market in the Castro. They always have what I need at the best prices I can find. The owner always keeps some really cool special edition liquors in there (like the Absolut SF) that I can't find anywhere else. Cruise by the market next time you're in the Castro and you won't be disappointed! read more

I have to say this liquor store has all your convenience needs from snacks, beer, wine, liquor, milk, soft drinks, ice cream, Tobacco products, and the list goes on and on for days, the owner FoFo has great customer service and he's hella cool I always chop it up with him and I learn new things from him all the time, everything is always fresh and they keep everything in stock, this is the store to go to if your in the neighborhood read more

They are like family. I have lived on this block a long time and they always treat you like family. Always a pleasure to support this business. Lovely people! Lovely service! Thank you for being there for us! We love you! read more

As far as the merchandise is concerned, it's limited and pricey, no different from hundreds of similar Mom-and-Pop markets scattered throughout the city. But the men who work here seem genuinely pleased to have your business, even if it's nothing more than a can of Diet Coke and a lottery ticket. If I ever hit the jackpot, I hope I will have invested my $1 here, because no one is more deserving of a percentage of the win than these very friendly guys. read more

Why is he closed at odd hours? 11:45 on a weds and door is locked. Last time I ce door was also locked and I knocked and someone let me in. I'm going to start going to AandZ up the street cause it's not worth the walk here. read more

Gotta love a liquor store that has a cat on duty!

I love the guys who run this place! They're personable, friendly and the music rocks (you haven't lived 'til you've heard an arabic cover of Abba). They even warn you about the obscene fee the POS machine charges for cash back. It's conveniently located near Amber for all your cigarette and bar snack needs. Feel free to wander in there after you've had a few, these guys will definitely take care of you. read more

I'm glad I live down the street from this liquor store! I like the selection of beer and it's cheaper than other liquor stores in my area. Plus, we had just ordered Thai food and had tried a new Thai beer called Chang at the restaurant. We wanted more, but were sure we wouldn't be able to find it. We walked into George's and sure enough, there it was!!! How cool is that! I've never seen that beer anywhere! read more

Great variety of booze love the service. Cheapskates wanna complain about paying more at a convenience store--it's a convenience store dammit! I don't go to Payless and expect the salesperson to fit my foot in a shoe like Al Bundy! read more

friendly staff and owner, this plce has everything you want from safeway without the long lines. they even have a bench for you to sit on if you're waiting for the bus. read more

nice people! they have a pretty good variety of products including vanilla coke!

this place is probably my favorite corner store i've found in the city and one of the best anywhere i've lived. real hometown, friendly vibe and a solid staff that always makes you feel welcome. great and unique selection of a great variety of items, including many things that are hard to find elsewhere, and excellent prices for a small mom and pop joint as well. even if my family and i end up moving to another part of SF outside of the castro at some point, i can still see myself finding reasons to come back here. it just feels like home. read more

Im going to get stright to the point. I love this place! Not only do they have a very wide variety of unique whine & liquors, this is one of the cleanest & well maintainded stores I have ever been to. I dont have to worry about panhandlers begging for money in front like most liquor stores in san francisco. George is a supper nice guy and i always go out of my way to go to George's Market. I highly recomend this place for anyone, and I promiss you wont be disapointed! read more
