I was in the area and spotted the Lottery sign and decided to pull over and get our office pool Lottery tickets from this store. Luckily there was an empty parking space right in front. The cashier was friendly and quickly took care of the ticket transactions. I also bought a bottled Pepsi soda which was kind of cold but wish that it would've been colder. read more

Hillhurst Liquor - The gambler APR2026 - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This is a landmark place and they have been there through earthquakes and pandemics! they have always had great selections of wine, and service with a smile from everyone! read more

Owner and employees do not and have not worn masks since the pandemic began. Caters to local homeless population that also has alcohol use issues while also belittling them in front of others. Wine kept warm and frequently tastes off. Learned all this because they are very convenient, but this place needs better management. read more

AVOID!! As a female, I had the most scary experience at this location. The cops were involved. There's a parking lot next to the store that clearly says for coffee store, tacos, and liquor. I went to get coffee first and the owner (older middle-eastern man) started screaming and yelling in my face. I decided not to go in the liquor store because of that. I went to grab my car and the owner BLOCKED and cornered me in the back and wouldn't let me leave. He was screaming and laughing at me. I didn't know what he was going to do to me, so the police came. I felt threatened and highly suggest avoiding this store! read more

I lived like two blocks aways from Hillhurst Liquor for four years, and somehow managed not to Yelp the place despite going in a handful of times. I guess it just felt kind of invisible to me, the nondescript liquor store around the corner. It probably says more about us than Hillhurst Liquor that we would drive to Cap N' Cork or Lou's or Barkeeper more often than we would walk over to buy our booze here. The shop doesn't have a lot of character, but it does have a decent selection of beer and liquor, and service is fast and polite. We've come in to buy six-packs when convenience was key. They also sell lotto tickets. I came in once with my brother and his girlfriend when they were trying to score in a particularly large Powerball. Now that I don't have a liquor store I can hit on foot in two minutes, I feel like I underutilized this place. Here's my belated Yelp review, Hillhurst Liquor. I'm sorry I took you for granted. read more

The owner/manager of this store was wearing a mask that only covered his mouth, not his nose. When I asked him to pull it up, he said he felt safe. I said it's not for his safety, it's for me and his other customers. He just shrugged and refused. Since this business doesn't respect Covid safety protocols and protect the health of its customers, I won't be shopping there again and I recommend nobody else does until they start taking the coronavirus seriously. read more

I've been coming here for almost a decade and I don't know why I didn't leave a review sooner. These guys are great. Fantastic local neighborhood spot with excellent customer service and beer, liquor selection. If I could give more stars I definitely would! read more

Kami is the mayor of Los Feliz! Good craft beer, high end whiskey and a big bag of ice! He's got whatever you need! Yucka's for a Taco and Hillhurst Liquor for the side car soda, amazing! Thank you Kami! read more

This place is the last of Mom and pop liquor stores. I have known the management here for years. It is ironic that these comments about racism have been posted. They are not true at all. As the area has gotten more crowded, people have parked cars in the parking lot illegally and when told to leave or had their cars towed, they lashed back with untrue lies and negative reviews. This is a friendly family owned bussiness , known by and loved by the locals who are very loyal to it because of the customer service, courtesy and friendliness of the staff . It has been around for decades with a great wine selection and good prices. It survived the pandemic and catered to the community by offering free deliveries and at times free toilet paper! I should know cuz I got some from them! Highly recommend visiting and supporting a mom and pop shop. Kami will treat you like family as he does everyone. read more

They will card you for buying their kombucha here. I am dead serious. I'm 23 years old and they just carded me in the middle of the day... Apparently I'd "be surprised" about the alcohol content in kombucha. Well I'm not surprised. I am surprised that it is apparently their policy to turn away what little business they have. Does anything else need to be said? I had my ID with me, but I refused to participate in something so ridiculous, so I went to the Albertsons right across the street. I'd recommend anyone reading to do the same and skip the crazy. read more

I am Norm and Hillhurst Liquor is my "Cheers". These guys know me so well by now, its kinda ridiculous probably because I am in there twice a week for some smokes, a few airplane bottles of bourbon and a tall Stella. And of course a lotto ticket when the number peeks over a 100 million. The guys that run this place are super cool. Once I left my wallet at home and they just wrote my name and the sum of my bill down and I drove by the next day to pay. They actually have some pretty high end bottles of booze for sale and they have a good wine selection if you are partial to grapes. Its my go to place to hit on my way home from work when I want a drink but I don't want to sit in a noisy bar. Everybody should have their favorite liquor store. This one is mine. read more

Horrible customer service and overpriced alcohol. It's also dirty inside. Never go here.

This is the best place to learn about the wine you like. The owner is very knowledgeable and can recommend wines that suits your need. The friendly environment makes me feel at home. One of the places that I would recommend good quality liquor and reasonably priced. Keep the good job up! AK read more

Super nice service and selection of wines. I have been going there since my 21st bday.

This place has an exceptional selection. I had friends in town two weeks ago visiting, and they had some pretty unique wine and spirits requests. While in the area for tacos, we stopped in Hillhurt Liquors, and the store had everything my friends were looking for. If you're into fine spirits or mixology, you'll be able to fill out most recipes with the stock they have here! read more

Standard liqour store. Didn't have the greatest selection but the people working here were very friendly. Come through if you just need to grab anything to appease the masses or your addiction. read more

Friendly and fast service, great selection of beer, wine and liquor, also has many grocery store items. Delivery is available - for free - which is especially helpful now. There is a parking lot! Also Yuca's for delicious fast food is located in the parking lot. Hillhurst Liquor is a Los Feliz five star plus for this community. read more

Yeah, we could drive a little further to Cap'n Cork but for some reason, one of my roomies and I have ended up here on countless nights, bought the overpriced ingredients for Irish Car Bombs, and headed home to do these suckers right. read more

Dude behind the counter doesn't suck. What else do you need in your neighborhood liquor store?

The Best store on Hillhurst. Kamy , is as dapper dressed gentlemen. Have been enjoying his store for 15 year's. Always good laughs an his great employee's , Omar Sharif an the fairly recent, dreamy young man. they all go above an beyond to either find what you need or just make you smile. Hard to find neighborhood stores that stay so cool.. Was dismayed to read Ariel's very dis gruntled review.. Perhaps she should seek out ObmaCare quickly. Look into some mental health support or anger management. If you truly want the Los Feliz experience , stop in this store an enjoy some heartfelt laughs.. Thank you Kamy , you are truly a dashing handsome addition to Los Feliz... Janey X read more

good old liquor store exactly what you should have at a liquor store!love this placei always get my cigarettes from here

Great Wine selection, the hard Liquor stuff is not bad neither, they even have the moonshine :) that's good if you run out of gas in your car, just add the moonshine :)) Its nice and clean and the service is great. read more

This liquor store is one of 3 other liquor stores on the block of Hillhurst. The reason I always go to this spot is because it's service and hospitality is exceptional. I love the fact that the owner is always there and he's really cool. They have everything you need from snacks to wines which they have a huge selection to liquor and spirits. They have it all. The other two liquor stores and way more over priced so don't go there. Make your stop here. O, and did I mention that yuccas is right next door. That pretty much says it all. Come by and get your party drinks and stuff here when you get a chance. Prices are more than fair and you'll see there is a certain charm about the store. It's been there forever. Try it out ladies and gents. Get you self some liquor and spirits. read more

Really nice people! good parking not the best beer selection in the neighborhood but they make up for it by being really nice!

Your standard overpriced corner liquor store. Comes in handy when you need a coke while waiting for your food at Yuca's. But its not cheap, and the selection while pretty standard for a junior market is not overwhelming. Has Liquor, cigars, porn magazines, and a some cookies and crackers, everything you need for a solid night at home. read more

Good liquor store to find what you need for a party or snacks. They have a parking lot which is nice and convenient.

Great guys... Kamy, the owner is always cool... My buddy Stephen and I come here often, and they always take care of us, are nice, and have great prices. Great neighborhood joint if you want to avoid the big chains etc... read more

Friday nights just make my night when I go by here. The guy behind the counter is about as cool and funny as they get and the prices are really good. Great location and parking. Great alcohol selection and everything else you need for your weekend essentials. read more

one of the gentlemen who works here was very confrontational with me regarding my parking in the shared parking lot. used expletives. threatened to tow my car if i stayed at Yuka's over an hour. strange and slightly unhinged behavior. can't say much about the actual store, but the employee (manager?) was extremely provocative with me. read more

This has been a staple for many of the drunken months I have resided in Los Feliz. No, its not cheap, and Captain Cork has a much better beer and wine selection. Why am I giving this place 5 stars? Well, mainly because it has the elixir of the devil, otherwise known as Cacaca, or Brazillian Rum. I have not seen it in too many other liquor stores- and its even more convenient that I could find it walking distance from my place. My roommate is south American and spent a year in Brazil, and introduced me to this wonderful elixir- for those of you not in the know....Caipirinhas are made from this. A heavenly blend of limes, sugar, and Brazilian rum which have resulted in many mishaps and scandals during my time in this apartment. Shortly after we moved in, we came up with the brilliant idea to have a caipirinha party as sort of a housewarming at the apartment. Only problem was....there were a total of three of us at said party. A pitcher of caipirinhas and a bottle of wine later....I was spreadeagled and passed out on the floor, my roommate sprained her ankle badly after falling in the sauna, and our friend Phil got in an altercation with the security guard in our building. To top it off, my roommates mom stopped by to drop off some stuff, and was horrified and worried about her daughters current choice of living arrangement and roommate. All I can say is a big hearty THANK YOU to Hillhurst liquors for many similar incidents and blackouts during my time in this wonderful 'hood! read more

Lucky to have this great neighborhood gem close by. I feel it is a lost art to have a store where the owner knows the neighbors, is friendly, looks out for everyone. He keeps his wine well stocked with variety and fair prices. And he gives dogs treats. How can you go wrong? read more

Hillhurst Liquor is a Los Feliz little gem... a neighborhood store offering a good selection of wines and liquor in general, friendly and courteous staff. Kamy is so funny. It is refreshing to go to a store where the owner knows you. Indeed not many places around like it. Keep up the good work!!!! read more

This store uses confusion over the Ca Lottery to prey on the elderly not interceeding when tickets are filled out improperly, or the patron is not clear on the rules. My father used to go here once a week and put $20 on the lottery. We were unaware that he was confused about the process and ended up only buying 1 draw, but the store happily took his $20 week after week. We are long time residents of the area, and have shopped here 30 or more years. They have lost our business and our friends business. Up the street to Liquor Mart, or better yet (hard liquor and wine) go to Top Hat liquor on San Fernando. read more

My go to place for liquor when hanging out in Los Feliz. Their hard-A selection is pretty good and the guy at the counter is always friendly. read more

Extremely friendly, warm, and knowledgable crew. The owner, Kamy, is always welcoming and knowledgable and will help you with your wine selection when needed. He has been there over 20 years and is a local staple in the Los Feliz community.....nice warm atmosphere and great selection, plus its right next to Yuccas and sells hard to find Mexican sodas and other rare beverages. read more

IMO overpriced, mediocre selection. Taking my business elsewhere. I much prefer Los Feliz liquor and their employees are friendlier too.

Kami the owner is known throughout the land of Los Feliz. Great great great wine selection. Love these guys.
