I was perplexed and made some comment when my ONE Cutwater drink rang in at $6.50, the man up front in the pink shirt even said, "Very expensive my friend." Talk about a truth bomb. Like a Steven Segal punch, what do you do with that? No defense when the store unapologetically calls it as it is. Location, convenience and cleanliness come with a premium price.

The store is very dark, dusty, and not very welcoming. The staff member present continuously worked at the counter, not looking up and did not offer assistance.

He suggested Carmen Reserva Frida Kahlo Cabernet Sauvignon Chile 2023 & Organic Arbol De Vida Malbec Argentina 2024. The cabernet had a 91 rating from the Tasting Panel, but the malbec didn't have a rating, as it was a new item. Seeing how it's made with organic grapes, and malbecs are usually good bottles of wine, I chose the Organic Arbol De Vida Malbec Argentina 2024. Organic Arbol De Vida Malbec Argentina 2024- Lovely bottle of wine. Each sip had berries & plum, plus the pucker from expressive tannins. I'm not a wine connoisseur, but I found this particular malbec approachable and non-offensive. However, I'd choose a bottle of bourbon or sake, any day of the week. 1 cent for a bottle of wine? That's cheaper than Boone's Farm! Total Wine wanted to get me nice & toasty on the cheap for my birthday, treating me like a cheap date. And, my response to that - you woulda had me in the sack in no time ;p One of the best of my birthday promos, I look forward to next year to see which new wine strikes my fancy.

In regards to the accusations made and the comments that were posted on Yelp by Sarah K and Ana E, I think that Yelp should have screamed their reviews before posting them. As a business owner myself I think that Yelp needs to regulate what is put on their reviews. it's unfair that people can slander and TRASH a business when there's no proof. I am a neighbor of the liquor store The owner should not have had to take the blame from what happened with the clerk. I also was given the privilege of reviewing the surveillance tape along with other neighbors and all of us agreed that we were unable to verify the young lady's accusations. I think justice should be served and when investigated hopefully the appropriate thing will happen. read more

The fat short older man is a thief. He should not be running a business and should be put in jail. I went in to purchase a tall can and was told I was going to be charged an extra dollar since I'm using American Express. He swipes my card and tells me there is no money on it, I had just deposited my money. I had a few dollars left for a beer. I could not take the beer and left the store. I called American Express and they clearly told me I was charged for it. Fortunately, American Express is a good bank, unlike this distasteful business. I recommend no one ever coming here, unless you want to be robbed for your money. read more

I was overcharged today for a bottle and unfortunately I was in a rush and didn't realize it until I got home. I was originally told the bottle was $17, but I was charged $20. I wasn't given a receipt, and the cashier never rang the item up he just said "that will be $20 dollars" and didn't allow me to see the tax added because he never put it in the register. He simply took my money and pretty much scammed me. When I got home, I checked California sales tax and how much the bottle is online. I KNEW that was too high, I realized that $17 plus tax should not have come out to $20. I also later found the same size bottle online for around $11, so the prices at Around the Corner Liquor are very high or he just made up what he wanted to charge me. I don't drink often, so I don't normally keep up with alcohol prices, and I feel like I was taken advantage of especially because he could clearly see that I was in a hurry. If you shop at Around the Corner Liquor, make sure your items are actually rung up, that you can see the price of each item, and that you receive a receipt so you can verify exactly what you're being charged. Being told one price and then charged another without an explanation is bad business. Shame on you!

I felt welcomed and treated with kindness and gratitude. During my second visit, I encountered who I believe was their granddaughter.
