No not at all I work at the skilled facility up the street I took one of my patients there she bought an ice cream that was already melted and frozen like a chunk of ice she returned today because she is only allowed to go with someone today February 26 11:30am and man who works there very rude told her you bought that on Tuesday I'm not giving you your money back she didn't even ask for her money she wanted to just exchange and let the store now they're selling melted merchandise very poor co customer service don't go there read more

This whole quarantine has got me checking out new businesses in my city that I typically probably wouldn't try out, but one hobby that my fiancè and I recently got into has been trying out different craft beers. I've seen and heard about this place in the past and finally decided to give this place a try. My first impression when walking in was how big this place was. They've got all types of spirits (hence the name I guess), and most things are properly labeled with price points. Our main point of visiting this place though was to check out their craft beer selection, which they had a freezerful collection of it. I'm personally knocking down a star because the bottles on the shelves definitely could've used a little more dusting. We had to dust off our bottles that were from the shelves when we got home. Also, take note that their price points are a little bit higher than your average liquor store. read more

House of Spirits - Whiskey section - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Monrovia, California

So I pulled a pack of beer from the freezer and price tag said $8, but the cashier rang me up for $13???? Normally I'd let this go because covid, yada yada yada, but when I paid I noticed the beer wasn't even cold! The cashier said the fans weren't working. After all this I can no longer in good faith support house of spirits. read more

Everyone there is rad.....besides one dude that makes you feel very uncomfortable. CREEP......would be the first word that comes to mind. He is always making inappropriate comments. Every single time I go in and he is there, I feel like turning around and leaving immediately. Ladies steer clear. read more

Always drop by House of Spirits and finally wanted some craft beer and decided to stop by. Big private parking lot. Friendly service. I was expecting them to be like Craft Kings and they are very similar. Difference, they have a lot of liquor and wine. Only drawback here is the pricing. Everything is 50-60% more expensive here compared to Craft Kings and even BevMo. Very disappointed! read more

This is an awesome liquor store they have everything under the sun the people that work there are very friendly they're open until 11 PM it's a very nice neighborhood liquor store don't believe the other reviews read more

WARNING TRUMP SUPPORTERS. I appreciate how close you are to me, but have had a few interactions here that have been off putting.. especially the last. Not sure what his name is but in multiple occasions I've been rushed to decide what I'm buying because said employee wants to rush to a near by retailer to order food/drinks before they close. The interactions felt forced and uncomfortable. Tonight's visit I walked in with a trump rally blaring through the store... regardless of your political views, it felt wildly inappropriate.... do better, won't be returning. read more

Pros - The guy behind the counter was helpful.  Cons - The amount of craft beer here is very limited. Went in expecting a big selection and left pretty disappointed. It has less of a selection than Craft Beer Kings (El Monte), Bevmo and The Cellar (Whittier).  I could only see myself going here if I lived within walking distance, otherwise save yourself some time and gas and go to one of the places above. read more

I was looking around for a few bottles to buy and was distracted by the owner (?) yelling at one of the employees that was fixing the walk in fridge. Not only I felt bad for the employee but everyone else there that had to listen to how the management is here. I detest that kind of behavior and will not support it. I left this store - went to Al's a few blocks away and completely different vibe. read more

Service sucks he (the cashier) kept staring at my girlfriend and preached to her about how she shouldn't let random men tattoo her body because it's god who made her. He said he thinks she's a strong girl and other weirdo shit too. The whole interaction was uncomfortable for her. Unfortunately I wasn't there, she called me and told me about it. Don't go there. Especially if you're a girl and by yourself. read more

My 2nd go to beer spot! Thought they were out of the Galaxy Showers but I found 3 left :D I left of for the next lucky person! Lol Their beer selection is huge! Whatever you're in the mood for they got it here. Cheers! read more

Selection and quality options 4.4 stars. Friendly staff and open to suggestion give it the upgrade. The level of spirit quality is awesome. You can find items that are hard to find anywhere. Japanese whiskey and scotch options! Almost impossible in all of Los Angeles. Beer, craft, IPA... Mixers,.... It's a baby Bevmo with a better high end. Pricing is a bit high, but you come here for choice and selection. Not for price. If you're picky, this is the place. A true gem in the rough. read more

House of Spirits - Front and parking - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Monrovia, California

Friendly, personal service but not hovering at all. Great, quality selection for a smaller store.

If you want to pay almost double then go to House of Spirits. I did. I stopped by House of Spirits to pick up a bottle of whiskey for a get together. Not knowing much about whiskey, I asked for a recommendation and the fella at the counter asked me what my budget was. I told him $200 and he in turn sold me a bottle of Macalllan 15 for $195. A few days later I found out that the same bottle sells for between $100 and $120 at other local markets and stores. So am I mad? No. When it comes to business it's fair game, especially if you don't do you homework before hand but it's quite obvious that the owner of House of Spirits is looking to turn a quick buck by severly overcharging his customers. In the end, he may have got me for almost double, but ultimately he looses out on a customer that would have spent far much more. read more

JAW DROPPING SELECTION OF CRAFT BREWS! They sell The Lost Abbey, the Bruery, Stone, Epic, Dogfish Head, New Belgium, among a bunch of other great craft companies. Not only do they have the flagship brew from each brewery (ie Stone Arrogant Bastard), but they have seasonals, collaborations, and limited releases! I found New Belgium's Lips of Faith Cocoa Mole here, and have literally depleted their stock in a week. (Sorry guys.) They also have a "mix and match a six pack" section where you can choose from roughly 25(?) 12 oz. bottles. Their prices are great too! I found Stone's Smoked Porter for $3.99. I couldn't stop staring at that price... I heard the owner is a true connoiseiur of beers and loves to share the joys of craft brews. I'm so glad they are promoting all styles of brewing (from the locals and nation wide!)! Come here to expand your beer knowledge without pretentious on-lookers or people judging you. They also sell great snacks, like a pickle in a bag! read more

Freezers full of beer and wine that go on for days! Super selection of craft beer, the majority of it cold. You wouldn't suspect such vast selection at this liquor store, tucked away from the main drags, in an almost fully residential area. The few times that I've been here, they always seem to have some clearance sale on specific craft brew, that won't lighten your wallet too much. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here, but a definite destination when I'm in the area to see what they have on hand that you might not find elsewhere. There's been a handful beers that I've only seen here, or only scarcely in the LA area. Worth giving them call first to see if they have anything interesting in stock. read more

Having been a long time customer at Bill's Liquor in Atwater Village, when I found out that the owner was opening up another bottle shop in Monrovia, I kept that in the back of my mind if I was in the area and needed some alcohol for whatever reason. Walking in sort of looks like they're still finding ways to fill up space. But what they do have is an amazing selection of craft beer to choose from. Many of which are in the fridge, just were they belong. You have stuff from The Bruery, Lost Abbey, Stone, Firestone Walker, Victory, Great Divide, New Belgium, Russian River... well, you get the idea. If it's within a few hundred miles or distributed in SoCal, they'll probably have it and at a solid price that is comparable to other shops. The customer service here is above and beyond the call. If you show up a couple of times within a given time span, they'll remember you as a regular and the lively discussion about alcohol is always nice. Over all, if I'm in the area, I'll stop by and take a look at what they have in stock, it's usually a routine that ends with me leaving with a bottle to enjoy and toss into the collection. read more

Best place to get your alcohol fasho. I became hooked when I saw that you can make your own 6 pack. That allowed for me to try all different kids of beers! Peter & I used to go to nice liquor stores like this to get craft beers, but this one goes above and beyond. At other stores, we get our beers and enjoy them. This is the first place where we feel like they really value their regular customers. We love to try new things, so we're always asking for recommendations! Chris doesn't fail us! We absolutely love this place for the knowledge of their selections and personal relationships! read more

Prices are high. Great selection of Alcohol if you need the 750ml size. The cashier Dude with the long hair that works there is helpful but extremely weird. read more

Kinda disappointed in this place. Had gotten referred here by a friend and pulled up with high expectations. Walked in and was quickly Surprised at the small selection and high prices. $15.99 for a bottle of Delirium..? Seriously? I've been drinking that for years and it's never that much, that's how much it's costs at a bar. The guy working the counter was bumping loud music making it impossible to ask his opinion or advice on beers but after seeing the selection and prices I didn't want their opinion anyway. I'm going to stick to Certified Liquor on Foothill in Monrovia. They always have what I'm looking for and new stuff with reasonable prices. I don't need a $3/$4 markup for loud music and bad customer service. read more

This place is only a mile from my house. The convenience is wonderful as well as the people working there. They also offer you deals at check out. Came here after a rough day at work one day to buy a cheap bottle of wine and was told as I was checking out that I could get three bottles (regularly $3.99 a bottle) for $10. While this may not seem like a huge discount to some, it is a big deal to a broke college student. Money well spent and will be returning for my wine needs. **Not to mention they were open on Christmas to get last minute gifts/bottles! read more

Great assortment of stouts and barrel aged stouts. I was visiting the area from NYC for a wedding and stopped in here looking for some high abv barrel aged stouts. Got exactly what I went there for. The staff were very helpful, warm and friendly as well. read more

Big fan of the new management. Got to know a lot of them since I'm there regularly. Beer cave is amazing. The best part is the selection of microbrews. Can't find it anywhere else unless you're at a Bevmo or restaurant. They have a special where you pick 6 for around $9. Arrogant Bastard! If you need some essential stuff for a trip, they have your usual chips, ramen, soda, etc... They are currently talking about converting the section (to the right when you enter) into a Middle Eastern joint, but we'll see if that goes through. Always have specials going on for big parties (if you need like Coors, Bud light, etc..). read more

Bevmo is closed?! Come here! If you're looking for a particular beer that the market don't carry, you might find it here! Great selection of craft beer! Looking for whiskey? Tequila? Expensive ones!? They'll have it here! Prices are a little higher read more

Bourbon and spirits here are wildly overpriced and the proprietor takes glee in his gouging. His outlook is almost cartoonish in its embodiment of the greedy liquor store owners "just dealing with supply and demand". A hazy recollection of one of his sentiments was along the lines of, "If people don't want to pay my prices, fuck em. Good luck finding it at total wine". He gets a great allocation of hard to find items but with silly pricing and that attitude why support this business? read more

Honestly they are a relatively helpful shop provided you are not searching for the most difficult to find rare beers. If you are looking for a beer that is actually distributed to liquor stores, House of Spirits will definitely help you seek it out and if not they will try to point you in the right direction. Heads up though, prices are higher than most stores. It wouldn't discourage me from checking this store out though since they might have what you need. read more

Good bottle selection. Better than any place around here. Sunset bottle company is the best in LA, but we're lucky to have one in Arcadia/Monrovia. read more

Very nice selection and cool people to help. Beer is not ice cold. They are open late. 12 am on a Thursday night. BUT!! Waaaaay too pricey but a great selection. $2-$4 higher than other stores. read more

Just went in here with my gf, he asked for our IDs, which was weird because I've came here before without a problem and I always talk to the guy behind the counter. But today I left my wallet because my girl was paying. The guy behind the counter was watching something weird because we heard a lot of moaning and it smelled like hardcore black n milds just being burnt. The guy just looked into the distance and said "I cant see you anything." Sat down and resumed his erotic video with louder moaning lol. And it's way over priced and super dirty, beer cans and stuff all over the freezer floor, save your trouble and money. read more

Unexpected and great beer selection. If you are looking locally for a great variety, come here. Prices are reasonable as well.

Hmm..I used to think this place was great; no doubt the selection is wide. A word of advice, watch the cashier! I went in yesterday to grab a make-your-own 6-pack, which I thought was $9.99+tx. I ended up paying $14.99..wtf! I'm going to take half of the responsibilty for not being up to par with my math skills, but the dude blatently overcharged me. Every relationship in life is based in trust, to and including a business relationship. This business has violated my trust in them. I will not be returning. read more

My initial experience with House of Spirits was fine. They were willing to waive the deposit for a keg as I had an empty shell to trade in. I became a repeat customer and came here frequently to fill my kegerator. However, as a result of my last experience I will never be purchasing here again. I called to place an order for a 15.5 gallon keg. I was told that I had to come in to place the order. I informed them this would be somewhat inconvenient and they were very rude rather than simply explaining the reason behind this policy. I then asked how much the price was for a beer that I hadn't ordered before and when it would arrive. They told me that they couldn't give me prices over the phone - even though I had done this a number of times before. If you are in the market for a keg (or any liquor) I would recommend going somewhere else. read more

I love this place great selection of beer. Especially my lagunitas! It's a great place to stock up for the night good deals and great service I'll always go here! read more

This is my neighborhood hot spot for vodka and snacks. It's a big place with everything in stock. Staff is always super friendly and helpful. read more

Great selection. Nice staff. Terrible prices. A six pack of Dale's Pale Ale for $14.99?? While they do have a wide offering of beers, every single product $2 - $5 more expensive than it would be elsewhere. I browsed through the liquor and bitters as well - equally as overpriced. Don't even bother. read more

Good selection of beers! Reasonably priced. I will be going back to get me some Omnegang Aphrodite!

This is the place to go in Monrovia for all your craft beer needs! Huge selection to choose from in the cold door section and also on shelves in middle of the store. Kelly is a great guy and very knowledgeable with the craft beer industry along with fine spirits. They will try to get whatever you ask for if they don't already have it. If you are in the area of just didn't know about this place, make sure you stop by and check these guys out! read more

Great beer selection that's slightly overpriced.

I just need to walk in and say: I'd like to spend X and I love this. Their recommendations are always on point.

Stopped by for some good craft beer and they had a great selection! Service was excellent, very friendly and informative! Prices were excellent as well! Definitely a must stop for craft beer or any alcohol for that matter. read more
