Great service and selection and it's a small, local business staying afloat in these tough times. I went in there Saturday night to buy some bourbon and a cigar that would pair well with Dalmore Cigar Malt Scotch. Not being a cigar guy, I asked the gentleman with the dark hair and beard behind the counter. He suggested a cigar and he was on the mark. The cigar brought out the flavor of the scotch as advertised. A definite go-to place from now on. read more

This is far and away the best place to buy booze within the Inland Empire. I live 40 miles away and still make the trip to buy my booze here based on service and selection alone. If for some reason they don't have it, they'll order it no problem. The store is always clean, and well stocked! The employees are all product knowledgeable / incredibly helpful and nice. They even have events sponsored by various beer vendors / companies from time to time, I myself have been to a couple. Today, I put in a $1500 order for my wedding... Mike (who I pegged as one of the owners) helped me. He walked me around, made some recommendations for best bang for my buck and on sale items and was very patient and helpful in making it all easy for me. They even offer delivery on large orders! The offer anything from champagne n wine to hard booze and beer. Various price ranges so whether you're a beer snip and prefer the $20 bottle of beer or the penny pincher who appreciates quantity over quality they have what you want. They offer a wide variety of glassware as well, so if you own a home bar (like I do) you can definitely get your variety of glass wear here to keep the bar looking sharp. La Bodega is Highly Recommended by this equal opportunity booze drinker. read more

I loved this place when I arrived. Wine selection is great. The employees seem to enjoy expkaininf all the wines. This place will be a regular hang out. My friwnds have met me here and have been happy with thebwine. read more

Always has the best beer and liquor selection in the IE. The buyer, Kim, knows her stuff, takes care of her regulars, and throws a killer cellar release event every year where they sell beers you normally have to give up an arm and a leg for. An absolute must hit for anyone who digs craft beer read more

Best Liquor store, hands down. Just tell them what you're in a mood to drink and they will help you. My wife was making a buffalo chicken salad, I told the clerk and he recommend a Pinot, and my wife was very impressed of how well it paired. You can't go wrong with the craft brew selection, either- Breweries like Bottle Logic, Stone, and Russian River. This place is awesome! read more

Love this place! Staff is always super helpful and knowledgeable about their products.

This only pertains to the service I received, not the quality of the merchandise offered. The employees have always been rude and unhelpful to me. They collectively have the personality and intelligence of a leaf. No matter what you need or want, they will make you feel inferior when it is they who do not understand some kinds of beer. I will never be back. read more

If I could give 0 stars I absolutely would! I came to this spot for the second time with the intentions to shop in my local community and not travel over to Total Wine in Rancho Cucamonga but this place for sure lost my business and my families business for good. I went to buy a variety of liquor on Sat July 3rd and as I was browsing the sales floor I picked up a bottle to look at it and I was RUDELY yelled at from the cash registrar by an older lady " Put that bottle down you cannot be touching that" I immediately looked around and saw NO SIGNS that say you cannot touch any bottles. When I was checking out I confronted the lady about her poor service and how rude she was. Instead of apologizing right away she gave me an excuse that I was touching a "back stock" bottle which makes absolutely no sense when I was in a sales floor area. I let the rude old lady know that having "back stock" on the floor is not professional and being a CUSTOMER and not an EMPLOYEE how was I supposed to know that it was back stock?? After realizing that I wasn't feeding into her excuses and lies she then tried to apologize. I also did read that this is a family tan and owned business. I will never spend a dime on this place again and I hope whoever reads this strongly reconsiders visiting this poor customer service dump. If you want better prices and professional customer service shop at Total Wine. These people and their business are the prime example of why sometimes you cannot always support local as they don't know how to treat their own community. read more

Yuuup! the staff at La Bodega, helped me pick a sweet bottle for my anniversary dinner. Peace read more

I love La Bodega. Great selection of difficult-to-find beers and wine. They can special order for you. The prices cannot be beat, plus the staff is always very helpful. Highly recommend La Bodega! You aren't going to find a better selection in the I.E. read more

I wish I had known this place was here for the last 3 years! What a selection of whisky... right in my backyard. The prices are just right, and some are even on the low side. Got myself a fantastic bottle of scotch today, and the staff was extremely helpful and talkative. Just nice people :) Thank you! read more

Never went to La Bodega before until I met Mr.GC. Although I remember seeing them throughout the years growing up in the Inland Empire. I know not all of them are the same,but I like the service at this one. The staff is always willing to help and give off knowledge that they may know of products. Mr.GC has a habit of asking most staff no matter where we are at "what do you recommend?". I think it startles some folks to be asked on their opinion. Some will be like "IDK" while other like to share their expertise. I like that he does it, and now I too do it. Plus who is better knowing than the ppl who work there. It really goes to show ppl work ethics. You either put in the effort to be the best at whatever you do and learn or you don't. That's my philosophy... so because Mr.GC asked a staff on a product he came to like this beer he was referred to try. Which happened to be the Belching Beaver Peanut Butter & Jelly. Only because they didn't have his original choice at the time. Now that is a good employee. So tonight I went in just to get Mr. PBJ and starting talking to the cashier about a product that they didn't have but he explained why and also said it is possible to get by request, I thought cool. I told the gentleman of Mr.GC and I story and before you know it he referred me to try this other beer. I told the guys Dez and Will thanks and said I would let them know how the Brew Rebellion choice turned out. I hope the guys name was Dez and if not , Sorry dude I'll get it right next time ! read more

I really enjoy this store. They have a variety of liquors and wines. They also get a lot of specialty items, like Pumpkin Spice Baileys, which is great. The staff is very friendly and they always greet me when I come into the store. It's family owned and run, which makes it a step above your average liquor store. read more

staff was kind funny and helpful! great selection, great prices and awesome location!

I love La Bodega Wine & Spirits! I've been over 10 times and always find a new craft beer to try while I'm in. Their selection of hard liquors is excellent too. Their prices are comparable to bevmo, but a bit more for the generic brands than the grocery store. The prices are only a few dollars off, but I would like to see lower prices along the board if possible. read more

One of the best liquor store I have ever been in. Their selection is unbelievable and prices are reasonable. The employees are the nicest people. Visit this store just for the experience. read more

This liquor store is the spot!! I always find beverages not sold in regular grocery stores. My friend and I came upon a blueberry lemonade smirnoff, we were hooked but it was nowhere to be found. One night I came to La Bodega and bam! I found it! It was an amazing feeling! So you can come here and find pretty much anything and everything. They have fun liquor bottles and unique mixtures of alcohol. It is pretty pricey, but a liquor store is really that cheap anyways. I suggest you come here if you want to try new drinks. read more

Great service! Great variety! They had a few kegs in stock the same day. Some have to be special ordered. Will definitely be back to pick up more kegs! read more

Excellent selection of foreign and domestic beer, wine and spirits! Friendly, helpful staff. Cool German beer glasses and other accessories. Definitely stop by if you are in the area! read more

You are so lucky to have an employee like Andrew because he provided and created a lovely experience at this store I've been coming to for over 10 years. He is the type of employee Who is charming knows his craft and provides excellent customer service thank you Andrew for a rewarding experience. read more

I found very good wines at reasonable prices. The service is excellent. They even helped me carry the wine to my car. Also, an extensive variety of beer. The place is small but very clean and well organized. read more

Who needs to go to a bar when you can go to La Bodega. This place has pretty much everything a mere mortal can hope for. Additionally, everything is reasonably cheap. I'm no expert in beers and wine, but I can say this place is a gem. Drink away my friends. read more

La Bodega is my first choice for craft beers and off the beaten path spirits in Riverside. While their store is very small, they manage to fit an impressive stock of alcohol from speciality beers, wine, champagne, liqueurs and spirits. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the prices sometimes beat those of Total Wine and BevMo on some very surprising selections! read more

Great selection at competitive prices. As far as bottle shops go you can expect the same as what you get from any real deal craft beer shop. What sets this place apart is Kim. Attentive, extremely knowledgeable and dedicated to her position. When I moved here I was blown away by the service of this place and the customer first helpful attitude. I always check bodega for my needs and only go elsewhere when there is no other option. Even offers a newsletter to guests and welcomes feedback for ordering. Keep up the great work guys! Thanks for your efforts! read more

The beer selection is great, not the biggest but they have a great variety of craft beers. A lot of local and hard to find items. The staff is friendly and knowledgable. I only go for beer, but they seem to have a good amount of wine/liquor/cigars too. read more

This place has a ton of cool stuff. They don't have everything, but they have most of the standards. E.g., there's a ton of stuff for the casual tequila drinker and a more than just a couple of things for the hard core homegirls. read more

Great selection of beer. I like how they rate/describe most of the beer. Very reasonable prices.

My absolute favorite liquor store! Don't go to BevMo or some other chain place. This store has it all, and the staff is super friendly and knowledgeable if you're not quite sure what you want (they will also custom order something for you if they don't have it in stock!) It's also fun to browse as they have many beautiful and exotic bottles in stock. read more

Good selection of beer. Below average wine selection, but for the area it's very good. Well staffed. Terrible prices.

Amazing selection!! good prices! wish they were closer to me in highland

Great selection can find just about any kind of alcohol and is very close to rcc and ucr. This is my favorite place to get booze, and my one stop shop for parties. If you are looking for quality, this is the place for you. But if you are looking for cheep and not so good booze then go to food4less etc... read more

Great selection and prices. They will even specialty order for you and ship. Ask them about the sparkling wine they serve at Mission Inn.. not only do they carry it, it's under $5. read more

Helpful service, I was looking for a mid-priced bourbon for a gift for a friend and was helped immediately upon asking. The gentleman made 3-4 suggestions, telling me a bit about each. He also gave a complimentary gift bag. Nice service, great selection. Well-done! read more

Came to get empty boxes for moving, but when I walked into the store I was like "Wow." So I ended up buying a bottle of Malbec. The people were very nice and helpful, and their selection of alcohol is beautiful! Had a Brooklyn vibe inside the store. Smiles. read more

By far one the best Wine & Spirits store serving the Inland Empire and Riverside. An enormous selection of drinks to choose from and prices vary based upon your level of preference. I give La Bodega a 5 star rating for excellent service, wide selection, and for their convenient location to my house! read more

Think of this as a small none chain version of a bevmo . They always have great craft beer selection. Would recommend this place to anyone in the area wanting to buy a new beer to try read more

I went here on Christmas eve....line was wound around the inside of the store ...I think they have a larger selection of beer than bev-mo....love this place and close to my home... read more

Everyone keeps raging about beer, but the bourbon is amazing. Best selection in riverside for bourbon, rye, wheat, and scotch. My boyfriend and i have had bookers, Stagg, springbank, Pikesville, Hudson. Mike is the expert and has even paired cigars with liquor for me. This place has a family feel to it, and i feel proud supporting my community when i shop here. They have new stuff every time i go in and are knowledgeable and friendly. Very good tequila as well. For the connoisseur read more

Knowledgeable staff that is incredibly friendly. Whenever I visit my parents in Moreno Valley I always make a trip through La Bodega. This place is a Riverside institution serving generations of alcoholics (my parents included.) read more

One of my favorite liquor stores there are few places that carry the selection of harder to find items than La Bodega, there have been few occasions where I could not find a seasonal beer or a specialty small batch whiskey that I was looking for. Only down fall is a fault of my own it is far too far to be useful on a regular basis to me. The staff is usually knowledgeable and helpful when it comes to finding and selecting something new. Thanks for the great selection! read more
