    Imported bottles
    Jocelyn R.

    This place is a really cool shop to visit while you wait for your pizza across the street or after even. The guy who works there is super friendly and if you're looking for a different kind of drink that most likely won't be at the liquor store you'll probably find it here. Definitely recommend visiting.

    We absolutely LOVED this place! A friend recommended it to us and we're so thankful - only 90 min outside of LA (we went to Skyforest for a weekend getaway) and it feels like a hidden gem! Kind staff, an amazing collection of drinks - if you're nearby or passing through, definitely make a point to stop here! You won't regret it.

    Great selection

    If I had to imagine a quintessential mountain store that specializes in alcohol sales, it would be Little Bear Bottle Shop. As one of the newer shops in lake arrowhead, walking through the front door I felt as if I'd stepped back in time with the rustic feel and the genuine friendly customer service from Nathan. I loved the homemade brass price tags on each bottle, the wood crafted shelving and the wide selection of curated spirits and wine. But on top of everything that makes this store great, again, it's Nathan's relaxed, easy-going demeanor and product knowledge that compels this five star experience.

    Super cute spot perfectly situated on the way to Lake Arrowhead. Definitely recommend stopping by either before or after! Great place for local craft brews, unique wine and liquor. They even have cool bitters and gifts like antique bottle openers and wine stoppers. My friends got some cute pre-mixed cocktails and my fiancé got a Syrah that the owner recommended - a super friendly guy that's super knowledgeable. The whole store exudes eclectic charm!

    ***FUN DRINK PLACE ON THE MOUNTAIN*** Love this little hideaway "liquor store" in the mountains. The owner, Nathan is super friendly and very knowledgeable about "spirits". There are so many FUN drinks to choose from (bottle, can, etc) that you'll probably ending up walking out with several (I bring my cooler when I shop!). I especially love the delicious, pre-made cocktails by Live Wire (see photos) - a yummy treat on a summer afternoon! Stop by and browse around...you will love it! (Corner of HWY 18 & Kueffel Cyn Rd., Sky Forest Area - Lake Arrowhead)

I'll start with the bad, on the outside its like a fresh, red, and juicy apple, but apples can be decieviving, and this one was. To me the interior was very subpar and lacked that "woods-cabin-lake-vibe". I would have preferred it to match the aesthetic of the forest which sorounds it. I really just think more care could've been put into the interior design. Now onto the food. The sandwiches felt like my mother packed them. I definitely felt the love but you know moms, flavors not always there. But here's Peter John Leesons v's little secret, you got to add pickled jalapeño's and not just on deli sandwiches but everything!!! I got the veggie sandwich with chaddar cheese‍. The veggies came super fresh and the lettuce had a very nice crunch to it. This sandwich sounds good so far, right? WRONG!!! As fantastic as the veggies were, the bread was genuinely low quality and that is just not optimal for a good sandwich. Bread is the corner stone to a high quality sandwich and thats what I felt was really lacking. As a suggestion, I think if you asked the wonderful employees to toast your sandwiches it would be a lot better. Speaking of those kind and welcoming employees, their service really made this experience for me. The sweet woman behind the deli counter seemed incredibly locked in‍ and got our sandwichs out in record time. This quality service continued to the check out counter, where I met my charmingly awkward cashier. Overall, I will say that the cedar glen fine foods market is not bad especially for those looking for a cheap affordable sandwich, it just needs some aesthetic elbow grease (of course referring to the interior). One suggestion I have is to make the food racks wood and paint the walls a more in inviting color!!!! thank you devoted for your time and love Peter John Leeson V Signed out

There was a bit of a line, but she made every customer who went through her line feel seen. She actively engaged in conversation and gave suggestions for how customers could save some $$$. I know we all appreciate those types of hints. When it was our turn, she personalized her conversation so organically. The store also had reasonable prices and a good selection of different types of food. Recommend for vacationers who prefer to cook vs go out to eat for every meal.

But I must say, Michael Doherty has let Stater Brothers go downhill ?.. and I will say he has definitely left the original owners completely down. I know so many people that have stopped shopping there and it's very sad. It's just become the trash of the hill. For us That I've lived here 40 years plus when we get together it's saddens us to see the store go to flatlanders and not to the locals. He has let the Store go to hell and it is what it is cause it used to be a great store. Hope you're having Michael Doherty because of your employees as well as you have run that store into the ground I'm quite honestly I don't care about anybody's opinion unless you've lived her close to 40 years and you knew that Store 40 years ago.

You can also grab other items, water, juice or Gatorades as well. They offer a VARIETY of mini shots if you want to grab a couple different types. The store was clean and well kept, and very organized. Would definitely go back again when in the area. This became our go-to liqour store in the area.

It's a gas station meets liquor store type vibes and the service is mid I guess cause you don't really need much help unless you're looking for something specific. I love how much random (but amazing) stuff they have. Fruit-shaped ice creams? Yup. Buldak noodles? Yup. That super tasty Taro juice? Yup. It's like a mini treasure hunt every time I go in. One of my favorite things though is their cocktail bags. I absolutely love that they offer those -- it makes my life so much easier. And they even give you premade cup of ice with your purchase, which just feels like they really thought it through. Pro tip: only use half of each bottle of whatever is in the bag because it can definitely make two cocktails. Trust me... learned that the fun way Beware tho some drinks and bottles might be a little over priced in my opinion but sometimes we have no choice but to drop that pretty penny.
