Watch this lady she'll "rip you off!" I asked her for a Powerball with eight games x $2 a game, would have been $16 dollars. Also asked for one $5 dollar Mega Millions, she charged me $21 which was correct. But what she gave me, that I didn't notice till later, was one Powerball with three games a second Powerball ticket with one game. four games total. Should have cost me $8 for Powerball, and $5 for the mega millions, should have only been $13. She ripped me off $ 8. So mad! Especially at my self for being so preoccupied by that Powerball, I couldn't even do the simple math. WTH! She seemed shady from the start. I should have known she'd try to pull a fast one. Wouldn't surprise me if they rip many customers off as they have such poor reviews. KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN IN THIS PLACE! Download the lottery app so you can check your own tickets. Super easy to scan from your cell. Definitely wouldn't trust them to tell you if you had the winning ticket! read more

Lucy is the best. Wonderful staff, mom & pop liquor store. Always fully stocked with snacks, food and drinks. If you have a request they will do their best to try and order it for you. Definitely a place to make your regular go to. read more

Unbelievable, I experienced the full power of the old lady behind the counter. She is a much worse version of the soup naz* from Seinfeld. The experience was so bad that it's comical. I went to buy some tickets for the 1.6B powerball prize. She started giving me an attitude, like I am inconveniencing her. When questioned, she said if you don't like it you can go somewhere else. Thank you, I certainly will. read more

The only place to get booze in the area at a late hour...Friendly. clerks and employees with your typical liquor store offerings. They don't make sandwiches here or sell hot dogs or hot food which is the only way I'm giving a local urban liquor store 5 stars but I think it's a good store. During pandemic, they keep the store very clean. read more

The lady behind counter is horrible. I wanted to buy a lot of lottery tickets and she complained that she didn't want to stay there all day. I was shocked. When I questioned her about the lotto ticket she told me that I didn't need to tell her how to do her job. She also told me that if I didn't like the service there then I don't have to come back. Wow. The other Indian man (maybe her husband) also said if I didn't like the service then I don't have to come back. I've never seen such bad customer service. So extremely rude. Avoid this place at all costs! read more

I was very surprised the variety of products they had. I came in for some IPAs my brother enjoys and they had them in stock. I was also pleasantly surprised the variety of wines they carried. I decided to purchase a couple bottles with a couple snacks . Great place when you want to try something new and at reasonable prices. Will definitely stop by next time I'm in the area read more

Me and my Dad have been going to this liquor store for over 15 years. We buy lottery ticket as a routine for my Dad twice a week. And just recently the lady behind the counter have started refusing to exchange the winning lottery tickets. I am only writing this review as I am keeping track of when and how many times she's refused to acknowledge any winning tickets (3 times she has refused) even for a single ticket winning. She says there isn't enough money every time. I will be reporting matter to the Lottery Security and Law Enforcement division. I hope they can better support the locals who are supporting their business. Everyone else helpful and nice at the store but the lady, boy howdy she cranky!.. read more

I choose not to go here because of the negative reviews. Hopefully there are new employees to increase the positive reviews. I had several places I could stop today and wanted to go to a neighborhood store. Looks like I will try another neighbor hood store on my way. read more

I find it hilarious how reviews say this place has "friendly" employees, the Indian lady working at this place is straight up RUDE. Gave myself attitude for trying to cash a scratch off ticket for my grandfather, literally threw a snarky comment my way and clearly doesn't enjoy her job. She must be the owner or related to them because I've never in my life seen an employee act this rude to a customer and I've been working retail for 10+ years.. I understand this is a liquor store so you can't really expect "top tier" customer service but the lady at this store needs to retire or become a dishwasher. Guy behind her definitely felt uncomfortable working with her as she was rude to almost everyone. Trash place. Go to Shoreview liquors down the street. read more

Marina Liquors has most beers, wines, hard liquors, snacks priced on the high end of reasonable. brew: "riley's brewing com with honey.3.99) 5.5 -more than a light lager, honey infusion adds sweet ambience -wouldn't kick this to the buckey. good with spicy foods drips: -friendly, cordial checkout. =parking difficult on weekedns. read more

Marina Liquors staff is great. My experience during a visit was awesome. Not only did they process my transaction quickly, they also gave me an extra $2 back as a discount. I would definitely go back read more

Had to stop by here on the way to a Friendsgiving party, though i saw the bad reviews I actually had a pleasant encounter with the cashier. He was wearing a 49ers Jersey so had to give him a compliment! The transaction was quick and the conversation was great! Will have to go back! read more

This place should get a 0 stars!!!! Customer service is super rude the cashier didn't even get up Their seat to accept my order. Further more I was just running for a chocolate because my sugar was low and the amount was 1.09 and the cashier declined my purchase !!! He says I have to buy more than 5 dollars to use my debit card!! Are you serious!! What type of business is this refusing service to an American citizen!!!! And do you think I will want to spend 4 dollars more in this store after the kind or service you provided ! It could have been a life or death situation and you decline service to a human !! Do not shop here it's very bad ! Millions of other places want business but people like this are ruining it customer want to be able to buy what they want. Horrible place he can have my piece of chocolate back and place it where its most convenient to him!!!! Very mad and disappointed read more

I found a Sam's Club cola in the fridge and the guys working had no idea that they even carried it. That's what I love about obscure liquor stores. We had a good laugh about the weirdest beverages we've ever found. Good sense of humor and totally friendly guys. read more

service and costume service terrible, and rude,specifically from the lady. she is upset the last three times.

Great store to purchase your liquor and cigs. they have everything you possibly desire and its easy to get in and out. great service and very good customer service. i go here all the time because of the service and the very god price. check it out! read more

A small corner liquor store that sells cold beer, soda, and drinks, hard liquor, cigarettes, lotto tickets, candy and some groceries. I've only been here a few times, but it's a popular place amongst the smokers who hang out at Tapioca Express and want cigarettes and have finished off their packs. read more

Marina liquor got good prices on liquor, beer, cigs, and even condoms. I go there regularly to purchase these items. The service is very friendly. I am glad there is at least one decent liquor store in the area. read more

Use to come here to get lotto tickets years ago when I lived close by and it hasn't changed...the cashiers here are rude as ever . Terrible customer service...it was so bad I had to leave ... Didn't want to spend even a penny in there. Get some aloha spirit people. It doesn't even deserve a star but it was the only way to submit this review. read more

Great selection of Japanese Whiskey and IPA beer! I was surprised to see a large wine selection. Prices are fair. I always stop by when I'm in the area. read more

Family owned with a semi-friendly staff. Great place to buy lotto tickets as their dedicated lotto booth is always full of blank scantrons. Alcohol prices are...ehh...but if you or the old man needs a cold one asap, give this place a shot. read more

If I can give a -5 star review, I will definitely do it. The lady owner of the shop is totally rude. I asked if she could help me to check a lotto ticket manually and she said she was not there to help. So if you can avoid this place, go somewhere else. This place does not treat people right. read more

They're very convenient due to their close location to my home (hence the term convenience store) and their selection and prices are pretty good but in no way does any of this excuse their absolutely horrific customer service. The owner himself is completely full of himself. The cashiers act as if they're there doing me a favor. Needles to say if there's one thing I can say about their customer service, it's that they have none. They're just plain rude. read more

They deserve zero star for being the rudest people around. The lady totally ignored me when I was the first one patiently waiting. She helped another customer, who had tons of ears and nose rings, before me. She then refused to help me and said she had no change. I told her I would give her exact change. I asked her why the person in front of me got change and she had no change for me. She replied that she spent $5 while I was spending $3? I would never go back to that place! read more

This store is amazing. First, they have everything you might need for a fri/saturday night. Their location is close to everything. Their prices are only slightly higher then a chain store, but they don't have the pricing power of Safeway. Most important is their service. The guys that work here are always so nice. They greet you with a smile. When you go to check out it is not uncommon that they will bag your food or drinks while you pull out your credit card. I can't even get that at Safeway these days (and they have dedicated baggers). I am happy to return to this store for their selection and excellent customer service. Thank you for taking pride in your store!!! I know others have reported poor service but I only shop at night. So I can't speak for who works during the day. read more

Rude rude rude cashier woman. Very similar experience as another yelper posted. Used to buy lotto tickets but the last straw was this past week when the woman tried to rush us. Customer service people! We will take our money elsewhere. read more

The lady owner is rude and disrespectful. I was buying a lotto ticket for $5 and I decided to use my change. She said "I don't have time to count this"..Another customer was walking out and heard our conversation and he said "I guess I'm not the only one she treats like that". As I was walking out of the store, the lady owner called me "stupid"! read more

If I could give zero star I would. I went to get some lotto ticket with my mom and the owner lady was extremely rude and she basically was yelling at me. I am not sure what her rush was. She had no other customers in the store which I am not surprise with her poor attitude and horrible customer service. The place looks like a dump too. read more
