OMG!!! I've known about this place for so long; however, I only purchased wine and cigarettes back in the days when I smoked. I still drink wine; however, handsome and I collect single malt scotch, rum, tequila, burbon, oh, let's just say any alcohol... Mission liquors is awesome! There is only one other place and that is High Times in Orange County that can compare to this place. Thank goodness this one is in our neighborhood! We purchased several bottles of single malt scotch from this place...yummy! I'm so glad that this is only a mile away from us... read more

Great selection great service very friendly people and very knowledgeable of their products and mixers and reasonably priced it was worth the drive. Great work guys thanks for all your help read more

What a great find! We were looking for Contratto vermouth and aperitif. They had both! Also had the Spring 44 gin from Colorado! We had a Negroni in Fort Collins at Rare restaurant that used the three items. It was the most flavorful and balanced Negroni we have had. We we're having a hard time finding any of the ingredients! We found Mission online and we ordered for pickup. We went the next day . They had our order waiting for us. We spent two hours in the store! Great selections of amoro's, Liquer and wine! Very helpful staff. When we got to the back of the store we met Peter! So knowledgeable about the wines they carry! Great selection! We were glad to see a great selection from Santa Rita AVA. Also there imported wines. We ended up with a wine from Croatia and France. Along with a few bottles of liquor! Good pricing, great selection and a great staff. We decided it will be our go to liquor store. It's worth the drive! read more

I will NEVER buy another goddam thing from your company, ever again! Your service is the ultimate worst and I am so incredibly disappointed with every part of your order processing system. First, you failed to include my gift note with my shipment. Second, you failed to realize that this was a FUCKING gift to my good friends. Third, fed ex delivered this on your behalf without a signature being that it is a FUCKING alcohol shipment? Am I angry by all this? Fuck yes I am and like I said, NEVER will I or any of my friends will ever buy a damn thing from your organization! Fuck off! j p.s. I hear from other friends that when they go to the various stores that the people are fucking rude and just a bunch of mean assholes. Go spend your good money on alcohol elsewhere!!! read more

AMAZING place ... qualified staff know their liquor product quality and can make great recommendations based on your price point ... yes, while they do have items in stock where the expene can head into the stratosphere for a special occasion, they have a huge selection of everything you can imagine and are good at pointing to just what will make you happy. Take a look in the separate cigar room at the selection. This is the place to come when you want a great single malt scotch and don't want to pay a fortune (e.g., they might recommend a Balvenie Doublewood or other variations if you want want a smooth honey finish). This is the perfect place to come when you want to buy a gift for somebody who knows their wines and spirits, but you're not sure what they'd like. Talk to the staff and follow their suggestions :) They'll even sell you a $2,000 bottle of Louis XIII Remy Martin, so why don't you just run right over and pick one up? ROFL read more

This store has the most extensive selection of fine alcohol in the Pasadena area (yeah more than bevmo!) Other stores may have more beer or wine or what not overall but in quality this store is it. With that said though, the prices for their products vary wildly. They definitely have some great deals on the their beverages, but some (a good number actually) they over charge by A LOT!. So you should do your due diligence before just buying any alcohols here willy nilly. From what I can tell, they better deals are on lower priced tipples that are $100 or under. Some of their higher end products are wildly over priced. If you're under the gun and you need something somewhat rare though, these maybe your guys. Goodluck! read more

Yesterday February 7, 2022, about 4:00 pm, I entered Missions Wine, their were several male Kevin employees working. I am women and black, and not one employee said hello, welcome to Missions Wine, nothing. Amazing still in 2022, blacks can't be acknowledged with a hello, but will take your money. Folks of color don't spend your money where you are not acknowledged. I will never go their again. read more

I have been searching for a place like this for a very long time! This place has an unparalleled selection of whiskey at affordable prices. They also have a good selection of cigars in the back. If your looking for a place to get good scotch and cigars, this place is a must to shop read more

Very good selection, rare cigars and cigarettes as well. Workers were very punctual with the phone and helpful in person

This place is solid. They do have harder to find and limited edition/rare stuff. However, be prepared to pay the tax for that. They are priced higher than the other 3 large booze palaces within a 5 mile radius but I would argue they have a better selection in some areas while not as good in others. You will need to feel it out in regards to your tastes. There is a lot competition in this market right now though, so definitely shop around to see which store fits you best and has the most of what you want. I stopped in here during the holidays for something limited edition and rare that was sold out everywhere else. It was in stock but for $40 more than other retailers. For a $100 bottle of whiskey, that is a significant mark up bordering on wild. I would only pay that during the holidays when--like a lot of people--I am pressed for time and stressed by normal life + holiday pressures. During the rest of the year, I would have waited to get the bottle at the price it is listed for on the distillery's website. To be fair, it is out of stock everywhere right now--including on the distiller's website--and it was a limited edition blend but shopping here was not relaxing or any kind of bargain. Last, like most places in LA, the parking is pretty much horrible if you drive any kind of sports car and/or worry about door dings, and etc. The store itself is very nice once you get in there. I found the staff was very helpful and cool as well. read more

I love this place! Amazing selection, full of standards and new discoveries. Most importantly, their prices can't be beat! You won't regret talking to the employees either, as they each seem to have their own specialty. Personally, my palate jives with Steven when it comes to wine and (non-IPA) beers. He's super friendly and helpful. You can tell he enjoys his job and really enjoys seeing a happy customer. Want a potent whiskey? Talk to Mark (unless you want something without a kick). read more

This is my favorite stop when I visit Pasadena. Ask for Antoinette she knows the sales and her liquor. Good job Antoinette! See you next time all the way from North Las Vegas read more

Always knowledgeable and friendly. Great selection. So lucky they are in our neighborhood.

They have great prices. And if you're a local it may be worth it. But if you're not and want them to ship far afield, forget it. They have no idea how to pack properly. They sent my premium sake without the box these bottles come with. They specifically come with those boxes from the sake estate to protect the bottles. Shipping department removed them and packed the bottles in peanuts that melted onto the bottles during shipping. So now instead of serving sake in beautiful bottles I now have to serve ghetto looking sake. Don't trust them to ship - only buy local. read more

Mission Wine & Spirits - Poor packing left my sake bottles with melted peanuts all over them. - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Pasadena, California

Great selection, clean and well-organized store, and good prices. Best bourbon selection I've found in Southern CA.

My go to place to find that special bottle of scotch and or bourbon. Very knowledgeable staff and very friendly.

The store in Pasadena, all these years had been exceptional in terms of selection that I normally had to spend a fortune everytime I visit, (1 bottle to purchase in mind for the day would usually push me to the limit, paying for 3-4 more at check out!). People were friendly and helpful, (particularly Carlos) with the singular exception lately of the lady at the register (04/09/2022 @ 12.00 noon) who gave me a very bad experience at check out that eventually wrecked my consistently extraordinary impression for this store. That day, I purchased the Laphroaig Lore and the Glenmorangie Signet. I asked if I could see the bottle of the Signet from the box because I wanted to make sure that it was the 2021 batch (I was collecting the yearly release of Signet and so far had 5 different batches from my collection). I was unaware that she did not like the idea or had grown impatient while I was trying to locate the laser-engraved date in the bottle. Then I heard her say in an irritated tone, "Are you buying it or not?" She then yelled, "Next customer....." What a very rude and unfriendly gesture! I would like to call the attention of the owner of this store to teach this lady at least the very basics of Customer service. I'm afraid that if this lady continuously exhibit such nasty attitude, you are bound to lose business from people like me. Her attitude was a drop of dirt in your bucket of crystal clear water! read more

Mission liquor has changed in the past six months: I have been finding some of the best deals in whisky/scotch and other spirits here. The prices have become very competitive, better than what I typically find in the SF Bay Area. The newsletters are gems with great deals, and the online shopping system has improved a lot. I buy a lot of whisky, and now they are giving me flat shipping rate - $17 per box of 12 bottles to NorCal. I can shop for bottles, leave them as "hold to be shipped later" - and then ship a bunch of them together and get a great shipping deal. Combined with excellent pricing I'm getting, this has now made me a regular customers. Keep this up, Mission! read more

The man at the front counter just absolutely ruined my day. I have never met a more unhappy person in my life. Spend your hard earned money elsewhere. No selection of wine is worth that. read more

Love the fact that these guys exist, and would much rather support them than TW, given TW's business model. My interest is pretty-much limited to scotch and occasionally bourbon. Pros: - *Extensive* selection - Prices generally beat all nearby competition on stuff that isn't hyped or very limited (except sometimes K&L, but I'll easily pay $5-10 on a bottle to avoid driving into LA) Cons: - You roll the dice on customer service, it's true - it ranges from enthusiastic to totally despondent. - You pay a heavy tax for hype or limited supply. - In-store sticker-price may exceed the online price. - The handful of times I've asked about in-stock off-the-beaten-track scotches, the person I've spoken to hasn't had it. Counter-Cons: - I'm there for scotch, not fake smiles, and I'm not American, so American-style customer-service isn't a big deal. - The flipside of the rarity tax is that if you *really* want something specific and hard to find, they'll probably have it even if nowhere else does, so you have the option of buying rare stuff if you want it that badly. If it were cheaper, someone else would have bought it already so you'd be no better off. Re the hype tax, if you're buying hyped mainstream products, you shouldn't be too concerned with value for money anyway (plus you always have the option to buy that stuff somewhere else). - I've never had them decline to price-match their website. - This last one may just be poor luck, plus if I'm asking about something, it's usually because it's obscure and there's not a lot of info around in the first place. All in all, if you go in with your eyes open, you're not going to come out disappointed. I can't really blame them for making money off people who're happy to buy exxy whisky without any idea of what it's generally worth (if that is indeed the intent). read more

They have quite the selection of wine and spirits. I was like a kid in a candy store. It is best to check online as their best prices are usually online. After you find your bottle online be sure to call before you head out to make sure the location has your bottle in stock. And if you need more than what they have in stock they will tell you the nearest location will have your bottles. Went there and most of the items I was looking for were priced the same and a select few were cheaper on their website. If there is a price discrepancy, you can ask the salesman at checkout if they price match to their website in which they will do. For rarer bottles they will only have 1-2 bottles in stock while everything else seems to be fairly stocked up. They do sell hookah items and craft beer as well so if distilled spirits and wine not what you fancy they have other liquids to choose from. Friendly staff whom are willing to go grab the items you're looking for that is at you don't have to go down aisle after aisle looking for everything on your checklist read more

Great selection of hard liquor. I would recommend stopping by. Also, their prices aren't decent.

This place is "simply the best, better than all the rest." I still occasionally out of convenience will go to a big name omnipresent competitor (hint bright red). But even the "better" location version of its chain fall short of this place. There's no frills in their pricing, they're giving you a straight deal which looks like the so-called "slashed" prices of the other big name chain competitor. They have way more and better absinthe than "other competitor" at a really great price from the start. They even had Vieux Carre...love their absinthe selection which is more imports but big chain only carries one barely local NorCal brand of absinthe whereas this place did not so I guess if you're local minded they lose a point there. They have way more and better liqueurs. All from all around the world. They have more and better kosher selections than aforementioned chain. Not that I usually buy kosher but I did come in particular here to this place for kosher liqueurs from Sukkah Hill as a gift and it's hard to find this product anywhere else. This is definitely the world market of libations. Their service was outstanding. A young man with dark hair who was unloading a box of stuff by the register I checked out on went out of his way when he overheard my request for a reusable bag (a box of shipments just came in for them). Ran outside around goodness knows where and came back quickly with one. Wtf! I can't even get people at certain locations of the big name competitor to do a stock check on a product or simply come over to open a locked shelf after hitting the buzzer that quickly! This is a place for the connoisseurs...they don't heavily advertise what a special gem they actually are...a very unassuming place that expects you to know once you see for yourself, and if you didn't know, now you know. read more

Called their Pasadena store 5 times in the afternoon which was within their business hours and nobody bothered to answer. One of the times it seemed like they picked up and just hung up. Took my business elsewhere in the area. read more

Wow guys, how about you lighten the fuck up. Nothing but angry mugs in this joint. Just wanted to get some Weller as my supply was running low. I think I'd rather go elsewhere. Smiles and greetings are not appreciated here unless you're a blue hair, although they got a great selection. Hey guys working there, if you hate it there then go find another gig...don't take it out on customers read more

I was there 4/09/22 IjovB left a review. I was the next customer in line. That customer left an exaggerated review and its idiots like him that have nothing better to do than to create a lame Yelp account with one sole review to try and discredit one of my favorite shops. The young lady at the register was not rude. ijovB was a total douchebag. I was upset on how rude and obnoxious he was acting towards the clerk. I hope I don't see him again. I love this place. I'll keep coming back to all the wonderful selections and above all, the great customer service. read more

Mission Wine & Spirits is one of my favorite stores to purchase wine and spirits in SoCal. Their helpful and friendly staff is knowledgeable and ready to show the plentiful selection. They definitely price based upon hype - Blanton's has a mark-up of about 35% over the normal price - which is a bummer. But at least you can find it here. The knowledge of wine is not deep, but it is broad and impressive considering the selection of wine. I will always be back. read more

The guys who work there are rude. They will likely not acknowledge you from the counter when you walk in. I put up with their horrible service and lack of good common friendly customer service to try to shop local. Today is the last day I will shop there. After many years of being a loyal customer I finally had to use the restroom. They have a tasting room so I thought it would be okay. No restrooms for the public, even for loyal customers while they are shopping. Horrible decision for this over priced store. Guess what? Total Wine has a restroom for their customers. Bye over priced wine! read more

A cool little joint to get your dranks and what not. It's definitely not as big as BevMo! or Total Wine, but they have a pretty wide selection of alcohol. They provide these cute little carts to put your bottles in. They have a cigar room and a wine room. Me gusta. read more

I placed my online order on Wednesday March 26th at 10AM. I did it specifically week and a half before the party (because I live in NY and they use Ground shipping). For some reason I didn't get any notifications (besides acknowledgement of my order) and I decided to send them an email. No respond. Then I called them today, on Monday, March 31st. A lady checked status of my order and told me that they didn't have tequila I ordered and they have no way to order it. I think 4 business days were enough to notify me of the fact they will not fulfill my order. I am very disappointed and do not recommend Mission Wine & Spirits for online purchases. read more

Are you kidding me?!? $150 for Yamazaki 12?!? The bottle is about $60-70. I'll even accept $80. But $150?!? What's with the 100% price hike? Even the 18 goes for under $200 but is $400 here. Do yourself a favor and buy your whiskey elsewhere. K&L is great and is very fair on pricing. If you're looking for anything from Suntory, hit up Mitsuwa, they currently have Hibiki 12 on sale for below $50. Even look into Costco (you don't need membership to buy alcohol at Costco). I'm so disappointed in this shop, I really wanted to like it and made a trip out specifically to this store. SMH. read more

I'm so lucky this business is walking & driving distance from my house. Always amazed and impressed by the beautiful variety of spirits. They wen have a mini bar giving samples of fri & sat, way 2 give back to the community. They are also always! Yes always stocked wit my fav elder flower tonic water read more

This place has a great beer selection for a local liquor store. I've found some Rogue, Great Divide, Stone, North Coast, Telegraph, Alesmith and Lost Abbey, just to name a few. They have some aged stock there too of some bottles like Angel's Share 2008 from Lost Abbey. I love their selection, I just wish they were open a little later, longer, and on Sundays. I would give them more detailed review but I've only been a few times. At least I'm always happy with what I find when I leave which is not something I can say for most of the other liquor stores in the area when it comes to beer selection. They've got plenty of other selections of alcohol but since beer is just about all I drink I can only rate their beer. read more

Massive selection Most prices are crazy good Helpful and friendly staff Location has wine tasting read more

THE MAIN LOCATION! This is by far the lowest priced place for bulk and or single beer, wine and liquor location I had ever been to. The fantastic service, location and unbeatable prices have made me want to come here more often. This is the main location, in which I ordered more than 25 Bulk boxes of Gray Goose and Wines... for my Wedding. Unbeatable price! Do note... they do have cigars and hookahs too... even the I highly recommend everyone to checking this place out, mainly for its high quality brand named liquor/wines and its huge stock selection of all sorts of verities. Just a note... they have another store, which consists of similar verities at their other location in Glendale (on Glenoaks). A+ 5 Stars read more

I love this place. I just wish they had longer hours. They have a great selection of liquors. But I can't say that their beer selection is as good as BevMo's. I love to come here to stock up on hard liquor. All flavors of 750 ml of Grey Goose for $19.99 all the time. I love that...such a great deal. Their Ketel One is also around that price, but sometimes BevMo has a 750 ml bottle on sale for $18.99--nevertheless it's still a good deal. Jack Daniels Honey for $15. As you can tell I love to price shop and Mission Wine & Spirits is a great place to get a great deal. This is the perfect place to go to for stocking up for a night of debauchery with friends. If you're looking to buy liquor, you'll be able to save a lot of money here for sure. Cheers! read more

My husband and I were on a mission to find a nice tequila for a friend and Mission Wine and Spirits came to the rescue. It's nicely organized and pricing seems to be slightly cheaper than BevMo. I suppose it depends though. We also ended up buying a bottle of Sans Liege The Offering for us, this, BevMo didn't have. Mission is now on our booze round up list. read more

I have to credit this place to Diana D. and her man : ) They told us about this liquor store that is low priced and I have been shopping here for alcohol since. They are larger than your typical corner liquor store and every time I shop, they are well stocked. Pros: Great gift sets that are the same price as the bottle alone. Nice staff, I am always asked if I need help. Prices are cheaper than your grocery store. Parking is easy and assessable. Great selection of anything you will need. read more

Great selection of liquor and beer, need I say more? Well in case I do then here you go: This place is a very decent size with a wide variety of liquor. I am a big rum and whiskey guy and this place has such a diverse selection. I also love craft beer. This place doesn't have the biggest selection, but they make up for it by having top notch beers. They carry all the local southern california breweries, and then some. They also don't gouge you on the prices, which is nice. There is no club to join, or coupons to bring, just good prices everyday. If you are a cigar smoker (I am not, but my boyfriend is) then check out their cigar selection. It is fairly decent. The only negative is they are closed on Sunday, but so what. read more

Prices are terrible. Definitely check somewhere else before purchasing from here. Unbelievable.
