Date: Wednesday, March 27th, 2024 Time: around 6:15pm In an attempt to become an almost billionaire, my friend and I dropped by to grab a powerball ticket. Unfortunately, our dreams did not come true and we did not win. But while here, we did decide to buy some scratchers. Luckily, those hit and covered some of our powerball losses. They have a decent variety of scratchers as well. Random store on the corner of 19th and Noriega. Good for scratchers. Just not my dreams of being an almost billionaire. There is the next powerball drawing tho! read more

My mom just went in to buy the super lotto. She gave the guy in the front $14 (they are 2 dollars each for the non gamblers) and he only gave her six tickets back. Had to return to the store to ask for the last ticket and barely acknowledging even making a mistake. Extra star for past experiences read more

I went there last night to get a bottle of wine and was pleasantly surprised by 1) how clean and organize the store is 2) they have an extensive selection of wine at a reasonable price point 3) customer service was just stellar. Kiazer (excuse the spelling!) was very knowledgeable about wines, provided superb recommendation and was efficiently accommodating. I even walked out with an extra bottle of wine! I will surely recommend this place to friends and family. This will be my new go-to for sure. Thank you read more

Love this liquor store. Plenty of drink & snacks options. We already run into the father or son, with great costumer service. Glad they're still around! * $5 min for a card use. read more

I stop in here to get some fizzy drinks, Pellegrino, Snapple, new craft sweet drinks. Today I had a purity Sparkling fizzy water grapefruit flavor. That was a new item I hadn't seen. You can even get your papers notarized here. We've done that. Old-fashioned corner store at 19th and Noriega. Not too creepy or seedy. read more

Great selection of whatever a liquor store should carry. But most importantly, the professional and friendly service from Big Lou and his Great employee who works evenings. ~ Angela read more

**A TRUE DEFINITION OF A CORNER STORE!!** I came across this today (1/9/14) as I was driving down 19th Ave and needed to find me some snacks before going to the Richmond part of SF. I walk in and OH BOY!! Can you say SNACKS!! This store carries a variety of different chips, drinks, household goods and tobacco products. Look no further! What you want, they have here! I was walking about and knocking things over! HAHA its like that! Prices are decent, however, for people like me that like to use your debit card please note that you have to have a minimum of $10 without gaining a 75 cent fee. If not $10, be prepared to pay that extra 75 cents :( The owners here are so nice and sweet! I would definitely come back here again I was excited to see all the wine selections that they have here. I will have to come back and really look at what they have and what looks good! read more

Nineteenth Ave Liquors - a man and a woman in a store - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - San Francisco, California

A group of friends and I stopped here on our way to drink at Golden Gate park and we were NOT disappointed! The selection was great, we were able to grab wine, High Noons, and they even had some of the Buzz Balls that are on the internet right now. On top of that, I was wildly hungover and craving a Bloody Mary. The canned drinks they sell there by Cutwater Spirits are AMAZING. I grabbed a canned Bloody Mary and it was actually delicious. The best part of the store, however, was the owner Big Lou! He was HILARIOUS, hospitable, and kept my friends and I entertained with stories and life lessons while we waited inside for our Uber. He even gave us some bottle opener keychains. I told him I was going to write a yelp review for his store before we had even left, he made that great of an impression. Will definitely go out of my way to buy alcohol here when I'm in the city in the future! read more

Called to ask if a specific item was in stock and the gentleman who picked up the phone said "I don't have time to look for you, stop asking". I asked if I should just call back later and he proceeded to hang up the phone. Lol I can confidently say I will never spend my money at this place. read more

A usual neighborhood convenience store. I came in here today for a bag of Doritos Nacho Cheese Tortilla Chips since I was really hungry. This store carries: - Potato Chips, Corn Chips, Tortilla Chips - Plain Bottled Water, Soda, Vitamin Water and Starbucks Coffee Bottled Beverages These are pretty much some of the items you'll see when you walk into any convenience store. There are cigarettes wine and alcoholic beverages available. Lottery tickets are also available here at this authorized retail location. This is one of the convenience stores I'll turn to if I ever need a bag of chips with a bottle of soda or vitamin water. If you are in this area looking for a store to something to satisfy your thirst and hunger, then Nineteenth Ave Liquors will be the place to turn to. One thing that makes this spot even better would be the bus stop for MUNI route 28 right in front. These neighborhood convenience stores a bit smaller than a usual 7-11 store you visit. The owners who run this store were very nice! If you are out on 19th Ave & Noriega St looking for something to munch, then come into Nineteenth Ave Liquors to check out the selection of snack food and beverage items. Credit / Debit Cards are accepted here, but the minimum purchase amount has to be $5 or more. Purchases under $5 are cash only! Street parking only! read more

what more can i say , the owner of this store is a genuine man. He keeps me laughing at his jokes and i love sharing stories of family. Be kind and be honest or dont be around Big Lou. read more

There's this younger man that works there with no customer service experience at all. Me and my fiancé walk into the store. We look around for not even 1 minute, and he comes up to us and says "are you guy going to check out?". We were confused so we needed him to repeat himself. He then says "I need you guys to check out so I can eat my meal." I told him we weren't even going to take long. I can tell he got embarrassed, because of the way we looked at him, and how we walked away. It only took us less than 5 minutes to grab everything we needed. Once we got to the counter to check out, he proceeds to ask my fiancé personal questions. When we left the store, my fiancé complained how rude, weird, and awkward he is. Btw he's pretty damn slow at his job. Last week I went in to get cigs and he took his time before checking me out. I'll still be coming to this place because it's convenient, but if this dude acts like this again, imma have to say something to his face. read more

The rudest and most unprofessional cashier ever! He was a young maybe 20 something year old possibly Hispanic man. I asked politely if I could get a lotto ticket and he looked at me up and down and replied, "That costs money." Yes, I know that costs money, which is why I wanted to get one, as in purchase one. I said, yes, I would like to purchase a lotto ticket. He rolled his eyes and said we don't take credit cards, only cash. I only had a $20 bill on me and then he said there was no change so I had to buy $20 cash in lottery tickets. What?! I said how could this be. I also saw him not charge another customer in front of me because they were friends. He just let his friend come in and walk out with a bunch of free beer and snacks. Does the owner know about this?! read more

They get an extra star for actually having Budweiser Chelada (deliciousness in a can that gets you buzzed) and a jar of sweet peppers for my nachos (coz I need an extra kick for my cheese). The only issue is... these items are not readily on display. You have to ask the guy behind the counter if they have it. There are two guys who alternate manning this small lickasto: one is scary looking who I described in my original review, and the other is more pleasantly plump and has a good-natured face. I was fortunate to get the nice one and he said "yeah, Chelada? Yeah we have it. It's just underneath the fridge because we don't have enough space." *message* read more

19th Ave. Liquors is a pretty small liquor store, but they have a surprisingly wide selection of wines. None of them are chilled, but if you were expecting them to be, you're in the wrong place. The beer selection is alright with some seasonals and local brews. The best part is the large porno mag selection right by the front door. You can't see it as you walk in, so be ready to be greeted by glossy paper boobs on your way out. read more

This is my spot. I can make it in here get two 22's and a bag of Doritos and be back to my couch in under five minutes, well that is if I make the light across 19th AVE. There are three people who work here and I can't remember their names for the life of me except the owner Big Lou who is a really nice guy and deserves my business. Big Lou is the type of guy who isn't your typical liquor storeowner who is trying to be your best friend and call you boss every time you come in but is an honest good businessman. His wife, and some other skinny gentleman in his 40's are always friendly. The employees are never on their phone or too busy to deal with you and although I've never bought anything other than 22's chips and an occasional six of Anchor I do have to admit these are a little pricy but it's less than one minute from this keyboard to the liquor isle so what ya ganna do? I just wish they didn't close at 8PM on Sundays but I do live out in the burbs. read more

A good selection, nice people, and food is fresh (never anything expired).

i live a few blocks away from 19th ave liquors, and sometimes i'll cruise in to pick up some beer or a snack. apparently this is the lucky lotto ticket purchasing place, says so on the front window! if i ever buy lotto tickets, they will be from this establishment. (i also have no idea why yelp has this place located in the civic center, it's clearly smack in the sunset) read more

I live only a block from here, so this is my place to go if I want to pick up a sixer and some snacks. I've only encountered the owner and his wife, and they are both nice people. They have a good beer selection, a bit overpriced, but not more so than any other liquor store. You can always find at least 6-7 beers that will be 6 or 7 for a sixer, so thats not too bad. They take credit/debit cards, but its 50 cents if you are spending less than $10, which is very reasonable. read more

They have a pretty wide selection, but it's all crammed into a tiny store. They've also got snacks (from Clif Bars to Flaming Hot Cheetos) and other things you might need for a good evening. Prices are okay. If you spend over $50 in the store, "Big Lou" gives you a free metal water bottle :) read more

They have a decent selection on liquor, a good selection of non-alcoholic drinks, and it's owned/operated by an awesome family! If only they carried more protein bars/drinks.. read more

It's close. Has the essential liquids to make me forget about the day. Would get extra star is it had better hours I want my milk before 10:00 please. read more

This place has been around for as long as I can remember and I'm glad its still here (12 years later). Nineteenth Ave Liquors has all the snacks you can possibly imagine along with a great variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. A bit cramped, but very convenient since the 28 MUNI bus stop is right outside too! read more

Dropped by this corner store today, to purchase a powerball ticket! So, I never play the Lotto, but 500 million is 500 million and I have just as good of a chance as anybody! Anyway, I didn't have any cash, so i asked if i could use my debit card. The owner stated "yes", but with a 2 dollar transaction fee. I didn't have my phone and couldn't transfer the funds to my checking! To make a long story short, I asked for a 5 dollar quick pick? Duh I didn't know it is 2 dolls a line! Lets just say the owner took care of me! Great customer service and I give him 5 stars just for that! I will be back to this great little gold mine! read more

I love this place so much. Family owned businesses are always the way to go. Their prices are great and the selection is solid. At the end of the day though, the people working the counter will always be the reason you come back. You won't find better conversation than Louis. He's one of the funniest people I know. Definitely come here. read more

The owner is a prick but also quite funny if you're into dark humor. Reasonable prices and walking distance from my house, so I won't complain. Five stars because the beer and liquor is good. read more

Louie, the owner and purveyor is an asshole and always greets me with a "f**k You" when I walk in. I hate him so much and wish all that all the bad things in life happen to him and only him. But I put up with his abuse because he has some of the best prices in town. 5 stars for this establishment. read more

Louie, is not only a great proprietor, and merchandiser, but he has become a friend as well. this is a great store that has everything. Louie got a promotional belt buckle from JACK DANIELS, Kind of cowboy style. Probable sells for $75.00 + He sees, I am wearing cowboy boots, pulls out this belt buckle, and says, "I want you to have this" and gave me that beautiful buckle for free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. What a great guy! read more

ive been petting the dog statue outside for 25 years, must do so for luck on those lotto tix

Ok stock of items, but the man behind the counter (not the one with the pictures of his daughter at checkout) is incredibly rude. He is spiteful and nasty to anyone who doesn't pay with cash - even my neighbors have experienced this. We would rather walk a mile to Walgreens or Safeway than deal with his poor attitude. Avoid! read more

I recently went to the store and encountered the nicest people in the world. I met the new owners louie and waffa. They have their kids running around the store. They have completly remodeled the whole store. They try their best to make sure all customers are happy, They added alot of new things like more grocery items and a large selection of irish and english items. All i have to say this is the place to go. read more

Everybody u got to go to 19th avenue liquors. the people r so nice and they have a cute little boy running around which looks alot like my brother. They got so many new stuff and i am biting my fingers off eating all the candy and chips. They have so much new stuff that i can't pick one and people who like to try new things like wine beer and liquor come to this store. if u go there the guy will make u laugh so hard. when u r there u r like their family. read more

Big Lou is the man. He has excellent service and excellent prices on booze. I am proud to call this place my corner liquor store. If you want a good deal go for the Bacardi or Ancient Age and make sure you leave a tip for his kids college fund ;) read more

this place is grossly overpriced for what they sell, but what can i say, zebe is my guy! there's something about being able to go grab ice cream between commercial breaks that keeps me coming back. there's something about the owner knowing exactly how much wine, liquor and ice cream i buy without judging me that keeps me coming back. not only does the guy behind the counter know my name, but he knows my roommates and asks about them and how they're doing each time i come in. i'm addicted to the customer service and will continue to buy from them, even if i could save $20 bucks from going the extra 10 blocks to safeway. read more
