Delicious, perfectly cooked pasta. But the best parr re t about this restaurant is the hospitality. Felix was friendly and accommodating. We'll definitely come back. read more

I've lived in the Point Loma/OB area for 7 years and have been coming to Riviera liquor for that entire time. I love supporting local businesses and this place is great. You're always greeted with a warm smile and the workers are more than happy to help you decide what you'd like to purchase with an extreme amount of knowledge on anything from beers, wine, tequila, and even cigars. They have great prices and even taste testings from time to time. read more

Great staff! Owners were friendly and helped us out when we were looking for something specific and nice big smiles on their faces. I definitely will offer them more of my business. That first impression was amazing, thanks you guys! Love, the buzzball people. read more

A hidden gem in Point Loma! If you're a frequent flyer at this place, Mike, Thomas, Or Alan would greet you by name. A small adorable business who loves their customers. I seen the staff greet customers by their names and a friendly smile. A huge variety of selection of alcohol! A true liquor store! read more

Been going to these guys for almost 20 years. Always my go to spot, and will always drive out of my way to support their business.

These guys are all like family. Great go to spot for us. Mike, Tommy, Alan, Danny, Steve are all great!

Riviera's my go to spot. They offer a vast variety of everything, it keeps me coming back. From the moment you walk in the door to the moment you walk out; you always feel welcome. They also happen to be know for selling some pretty lucky lottery tickets. 10/10 will always recommend. read more

DO NOT BUY from here. They mark everything by 50%. I purchased a tequila bottle that was priced at $140 there. I later looked it up and it sells for $80. Silly me, I should have done my research, but I am kicking myself for trusting that they have their clients best interest in mind. REDICULOUS. read more

I had to post my experience on the Riviera. On first night of vacation, I visited last and enjoyed browsing the great selection of wines, beers, spirits, and cigars. I picked up a few things paid and enjoyed the spoils that evening. In the morning I got a call from my cc company asking about a large charge. As it turned out an extra 1 was added on the amount that was entered in the terminal accidentally. I called Riviera expecting to jump through hoops to prove and resolve. When I called the gentleman on the phone asked if I was the guy from the prior night and that when they were reconciling charges that morning they caught the error. I went back later that day and was greeted by a couple of the manager/owners who were highly apologetic and gave us a few freebies. The also proceeded to ask if I was any of the people they were googling when trying to search and contact me to let me know. Mistakes happen and the way they handled the inconvenience couldn't have been better. If you are in SD and looking for a good selection and a great business to support, this is the place. read more

Look no further! This is honestly the best liquor store in SD. The hospitality the selection I feel like family every time I walk into this establishment. If I could give them more stars I would! The beer and wine diversity is amazing, and don't forget the cigar room in the back. Thanks again for all that you do it is greatly appreciated. read more

Riviera has the best selection of spirits in the neighborhood. My go to spot for craft whiskey and liqueur. Love visiting on Fridays and Saturdays when they have sampling to try product before I buy it. Great prices too! They always have Luxardo cherries, which are my favorite! Staff is always kind and available to help me find what I am looking for. read more

Super friendly guys run this liquor store. there's a great variety of beer, wine and liquor. I can always find new beer and wine to try. Plus they have a temperature controlled cigar room!!!! It's my favorite liquor store. They treat you as a friend upon entry read more

Wow! I must be wearing the wrong push-up bra cause I go in here all the time and never score anything FREE like Angie! It's also a little bit ironic that I review so many LIQUOR STORES, because I hardly drink-booze is too much a bloater for me to over-imbide! But this Liquor Store has been around here for ages. It has a loyal clientele of peeps who live in chi-chi Loma Rivieria condo's right beyond it's driveway. A steady parade drives up on football Sunday's and comes out tooting 12 packs of various beers. In fact-the best thing I can say about this place is it has such an excellent variety of both beer and liquor! It sells lots of those tiny bottles of booze that you find in the mini-frig's in hotel rooms-that's why Riviera is such a HIT with all the homeless that doze off in the bushes across the street. And there are lots of homeless that call this place heaven since individual cans of beer are sold-unlike the Long's Drugs and now CVS down the road! Plenty of snack foods, miscellaneous stuff like charcoal lighter and magazines also available. Open on just about all holidays & THEY CASH CHECKS! If they know you! All the homies from my apartment complex go down to pass one until the welfare check arrives! Yeah-this purveyor of "spirits" does it all! read more

Riviera Liquor - a variety of liquor bottles - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - San Diego, California

I normally have a very difficult time selecting liquor and while I appreciated the wide selection this liquor store had, I had trouble deciding. I was looking up reviews and the calories of the different alcohol options and trying to figure out how much I should have for my night. The clerk, an older gentleman, came over and asked if I needed help and I explained that I was just picky and carefully trying to plan how much I should have for tonight. I continued and about 10 minutes later after I was trying to pick my last option the clerk came over and loudly accused me of suspicious activity and said I was "scanning barcodes for his competition." I tried to show him my phone to show that I was actually looking up nutritional facts and other reviews but he refused to listen and kept telling me that I couldn't look up the alcohol because of his competition and that I had been there for too long. It was handled very poorly and the entire interaction was completely unnecessary. Needless to say I did not appreciate the accusation and will not be returning. read more

These guys are crooks! I just went in there about 30 mins ago to buy lottery tickets because I'd rather buy them from a locally owned business than a corporate type one at the 7-11 right across the street. I bought $13 worth of tickets and got back $79 from my $100 bill. The guy did count it back in front of me but he kept switching money between registers, counting up and then counting down. When he was done counting he FOLDED all the bills and them handed them to me. It just didn't feel right at the time but I foolishly didn't make him recount it in front of me because I trusted them because I shop there often. Anyway, when I got back to the car, I counted it myself and it was $8 short. I went back in and pleaded my case but that was to no avail. They said that they counted it in front of me and it was my fault for leaving. I essentially got fooled by the oldest truck in the book ( the sleight of hand). I will never ever spend another dime here again and am about to blast them on FB as well! read more

Pretty decent for a liquor store. Sometimes liquor stores can be a real rip off. This one is not bad with the prices at all. Sometimes they even have some pretty good deals. I got a 12 pack of red hook pale ale for about $12. Also bought a weird milky looking liqueur that came in a sperm shaped container. The sperm has a smiley face. Haha. read more

I used to live in Pt. Loma 3 years ago, and frequented Riviera Liquor regularly. Today I went back because my girlfriend's friend was having a birthday party in the area and we needed some adult beverages. The amazing clerk (I wished I remembered his name) remembered me and and other details about my life. It was great seeing him and feeling so welcomed all over again. These guys are truly good humans. Support their business! read more

Amazing selection, reasonable prices great customer service I love this liquor store. Wish I lived closer I would bring my business here daily. read more

I have been coming to this store for years , all the employees are super friendly and helpful! Decent prices and fast service but it's the amazing customer service that keeps us coming back ! read more

Although this may be our local liquor store, my family had come her over the years and the crew here always remembers us. Very friendly and personable. Thank you to Tom, Allen and Steve! read more

Customer service above and beyond ! When I stopped to buy something, there was some problem with my debit card not working, so I used another one and got charged twice, once on each card. They had been having a problem with chip cards that you insert rather than swipe. When I came back to ask about it, and get a refund, I figured it would be tough making my case. Freaking out imagining some stern and unyielding response and having to make my case. Because who keeps their receipts from a liquor store? I file mine on the floor of my car, lost forever. It didn't matter though. Problem solved immediately. The man who was working was genuinely apologetic, explained their situation with chip cards ( fixed now) and refunded my overcharge on the spot, no questions asked ! Plus a nice hug and a smile and more apologies. This wonderful care of their customers is just as wonderful as their diverse selection of spirits, their well-kept store and a convenient location. Pretty rare for someone to make it so simple and helpful. I will always go back. read more

I like this place. Right down the street from my apartment they are always more than friendly and remember your face when you come in. They could switch up the selection more but, its convenient and works when I'm on my way home and wanna grab a 6 pack. read more

I always buy my Powerball here but this team always goes above and beyond. A while back I was looking for peppermint essential oil and they had it. Today the toilet paper madness and he went in the back and gave me a four pack. I LOVE THIS STORE!!!! read more

eh, its ok, i go here to get that arizona green tea sometimes, the american spirits are overpriced like almost everywhere else in OB. I think they sell liquor up in there as well, but i only grab that green tea. Heads in there are pretty friendly even though sometimes i catch a cold ice-grill from em! read more

So after 9 pm when Baron's Market and Grocery Outlet are closed this becomes the best bet in the neighborhood to find some drinks to get your buzz on unless you don't mind 7-Eleven's limited selection. Guys working here are friendly. Other than that it is your typical neighborhood liquor store. read more

These guys are Awesome !!! Nicest owner operators in town. Huge Selection and if they don't have it in stock, they will get it for you. And the prices are great too. read more

I love this place. The guys that work here are the bomb. They all recognize me and always hook me up w/ something free! I LOVE U GUYS!!

Bought a 22 of IPA here, then drank it. Can't ask for much more than that. Staff was really nice to me for whatever reason.

Love coming here! Lots of selections and the people behind the counter are always nice and in a good mood!

The guys here are the best! Always friendly and smiling. I left a very expensive pair of sunglasses on the counter the other day. I didn't realize util the next day that I had left them. I drove over in hopes that I would find my sunglasses and sure enough the guys behind the counter had held them for me. So great happy to have my sunglasses back and to have such nice people looking out for their customers! read more

Tom and Mike are the best! You might think a small place would be more expensive but I have compared them many times to other places including bevmo and they win every time Riviera liquor is where you need to be shopping read more

FANTASTIC beer selection. BEST and FRIENDLIEST staff. They always know our face when we come in. We love this place.

Living down the street from this place always makes life interesting. They actually have a pretty good liquor selection...little on the pricey side for me since CVS next door is usually having sales on all alcohol...but they are easy in-n-out. The best thing about this place is that you can go in and grab a water, candy bar, coke, and bag of chips 10 days in a row...and pay 10 different prices...all rounded to the nearest quarter...and usually not rung up. Never had a problem here and the guys that run the place are cool and friendly. read more

Never thought I would write a review on a liquor store! But excellent selection of craft beer and the guys that work here are the coolest!! On the 4th of July one of them gave my husband and I these plastic beer mugs to drink out of and another time we were headed to the beach and didn't have a knife to cut the lime we just bought so he gave us one to use! Super friendly!! read more

Absolutely love this liquor store! I literally go out of my way to go to the riviera instead of the liquor that is closer to my house. EVERY TIME I go in there I'm greeted with smiling faces and kind personality. Never thought I'd write a review on a liquor store based on the staff but it truly does change everything! Life time customer. read more
