Why is this page only four stars when it is easily beyond a five-star experience?!…read more Sam and his brother Wes have always been exceptionally kind to me and provide some of the best customer service around. They always have an amazing selection of sours, fine whiskey, and wine. They even went above and beyond to help me put together a great variety of liquor for a Christmas party, and ever since then, it's been nothing but good vibes, great conversations, and genuine friendship. If you want top-notch service, an incredible selection, and people who genuinely care about their customers, this is the spot to go. You will NEVER be disappointed! Absolutely deserving of five stars and then some!

Having four locations around the Long Beach area with the name 'Corked', they seem to be related as…read morelocal family businesses (perhaps from the same origin), but with distinct ownership groups. My wife and I stopped in during a Sunday visit to Bixby Knolls, to stop into this store. The selection was a lot more than the typical corner liquor store, but one wasn't about to get wine or craft beer knowledge/advice from the one guy who was manning the checkout. There is an impressive beer walk-in cooler in the center of the store, so a lot of pre-chilled bottled beer available. My wife ended up buying a bottle of bourbon cream for a competitive price, plus it was easy to carry back home on the bus.

The customer service really stands out, too. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and genuinely makes you feel like a valued customer. Great selection, great people, and great vibes. Definitely a five-star spot!

Tell me why my total came out to $14. I asked the cashier why was it $14 and he nervously reads the items and he then says, "oh you didn't get a coke?" No coke in sight...he then removes the coke he charged me extra and said, "is that better?" Of course it's better when I am not paying for an invisible coke. Then on top of that most of the items are expired. Don't believe me go to the coffee where they have the Starbucks drinks they are expired. I know food can be eaten after the expired date but a month? How has this place not been inspected. This was my last time going there. Ask for the receipt is my best advice.

April 29, 2026…read more I've lived in Long Beach since 2008 and never ventured in this establishment until I did. I wanted my go-to beer (Stella Artois) and the store was out of it. I asked the person behind the counter if there was something comparable and he pointed out a Pilsner. Stella is a lager but I like Pilsner too. He described the beer as light and from a black brew master in Inglewood. Yes, I said Inglewood. I purchased two cans to try. The gentleman behind the counter is the owner and he was so helpful and friendly, I would support his business in the future. There is no parking lot, only street parking. i actually returned the next day to buy a 4-pack! If it's early enough in the afternoon, you might meet Dave, you is the unofficial store greeter who sits outside the store.

Prices are sometimes up to $5 dollars cheaper than competitor taco stands in the area and been to all of them and they are by far the best quality fairly priced food.
