We cased this joint the other day when we ordered takeout from Rizzo's Bakery which was directly next door. I was on the lookout for any wines from the area since I never found any from the New Jersey/New York regions in Los Angeles, and some Baileys to liven up the hot chocolate we've been enjoying in this cold wintery weather. Let's face it, I loved walking the aisles of any liquor store just to see the type of selection but also if there was something odd I couldn't pass up. Would this be a fruitful trip of libations galore!? PURCHASE Baileys Irish Cream Liqueur 750ml Bottle ($29.99): I loved Baileys either on its own over ice or added to hot chocolate which primarily was the reason for the purchase in this case - bottoms up https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=mGhj5PJ5r0IfrqqzNf_frw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! 2020 Wolffer Estate Summer In A Bottle Rosé 750ml Bottle ($25.99): I specifically looked for a white wine (I found a red earlier on my trip) from the area that I normally couldn't find back in Los Angeles, so this offering from the Long Island wine region in southeast New York was the only option that fit that criteria. A screw-off cap, watery dark pink color, sweet tropical aroma, low body, light sweet tropical flavor, crisp finish, dissipating cherry aftertaste, and low astringency - definitely something more suited for warmer weather but lovely nonetheless https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=Mn64ZcYSGgXDWk0QS-Swug&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. 2019 Chateau Haut Tuquet Bordeaux 750ml Bottle ($13.99): I've drank this bordeaux before, so it wasn't new to me. It had dark berries aroma, deep dark berries spices flavors, and a dry sweet aftertaste - an bold wine to be drank with a heavier meal https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=0yYdCjrcO6bKFDeR-x5plA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. SERVICE Greeted by a handful of friendly women, I asked for assistance from one who had beautiful cat eyes to show me any wines in my criteria. She was able to advise only a couple bottles they carried which I bought one of them. The rest was easily found by my friend and I. We checked out easily and wished everyone a Merry Christmas - yay! PARKING (FREE; N/A in this instance) We walked, so parking wasn't an issue. Otherwise, there appeared to be plenty of spots along the main drag of Central Ave. and all surrounding streets - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A small/medium store fully stocked with liquor, mixers, and wines on several aisle shelves and along one wall while there was a refrigerated section mainly with beer along the back wall, and a pay counter towards the front door. Everything was visibly labeled and carried a decent assortment of products. Plenty of natural lighting came through the large front windows and door while many electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were no TVs, but music played in the background. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=MCTIcakRMJdm_Q7KzAM6fg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw ATTIRE Temperatures were in the 40s, so I was bundled-up from head-to-toe. Otherwise, this place was totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL I always loved neighborhood liquor stores and Central Avenue Liquors was no different in my book. The comparable prices, good selection although they appeared to lack local craft beers, and great service also made this a good choice. And, it was always a pleasure to support small local mom & pop businesses like this one https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=9uKfZWwamWlWk214NV6rFg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. I found complete value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $75.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 5.0 STARS

I should've learned the first few times it happened, but chalked it up to new employees not paying attention to orders coming in. No...now I'm not fully convinced the people working there even know they offer delivery at this point. Three times now I've placed an order, waited an hour AFTER getting an order confirmation but no delivery only to call this place and have the people that pick up sound confused that they even have a phone not to mention people are waiting for a service. Each time they waited until I called THEM to tell me they're out of half of the things I ordered. This time I just cancelled - got no apology for their incompetence, no asking if I'd like to replace anything, they just hung up. Don't waste your time with this place. Your money's better spent literally anywhere else.

On Day 11 of my vacation as I visited a very dear friend for the Christmas and New Year holidays, we were in search of one of our favorite champagne bottles without leaving the area or having it delivered if we didn't have to, when we made a final stop at Webster Liquor. Located barely five minutes from my friend's place, we struck out at a couple other local bottle shops we visited earlier on my vacation. Apparently, this liquor store was very well-known and loved in the neighborhood which was heartwarming to hear and see. Would we find what we were looking for!? PURCHASE Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label Brut Champagne 750ml Bottle ($75.00): Truly one of my favorite champagne around, it was mandatory that we had a bottle of this for our New Year's Eve or New Year's Day celebration. One lone bottle without its box remained placed not exactly on the top shelf behind the counter sandwiched between two other lesser-known champagne. Thankfully, we lucked out on our final destination home or we had to go the delivery route. For sure, we paid more than at a chain or larger bodega which made us enjoy this even more once we popped the cork https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=wtIKfrSk3A5DBSrItPrPbQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Wise Onion Rings 2oz Snack Bag ($0.99): I loved all-things onion rings and salty snacks, so of course I had to try these! If you knew me at all, I always searched for brands of chips I'd never heard of before and if the flavors were unique or simply onion rings as was the case here, I could never resist. I opened the bag with glee, pulled one out, inserted it into my mouth, and let it dissolve a bit before I began to chew it. My immediate thought was how salty it was and how much it reminded me of those crispy fried onions on top of a green bean casserole - good but not great ... and I wish I had some Cactus Cooler soda to wash it down https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=MTBTUmIA5Czdkonpked6tA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. SERVICE Silently greeted by Max the shopkeeper, we cased the joint ourselves until my friend saw and pointed out the bottle behind the counter. He easily grabbed it, wrapped it in a brown paper bag, I took my chips in my hand, and off we went happy as two peas in a pod - easy-peasy! PARKING (FREE; N/A in this instance) We walked, so parking wasn't an issue. Otherwise, there appeared to be plenty of spots along the main drag of Webster Ave. and all surrounding streets - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A tiny store with one main alcohol display area in the center, refrigerated sections along the right wall, another smaller alcohol display are along the back wall, random canned food, toiletries, etc. on a shelf display along the left wall, a pay counter with the top-shelf items and smokes behind that towards the front, and racks of candy and snacks at the base of the counter. Not everything was visibly priced, and generally speaking there was a hodge-podge of merchandise but primarily liquor. Plenty of natural lighting came through the large front wall windows and door while soul-sucking fluorescent electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were no TVs, but music played in the background. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=ql5hsdbW0k8MAt9CvP-HlA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw ATTIRE Temperatures were in the 40s, so I was bundled-up from head-to-toe. Otherwise, this place was totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL I always loved neighborhood liquor stores and Webster Liquor, albeit probably smaller than my apartment, had its charm. As expected, the prices were comparably slightly higher (especially in the Veuve case), the selection limited and kept to top-selling name brands and lower-priced off-brands, and the service kept to a minimum. Bare-bones rickety shops like this gave close-knit neighborhoods their identity and soul that everyone appreciated. And, it was always a pleasure to support small local mom & pop businesses like this one. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $80.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip).
