United Liquor - Taylor is in the right. - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - San Francisco, California

This is actually one of my favorite neighborhood Liquor Store/Deli spots in SF. It is definitely my go to when I'm down in The Marina. The store is large and feels airy with windows on two sides. It is definitely nice but doesn't fell snobby or too upscale. I would say most of my stops have just been to grab a Diet Coke while walking down to The Bay or The Presidio. I have grabbed beer here a few times while heading to the Beach. The prices don't seem out of line. Indecently, they keep Ping Pong Balls in stock, which is apropos in The Marina. It looks like they have a decent deli with Sandwiches and a lot of different items in the Deli Case. I haven't tried them yet - I'll update this if I do. Basically a good spot if you're in the 'Hood. read more

United Liquor - Bagel Dogs - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - San Francisco, California

This liquor/convenience store still gets the job done if you're in the Marina and need booze, house party treats (chips, cookies, coffee, etc.) and late night munchies. I still can't speak for their deli. I'm personally resistant to liquor stores who also promote themselves as a deli. I'm more partial to delis that just happen to sell wine/beer. And when it comes to booze, these guys offer great deals on vodkas, gins, and other spirits. You can get a bottle of Stoli Vodka for $12 and/or a bottle of Amsterdam Vodka for $10. That's pretty damn good boozy bang for your buck. The service here is still lackluster. I came in here recently for a quick purchase and the lady at the counter couldn't have been more unfriendly/indifferent. The store is currently under construction (so lots and lots of loud drilling/hammering). They had a sign behind the counter that said "Cash Only," so I figured that they might be undergoing technical issues. So just to confirm, I asked if I had to pay for my booze with cash, or if they might accept debit/credit card. The cashier just gave me a foul look and said "Yeah, we accept cards. Why?" I pointed to the confusing sign behind her, and she just shrugged and processed my payment. She handed me my receipt, didn't say thank you... and our relationship was over. But like I said in my previous review... who really cares? I ain't coming here to look for a new best friend. I'm just looking to get in and out quickly with affordable drinks and grub. read more

This place is the worst. I do not write reviews, but this place deserves one. The staff is extremely rude, arrogant, and just flat-out not friendly. The entire reason that corner stores/bodegas exist is for convenience. As a consumer, you understand that they are going to take advantage of you because they can, at a minimum you expect the employees and ownership to smile and treat you with respect. Every single employee here is miserable. This place robs you and treats you like shit. Not to mention the selection of liquor, drinks, and food is lackluster to stay the least. The location is the only reason that this place stays in business. read more

Looks like I am not the only one who thinks the workers should be taught a lesson in manners. The African American individual (note the omission of the word gentleman or even of man because gentlemen and real men don't act like this) could not have been more rude to a clearly very senior woman who came in Monday early evening. Yeah, she was slow, but she is also very old. I asked her her age actually. 90 years old! This joker was snippy, snide and obviously put out by having to help her. Hey Cupcake! She didn't hear your snide remarks. She is hard of hearing, or else she would have had an easier time hearing you! Duh! So you just made yourself come off as a bullying muttering fool. You proud? I have lived in the Marina for nearly 50 years and have finally reached my limit. I won't be coming back in this store anymore. Not that they care because, given the attitude, they obviously don't need/want patronage. A little advice to this joker and the rest- If you hate your job, get a new one. Don't inflict your ugly on other people. It's nice to be important, yes I know you are oh so important so hence your attitude (insert eye roll) but it's more important to be nice. Remember, if you are lucky to reach this woman's age, you will want to be treated with kindness and respect. Do you have an elderly family member? Would you like him/her to be treated the way you acted towards this woman? read more

I've been shopping at this neighborhood liquor store for many years. They have an ok selection. Service has always been lukewarm to slightly chilly, but I've tolerated it. Not anymore. Today, the older guy at the counter (possibly the owner?) was so rude, I couldn't believe it. I was purchasing 2 bottles of champagne; a $40 purchase. First, I politely asked if I could please get 2 bags so the bottles would be protected when I carried them. He glared and asked, "You want TWO BAGS?" Yes, I told him, with handles, please. He said "We don't have any handle bags". I said, ok, fine. He kept angrily asking me how many bags I wanted. Finally, I said, "Ok, just give me one bag." I didn't want to discuss it any longer. Next, Mr. Nasty rang me up and I started to insert my credit card in the machine. He snapped, "The machine will TELL YOU when it's time to insert your card!". I said, "Ok, I'm sorry." He continued to glare. I was marking the charge down in my checkbook and looking for a pen. Mr. Nasty handed me a pen from behind the counter. I thanked him. As we were completing the transaction, he said, "I need the pen back." I said, "Of course, here you go" and dropped the pen on the counter (my hands were still busy fumbling with putting my credit card away). He yelled at me, "You don't have to THROW THE PEN at me! You could HAND IT to me!". I shook my head in disbelief and walked out. Honest to God, what the hell is wrong with this guy? Seems like he is just ANGRY. If he hates his job and hates dealing with customers that much, he should leave. Based on other reviews, it sounds like I'm not the only one who has had this experience. And it's not even that great a store to begin with. United Liquor: you just lost a good, longtime customer. Buh-bye! read more

Been going here for a decade and never had a bad experience until today. The owner was working and was extremely rude. Yelled at me for grabbing bottle of alcohol and bringing it to the counter bc I missed a sign that's hard to read. Be kinder to your customers, especially for simple mistakes. Without us you wouldn't be in business. read more

The people here are incredibly rude. When you ask a question they give you attitude back and talk to you like you're stupid. I was yelled at when I asked if they crush dry ice and then hung up on mid sentence. The store itself may be good, but the customer service is 0. Do not go here if you would like to be treated with respect. read more

Bad experience here. An intoxicated man covered in feces and not wearing a proper face mask was belligerently harassing other customers, and the clerk could give two craps. In fact, the clerk was absconding the other customers for not approaching the counter... However they weren't approaching the counter because there was a belligerent, intoxicated man with feces on him standing at the counter, blocking it. See what's happening here? Marina Market is on the next block over and their selection is the same if not better. And for sure the shopping experience is better. And their staff gives a crap. PS: To be fair, there was another gentleman in the store who was very helpful and working very hard. , I wish he was ringing customers when I was there. read more

What's the point of working somewhere where you hate all your customers? Very hostile attitude from the workers that doesn't really work as a Seinfeld-esque gimmick - they don't smile once when engaging with anyone. Will close the store for a smoke break, which is rare for SF. Guess they don't need the business. There's a friendlier Marina Deli and Liquor down the street, I recommend them instead if possible. read more

An embarrassment to delis a kind the world. I found the staff to be rude. Many better options within a block or two.

Unbelievably rude checkout cashier. Freaks out if you tap to pay before he pressed the button and just glares at you. Boycott this place so we can get them out of our community. read more

Just had the worst customer service experience of my life here. I walked in looking to simply buy a pack of gum and ended up getting yelled at by the cashier (don't know if he is the owner or not) for having the audacity to try and pay with a $20 bill. When I tried to hand him the money he looked at me and said "Is that the smallest thing you have, you just need change huh? Do you not believe in banks?!". When I told him that was the smallest cash I had he angrily took my money and opened the register. Will never be shopping here again, if I had not been so taken a back by his response i would have just walked out and given my business to one of the many other stores in the area. read more

DO NOT BUY WINE HERE. They sell super old wine (not aged wine, old wine). We bought a bottle of Spinning Top and it was rancid. There goes $16 down the drain. read more

Pretty standard corner liquor store but also has a deli section (3.5 stars) but giving it an extra 0.5 star for good karma since I bought my MegaMillions ticket here for the $150 Million jackpot on Tues! Bottom line: Get your Bud and your turkey sandwich here. And wish me luck! read more

These guys have been here for a long time. I have never had a bad experience. Whenever I have a question, they answer comprehensively. For me, I always needs bags of nice for a bartending business I run and the staff always helps me load the ice into coolers and then my Jeep. Hard to find good service in this neighborhood but at United, they never disappoint. read more

Bad service, stubborn employees, outrageous prices. Find another place to grab your liquor.

This is a great local liquor store. The guys are cool and it's super convenient to get in and out of. I can always double park quickly when popping in for my 22oz sleeping pill on the way home. Kegs are pricey but convenient. I think I'll steer clear of the food. read more

I live on marina over 20 years. I always go to that liquor store. It's have everything I need: good liquor, fresh deli and all lotto tickets for good luck. People who work here are very friendly. read more

United Liquor - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - San Francisco, California

Really unfriendly customer service. Sorry to put you out for spending money at your store, my bad!

The gentleman working here was rude to the point of absurdity. As mad as I was at how I was treated - I almost instantly was laughing at how bizarre my experience was. read more

I was in there today and bought an ice cream bar and didn't realize that it was melted until after I paid and opened it. I showed the cashier and he wouldn't exchange or give a refund. I let him know how absurd that was and he said he couldn't do anything because he didn't own the place. I live there and go there all the time, but I'm never going there again and telling everyone I know that lives in the marina to never go there again either. read more

The liquor prices here are cheap compared to other mom and pops liquor stores. They have deals on certain brands too.

They opened up the deli just to make me a pastrami sandwich. The sandwich was great and so was the customer service. I see all the mixed reviews, but my experience was fantastic. read more

TERRIBLE SERVICE!!! the shopkeeper was ridiculously rude. my purchase came to $12.42. I gave him a twenty and then realized i had eight cents to add (to get $0.50 back instead of pennies). he slammed his register shut, raised his voice, and told me i should have told him that in advance next time. there will be no next time--i'm sticking to happy mom-and-pop places run by pleasant people. read more

I've been coming here for many years. There are many great wines here for under $10. They could charge more, but they are truly a neighborhood liquor store that everyone in the marina and cow hollow loves, and they keep their prices reasonable. These are good people, and this is the kind of place that earns your repeat business. Great red and white wine selection with reasonable prices. read more

Friendly people that work there and take care of me in the mornings with coffee and snacks! Also very convenient for those taking the bus at that intersection! :) Great neighborhood corner store! read more

Great place for wine, liquor, and any late night junk food..but not so much for a deli...in fact, the Saran-wrapped hamburgers and salads look kinda gross...But...it's a dog friendly establishment, and the staff love my Nacho... read more

I'm a little behind on the yelp review, this was from two weeks ago, but it still resonates as a really good sandwich. I remember very friendly service, generous portions of turkey, delicious bread and credit cards accepted. read more

Many thanks to Tom for your help when my car was hit by a yellow cab.

This place used to have legendarily bad customer service! But in the last few months they seem to have cleared out the old grey haired balding bastard and a couple other horrible employees, and they have replaced them with some good people that are super friendly! If you used to boycott this place like me you can put down your pitch forks and try again because it's gotten a lot better! read more

Ok... I just had the worst experience at united liquor and deli. The guys who work there are complete jerks... I mean, come on, how can you swear at a girl and tell her to get out of the way... Anyway, after my bad experience i went to the marina deli a couple blocks up and they treated me like gold... Don't waste your time going to united liquor & deli, they are trash. Oh yea, if you decide to go there, make sure to check your change after a purchase, they shorted my fiancé one time - could have been a mistake but after today I question it. Enter at your own risk... read more

The place is a dump. The staff/owner/whoever is rude. It's literally a block away from my apartment but there's no way I wouldn't walk the extra block to get to the Walgreens or Marina Supermarket a block further. read more

Chrystal makes an awesome sandwich!!! Stick to the salami and you won't be sorry-otherwise-great store for all your liquor needs.

I really dig this place, for a lot of reasons: convenience, selection and, overall, a courteous array of clerks However, I do have a real issue with one of those clerks, and I know I'm not alone and he clearly knows who he is. Twice now I've made a purchase of under five dollars and had to pay each time with a twenty-dollar-bill, which is all I had each time. This particular clerk rolled his eyes, asked rather snarkily if I had anything smaller, then pretty much threw my change on the counter without another word. The other day I witnessed a tourist buying a sandwich who himself only had twenties and and got the same crappy treatment -- rolling eyes, thrown change, no thanks or any other acknowledgment. I know this is small stuff, relative to what this store offers, but c'mon, if this clerk doesn't understand that customers -- the people that make his job possible! -- won't always have the denomination he personally prefers, he ought to find another line of work. I hope the store owners read this and shake this guy around a little, because they're going to lose business to nearby stores, if they haven't already. (I know I'll think twice about shopping there if I see that guy's working.) And if he's in fact the owner or one of them, here's a personal note: I hope you take this as a much-needed wake-up to how customers react to you. read more
