So, party plans and wanting some bubbly and I needed a tool for cocktails (they had it!). So, this place is New! (Feels so fresh which is a nice feeling) They had a lot of bubbly in the refrigerators! Fancy stuff for a host or Birthday gift. Great stuff. I was trying to keep it simple but they kept encouraging me to get to 6 for the discount and I did, which is fine. I will try some other brands I am curious about. The people here are super knowledgeable! There was a tasting going on which actually helped eliminate potential purchases. I am actually looking forward to the next time I am looking for white wines. They literally have everything & anything you might need in a more tidy situation. (Not popsicles like at another store-but beverages). Got a great Sancerre here too. Definitely check it out!

I jest but they do have a great selection of rare and sought after whiskeys that will make you the envy of your whiskey drinking friends, when you buy them. Their selection of Irish whiskey is great with the usual suspects in addition to some gems from small producers like Killowen.

I literally came in to buy some beverages, ice cream and gum, and I stumbled upon a 4-pack of soft two-ply T.P. just sitting there untouched on the shelf. I couldn't believe my weary, shelter-in-place eyes. It was like accidentally discovering the Holy Grail! Best of all, I didn't have to fight with anyone over it. There wasn't a long line out the door to grab a roll. It wasn't overpriced because of the demand. I just simply brought it to the cash register and paid for it. Amazing! As I've said in my previous review, this liquor store isn't in the best neighborhood of San Rafael. There are usually some transients and dodgy-looking characters hanging in front of the store. And on more than one occasion, I've seen broken glass on the street (which leads me to believe that there's the occasional car break-in). But if you shop here in the daytime, you should be fine. And it sure beats waiting in the long, crazy lines at Safeway. I was so happy about my Toilet Paper discovery that I treated myself to a bottle of tequila to use for my next Facetime happy hour. Thanks for coming to my rescue, Colonial Liquors!
