I have been to Yicks Liquor a couple of times and it's a cool small grocery store that I like going to once in a while!!! So far I have bought a small mini bottle of Jameson Irish Whiskey & I also like buying their frozen beef & cheese Piroshki that's what I like most!!! If you like eating beef Piroshki try going to Yicks Liquor that would be the only place that I like going to for their Yummy Yummy Delicious Piroshki!!! You have a choice of eating it there or take it home and eat the Piroshki at a different time!!! read more

Yick's Liquors - 《YAY I AM A REGULAR AT YICKS LIQUOR》 - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - San Francisco, California

See all

The guys that run this place are always pretty nice (how ya doin', etc). The guys at excelsior liquors down the street are complete jerks so I'll make the walk down to Yicks. They have a good selection of your standard-liquor-store-type stuff in a small space. Don't try bringing your baby here in a stroller, HAH. read more

I went in to get a drink and saw the deli. I got a ham and cheese sandwich. Come check out i was going to be short by 2 bucks. The guy still allowed me to get everything. I didn't get the stupid .50 charge like I did at the other place. All I saw in that place was everyone is welcome and lots of laughing and smiles. This is truly a rare and true San Francisco business that's left in this city. Well worth my time and detour from my normal routine. read more

Cramped and disorganized. Liquor store masquerading as a Mini Mart. Didn't have what I wanted.

Love this place. I have been coming here since I was a kid. The owners always remember me and are super sweet. I make it a point when I am in the neighborhood to stop in and say hello. You should too :0) read more

This place is a landmark in the Excelsior District. For those who've lived here long enough, Yick's is built where Doggy Diner once stood. Well, their old location was half a block futher down Mission, but their new location is the old Doggy Diner. Yick's is conveniently located on the corner of Mission and Persia, right at the 29 Sunset bus stop. Their store is clean, biggish, and full of non-expired goods. When you run out of ice, milk, canned peas, malt liquor, this place is a God send. I've known the owners since I was just a little kid, and they're some of the nicest folks you'll ever meet. I used to buy baseball cards from them, and I'm pretty sure you still can! All I can say is that this place is cool. Grab a handmade sandwich and some chips, then cross the street and hit up Bottom's Up (see my review). You can't beat that combo! read more

Guy behind the counter is always positive and says "my friend". Those little things matter, especially if you're having a not so good day. This place always have the cigarette I want and they give you matches. They open till midnight so hours are the hours great. read more

Yick's Liquors isn't your typical dark and dingy corner store - the aisles are a little cramped, but there is a HUGE selection of stuff in the spacious store space, so you'll definitely find what you need. They have an entire aisle devoted to all kinds of different candy and the entire front of the store (where the cashier is located) is lined with freezers that have a huge variety of frozen foods and ice cream/popsicles to choose from. They have a lot of chilled drinks in the refrigerators in the back of the store too. Sometimes there are some scary-looking tough guys hanging out in front of the store, but don't let that stop you from going in to get what you need! read more

These guys are my favorite guys on Mission street to run a liquor store! They always remember me, and they are fun to say hi to when I come in. They have everything you could possibly need, from coconut water, to tank tops. My favorite Yick's story involving said merchandise, was when a guy in a really bling bling Mercedes with tinted windows, rolled up and into the red zone in front of the store (which is widely considered Yick's parking from what I have seen). He hopped out, leaving the car running, while he went into the store. When he emerged a moment later, he was holding two white tank tops, and he took off the white tank top he was wearing, threw it in the garbage can next to the store, and put on one of the new ones, tossing the other into the back seat of the car. He hopped in and drove away sharing his music with us all. I felt like I was watching a scene from The Wire, which got me nostalgic for Bubbles! I loved him! I miss that show. But back to Yick's. I love their beer selection, and they have wine too. Just ask if you can see it, it's a bit hidden. Lots of snacks, and even jars or condiments and cat food if you forget to grab it elsewhere. Go see a super friendly family-run store of great folks while getting your items. They are the best! read more

Yick's Liquors is one of the best convenience stores I've been to and the owners are very friendly. The aisles may be a little bit cramped but they do have a wide variety of chips, snacks, beverages, and frozen treats there. When I'm at the bus stop across the street waiting for the 29 to get to school, I'd come here for a bag of chips and a bottle of soda in a moment of hunger and thirst! read more

Service and Selection! I can't believe how friendly and helpful the staff is at Yick's. I've only been a handful of times since my wife and I moved to the Excelsior and each time they have been amazing. They've let me bring my bike in and helped me pick out a six pack. Each time I check out they are so grateful for the business you would think I was the only person in the shop. I can't say it is an especially cheap place to buy craft brews, but the selection is far beyond what you would expect and the other goods and groceries are on point as well. Really, Yick's is a model liquor store. read more

i've been going here since i was probably about 5 years old, since the 29 and 54 stops right here. i always used to buy sour powers, now i usually buy schlitz, THE CLUB(tm) pina colada's, pork cracklins, bandanas, hats, black and milds, or sometimes the occasional hyphy juice that i proceed to bring across the street to bottoms up and mix it with a 1-cup of sake. my sister once beat a girl to a pulp in front of this liquor store and she also has had her car car jacked from here right here also. always good times. read more

Friendliest men in the world. They love their customers like family. And since this location is often a place where the town drunks hang out I really admire their patience and understanding. Also please don't judge the shop by the fact that a few boozers tend to dwell there. Everyone I meet here is pleasant, if occasionally Shlitz faced. Sam & George are my good friends. Plus they love my dog and will feed him pepperoni sticks on the house! Again: great folks! FIVE stars and that's a fact. read more

This is around the corner from my friend's place, so she comes here often. she has had a loyalty towards them since a little run in with safeway a few months back. some out of town friends wanted to buy a few bottles of alcohol to take back to canada with them, i guess the taxes are a little higher there. the "cashier supervisor" on duty at safeway said she had to purchase the items from him. he asked for id, but when she brought out her canadian driver's license, he claimed he couldnt accept it. so she went digging in her purse for her passport, and he blurted out, "forget about it, we dont sell to foreigners." what? as if sf is a bastion of white native-borns? the whole situation tickles me. anyways, she took the friend to Yick's, and got the same stuff for just a few dollars more, and the cashier was super nice. read more

I have lots of fond memories about Yick's. I've been going to this place since I was in Middle School, and visit here every now and then whenever I need a phone card or a refreshing beverage. Yick's carries a large selection for whatever you need, and the guys behind the counter are cool when you get to know them. Yick's will always have a place in my heart. read more

Yick's may have a large selection for a corner store, but if you are a girl than the owner will probably give you a hard time. At least, he always gives me a hard time, yet I go back because it is close to my house. He's basically a creep- but they do have a lot of candy, and a decent beer selection, and whatnot. read more

I love this place. They have all the treats I need a few blocks from home. Friendly staff who always recognize me and know what I'm after.

Yicks liquors rocks! Guys are super friendly and reliable! Thanks for all the good times.... read more

Yicks Liquors is run by a very nice family and I do business with them everyday and they give me a line of credit bc they understand. The two brothers, George and Sammy are very nice people and the business is located at the corner of mission and Persia. response Also, there food is a read more

I went to pick up a bottle of wine and most were not priced. They overcharge and dismissed me when I asked for something less expensive: "you don't want cheap, you have to put it in your stomach". I appreciate clear pricing, even knowing I'll pay more at the corner store! read more
