Everyone complains about the prices, but I like this place. The staff is quirky, and if you just need a beer on the way to Cheeseman it's a good spot.
Poor customer service over the phone too. in agreement with EVERYONE here. Lady yells over the phone "WHAT DO YOU WANT?" so I can only imagine how they treat people in the store.
In agreement with everyone else, I just spent $30 on a box of wine. The owner mumbled the price so I didn’t think anything of it until he handed me the receipt. They have never worn masks. They know people will continue to stop in as long as they are located in the middle of Capitol Hill and are not all worried about your opinion.
Owner is a complete sleazeball!! Prices aren’t listed anywhere in the store! Was in a rush so stopped here on the way to a buddy’s to buy a bottle of espolon and it wasn’t in their tequila “section” so I asked the sleazeball owner if they carry it and he grabbed one for me and rung me up. The sleazeball didn’t tell me the price until he charged me gave me receipt my back for $46 dollars. After asking if I can return this because I can go down the block and get it for $18 and the price wasn’t listed anywhere. He then asked me to leave his store. STAY AWAY FROM THIS LIQUOR STORE AND DONT SUPPORT THIS SLEAZEBALL OWNER
The recent settlement highlighting this racist owner is reason enough to not give this story my business ever again. Even before recent events, products have been overpriced in general, and the rung up prices vary every time I've bought something. It's as if they charge you based on your appearance and their particular mood that day. Plus, the selection is very limited. I highly recommend supporting another one of the neighborhood stores.
The older lady who is behind the counter owns the properties on both sides of the street. All in need of repair. She could care less about the neighborhood. Large graffiti tagged last month in front of her liquor store. I went in to ask her if she was going to clean it up as it degrades the neighborhood.. We live here. She laughed and said the city will do it. She is next to the Ace Hardware. A $5 can of Goof Off and 10 minutes would have done it. It took almost 3 weeks to have it removed. Now she has a broken window on the front door. That should be taken care of by next year. Don't shop there. Bad neighbor. Would score a ZERO if it was available.
As most reviews have noted, the employee was not wearing a mask. Unreal, do not shop here if you share the commonly-held belief that it is important to protect our community and take part in standard public health initiatives.
Do not shop here. The employee was not wearing a face mask the entire time I was in the store including when I approached the counter to pay. I stood away from the counter and asked why he was not wearing a mask. He rolled his eyes and gave a dismissive wave. Not to mention the store is dirty and ridiculously overpriced.
This is truly one of the worst liquor stores I’ve been to. 80% of the shelves are straight up empty, terrible selection of just about everything. Extremely old, dirty, and out dated. Cashier had Fox News on the TV and of course no mask. So much potential in such a great location just straight up wasted
When I shopped here a few weeks ago, I was disappointed to find a small, over-priced selection. I ended up walking away with a way-too-expensive 12-pack of Modello. The staff was also rude when I checked out. I had already decided not to shop there again, but after hearing recently about the owner's racist business practices, I decided to leave this review. Skyline Spirits is a fine liquor store, only two blocks north, with good selection and friendly staff. Please consider shopping there.
