I don't usually find myself in Oceanside, but I stopped into Big Liquor on a whim--and I'm really glad I did. Right away, I was impressed by the personal touch from the owner, who clearly takes pride in the place and knows his stuff. They've got a fantastic craft beer selection and prices that are more than fair. As luck would have it, I came in on the right day--Busch Light Apple had just landed, which only comes around every few years. Total score. I also grabbed some snacks and a few other essentials for our adventure that day. The whole experience was quick, easy, and friendly. Definitely worth stopping in if you're in the area--or even if you're not. read more

Great selection of wines, craft beers Tequila, groceries and everything else Nice family as well read more

Customer service is amazing both in person and over the phone. Great selection and prices. This has been my go to store for years and I will never change my mind . read more

I believe in lasting relationships, as does Sam and the great folks at Big Liquor right out the back gate of Camp Pendleton. I could shop tax free on the base, but I assure you I would have never found this fine collection, nor the great customer service exists to find deals like this! If you are familiar with the Boss Hog collection, this is THE cats meow! Sam, his son, and his "whole team" are terrific! They treat everyone with a smile, and phenomenal service!! They are all affluent in "many" languages; and I've even seen them pay their customers' bills who forgot their wallets or were short of the total. No photocopy of your credit card, just an agreement to see you tomorrow. Truly TOP Shelf, and I cannot recommend them highly enough!!! I have a very large collection of great Scotches, Ryes, Burbons and Tequilas, but this is to highlight the Boss Hog collection. Enjoy, & Thank you Sam; Big Liquor - and your entire team to include the "Security Dogs" whom I love as well! Cheers! Ron read more

Big Liquor - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Oceanside, California

Great place to shop at , large variety of liquor,Beers, wine,Rare Bottles and more. Very friendly staff. Strongly recommend it.

By far the best liquor store in Oceanside. Big liquor has been a staple in the community and everyone working there treats the customers with respect and like family. Great selection of whatever your drink of choice may be. Huge wine selection and hard to find beers always in stock. Highly recommended! read more

Museum prices! Great selection, but prices 2-3x MSRP or more! They advertise items available on Drizly for half the price in the store and when asked about it they replied they deny Drizly orders. Why even list or act like you participate in Drizly when you don't even entertain it? Save your money and time and go elsewhere. read more

these people will sell you cans of zyns after stealing the reward codes underneath (zyn rewards). then they'll tell you that the cans were repackaged due to "faulty packaging". they are liars and thieves read more

I've been coming here for over 10 years. I really like all the people who work there and they are more than happy to help with questions or recommendations. Some of these reviews crack me up since some of you clearly can't do math correctly or you can't open your mouth to ask questions about items, yet have no problem being keyboard gangsters when something doesn't go your way. read more

Great store!! Ample selection, organization is amazing, and Sam is the best! I will be back for sure! read more

Big Liquor - a view of a liquor store - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Oceanside, California

Been going here since I was a little girl. Sammy is like family and the staff is always nice and helpful. Remodel is also so beautiful

I just wanna say I just bought liquor from here thinking the guy was nice and once I got rung up by the other man I noticed my tequila was $24 and then when I looked again after the manual input it then said the price was $35 after tax. I thought it was a bit weird and I looked it up and it was $24 everywhere and they up charged me. Not only that why would you scratch my price tag off on the top. You can keep the $10 I just won't go there ever again. read more

Used to love it here. Now, they've gone downhill. They have their open hours posted until midnight, but I've tried to go there at like 8 or 9 pm sometimes and they'll be closed already! Their prices have gone up insanely in the last few months, and they have this manager working there now (his name is Max, supposedly) and he is the most disrespectful, unprofessional worker. He straight up refused to cash a check for me (even though they offer check cashing according to their sign/website) because it's his "policy" that he won't cash a check I had already signed prior to arriving to try to save time. Mind you, THE CHECK WAS WRITTEN TO ME. Don't advertise a certain service and then make up these "policies" just because you're too lazy to do your job. He laughed and told me I shouldn't be so stupid. Well, the joke's on him... he's the stupid one because that store has now lost a longtime, loyal customer. Shady people. read more

This place had started an order thru Uber eats for me. It was long past the estimated time for delivery, so checked the app and they were closed. I canceled my order when I saw that. Uber/this place still charged me over $100 because they said this place 'started my order'. Uber won't do anything as far as a refund goes. I will never use Uber or shop at this place again. read more

Worst run business I have been to on sometime. I asked for two bottles on the shelf marked at 199.99 each. The owner came and took them from me and asked me to wait. He made some calls and said no they were now 299.99! I ask why and he has the audacity to get loud with me! Disrespectful and just greed. STAY AWAY. Go anywhere else. read more

Best liquor store in Oceanside. The treat their customers like family, any selection of drinks they have and if they don't they will make it happen. Sam and Vincent keep the store up dated and their customers smiling. Great job on the remodel as well looks AWESOME!!!! read more

Wide variety of alcohol and liquor, but they over price everything! Went in for 2 bottles of Teramana tequila but they only had the small bottles. They have decided to price these small bottles as the main large bottles crazy! Told the guy to cancel the transaction and refund my money, but decided to give me attitude and kick me out the store since I requested my money back. Will happily not be coming back. read more

All the workers here are super friendly! I'm glad that this is my new liquor store, as I just moved to the area recently. I recommend them definitely! read more

Ive spent over $500 of my own money here on alcohol I was always loyal until today I went to buy a disposable vape today. I spent $30 on this thing and the first hit I took was burnt af I told the short little guy that it was burnt and he tried telling me it wasn't lmao. He refused to give me a new one or my money back. Obviously they let straight up scumbags that are really hurting for $30 work at their business read more

I just purchased this at big liquor it is some coffee creamer, I had asked the man at the register to read me the date of expiration,and first he stated it was April then he said June... we'll let me tell you folks I purchased this just 2 hours ago on today's date (03/17/18) and the coffee creamer is almost 2 months past code date 3.19$ for 2 month old VERY smelly coffee creamer. This place needs to be shut down due to their dishonesty it looks like a lot of people get "over charged" by these freaks... make sure you check your dates guys!!!!!! read more

Big Liquor - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Oceanside, California

See all

This place has been here for years and the owners are the no-nonsense type of guys. They are nice but I know for a fact that they have Doberman pinchers and also own a few handguns. Someone already tried to rob them but it didn't end well for the robber. This place is not in the best of areas so keep that in mind when you're here. This isn't a fancy liquor store so just get what you want and leave! read more

I regularly buy all my goodies from here, management is amazing and I always tip for their generosity to help bring my "groceries" when i get a bundle of alcohol lol. I've made great friends at this spot, and I always go every weekend to stock up on my wine and Puff Bars from here and they never fail to amaze me with reasonable prices and excellent customer service. Will forever shop here for all my necessities ! read more

This place is awesome and super convenient the selection is outstanding, the prices are comparable to grocery's stores with the connivence not to mention the store is very clean and the workers are very kind and helpful. The name of the store matches inside very well because the place has a BIG selection of everything thus the name BIG Liquor. 5 stars for me thank you big liquor ! read more

BIG selection of everything! The craft brews are excellent, and it's in a convenient location that's been there for a long time. I've been coming here for a while now. Never had any issues, in and out with exactly what I need. Thank you big liquor fam!! read more

Hard to believe the other reviews I've read when I've never had nothing but an amazing experience here! Always friendly and appreciative of my business. Great selection of crafts and some nice aged options for the hard stuff! Been coming for years & will continue to do so thanks guys! read more

Crazy selection of wine and liquor to choose from. The guys over at Big Liquor are so kind and friendly. Easily can walk in get the liquor that i want and walk out. read more

If I could give them zero stars; I could. The general manager yelled at me when I parked because he assumed I wasn't a customer. They didn't say anything when two white consumers parked in front, but yelled at me when I parked with my friend who is Hispanic. I was made to feel very uncomfortable and the 7/11 next door is far superior in both selection and customer service. read more

Super friendly staff. All of my family and I have been going here for years. It's conveniently down the street from my house

BIIIIIGGGG Liquor. The closest place to my house to buy some freakin booze. Fortunately I kindof love this place. It's a little scary on the outside but the guys that work here are surprisingly really friendly. For some reason they always give my roommate free gifts... maybe it's because we buy so much damn booze here?? Not sure. Anyway, this place has pretty much everything for a great price. Feelin a little lushy? They have jugs of wine a'plenty! Wanna get your fiesta on? Try their many varieties of Tequila. Want something sweet? Check out the 'red swedish fish' flavored vodka. The list goes on and on. Not only does BIIIGGG Liquor have booze.. they also have hookah! (yay!) We bought a hookah last night and it was only $20! Chargers fan?? Well, they have Jerseys! ( I know, they really do have everything. ) If you live in the area and you feel like gettin your drink on this is definitely a good place to get your supplies. ;) read more

Worst Customer Service Ever! The Owner. Did not want to bother with a Western Union Funds exchange. Was told almost immediately to come back at 7pm (7hours away). read more

Watch out, these people are thieves, I moved over here recently and this store was close by, every time I go they charge me a different price for my cigarettes, the only honest guy is a guy that works sometimes in the afternoon he charges $9.15 every time, the other guys always charge me a different price everyday of at least $9.75 or more. It's not much and I would give it to them if they asked, but it still leaves you feeling like they think your stupid, so i go to shell gas station now, a little further, but at least they are honest. At the big liquor they are dishonest. read more

Dishonest owners and employees at this place. Pay with cash, they have added multiple bogus charges to my credit card. Better yet, go to the 7-11 next door, their prices are better and the people are much nicer. read more

Ive gone here quite often to buy beer. They never have price tags on their beer and when I get rung up the cashier always has to ask another guy how much to charge. I have bought many of the same items and always had a different price. I was getting overcharged anywhere from 3 to 8 dollars. Very dishonest place, DO NOT waste your money here. read more

I love shopping here whenever I am in the area! The store itself is super accessible and the layout is very helpful and can easily find what I'm searching for! Service is very friendly and always walk out of here laughing read more

This two Mexican workers that are supposed to be in charge of this place at night over charged me $55 dollars on a 6-pack and two tall cans! I got home check the receipt and woow! I had to drive back to the store. I'm a regularly costumer and they couldn't do anything about it. They told me to take more time out of my day to go back the next day! The worker got so nervous that decided to take money out of his wallet and throw it to me and started Yelling all over the place. What type of bs is this. This store sucks with costumer service! read more

THIS PLACE LIKES TO RIP PEOPLE OFF!! Whatever you do USE CASH!!! They like to "Accidentally" over charge people!! They over charged me 100 extra dollars, so I went in the next day and got my money back, however Frank was rude about it, even though it was their Mistake!! BAD SERVICE OVERALL! read more

Always helpful service with a a great selection of beverages. The hours are solid hours and the service always is quick and friendly. No hassles and they remember who you are and greet you kindly when you walk in, they have a friendly little guard dog who I always enjoy seeing as well. Al in all great place for your liquor or quick snack needs. Thanks fellas read more
