It's a little undiscovered, which is always so special, particularly in Highland Park. You can bring your Triple Beam Pizza from next door, and enjoy the generous pours.

If you're in Highland Park -- or even just passing through -- do not skip Highland Park Wine. It's…read moreone of those spots that locals kind of want to keep to themselves but end up telling all their friends about anyway. It's tucked into this little complex that honestly just keeps getting better: you've got Hippo for dinner, Triple Beam for casual pizza, Go Get Em Tiger for coffee, and Kitchen Mouse just around the corner. The vibe is relaxed but thoughtful -- kind of like the shop itself. The wine selection here is so good. It's not just the usual suspects -- they've got bottles you probably haven't seen before, but everything feels really well-picked, never pretentious. Prices? Super fair. And on top of that, there's sake, craft beer, spirits, and even some great non-alcoholic options for your dry Jan that actually feel exciting. It's clear someone put a lot of care into building this place. Also, shoutout to the team -- every single staff is warm, helpful, and actually seems stoked to help you find something you'll love. That energy makes such a difference. And yeah -- there's even a parking lot, which in Highland Park? That alone is a win. Before you leave, do not forget to check the fridge. If there's a chilled bottle of Meinklang Mulatschak in there, grab it. Trust me. Take it to a pool day or a park hang -- it's the kind of wine that tastes even better in the sun, and you're gonna be glad you brought it. Cheers!

There's a lot in the back, but I usually grab street parking when I go here. The owners are very nice people! The tall dude is very friendly. If you like the Lakers, you're in. This guy always has the current Lakers game on the TV so chat him up about it. Always great if you want a little bottle of something. They have Jameson (no Bushmills sorry) and Jimador here, two favourites. Also beer (Blue Moon fans can get it here), a limited selection of wine and malt liquor. If you get tequila he usually has the limes. Limes aside, not much in the way of fruit, but your usual snacks, candy, chips, sodas, smokes and odds and ends (lottery tickets, lotto, condoms, hair gel/brushes) and such, as well as a few Latin American bottled drinks. They have Mexican Coke. Hey I'm all about buying American but not when American means I have to gulp down disgusting high fructose corn syrup crap instead of sugar. If a combination of fructose and glucose is your thing instead of sucrose (see, "sugar is sugar" is not chemically accurate) they have regular coke. It's right across the Highland Theatre, so you can always hit this before you hit the theatre (snicker). Please do your best to frequent local businesses. In today's economy, it's especially hard for business owners to stay afloat. You can help, and the more people shop, the more things improve!

They also have a good selection of bourbon/whiskeys too but pricing is high as well.

The owner is unnecessarily rude and aggressive and a racist!!

York Square Liquors…read more It's very Highland Park! They have a great selection of snacks, eats, drinks and all the little big liquor store things you'd expect, hope to find and desire. The parking is fairly easy with their shared plaza lot off York Blvd between Avenue 63 and Avenue 64, directly next to The OffBear Bar/Nightclub. On a very hot day I popped in for some beverages to hydrate. Everything was well stocked and easy to find and the guy on duty was friendly. Really impressed with the craft brew, spirits and wine here, they definitely know their local customers as well as passers through. It's rough around the edges, but keeps it's local charm. See a lot of discrepancies regarding service, pricing and other unique circumstances. I'm only been in here a handful of times so can't speak to any of it. I will say the York Square Liquors, at least to me and especially recently is very A-Okay!

I saw paper towels right on the counter and mentioned he could've just used a paper towel and he replied just don't do it again. Then he said, how can I help you? Haha.

Being literally a block away, Eagle Rock Market & Liquor is peak convenience for those last-minute "oh crap, I need this now" moments--whether it's snacks, drinks, basic household items, or a spontaneous lotto ticket when the jackpot hits yet another casual billion dollars (which somehow feels weirdly normal these days). Shoutout to the Latino gentleman who's almost always working when I come in--he's genuinely kind, polite, and welcoming every time. Customer service like that deserves recognition, especially amid all the grumpy internet commentary. Since my first review, the store has stayed clean and well-stocked, which to me says solid management and pride in the business. Just my two cents--but I'm always happy to support a local, small neighborhood spot that does exactly what it's supposed to do, and does it well.
