Why is this page only four stars when it is easily beyond a five-star experience?! Sam and his brother Wes have always been exceptionally kind to me and provide some of the best customer service around. They always have an amazing selection of sours, fine whiskey, and wine. They even went above and beyond to help me put together a great variety of liquor for a Christmas party, and ever since then, it's been nothing but good vibes, great conversations, and genuine friendship. If you want top-notch service, an incredible selection, and people who genuinely care about their customers, this is the spot to go. You will NEVER be disappointed! Absolutely deserving of five stars and then some! read more

Having four locations around the Long Beach area with the name 'Corked', they seem to be related as local family businesses (perhaps from the same origin), but with distinct ownership groups. My wife and I stopped in during a Sunday visit to Bixby Knolls, to stop into this store. The selection was a lot more than the typical corner liquor store, but one wasn't about to get wine or craft beer knowledge/advice from the one guy who was manning the checkout. There is an impressive beer walk-in cooler in the center of the store, so a lot of pre-chilled bottled beer available. My wife ended up buying a bottle of bourbon cream for a competitive price, plus it was easy to carry back home on the bus.

I've passed many times over the years, but today was my first experience inside...and I was not disappointed. I will very definitely be back. Great shop in BIXBY. Thanks !! read more

Sam is so helpful and knowledgeable. I really appreciate knowing more about his line of work.

Such a wide variety to choose from! I was looking for a very particular item and called ahead. The staff was super helpful and I was able to get in and out quick. Very clean inside and I've never had an issuer finding parking so overall can't complain! Will definitely have to come back to see what else they offer read more

Atmosphere was very unwelcoming. Upon entering, the cashier at the counter started following me and my boyfriend around like we were thieves. God forbid we take longer than a minute to decide on what candy to pick. We tried to pay with cash but then he rudely pointed at the small sign that says "no cash". Big handle of Tito's was almost $40 but Ralph's has it for half the price so you're better off going someplace else with better service and pricing. The only kind employee was the woman who was taking some boxes outside. read more

They have such a great selection. I really like the variety of liquors and the specials that they have. I love that they carry things that usually I can only find back home in the Midwest such as Sam Adams cherry wheat and faygo pop. I am so excited that I finally got my hands on a bottle of Fortaleza read more

Corked - Hard to find tequila - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Long Beach, California

Customer service and selection is pretty amazing. Price point is a bit on the high side, but the selection is incredible. I found some beers here that I have never seen before. There is some sort of rewards program I think. Need to figure that out since I just bought a fair amount read more

This place in Bixby has a wide variety of wines, spirts and beer. They have a lot of options. I usually come here to grab tequilas, they have bottles of all kinds from all brands and prices. I have been coming here for years and will continue to do so. The service here is great, staff is helpful and will help you finding what you need to enjoy the evening. Their cigar selection isn't the best but they definitely have enough for a quick pit stop and go. read more

Unfriendly ,unwelcoming, felt like an intruder. The store appears nice and clean. The counter person? Not so much.

This place is a rip off. They were literally selling Busch light Apple for 14.99 a 4 pack . When a 30 pack is 20$ just. Because they are somewhat hard to get . Also anything remotely hard to get the price gauge like crazy. Yeah they might seem like they get stuff . But for 4x the price . read more

I am so impressed with this business, especially in their customer service. I went searching for an anniversary gift for my partner who loves a certain type of beer that is no longer distributed where we live. I found it on Corked's website and jumped on the opportunity to have it shipped to me. After ensuring I paid extra for shipping as I was in a time crunch, I messaged Wisam asking if it would get to me in time for the anniversary which was only in about a week's time, less with weekend days not counting. Not only did they prioritize my shipment, I got it two days earlier than expected. I am so happy to have my gift in time and also to have supported a small business. Thank you! read more

Just had a crazy experience here... It's been about 2 years since I've been here but I've been coming to this store since they opened because of the variety they offer. I had my Dad swing by last week, he was in the area and wanted Guinness. They are slightly higher than a chain but it's family owned and I support that... However.... After picking up some El Pollo Loco this evening, I made a last minute decision to stop by and get myself something. The floor plan is a little different now, I had to walk around the entire freezer section looking for what I came in for. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see someone wearing all black moving when I moved, following me, stalking me, I didn't know. I didn't think it was the security guard that was posted at the door but my second time around the freezer section, I paused , he paused... I looked over at the person. Young guy wearing all black. I swear he just took my picture and almost dropped his phone when I turned towards him. He's an employee that I saw when I first walked in. I'm sure he was only doing what he was told to do. There were about 4 other customers , all males, when I walked in but they were gone. It was pretty clear he was following me. I went back to the counter and asked the cashier for what I was looking for. She was very nice, told me where it was. I went to the right location, got it, then walked back to the cashier to pay. I'm not going to lie, I was a little discombobulated. I looked at the guy that was following me (he was now at the front of the store) paid for my item and left. WHY DID I SPEND MY MONEY AT A STORE THAT DID NOT WANT ME THERE. Damn. I will never go back. I've had the experience of being followed around the store because I'm Black or whatever reason business owners use to justify why they follow people around. It totally bothers me. Maybe it's related to what's going on in the world, I don't know. I never want to experience that again, so I will never go back to this business. Trying to weed out the bad customers, you weed out the good but I guess that's OK, right?! read more

What a gear place! Family run and a place for an experience not just a visit. Please take a moment to enjoy in your day and visit here!

Can't exchange return even if you just bought something literally a minute ago. Not worth shopping here

They were very helpful about a missing FedEx delivery. They refunded my money and filed a claim with FedEx. I would use them again. read more

Thank you to Corked for helping me stock up on rare spirits. First time there and looking forward to the Buena Park location and there grand opening. read more

Corked - Thank you to Corked. Almost completed my collection. Super nice people. Well stocked and very impressive place. - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Long Beach, California

This high end bottle store is top notch! Both of the owners Wes and Sam are very knowledge and have outstanding customer service. They have specially crafted this store from top to bottom with select liquor brands that offer a variety of exclusive labels. The store is designed really well and has a great ambiance and atmosphere that make you want to stay for hours! If I could give this store 10 stores I would! Highly Recommend this store, their amazing staff, and fantastic owners that make it a true experience. read more

2 stars since it's a clean store with a great selection of everything. Very cool store. But then you look at the prices on their higher end tequilas and whiskies it all comes crashing down. Then you buy a mystery bag and you wanna throw up and hit someone at the same time. Won't come back here regardless of ease or selection after their stunt of mystery bags claiming to be of value and it's all trash. read more

I always find great gifts here and exciting new ingredients for myself. Great selection plus friendly and knowledgeable staff here.

Still an amazing store to buy that bottle you can't find elsewhere. Best customer service and fair prices!

Great shop filled with all these best spirits, wine, and craft beers. Score some of my fav run from Costa Rica, and the Hamilton overproof which isn't easy to find. I also bought some of my fav NorCal beers from Russian River Brewing, Lagunitas, and Henhouse. read more

Verity of great selection. Awesome customer service, very helpful staff! Clean and neat. read more

This was my 3rd visit to Corked, I still am always amazed at my finds here. They have a great, huge selection of all kinds of alcohol n they have awesome promotional items that I haven't found anywhere else. Like the Gold Label Box (full size bottle and sample size bottles set of green label, gold label, and blue label with a voice recorder box!) Which I purchased for a good friend for his birthday (over a year ago which he still shows off to everyone he has over.) read more

As soon as I stepped in, I was blown away. I came in thinking that it was just a basic liquor store, but it was beyond that. I've never been in a store in CA (other than large retail stores) that had a wide selection of every type of alcohol you can think of. They even had a variety selection of soju and I've never been able to find soju, besides the Korean stores. Also, if they don't have what you are looking for, they will order it for you! My friend is into vermouth and wanted a certain brand. They said they would get it for him. The staff is very knowledgeable and very friendly. The prices are very reasonable and I highly recommend! read more

Corked - Staff recommended this champagne and it was so delicious! - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Long Beach, California

Uncorked and ready to unwind. I stopped by Corked this past weekend to explore their local selection of brews, and fill up during the quarantine blues! Sadly we arrived minutes before closing, but the Corked team was beyond kind, and provided recommendations for the perfect items. Since I've been on a bit of a seltzer kick, their lovely team member directed me towards the Belching Beaver Raspberry and Blueberry Seltzer. This delicious six-pack was instantly consumed! Outside of brews, seltzers, and ciders, this shop also serves a decent number of unique liquors, wines, and pre-made craft cocktails. If you're a fan of alcohol, or in the need of a buzz (let's be honest, we all are) Corked is a must. This is a great spot to stock up, find amazing cocktail ingredients, and expand your booze horizons. read more

Small place that has a lot to offer in the way of liquor. As I walked in I wasn't greeted. There were a few employees standing around behind the counter and I asked for help to find something and they just pointed me to where the liquor was instead of being welcoming and helpful and personally showing me where the liquor was located. The liquor was overly priced and even on their sale price it can be found much cheaper at other locations like the grocery stores. They wanted to charge me for a bag, so I asked for a veteran discount on veteran's day but nothing there nor a free bag, which is ok, not all places honor veterans on veteran's day with a discount or a free bag instead wanting to charge me 10 cents. However, they commented they can't do that because they are a small business. That is understandable since small businesses rely on profit so much. If you are a small business and you are going to charge much more on liquor compared to other places, then I would expect better customer service to make up for that, but that isn't there either. Very unfriendly at the register ringing things up like they didnt want to be there or they were bored out of their mind. So, I will take my business elsewhere. I like to support small business but there has to be some effort on their part to be customer oriented (greeting, helpful, pleasant, welcoming) and that there were poorly lacking. read more

Great selection of varieties of liquors, wines, and craft beers... top to bottom shelf, this is the place to go. I personally like bourbons and they have everything there from well known brands like Knob Creek and Buffalo Trace to favorites like Old Fitz, Michters, And even the Pappy. Ask for Sam he's a good guy and knows his stuff well (B.T. Experimental especially). read more

Super nice and attentive staff with great recommendations. Craft beer selection is decent but not a lot of single can options. Definitely recommend stopping by! read more

What an amazing store!!! I randomly stopped in a few weeks ago and wow, am I glad I did. I met Sam and Wes who are a couple of great guys. I had a lot of bourbon questions and they're knowledge is on another level! Over 1300 whiskeys in the store!!!! This is a whiskey lovers paradise. They seemingly have every impossible to find bottle and they're prices are very competitive!!! Great guys and a great store! This is my absolute "go to" store now for any and all liquor needs!!! I highly recommend stopping in and taking a look yourself; you won't be disappointed. read more

7.17.22 @ 2 PM * I came in to purchase some drinks for lunch with friends. There was so many choices I couldn't make up my mind. Ended up getting a 12 pack of assorted ACE Cider. And Ice! They have ICE bags; in 2 sizes! I wanted a koozie (expecting to buy) but the guys at the register gladly handed me one. At NO charge! They were really helpful and even threw in a couple hard seltzers I was asking about! My friends really enjoyed the ACE Cider pack. read more

Great selection of alcohol here that's a fact. BUT.... Came here after trader Joe's with my two kids and was approached by the security guard. He gave me a hard time because I brought my kids inside. I understand if they are running around and disturbing everyone inside or making a mess with the merchandise, my kids were quiet and well behaved and the security guard would not stop following me around. It did make me feel uncomfortable. Not coming here no more. Taking my business elsewhere. read more

Amazing selections. Love his enthusiasm and knowledge of spirits!! What a gentleman! Can't miss this spot!

Sam was amazing. Super nice, gentlemen. and so informed on all things wine. His cigar lounge was epic and not to be missed. If you are in the area don't miss this place!! read more
