Amazing place! Always recomend this place to anyone I know! Anytime I want to try something new I always ask for recommendations and they never disappoint! Workers are awesome to talk to and always super friendly! 10/10! Gotta go back again and pick up my favorite wine soon! read more

This update is long over-due. The manager/owner wrote in response to my last review, to tell me it was now new and things were different and apologized. But I had not gone back until a few months ago. YES, he was telling the truth. New people, seems like a family because the two on the floor were brothers and EVERY time I go in now, one of them helps me with my beer purchases. He now knows what I like and will recommend new things. He has been there every time and you can tell WANTS to help you find what you like. Thanks, guys. Sorry for the long wait in my update. read more

Clean store, detailed with an awesome selection of spirits and craft beer! Great customer service too!

Insanely great selection for whiskey. I love this place, they've got anything you're looking for and the staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. Shout out to Sophia (or Sofia?) for the help today with selecting a good rye to go with my cigars. read more

This is a fantastic beer and liquor store. The people who work there are exceptionally helpful and the liquor specials are unparalleled. Very few other stores get this many great bourbon barrel picks. I highly recommend. read more

What a tremendous store , every single recommendation from the owners of this business has and continues to be a hit at parties or when looking for gifts for friends ! Tremendous service , great ambiance and the warmest customer service I've seen in a while - Five stars all the way !!! read more

Wow! charging me 1.20 CRV for one beer can. The salesperson doesn't give itemized receipt most of the times and I finally realized why... I would rather visit on at Stearns. read more

Corked - Charging 1.20 USD for single can - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Long Beach, California

Worst customer service I've ever had. The clerk was annoyed that I even asked him for help. He never got off the phone and then kept texting while he rang me up. I get if you don't want to be there but c'mon!!! read more

Calling for three days straight and you can never get somebody to pick up that phone in that store I don't know how they want your business when you can't even ask if they have it in stock read more

It's always nice coming to this location. Whether I'm looking for the next new beer/seltzer, or looking for a specific item, the staff here always helps me make it happen. Great selection, with a friendly staff! read more

The service is incredible here. The owner is kind, knowledgeable and is always there to help

Really great staff and nice assortment of craft beer and wine! After coming by a couple times, the staff reccommend me a couple of other drinks to try and they're really on point! The store is well stocked and everything is well organized. Would highly recommend! read more

This is probably one of the best liquor stores you'll ever find not cause of the huge variety of drinks but cause of how it's run it's people who are all close to each other and run it as a family so when you walk in you fell welcomed don't listen to what other says always trust loyal customers and I'm one of them this place always has the best vibes and friendly service ever the workers go above and beyond as well as the owner I can't wait for the new location to open by my house cause I'll go here any day of the year then some big name store like Walmart or target or any place if I could give ten stars I would Corked and it's people are the best of the best and always give the best of the best and I recommend always to tell my friends and family about this place cause they will find something they like and just enjoy coming here like I do read more

Awesome selection!!! Came across this place by chance today and was delighted by the choices, for beer, wine and spirits!! I found Japanese Whiskey which I've never seen in the states before, stuff that's even hard to find in Japan! I don't purchase spirits too often but saw a lot of stuff I've only previously seen in restaurants but not sold in retail big box stores. The beer selection is also amazing, and I love that they have a lot of local brews like Beachwood, Ballast Point, Strand, etc. And then there's the wonderful wine room in the back. I found a few bottles of stuff I haven't seen at my local stores, ended up buying a Quicksilver Nickel & Nickel, looking forward to opening that :) As some other reviews say, pricing can be on the higher side for some items but A) that's expected for boutique stores and B) on average for most items it's just 3-5% higher. And for the items that you cant get at your local big box, i don't have a reference point and i also don't mind paying a bit more ;) The girl at the cashier today was super helpful and cheerful, so customer service was wonderful as well :) Am looking forward to be back again!! read more

Asked for pricing on a bottle of blue label they said they don't give pricing over the phone and hung up on me lol, sure way to gain business read more

Amazing shop with great tasty drinks!! The staff are friendly and super helpful! Absolutely respect the store owner Wisam who is wonderful and pleasant to talk to with any questions!! read more

Corked hands down best customer experience anyone will have. The staff and owner are amazing people who's knowledge will help beginners and experts in whiskey (spirits) and cigars. This is a must for anyone looking for the best experience and knowing you will be told what is the best bang for your buck. They will tell you what is good or not regardless of their profits. Anyone into bourbons like myself need to go here. Supporting business like this is what keeps our neighborhoods great and foster a sense of community. Stop bye and learn about what you are buying and enjoying. Cheers to this great establishment read more

Me and my friends were so excited to get our drink on, it looked so cool from the outside. So disappointed!!!! As we were walking in, we hear someone say "is that a service dog??!" In the most annoying high pitched voice. First of all, my little 3 month old dachshund!!! Aka my little son! Was kicked out. Well if you're not gonna allow dogs in your store, maybe having a sign clarifying this rule would be a good idea. And even better idea is firing the chick in the front. She didn't even greet us, all she cared about was kicking my little pup out. And I was carrying him by the way... such a threat. Thursday at 5:40pm August 23rd 2018. All I wanted was beer. Great. read more

Corked - My poor pup got kicked out. Maybe getting a sign saying no dogs allowed would be nice. - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Long Beach, California

This place over charged for everything. They charged over 30% compared to prices at othet stores. They didn't even give a receipt. We go here all the time but seeing them taking advantage of customers, especially during Covid 19 is unacceptable. They will not receive my business anymore. read more

Ok so this is my new favorite place to shop for alcohol not only are they friendly they're knowledgeable about the liquor, the store is neat, in order, and spacious, my honey and I were buying a birthday gift for my brother and we ended up with a 10year aged D''usse thats sooo smooth! Did I mention they have Cigars? Ok well they do!, and guess what? They're knowledgeable about those to! One stop shopping right here! read more

CORKED is a new and revamped wine, beer, sundries, and spirits store formerly known as Liquor Town. The interior is pleasing to the eyes with bottles laid out nicely throughout the aisles. It has a much classier look than the general liquor store. New owners definitely have taste. Great wine selection from many places. Imported and whatnot. Awesome workers who are personable. It's located smack dab in Bixby Knolls where First Friday's take place. I didn't take any photos as my phone battery died. But I plan to revisit... I have wine bottles to buy for gifts and or parties! I plan to provide a better review. Parking can be limited in parking lot but there definitely is street parking! Come on First Friday's! read more

I'm not saying I'm the authority on Bottle shops and liquor stores however I have frequented my fair share of them. This location is in my humble opinion one of the best in Southern California hands down. This is a family owned and operation, however you would think it was managed by a Fortune 500 company as they have every detail polished and refined. Sam and Wes have curated one of the most impressive collections of beer wine and spirits that you could wish for. The wide selection is impressive but the ambiance of this location is equally thought out. The exterior is clean and well signed. Upon walking in to the establishment you can see that they have spared no expense and the attention to detail is pervasive throughout. It really feels as if you have just walked thought the door of a bottle shop you might find in a high end casino in Las Vegas, minus the overpriced bottles. Which leads me to this, Corked is very conscious of their pricing and their competitors they are always fair and finding new ways to bring value to their customers across the board. In case you couldn't tell I am a fan of what Sam and Wes have created here and I would Highly recommend that you check them out for yourself. I am a local of Orange County but I make it a point to travel to Long Beach on occasion to see what new items I can find at Corked on Atlantic. Thank you guys for offering the best products at a fair price in a safe and beautiful environment. I will look forward to being a long time customer and seeing what new and exciting products you bring to market. read more

I made the trip from West LA to get my Father in Law's favorite wine for Christmas. The staff was super helpful securing another 3 bottles of Cabernet for me that was hard to find. Won't be my last trip! Support small business!!:) read more

I love this Bixby gem! The owner/staff are so pleasant and offer great recommendations! Highly recommend this place!

Been meaning to see what Corked was all about. I have to say I was really pleasantly surprised by the selection offered and the level of service provided. The store looks somewhat smaller on the outside, but it's fairly spacious and they've managed to get in a lot of selection of beer, wine and liquor. Pricing is on par with other similar stores, sometimes a bit more and sometimes a bit less. They do have these red tag specials that can be pretty affordable. They also have a chilled beer room and a wine cellar. Definitely don't be shy to ask for help. The guy helping me was super informative and helped me pick out items for myself and to give as gifts. This place is definitely worth a visit! Stay Cheerful ;) read more

This might be my new place to shop! There's so many options, I love it! The staff were friendly too and were able to answer my questions. I haven't yet bought a wine bottle but that's for my next visit. read more

The best liquor store in Bixby.. Always has what I'm looking for. Cashier was very nice and shout out for great customer service!

Came for a quick pickup of Sweet Vermouth in a pinch. Happy they offer a large variety of needs for your boozin'! In and out!

The prices here are insulting. When they charged 10% or 15% more than TW&M I was fine to pay the local little guy for convenience. But 42% more? Eat a bag of... read more

Corked location on atlantic Ave this is a remarkable place to purchase some good drinks. Very well good location to choose some very nice drinks. Very big selection. Some items you think you wouldn't find i found here. Lots of cold IPA beers can be found here. If you haven't been here let me say brother or sister don't miss out by not stopping here read more

Phenomenal selection and place looks great, but prices are INSANELY marked up for nicer bourbon. I get that secondary prices are a thing and you want to make a profit, but wow. Was just trying to take a closer look at prices and wanted to show my friends the selection, so sure, I pulled out my phone. Man who was working the counter who didn't bother to even look at us throughout our browsing the rest of the store abruptly said, "Sir, no pictures". If that's store policy, maybe you should have signage that indicates that. Clearly trying to hide the fact that their prices are absolutely ridiculous. I even went back outside and looked around the store to see if I made an honest mistake by missing any signage about this policy. Completely off put by the rude attitude and prices. Was debating purchasing other more reasonably priced items but I'd rather support anywhere else that's friendlier which isn't hard to find. read more

This is my go-to when it comes to craft beers and hard to find whiskey. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and always responds quickly when I have an inquiry via Instagram. This place has an array of brands that you won't find in a typical store. I wish I could keep this place a secret but it would do a great disservice to this family owned business. Do yourself a favor, don't hesitate to check this place out. Keep up the great work guys! read more

I'm glad they have closed down any bottle shop like this one... we need more spots like Corked with all the goodies. Do your self a favor before Xmas specially if you're gonna be spending it indoor and come thru Corked and grab your self some goodies!!! Speak to the staff and they'll guide you to the good stuff no problem. read more

Honestly, this is your one stop shop for all of your alcoholic beverage needs. It's like... Bevmo who? I live right down the street and have been coming here for a few months now. They have a wide variety of alcohol from top-shelf specialty items to the usual liquor store finds. The staff is very knowledgeable and will always steer you in the right direction if you can't decide! I don't really smoke cigars but I know they sell them here as well. But honestly, I'm leaving this review because Sam and his family runs a great establishment and certainly go the extra mile to make sure you find what you're looking for. So solid. 10/10 would recommend. read more

They have a wide variety of beers! I personally came I'm looking for Kombocha Beer and found it. The service was fast and friendly. Cool shop on Bixby Knolls! read more

Always a great experience and very helpful and informative. No better place to go for good pricing and selection.

Very nice selection, ideal for those who want $40 or less bottles, for the high end they are 30+% more. However if I need something that I can't find and willing to pay the premium, I'll stop by read more

If you love quality, then Corked is your place. From Japanese whiskeys to the finest cigars, you've found the right spot. If whiskey and cigars aren't your thing, they've got a great array of wine, champagne and IPAs. Every time I come to Corked, I find something new. 5 star service too! read more

Love this place. Has everything you are looking for plus some. When the selection is so grand you can't decide on just one thing. My new place for everything wine, beer, and liquor. read more

Shady business owner. Stay away. Bought a $43 bottle of Canard champagne but it was a flat bad bottle. We called the next morning and the owner said "he would take care of it." We explained that we weren't local and couldn't come back until the next week. We drove all the way back with the intention of changing out the bottle and buying more, but owner decided to be shady and said he would only give us $20 credit for it because we didn't have the liquid. No didn't keep flat champagne for a week- we told him this on the phone. Save your money and go elsewhere. Either this guy doesn't know how to store his products to avoid them going bad, or he doesn't understand wine. Some times you get a bad bottle- but any reputable place would make it right instead of being greedy and ripping customers off. read more
