I have nothing but good things to say about their retail business. They have lots of rare and…read moreharder-to-find wines. They are a great retailer, very knowledgeable of wines old world and new. They have a fantastic selection. My issue is with their auction business, which I think they have very little they can do about it as they are taking the word of the sellers that the bottles have been properly cellared. Multiple Aubert Chardonnays (2014-2017) bottlings, top end, have been clearly past their prime despite being in the start of the prime drinking window, and one bottle that was very tired. So it seems to be less of the "rare bad bottle" problem and more of a systemic issue with some of their sellers. I'll change this review if other such start-of-the-prime-drinking-window bottles through K&L prove to show they are drinking well and increase the ratio of good to bad items. I have a lot more of these bottles to test. Edit: may 2026 - a few more Aubert Chardonnay's going back to a 2018 Eastside were opened and we're all spectacular, crisp and peaked. Our stats are much better now on the aging of chards through the auction. Changing to 5 stars.

The person who assisted us was friendly, patient, helpful with our request and navigated us to a bottle based on his suggestion. He provided a history of its origin and the reason he recommended it.

We went red and were satisfied with our selection, happily finishing off the bottle during our time at Arbor - next door.

Their wine selection is huge, with bottles from all different regions and price ranges. The staff were extremely helpful and welcoming, taking the time to answer questions and give recommendations without making me feel rushed or overwhelmed. I ended up going with this beautiful bottle of Chianti Classico and it definitely felt like a great choice for the occasion. The shop itself also has a very calm and cozy atmosphere that makes browsing enjoyable. You can tell this is the type of place made for people who genuinely enjoy wine, whether you're experienced or just trying to find something good for dinner. Definitely a spot worth checking out if you're looking for a quality bottle of wine, a thoughtful recommendation or just want to explore something new.

If you're in dogpatch, this is probably the only liquor store game in town…read more I would be much more upset about this if it wasn't a solid liquor store. They put more effort into groceries than most - there's a variety of brands and quality for the products they do stock(sauces, snacks, bread, kitchen staples) - and often the prices are better than the grocery across 3rd street. There's even a little bit of basic produce (onions, lemons). Household products (otc medication, toilet paper and the like) can be a little pricey. The booze is priced fairly. There's an impressive variety of liquor, wine, sake, beer (loads of IPAs), and even a few sour beers. The staff is always friendly, very chipper and energetic. The location is clean, and not dank and depressing like a lot of the corner stores out there.

I had a very concerning experience here on April 5, 2026 (Easter Sunday). After having a meal…read morenearby, I briefly stepped inside with my small 4 lb Yorkie after asking for permission. I did not touch any merchandise and only looked at the wall of drinks. I was inside for a short time and thanked the staff as I exited. As soon as I stepped outside, I could hear staff speaking about me. When I responded, the situation escalated quickly. Two individuals approached me and began yelling aggressively, repeatedly calling me a "thief" and using other hostile language, despite the fact that I had not taken anything. One individual came very close to my face and pointed at me, while the second moved toward me and my dog in a way that felt threatening. During the interaction, my business card was thrown to the ground and kicked toward the curb. The situation became intense enough that I experienced a physical stress response and had to call 911. Emergency services responded, and the incident is documented with a police CAD report. I also have video of the interaction. After emergency services arrived, the individuals returned inside and closed the store shutters. This experience felt completely disproportionate to the situation. Based on this interaction, I would not feel comfortable returning.

I lived in Japan for a few years as a child and was so excited to see all the little snacks available here. Everything from unique kit Kat flavors to shrimp chips to Pocari Sweat! Brought back a lot of memories and I was excited to share the fun treats with my partner as we perused the aisles. We left this time with 2 mochi muffins and would definitely recommend you give them a try if you're a fan of mochi texture. The flavor is light and the characteristic mochi sponygness keeps you full without feeling like you downed too much sweetness. Prices overall are on the mid/higher range but it's a fun place for a splurge on some unique stuff. Will definitely he back to explore the other snacks here!

He purchased a tiny bottle of Jim Beam for $8.99 while although pricey was the only thing een close to reasonably priced. He also got a 2 liter of Diet Pepsi that cost $6.99 and a 12 pack of white claw which they charged him $34.99 for. So $55 for those three items and then afterwards he said he was told his total was seventy something dollars and he had paid in cash. I would definitely not come here or recommend it and if you do, please check the prices, check your receipt and check the total amount you are told very carefully.
