Friendly service,great selection, super clean and organized! Prices are extremely competitive.

It's always fun to come to La Bodega. Bought Cut Waters and a bottle of rum this time around. While they have many flavors, I do notice Cut Waters cost more here than most places at $15.99, so I'll probably stick to buying my bottles here instead. Service is always quick and efficient. read more

La Bodega is a Riverside Gem & Staple. The establishment has always been clean, plentiful, and friendly. They have a large selection of beer, wine, liquor, lotto tickets, and sodas. La Bodega reminds me of Kokoman in Santa Fe or Emilio's in Bellflower. read more

La Bodega Wine & Spirits - Tequila - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Riverside, California

Great and friendly place with many options I wouldn't find elsewhere. Great staff. I will be back.

After years of entering and exiting the doors of La Bodega I've only just come to realize I'd never reviewed one of the best liquor stores in Riverside. Shame on me! Located on Central Ave just off the 91, I will warn you the vehicle entrance to La Bodega is a bit narrow and made more narrow by the terrible parking. If you know you know. The parking here sucks. That said, once your inside you forget about the parking and are met with beer and liquor heaven. The craft beer selection is one of the best in the inland empire. A lot of it rare and pricey (looking at you Bottle Logic) but you'll find plenty that won't make your eyes water. It's not just beer, they have massive amounts of liquor, wine and even mead(!!!). If you're looking for something for the kids, they have a great variety of craft soda as well! The kiddo recommends anything from Avery's! Staff is always friendly and helpful if you don't know what to get. Gold is where you find it! If you're looking for mainstream adult beverages, you'll find it at La Bodega. If you're looking for stuff that's maybe a bit off the beaten path, you'll also find it at La Bodega. One of the best in Riverside. Highly recommended! read more

Customer service was great Although they' were out of stock on what we were looking for the older gentleman still took the time to go search in the back and suprised us with two little cute glasses for free and the bottle that we were looking for !!! I love business this like this Truly embodies a happy small business encounter read more

Great for gifts! Selection: I originally came here with a friend to buy something special and unique for our friends birthday party. They did not disappoint here! We were able to find a Stella Rosa Prosecco that was in an all gold bottle, perfect for the occasion. They have a great selection of spirits as well. Totally blows bevmo out the water lol. Parking: so we did end up passing this place because it was difficult to see where the turn was. The parking lot is down this alley on the side and it had us a bit disoriented, but we were able to figure it out quickly. read more

Had what's I couldn't find and the staff was friendly and very helpful! Definitely will be coming here again!

Best Liquor Store in the world. They have everything and anything you need. Best beer selection I have ever seen. Was able to grab Black Tuesday from The Bruery. They also have occasional Russian River beers, including Blind Pig and Pliny the Elder. The owner helped us find two other liquors we were searching for. Doesn't feel like a liquor store inside, it feels like a fancy wineries bottle shop. Look no further than La Bodega. read more

La Bodega Wine & Spirits - 8.99 for that? - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Riverside, California

This is a GIANT liquor shop. Not like the one on Waterman and the 210. They have all the adult beverages I could think of. The staff is helpful if you're looking to buy something for a special occasion but just don't know what. Their prices vary, they have real expensive stuff and they go really cheap too. It's nice and clean in the inside so much so that it doesn't feel like a liquor store. They have plenty of parking in the back too. read more

I am extremely glad I found this place on Yelp! I was in the market for some whiskey and I thought that I would have to drive all the way to Total Wine in Rancho to get the whiskeys I wanted. I am extremely glad I swung by here before I drove to Rancho. Not only does this place have everything I was looking for, the prices were slightly cheaper as well! This isn't that janky liquor store you go to and buy vapes, bongs, and juice, but rather, they have a nice selection of alcohol and the people here seem knowledgeable in it as well. If you are a wine or liquor enthusiast, I highly recommend coming here! read more

This was my FIRST STOP when I was on a rum hunt recently! Last weekend a friend bet I wouldn't be able to find rum distilled from sugarcane (instead of molasses) for a party that night... *Spoiler: i was $$$$ richer two hours after bet Here's a play by play of wha happen next... 1) Walked into La Bodega 2) Asked guy behind counter if he knew about rum distilled from sugar cane 3) He replied, "Yup, lemme show you where the Guatemalan rum is..." La Bodega staff ROCKED it like a hurricane! Anywhoo, highly recommend this spot for wines, spirits beer's, and of course Guatemalan rum read more

Variety of wine collection, price is great. Owner very friendly and helpful. He helped me pick out couple good wines

Why would you close at 9pm in the weekends? Always has solid selections but seems like 9pm is a little too early.

La Bodega Wine & Spirit is located just blocks from the 91 Freeway on Central Avenue across from the Riverside Plaza. They have a great selection of craft beer, wine, whisky, and other liquor. And the employees working here are really friendly and helpful. I remember my first visit was when I was on the search for some Russian River Pliny the Elder to gift to my brothers. Of course, they didn't have it but there was a female worker who was knowledgeable and pointed out some other craft beer. I've also bought a cute orange dinosaur-looking bottle opener from here, which sits in my kitchen. Parking can be found in the back or you can parallel park right up front. Overall good place to pick up something different than what BevMo offers. They also make gift-giving easy. And it's a perfect place to pick up something on the way to a party so you don't come empty-handed. Winner! read more

After searching for liquor store in town I found this place on yelp normally I shopping at BevMo store . store is clean well organized, a lot of selection, store associated was helpful and friendly The reason I give them 4 start is the pricey than other store for now during holiday Donjulio at BevMo only $119 and La Bodega is $ 139 Other liquor price are higher as well but not that much so just keep in mind before you purchase large amount of liquor you can save a lot of money form total bill you pay for . read more

I went to La Bodega after work on Saturday Aug 5th, and after looking around a bit, I soon realized that I needed help since they have a VAST selection of basically everything. One of the workers behind the counter, (he had a beard), could see that I needed help, so I asked him that I was trying to recreate a layered drink that I had many years ago and that I needed Godiva Chocolate Liqueur. He was quite knowledgeable and informed me that Godiva Choc hadn't been made in quite a long time. Arr! He then suggested another brand, but wasn't sure if the recipe required dark or white chocolate. He then used his intuition and problem solving skills to deduce that since it was a layered drink, and the other two ingredients were butterscotch snapps and Bailey's Irish Cream, more than likely it was a dark chocolate since that will create the third layer. Since he was so helpful, I asked him about a Japanese whiskey called Tottori. I've had Suntory before, which is more popular, but was looking for Tottori specifically, and I told him the reasons why. He also knew a lot about Japanese whiskey's and recommended something that he thought that I would enjoy, The Matsui. I didn't want to spend that kind of money at the time, however when I was in like to get the chocolate liqueur, I realized that I am at La Bodega, he wasn't pressuring me at all and he had been super helpful, so I ended up getting it. The following day, Sunday, I met up with a friend in Riverside for brunch. After brunch, I decided to go back to La Bodega to see if he was working there. Sure enough he was. He saw me and asked how the whiskey was. I hadn't tried it yet but I asked him for his name so I could write this review. BIG shout out to "the bearded guy," ANDREW! Thanks Andrew for the recommendation of that whiskey. Super smooth. Haven't tried the chocolate liqueur yet, because that combination sounds waaaay to sweet and rich... instant hangover. read more

Love this place. Staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. Great for your private collection, a gift or grabbing a quick bottle or drinks for the night. I've even had them bring in something they didn't have so I can purchase it. Always coming back for more and always recommending to everyone I know. read more

Was helpful in finding a rare wine I am glad we were able to find a good wine for the party.

Absolutely one of the best liquor stores that Riverside has to offer! One of the annoying things about shopping at my store is it that sell liquor is the price isn't Marked, but La bodega is great about putting stickers on every single item so you know what you're paying when you get to the register it is totally my happy store! If I ever win the lottery this is the first place I'm coming to spend my winning lol cheers don't drink and drive read more

Great customer service and an incredible selection, but most importantly, they carry my absolute favorite blueberry vodka! The store ambiance is so chill, and they let you shop without being overbearing. It's my new favorite happy time store! read more

La Bodega Wine & Spirits - Added a few bottles I've been hunting thanks to La Bodega. Crazy selection at reasonable prices - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Riverside, California

For a girl who doesn't get blown away that often by liquor store beer selections, this place is incredible! I have driven past this "liquor store" more times than I can count and can't believe I just found this place! Their craft beer selection is absolutely one of the most varietal and definitely a mecca for hard to find breweries. Dieu Du Ciel, Lost Abby, Allagash limited selections, Freigiest! Don't even get me started with their RARE scotch selections in their case. LAPHROAIG 32!! I've never even seen this bottle in person. Sam Adams Utopia! If you haven't been to La Bodega, you need to go! This place will be my stopping grounds every time I'm in riverside. read more

Snazzy! A very upscale liquor store, serving people with adventurous tastes in alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. We are talking dark ambiance, sparkling lights, tasteful displays, an adult entertainment center (for you dirty old men, NO.... not that kind!) for those that imbibe. Yes, it has all the basic essentials, but as you wander about their beautiful store, you find that whoever makes the stock orders must have a sense of humor and probably acts like a kid in a candy store when he restocks. That, or he has just finished a joint. There are very strange items. A variety of unusual beers, flavored spirits. What caught my eye was the peanut butter soda. It gets odder from there. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/la-bodega-wine-and-spirit-riverside?select=5EK3gdXAGhzN_lEnJEVxgQ#UAlQFqsKQkWYmPdtFvqCXA So if you can't find (insert name of booze/beverage here) anywhere else, try here before you give up. You may be in for a surprise, or you'll find something equally "must have"! read more

They gots what you needs! Joke aside, this is a remarkable liquor store. Hidden inside is a top shelf liquor selection, a microbrewery mecca, and a bottle for bottle outstanding wine cellar. They have all the fixins' to boot. They have the rare Pliny the Elder, but typically you must ask for it, and they have a one bottle per person rule, which is why you should recruit one or two wing men to cover your craving. Hint hint. Their sales and selection of outstanding Scotch and bourbon makes for a good browse and drinking session afterwards. Outstanding! Can you get some things cheaper at Bev Mo? Sure, but time, distance, gas and money are outweighed by convenience. read more

Great selection, everything I needed from classic California cabs to wonderful Spanish Albariño! Will definitely be back!
