Everyone who's anyone in the La Jolla community shops here for all their liquor needs. Truly raises your status if you're seen here, the legendary Liquor Box!!! read more

I just want to give a shout out to this local store. I called looking for a specific type of alcohol. Giffards noix de coconut. French bottle. Based on the name one can say not the easiest to acquire and limited stores carry it. However, all the fancy restaurants making cocktails with these products. The owner was kind enough to tell me he'd order a bottle for me. Sure enough I got a call about a week later and I am going to pick up my special delivery. Thank you for going above and beyond for a local girl! read more

Liquor Box - Giffard special order - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - La Jolla, California

I grew up in the neighborhood in the '80s and have been back for extended stays, including now. The Liquor Box has always been a great place to shop for drinks and other sundries (my mother bought beach towels there last month). The brothers are SUPER NICE and are always quick with recommendations and open to hearing about new liquor they haven't carried. I highly recommend this local shop to support nice people in a great neighborhood. I always shop here to support their family instead of the other corporate places in town where liquor is sold. read more

Where all the cool people of La Jolla shop. You always bump into people you know there.

Great store location and corporate logo. Teeshirts were availalbe for purchase!

Ron, the cashier, is a total class act. Super friendly guy and so always go there instead of 711 across the street even if the prices are a little higher at Liquor Box. This place has been in operation under the same management for over 45 years. Always support when I can. read more

Dude's a theif. I expect this in TJ, not LJ. He overcharges on troken items such as milk by 25%. Normally people don't catch him, but when I called him out he made up some BS how "it must of been my brother who gave you the wrong price before." Please dude, you sit there each day and every day and prices don't fluctuate on the weather. Go across the street to 7 Eleven or up LJBlvd to the other Liquor store, don't go here. read more

Great spot , great craft beer selection!!! A lot of wine to choose from, my wife always asks Ron for his preferences because he's so knowledgable on the selection. The liquor selection and champaign is looking good. Check it out!! read more

Liquor Box - Wow - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - La Jolla, California

See all

The Liquor Box... I don't know which was first, but it seems there was a competition between Liquor Box, Jug Liquor and Dicks Liquor over who could come up with the most sexually innuendoed name. Unless there is a city ordinance, we'll undoubtedly see the likes of Ball's Liquor, Liquor Hole, and others before we're through. Anyway, Liquor Box is as good or bad as the others. Not much different. I think the Windansea locals like it, but let's hear what they have to say. read more

The Liquor Box...owned by two brothers who are so super cool and laid back, it makes it so welcoming every time I come in!! I'd rather go to them than 7-11 across the way but sometimes they aren't open early enough!! Again super cool local liquor shop...choice beers and liquor, chips, my ginger ale, hahaha, really cool and nice brothers that run the shop!! (One brother has the coolest sounding deep voice...it's awesome when he just says Hi how are ya today!! Lol) read more

Liquor Box - Love the trucker hat!! - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - La Jolla, California

Really good local craft beer selection. I like the friendly guy at the counter. I think the prices are fair. The beer is cold, unlike Bevmo. Support local businesses! read more

I give this place 4 stars because it was one of the stops on Mike and my first date- we've been here many times afterwards when we lived in Windansea. Convenient- but not the cheapest. I took out one star because they changed their sign... :-( read more

I just discovered this great little liquor store recently. I'm somewhat new to the area and found it by mistake, but I'm so happy i did. I was pleased they carry my new favorite drink of choice, BoochCraft. I met Ron, who was as nice as could be. I don't know if he is the owner, but he was just the nicest guy. Even welcomed me to the neighborhood. I will be going back for sure. So happy i found the Liquor Box read more

Based on positive Yelp reviews came here to get some local craft beer. I can't compare to other liquor stores in the area, but overall, found the store clean, small, competitively priced, friendly cashier and convenient parking in a small lot. read more

Great selection of liquor and wine. Very good peeps down here at liquor box. This liquor store is organized and in a central location so I always access to my bottle of Johnnie Walker Black Label. They also keep it very clean and they know me by name too. Last summer I even went there to buy beach activities stuff and some t-shirts that say liquor box. I was in London once and wearing the Liquor Box shirt and someone came up to me and said thats liquor box in la jolla mate? I said yea mate , its international too? Thanks Liquor Box!!! read more

Liquor box is more of an institution in La Jolla than an actual liquor and grocery store. I have literally grown up here over the years. It is a family run business and they provide some of the quality hard to find items you can't get elsewhere. Highly recommended! read more

The Liquor Box used to be much smaller years ago when on the other side of North Lane. Then The Box got bigger as it aged and moved across the alley to its current spit. The Liquor Box is a nice thing. Dick's Liquor, on Pearl, is nice too. I recommend both for a good time. read more

Best selection with great service and always a smile from the big fellas! Great Wine, Beer, Liquor and best of all LiquorBox, Windansea, La Jolla hats and shirts. Great craft beers and hard to find scotch is always appreciated! Keep up the hard work... Since 1969!!!! read more

I like the name. The store is ok. Nothing really stands out about it. But I have not had any bad experiences here either.

They have a decent selection of beer but not much for liquor. The store is a bit on the dirty side and out dated.

Booze is booze, but my alcohol needs are more than satisfied at this institution of La Jolla.

They totally ripped me off the tequila I bought was $20-30 cheaper everywhere else, to add insult to injury they totally misquoted the ABC law when I tried to do a return. Despite proving they were incorrect regarding legal returns on alcohol and explaining I was returning the tequila due to their inflated pricing their response was "we are in they La Jolla what do you expect". Check prices before you buy here unless you are in the mood to pay way more than you should. read more
