The only reason I visited this particular liquor store was because I was running late to a birthday…read moreparty, and needed some wine at the last minute for the gift. Because who loves being prepared for things like that ahead of time? So I Googled this store, pulled off the highway on the way into Pueblo from Canon City, and stopped in. First impression: Much bigger on the inside than it appears on the outside. Which is always nice. It's kind of the magical feeling that Harry Potter gets when he first steps inside those tents with houses inside, and life is just cozy and awesome. There is also a surprisingly nice selection of alcohol. I say surprisingly, because many of the smaller alcohol places in Colorado don't carry even decent selections of wine, spirits, and beer, so you tend to have to shop around if you want something specific, or of good quality. I didn't even know what types of wine I was really looking for (shame, shame), so when I walked in and saw all the racks of wine available, I was relieved, yet also slightly annoyed, because now I had to make an actual choice. Luckily for me, there was a very helpful and knowledgeable fellow hanging out that evening, who actually recommended a wine based on my request of "Well, she likes sweet stuff". He recommended several wines, to be exact, and even commented on the vintage. Needless to say, in Pueblo, CO, THAT talent is something you don't see every day. I wanted to give him a tip just for being a bit of a wine snob in an area that will never appreciate such snobbery. Definitely recommend. Even as a last-minute birthday present adventure.

I went to Big Bear liquor to purchase a bottle of scotch for my son's birthday . The sales receipt…read moresaid the purchase was made by a clerk named Ben. He took me back into a locked room and showed me a couple different bottles of scotch and handed me one bottle. I asked to look at the bottle he pulled the bottle out of the box by the handle, when he got to the registry he couldn't find the bottle in the inventory and he got upset, and then he handed it over to a female clerk to sell it to me. and when I gave the bottle of scotch to my son for his birthday it actually had been opened. The seal was broke, and some of the scotch was gone. I believe the man knew the bottle was tampered with and sold it to me anyway.!!!I took the bottle back and the young gentleman gave me my money back on the bottle of scotch, but they can't give me my nice day, my son's birthday present and the happiness of the day back.

I usually head straight to the bar for a pint. Malissa and the rest of the crew are always friendly and helpful. Service is consistently great every time I visit. They usually have about 5-6 house beers on tap and a few rotating Colorado guest beers. Personally, I'm here for the Walters brews--I don't really bother with the others (no disrespect). If you're in town and want a laid-back, welcoming place with solid beer and good people, this spot should be on your list.

Mostly meat and cheese focused, so I was missing fresh veggies, but I understand why they keep the ingredient list basic.

I have had their cheese before from other local business and am excited to try the new ones I picked up today with my sandwich. Great little treasure in Pueblo!
