    The thing my friends and I like about this liquor store is the large selection of "baby" alcohol bottles. These airplane-sized doses of alcohol are in a huge barrel near the cash register, with a sign that says something like ".99 cents. You can't buy less than six. DON'T ASK WHY." Our guess about this rule is that it prevents homeless people from buying more booze. Why Pearson's feels that the homeless should be deprived of alcohol -- I'm not sure. Pearson's also has parking along the side, which is very convenient, since there usually aren't many available spaces in Glover Park. They often have someone watching the lot like a hawk, so be careful if you decide to park here and then frolic aimlessly around the neighborhood. They might tow you.

    Order is placed online and confirmed. Or so you think. To Pearson's this means nothing.

    I would avoid Pearson's Wine & Liquor - particularly if you are ordering online. They are liable to change the price of your order after it has been confirmed and then call you and attempt to jack up the price on what you've already purchased. Case in point, my recent transaction with them (see attached photos). I ordered two bottles of Yamazaki 12 single malt whiskey from them online, at a reasonable price that was roughly $5 less per bottle than in many other places online. I received confirmation of the purchase (seen in the photos). Much to my dismay, I received a voicemail about 12 hours later, informing me that the price of each bottle was more than $20 dollars more per bottle, and that there was a "problem" with the website. When I called the store and informed them that their attempt to charge me more after the confirmation was illegal, I was told by "Wine & Shipping Specialist" Erick Urbina that the price on the website had not been updated to reflect the raise in price in the store. I informed Mr. Urbina that it was the store's responsibility to update their prices online, and that it wasn't right (or legal) for them to confirm a purchase online and then change the price and demand the difference one day later (or have the order canceled). Mr. Urbina said my choice was to pay more than $40 more, or have the order canceled. I told him it was his decision, but if the order was canceled, I would be filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. He chose to cancel the order anyway. Not only is this bad business, but it is a fraudulent practice. For a point of reference, liquor stores often have large stocks and have a difficult time maintaining current prices on everything. But that is their chosen business, and thus, their responsibility. Occasionally, an item gets sold online, and the business realizes the price of the item has changed on the market. Not wanting to sell a product cheaper than the most current going rate in their market, the business will then try to jack up a price after the order has been changed. Is that what happened with Pearson's? Look at the photos and decide for yourself. I'd encourage anyone with bad experiences with this place to contact the Better Business Bureau and file a complaint.

    Really great customer service. I requested that they stock Pranqster beer and within two weeks they had it.

The parking was a bit difficult because the only parking I believe that was available was on the street. Luckily we did find a space we could pull up to so I could run into the store for about 5 minutes to pick up what I was looking for and grab another goodie. The tequila was right at the checkout counter so check out was a breeze. This place definitely saved the day and I was able to try the tequila that I had been longing to taste for a few months or so. And it was just OK BTW. But I love the bottle. Definitely check them out. They may have some spirits that you don't even know about...hidden gems indeed. But if I'm in the area I would definitely check this store out over and over. Have fun and enjoy life :)

    You'll find this very spacious and well appointed liquor store directly next-door to a Subway shop…read more and a small restaurant called Al tiramisu. Once inside it really hits you just how extensive the selection is. They really invested heavily into the inventory on the shelves here. And just when you think you've seen it all, there's a whole other room downstairs filled with an extensive wine selection. You can pick up large format bottles of high-end wine in wooden boxes or check out the temperature controlled wine cellar. You can also pick up a wedge of cheese and something out of the cigar humidor. They do have a decent craft beer selection, just not as extensive, unless of course you check out the goose Island bourbon barrel beers of which they have many vintages of. As you can see in the photos/video below, this is definitely a destination spot.

There was a man behind the counter who asked a couple of times if he could help us and we kept saying, "no, thank you were just looking around." After perusing the shop for about 10 minutes reading labels and talking about what we might buy the man asked us again. I finally said, "we're not looking for anything in particular, just thinking about what we want to have at home to make drinks". His reply? "Well I have a lot of duties that I can't do while you're here. You've been here for 10 minutes and I have things to do." Not only were his words rude, but his tone was dismissive and annoyed. I am seriously disappointed, especially since there were things that we were actually thinking of getting. I get that you're 25 minutes away from closing time on a Friday, but as someone who has worked in customer service, I would have been fired for saying something like that.
