Above average liquor store/snack shop experience. The music they played was interesting and the service was helpful. I like my Ocean Blue lemonade. I do wish they had better vegan options, especially in hot food. read more

This is a cool spot. My Ladyfriend bought me a bottle at this location for my birthday as well as a hoodie and tee from El Porto upstairs. Mind you I've never surfed, but I'll show support, I mean Bohdi and Jeff Spicoli are the two greatest surfers who ever lived (with respect to Laird Hamilton and the other legends). Not sure about the prices, but the guy behind the counter was pretty cool. What made the Ladyfriend choose this location? Dunno. It couldn't be some of the local crew who happened to be out front when we pulled up? read more

$7.59 for a small tequila shot bottle for my homegirl M! We came down here cuz it's the closest to the beach! Cool guy working inside! They take TAP as well! We bought some lotto tickets and scratchers too! read more

Grant was awesome and very helpful. Highly Recommend coming here when you're in the Manhattan Beach area.

This is my favorite one stop shop in El Porto. The owner is so friendly and just a gem. As is everyone i've met who works there. Craving a nice bottle of wine? They have a great selection. Need some ice for a cooler? They've got you covered. Duct tape to pack some boxes? Yup. White claws? Check. Love this spot so much. Makes the El Porto community that much better. Thank you, Players Liquor! read more

Sunday morning I was walking around the area and needed to buy Lottery and I see the Lottery sign at this store. I walk up and there's a chain around the door and they aren't open. There's no sign showing what time they open and close, how do run a business like that. read more

After reading one of the yelp reviews for this store, I knew that I had also been scammed. The clerk, an older man with white hair gave me an in correct amount of change back. The charge was $20. I gave him a $50. he fuddled around a bit in the cash register taking out all $5 bills. He then said sorry I only small bill change. I didn't count it. After I got home I realized I had been shorted $10. Pretty bad. I had bought my great aunt a lotto ticket per request. He said I would be luckier in a whore house than with that thing. Moon market down the street is more trust worthy read more

Players Liquor - two cars parked in a parking lot - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

Price hiked liquor prices once things opened up. Literally charged twice the amount for a bottle that you would find at any other location. I would recommend moon's liquor which is just a three minute walk down the street. read more

The new owners are amazing and have brought the store back to life! Great neighborhood spot to grab drinks, snacks, and supplies for a day on the beach or a nice bottle of wine and cigars for a dinner party. read more

See all

Best people ever running a sweet little beach mart... love these guys! I loved to MB over 3 years ago, and this place is still my go to quick stop market for sure! read more

Prices are ridiculous. $25 for a 12 pack of white claws. Liquor selection is weak. No mid tier liquors. Either cheapest possible or most expensive options. I get your by the beach and people will pay the prices because options are limited but still whack. read more

Great liquor / convince store. Top notch with helpful staff, especially Mark who always makes an effort to add stock to his inventory if they are missing something I need. Keep up the good work. read more

I have been stopping by 'Player's Liquor' for many years mostly because it is located right below 'El Porto Surf.' Player's Liquor is a small liquor store that is situated in the 'El Porto' area of Manhattan Beach. This liquor store is located within walking distance of several restaurants & bars in the area and gets quite a bit of foot traffic from both. Player's Liquor as stated above is on the small side but they still have basically everything any other Liquor store might have in the area. Player's Liquor sells a wide range of microwavable food items, cereals, soups, potato chips, dips, ice cream, beer, wine & of course alcohol. Player's Liquor acts as a local supermarket for those who live within the area for your basic food, alcohol & lottery needs. The parking at Player's is quite limited and is 'interesting' getting in and out of this lot with your car. If the lot is full there is limited residential / street parking available and strictly enforced by the Manhattan Beach parking enforcement. I am all about supporting the local business. The next time I visit 'El Porto Surf' to reload on surfboard wax I will without question visit Player's Liquor and ensure I purchase something. If you happen to be in the area make sure you stop and do the same. The staff that works here are always friendly and always have a smile on their faces and service with a smile truly says a lot about the person and a lot about the store=) With Player's Liquor being so close to the water ensure whatever you purchase finds its way to the proper recycling receptacle, Be the Good, always!!!!!!!! Help keep our Oceans & Beaches clean, those who call it home are depending on it. read more

This is a great little liquor store, directly across from Sharkeez Manhattan Beach. Basic liquor, snacks, sodas, etc. They have a great selection of everything, and easy to get to going north on Highland (or walking home from Sharkeez). read more

Tonight me and a friend, who is a United States Marine, was looking for a liquor store and stumbled upon this place, my friend goes inside to buy a bottle of Jack Daniels & Coke a Cola and when asked for I.D. he showed the clerk his military I.D. and was then DENIED service. The clerk said "we do not honor that here", they do not honor him serving his country and helping fight for those who can't fight for themselves. and no he wasn't looking for a discount when he showed his military I.D., that's the only form of I.D. he had at the time. read more

Came here the other day to grab a Snapple, 'cause I was soo thirsty after a day at the beach. This seems like a cool little convenience store. Guy behind the counter seemed friendly enough. Parking lot is small. Just watch out backing onto the street :0 read more

I happened to make the unfortunate mistake of being at Player's Liquor tonight. While there, I was throwing a single piece of trash away at their dumpster. The owner's son came out and started yelling extreme profanities at me, trying to antagonize me into a fight, and explaining to me that he was going to kick my ass and all my friends asses (even though I was alone). While removing my trash from the dumpster, I explained how inappropriate he was acting, which further enraged him and caused him to start hitting my car window. In my opinion, it is not a good business model to threaten your customers and reflects poorly on your business and family. DO NOT go to Players Liquor. Walk the two blocks south to Moons Market or two blocks north to El Porto Market and Deli. read more

Love this little, "old school" liquor/ convenience store! Has everything you could need, nice wine selection, helpful people behind the counter, PARKING which is rare for a store by the beach. So convenient to grab whatever you need on the way to or from the beach. read more

This is the most expensive market in town. The clerk will course you out if you asked too much. Small place to shop but good parking spaces
