Love this place, They have some of the coldest beer around…read more The owner Brian is friendly and very outgoing. I like how he makes a special connection with each guest, shows he really has a good bond with his ppl.

Horrible Ambience of Suspicion and Distrust at Aloha Liquor Store on Stewart and Gray and Lakewood…read morein Downey. The guy at the counter has always been personable but today he showed that he's just another liquor store owner who visits his prejudices upon his customers. I escorted my wife in in order to buy lottery tickets for her father. As she did that I went to the water section to perhaps make a selection but I decided against it. As I approached my wife at the counter the young guy purposefully and with intent looked down concentratedly into my white colored shopping bags. It was a focused, view he took, he was obviously trying to see inside the bags to look for merchandise he erroneously and quite foolishly suspected me of stealing. All I had in the bags were a few pieces of Rocky Mountain Chocolate candy and my wife's leftover breakfast from Ruby's Diner in the 2 small bags, as we'd been to the Citadel Outlets; we didn't buy anything else there because she took ill and we had to return early. But back to the store counter, the guy was practicing appearance-based discrimination and he was visually subtly accusing me of shoplifting. He knew it and I knew it. He resented being called out on it so his true persona surfaced. I held up my bags to him stating, "I'm not a shoplifter so don't look into my bags like that, come on." He pretended to not understand me. After I repeated myself, he angrily said, "It's MY STORE, I'll look at whatever I Want to!" I laughed, because he'd just admitted to practicing the prejudice and discrimination I'd just accused him of. He then tried ridiculing me to my wife: "Are YOU with him?" The guy isn't the kind and cool dude he pretends to be. He's just another heavily-accented liquor peddler who doesn't trust anyone and isn't afraid to show it. He thinks he can mistreat, openly discriminate against, and visit his prejudices upon cash paying American and (US veteran) customers. He told me not to come back. I wouldn't come back, trust me. Just look at my other reviews and see how other people like him have treated me and one will see that I do not suffer fools. I'm not going to spend my money at places where I'm assumed to be dishonest. And why would I want to after being accused of shoplifting? Does this guy know what's going on in this country right now? People like him and me are being openly discriminated against, and being victimized by racists and anti-ethnic prejudice...I'm a USC grad, an Army and Navy veteran, and I've worked for the District Attorney's Office...The Aloha liquor store guy thought he was going to treat me like a common store thief and discriminate against me and I wasn't going to say anything.

This store has been here since I can remember, ok at since 1979 when our family moved here from…read moreConnecticut... In this part of Downey this one of only a few original stores around!!! I can remember hanging out there doing things with my friends to make money; sweeping the floors, stocking the drinks, taking out the trash things kids do to earn fast cash for candy and toys... The owner Mr. Lee was the kind that didn't mind the kids being around because hey cheap labor and any money he gave us would go right back to the store lol... When our schools had fundraisers he would allow us to hang out front and sell our products you know the World's Famous Chocolates when they were real candy bars not these slivers of chocolate for twice the price... My one friend had this Avocado tree in his back yard that produced a boat load more than his mom would like to have at any one time so she would ask us to see if anyone wanted them. So we would sell them out front of his store considering he didn't sell produce we were good & competitive 7 for $1 was our going rate!!! Just imagine we made good money all of which would in turn find its way in to the coffers of Mr. Lee's establishment... The Neighborhood has changed drastically since those days but the liquor store is still the same!!! Ok almost the same he has made some additions like glass around the counters probably a sign that things have changed for the worse than the better but Mr. Lee is still there with the same low prices and same work ethic...

I recently had a concerning experience at Empire Liquor. After purchasing a lotto ticket, the…read morecashier almost didn't give all the tickets to me. It felt like they were about to keep the ticket I paid for. This kind of behavior is unacceptable and raises serious trust issues. I hope the management takes steps to ensure such incidents don't happen again. Be cautious if you decide to shop lotto tickets here specifically if you're going to buy a lot of different tickets like me who purchased $120 worth of tickets for a company.
