When you need wine, you need wine! It's your average state run liquor store. I've been in here a few times, and service has always been friendly and I've found what I'm looking for relatively quickly. Saturday just before closing usually has a line. read more

As to be expected, the rates here are higher than usual, especially if you're not from Utah. Not the stores fault. The staff was decent. Smiled and said hello. They have a pretty large variety of wine and the good stuff is locked away (you'll need assistance for that). I came specifically for some rum to make mojitos and got what I needed - good ol Bacardi. The Mrs wanted some beer so she found some from Priaire as she likes that brand from Oklahoma. Overall pretty good. Thanks for the doing the lords work by being open till 10pm. read more

State Liquor & Wine Store - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Sandy, Utah

See all

They have a great selection of liquor and wine, the staff was very helpful and the store was nice and clean.

I never thought I'd rate a liquor store on Yelp. But the fact that liquor stores not only exist in this state (I'm from Idaho) coupled with the fact it stays open several hours past any other business in this state warranted a quick blurb. This place is huge. It's easily two or three times bigger than what I have at home. I think it's mostly because they sell beer and wine that's "normal" and not the 3.2% max alcohol crap they sell in the grocery stores and stop n' robs. We don't have that problem in Idaho thus there's no need to sell that stuff in our liquor stores. The liquor selection seemed very adequate and they had what I was wanting. This place was packed at 9:00 at night. Yes, it's a dump. But the employees were friendly and got me out of there right quick. No hassles having an out of state drivers license. Huge Asian grocery store next door if that's your fancy. Worked perfect for me. read more

Store manager is a racist uncaring prick. Took one look at me and denied me any help, didn't even bother glancing at me twice. Store is a mess with boxes messily stack all over the store. Lines are long, customers cutting in line and no one says anything. Cashiers look lost and don't know how to say hi. Go to a different store. read more

Is it even fair to give a liquor store in Utah a 2 star rating? I mean, at least it's a liquor store in a very, very anti-drinking state, so the fact that it exists is worth 1 star! Since the adult beverage shops in Utah are run by the state, the selection and prices are just as poor as you'd expect. I'm a wine lover and the wine selection is pretty pitiful. You can find a few decent California reds, but expect a 10 to 20% markup over what you'd pay in your local wine shop at home. Note that there's a lot of "fake" beer sold in Utah (at convenience stores and grocery stores): I mean beer with a very low (3.2%) alcohol content. You can get beer with a higher alcohol at the state liquor stores, so that's worth another star right there. The "nicer" wines and liquors are locked behind glass so you'll have to wait even longer if you want to buy one of those. This location has a surprisingly pitiful selection of local High West whiskey (which is what you want to drink here). Not everyone in Utah is a teetotaler as evidenced by the parking lot. Every time I'm in this shop it is PACKED with people. Be prepare to wait in a long, looooong line to check out. That tells you how starved out Sandy residents are for some damn liquor. read more

It's a liquor store.. in Utah... Give them a god damn break. Lol It's has what ya need to get the job done. I'm not going to rate them on price cause it's not their fault. Haha staff has always been great when I'm there. The parking lot is crazy but again that's not their fault. That would be the customers... read more

It is what it is. In Utah you are pretty limited in your options if you want to buy alcohol. This location is good because they are large, and they have a nice selection of wine. Although there are usually long lines to check out they move pretty quickly. Service is fine. Anywhere else I'd say it's bad (you can't ever find anyone to help you, and if you do they know nothing about anything they sell), but it seems to be the same at all State Liquor stores so my expectations are pretty low. Parking is AWFUL, as is trying to even get in here if you are coming from State Street. I've waited in the line to turn left into the shopping center through like 5 lights before. If I lived elsewhere I would rarely (if ever!) come here, but here in Utah the liquor stores are all pretty much the same, and this is the closest one to my house, so you'll still find me here from time to time. read more

There's a pretty good selection for a Utah liquor store. We've moved here 6 months ago and are getting used to not having a BevMo, but this is a decent place to get some staples for your home bar. read more

Shoutout to Artois! Helped me with resting! You rock dude! always go here, the patrons are always helpful, and the community is friendly!

Why is it so difficult to correct the address so the map apps don't send you a mile in the wrong direction? Oh, right. State owned.

You were worth the wild goose chase my sister, brother and I went on to find you, State Liquor Store. We took pictures in front of you and browsed through your shelves and racks like kids in a candy store (more like drunks in a liquor store in California which we would find on any corner that isn't owned by the government.) Good to know you are there and next time we'll get better directions. Thank you for letting us purchase alcohol to bring to a non-alcoholic wedding... Question: How can you tell the California relatives apart from others at a backyard Mormon wedding in Utah? Answer: The red frat party plastic cups full of wine. read more

This store is exactly as advertised. A straight up beer, liquor, and wine store. Nothing is refrigerated. Also, they don't have any soda of any kind for mixing. So not a great place for one spot shop. They have a very robust selection in all categories. Decent prices and some rare selections of beer and wine. Which is why I gave it four stars. But as far as the full-service liquor store goes, it leaves a little bit to be desired read more

It's a liquor store. They sell distilled beverages and "heavy" beers. They have a monopoly and can charge whatever they want. They justify the higher prices as a means to augment the cost of Utah's school lunch program. They have limited sizes and selections except for the most popular items. Since Utah drinkers aren't as sophisticated as others, what's popular seldom has anything to do with what's good. In many ways, they are much better than Idaho's state run liquor operation. Of course, one can buy "heavy" beers and wines in grocery stores but you'd never find the selection there that you can here, all under one roof. That said, The DABC is light years from being Vegas' Lee's Discount Liquor! Parking is good, location is better, employees are adequate. Nothing much changes at Utah's liquor stores. There was a time when I had to hunt for what I wanted as liquor stores were unfamiliar to me. Years later I can now find my brand of gin blindfolded at the Sandy, Draper, Cottonwood Heights, Sugarhouse and Holladay stores. Does that make me an alcoholic? read more

Great wine selection organized by style. Lots of hard liquor choices so you'll probably find what you're looking for unless it's super specialized or non-mainstream. Wish their beer selection was larger but it's good enough. Lots of parking, lots of registers, easy in and out and one of the few places guaranteed not to have Mormons. On the other hand, some riff raff outside. Also, awesome Asian grocery market next door. read more

Parking is always a joke And getting in with the current construction is a nightmare read more

Oh u know.. even in Utah we gotta have a drink or two or five . Lol, came in on Saturday night to buy some beers and a bottle for fight night and it's crazy beer prices are 2$EACH BOTTLE . Did you say each bottle ?? YEAH EACH BOTTLE . What in the world. As a Californian I'm like ???????? But then on the other hand beers every else are no higher than 3.2%. So I guess it's nice to have an IPA. Total for 12 beers about 25-26. A bottle of crown about the same. Everything else is too expensive for a currently poor college student who isn't working lol read more

Not a huge wine selection but it is better than a couple of the other Utah liquor stores. The one thing that I really do like about this location, especially compared to some of the nearby locations, is that it is easy to get in and out for me. Even on Fri and Sat night when the parking lot and the store are jam packed, it seems like I never have to wait in long lines. They are good at moving people in and out and I appreciate that. read more

It's a liquor store. Fits the bill. They have wine, vodka and other things. Words words words to meet minimum requirement.

Right by my work, so makes a good mid day spot if you catch my drift. This liquor store, just like all Utah liquor stores are just fine. If you're from here you know what to expect. If you're not from here then what you'll do is find a bunch of beer and liquor, but non of it's refrigerated, and you won't find any chasers or mixers. Closes at 10, not open on Sundays, don't let your bishop see you. read more

Definitely a great selection of booze! I just wish the prices were lower... I can go to Wyoming and Nevada and get the same stuff for half the price! And you really need to talk with the tow truck driver outside... I set my timer on my phone and I was only in the store for 21 minutes when he tried to come tow my car! read more

What's to be said. This business does nothing to really earn my business outside of monopolizing the product. What's so wrong about considering having a kiosk with state employees just the same within trader joes, for example? Badly done, but hey, 4 stars because I think the staff at this particular State store are very nice and awesome. read more

Please stock more upper class whiskey. So disappointed to know that you were out of Lagavoulin 18 year. Guess I can't be too disappointed, 2 other liquor store it of it as well read more

Not a bad liquor store considering the area, but they really screw you with their beer pricing. They don't sell six packs, only single bottles, so a six pack that should cost 7 or 8 bucks is now 12....come on Utah. read more

This store discriminates based on your appearance. I was in there with my husband on 2/11/19 maybe around 3/4pm trying to get a bottle of wine and the the lady working there was DISCRIMINATING based on my appearance. Stated that she would not sell to us because we smelled like week, my husband and I DO NOT smoke, we are professional athletes and just wanted a bottle of wine to cook with. I have an Oregon ID and yes very long clean dreadlocks. We stated that actually lady that was the guy in front of us you just sold to with no problem and may I add didn't card. DO NOT EVER GO TO THIS STORE PLEASE. Sadly this is 2019 and we still have to deal with discrimination, and this wasn't even a blip on the discrimination radar, but still discrimination is discrimination no matter so big or small. The only damage that was done here was having to change our dinner plans. Yes weed is legal in Oregon that doesn't mean that everyone smokes who has dreads. Yes I look young so I am use to getting carded even though I'm 31. They still made my husband go back out to the car and get his even though he wasn't paying. Just go to the store in Millcreek, or fort union that are much nicer and very helpful. read more

This was formerly my favorite place to get wine as they had a fantastic selection and seemed to never run out. I still kind of dig this one; it has sort of a quaint feel, but the luster and magic that made me drive that far out to haunt its aisles has passed. It's gotten darker and dingier inside and the layout is...odd, I guess, to put it charitably. Selection is still above average but not worth the drive from Salt Lake. read more

This liquor store has an interesting selection, but its employees must agree about what ID they need to see ! I went there 3 times since I moved to Utah, without any problem, and today the cashier refused my French driving licence... The same licence that was accepted the last 3 times ! It's nice to think I can look like I am still 21, but I am 37, I have a beard... This employee was so narrow-minded, she didn't even watched me in the eyes when I tried to explain I didn't have my US driving licence yet... I didn't make a scene because the store was crowded and many people were waiting in queue, but this particular employee spoiled my good impression about this store... Maybe she was right refusing my French licence : but in that case, the first three ones should have told me the same thing, and I would have brought my passeport ! read more
