By the name, you would think that they would have Asian liquor as the beginning of the name of the business starts with rice, which soju is made with. When I got there, the soju cashier was very rude, and I was forced to settle for some thing, because I was going to a party.

Having a nice buzz before you go out is good...."AS LONG AS YOU PARTY RESPONSIBLY!" aka "Designated Driver, Uber, Lyft, Taxi" anywho, every neighborhood has a "liquor store"..or one, two unless you live like in Orinda or something then all you got is like..Beverages and More (BevMo). Anyway "Rice, Wine and Liqour" is kinda a strange name for this establishment because I'm not going there for no rice, I'm more about the beverages brewed with it, Sake Anyone! This place has great prices and a few interesting characters to go along with it. Here is my review.. October 24, 2016 Monday 11:42 A.M. for my fav beer 1 adult, aka just me. Atmosphere - 4/5 Selection - 5/5 Service - 3/5 Background - Monday is my "Funday" and I still want to have a drink on my days off. So why not go and get some. Atmosphere - This establishment shares space with a host of other businesses " La Superior, Walgreens, Dollar Tree, El Chico Seafood and Burritos, Etc. A rotating transient community, but nothing really to worry about, there is security guards on the premises. Selection: Being one of the larger liqour stores in the area out of like the five I can think of in my general area based off distance. They indeed boast some of the "better prices" in the area (in my opinion) as compared to the other nearby competition. They have your usual fair, Beer, Spirits, Celeb Drinks, Smokes, Trinkets that no one seem to buy and a "Key Master" machine that no one seems to have won at yet. They have "Natty Daddy" an 8% abv version of the traditional "Natural Ice" and it happens to be one of my favorite "kickback and chill" brews. @ $1.29 (plus acceptable taxes) as compared to like $1.89 or more at other liqour stores, it's a clear choice why I come here. Service - The service here is....you get what you get really. Sometimes they're friendly and sometimes they're not so friendly. The female worker when she's here is always nice, she's like the only consistant one as far as service goes. Future - Just see how many times I check in here!

Not much to point out about this place other than its location and convenience... especially if…read moreyou're heading west (eastbound travel may require a little more patience turning left into the small lot across traffic during busy times.) We stopped in here on the way back from NorCal to grab a few sodas and snacks for the kiddos. The usual liquor store fare here, with what appeared to be a healthy selection of the good stuff behind the counter. A few cold cases on the wall offered cold soft drinks and beer, with the usual salty n sweet in the aisles. Honestly, I didn't linger long enough to determine if the proprietor was kind, mean, angry, or ambivalent as other reviewers have suggested... I just tipped my hat, said "keep the change," and offered the fellow a very nice rest of the day when I left. I'm sure I'll drop back in on our next trip to the delta.

Oh, HAAAAAYYY! Here's my neighborhood lika sto'!…read more I've been coming here since 1995. They've changed owners since then. No more Tina and her brood of 50 children getting hit by Fed Ex trucks (no lie!). Just Mo and his cohorts holding down the fort and keeping the riff raff in check. Don't act a fool, though. They're armed and will EFF you up! See that little window upstairs looking over the cash register? That's where they sit and keep watch in case anyone tries to act funny or rob them. I hope I'm not there if there's ever a shoot out, that's all I'm sayin'...Not for the faint of heart. But it's a neighborhood store. My neighborhood. Mo is awesome. If they don't have something you ask for, the next time you come in it will be there. Seriously. He got Cappuccino It's Its and Hot and Spicy pork rinds just for me. How can you not love that? Don't mind the dealers and hobos, it's just South Berkeley, after all. You do know to hit the ground if you ever hear gunshots, right? Good. You'll be just fine.

This store has lots more than alcohol, like food and necessities like paper products. The people…read morewho work there have always been nice to me and some of them are super nice and friendly. I always feel welcome and I appreciate them very much. I'd personally like to see a little more organic, eco-friendly stuff, but I'm sure they know what their main regular customers really want. They do often have organic wine. There was some rough activity there sometimes years ago, but there have been no police cars going there for a very, very long time, which I'm happy about. It's a handy spot. Some people worry about going to Stanford Liquor because of the folks across the street at the tiny park, but they have inevitably been kind to me over the five year I've lived here, with no issues at all.

So I've been here a few times over the years, and as life has changed, so has my perspective. When…read moreI was younger, this place was GREAT for affordable liquor. And when I say they have a wide range, I mean it! Everything from hard liquor to wine to beer -- if you need it, they probably have it. I would say this place is great for spirits, but the non-alcoholic beverage selection isn't the best. Of course, they have chasers and soda, but I recently wanted an Arizona and they didn't have any. This is definitely just a personal preference, so I won't take away from their overall selection because they still have plenty of options. If you're in the area and looking for variety, this place is basically a mini BevMo. The staff are usually pretty nice, and like most convenience stores, they have snacks too. I don't drink anymore, but for anyone who does, this is definitely a convenient spot with a solid selection.
