Taking a Sunday drive on a Saturday, my partner in crime and I knew we were gonna pass up Picosos…read moreon our way back into town. He quickly turned to me and asked, "Wanna stop and look at some nuts????!?!?" "Uhm... yours? No, that's okay. I'm good." "NO. Picoso's nuts!" "I don't wanna see anyone's stinkin' nuts." I felt him staring at me as we continued to drive down Hwy 16 (Bandera Rd). I swear I think he was drilling imaginary holes in to my head for being so damn facetious. "FINE. Let's go look at nuts! We'll be nut freaks, I tell ya!" But wouldn't you know it? We pulled in and Picosos was closed! And when reality hit, he said in a sad, pitiful tone, "Awww... no nuts... but there IS a LIQUOR STORE NEXT DOOR!" Sheeyit... As soon as we walked in, we noticed the store was clean, compact, and brightly lit. Now, mind you, I say compact, but they had a lot of choices available: local vodkas, a good selection of tequilas, whiskeys, cognac, and some local beers. And guess what my partner in crime saw? You said it. Picosos brand peanuts displayed on about three shelves. We took our time, sifted through everything (liquor included) and when we got halfway through the store, the employee at the register yelled out, "Are ya'll looking for anything in particular?" "No, just lookin'." we replied. "Alright, no problem. If there's something that you need or want, let me know and I'll see what I can do. And if ya'll need anything from next door and know what you want and I don't have it in here, just say it and I'll unlock the store and get it for you!" Brilliant! We loved his idea. Too bad we didn't know what the hell we really wanted from Picosos so we just went with the few products already available at Dino & Gino. After about 30-45 minutes of browsing we finally made our way up to the register with our final decisions: 1. A pack of Picosos' samurai mix (basically a mix Japanese style peanuts: seaweed, wasabi, plain, chile, and sesame flavors thrown in) 2. A can of salted Picosos peanuts When the cashier looked at what we had, he was shocked. "ALL this time ya'll spent looking at everything and THIS is all you get???!? I was thinkin ya'll were gonna buy the whole store but you two come up with this? And you didn't even get the SPICY PEANUTS! Seriously??!??" LOL! He had us crackin' up because we didn't realize how much time we actually spent looking compared to what we were leaving with. He definitely did NOT guilt us in to buying anything else though. It was all in good fun. But my partner in crime said, "Okay, we'll buy the small pack of spicy peanuts." And the response was, "You know what? I'm just gonna GIVE THEM TO YOU." Ha ha The three of us spoke for a few more minutes and he invited us to join old town Helotes for a local market they hold on the first Saturday(?) of the month. And as we were leaving, I asked his name in order to introduce ourselves and he said, "I'm Dino!" Well, it's very nice to meet you, Dino! Thank you for being so welcoming and unbelievably sweet. Can't wait to run in to you again. :)

I've always been treated kindly and respectfully by the staff here. I have been impressed and happy with the precautions they have taken in regards to COVID-19.

I choose to not wear a mask, it is not required but a private business can elect to restrict their property. When I entered I was rudely asked if I had a mask. When I told the guy no he told me that it is their store policy to wear a mask. While standing at the door I asked if they would be able to shop for me or provide a mask for use or sale he rudely told me nope and I can gladly leave the property. That store only cares for people the care for others. Well it's my right to not wear a mask, it is not legally required but I was willing to work with a local business to help keep them around. As I was pulling out of the parking space I saw another patron turned away rudely for not wearing a mask. I have lived near this local area store for a year and I frequent it when I need to restock on liquor or mixes. I am sad to say that given the rude treatment by the young fellow working the counter tonight I will not be a patron any longer. I will gladly take my business elsewhere. I have spoken several times over the last year to the owner and I will gladly take this up direct with him. I hope this young man learned a lesson about respecting customers and not being rude. If not then he and the owner will suffer but they will have this at least to have some idea of why.

While this liquor store is one of the smaller types that you find tucked away in strip malls across…read morethe city, but Lucky Liquor is one of the better ones I have found. Despite being a small store, they carry a huge variety of liquor, including mixed drinks, beers, and your standard spread. They also have some unique varieties that I have had trouble finding. The trick seems to be that instead of cramming 20 bottles of the big brands in each slot or shelf, they keep 4-6 bottles of each type on the shelves so that they can have a wider variety. The store was clean, uncluttered for being tightly packed in such a small space, and the prices were on par with or better than the other stores in the area. The staff was friendly and courteous without being over bearing. While it isn't the closest liquor store to our house, I can highly recommend them and I plan to go back there in the future when we need to replenish our personal bar stock.

They have uniquely shaped bottles like a head and bowling pin that are on display at my house now. They have the same bottles as any other liquor store as well as beers! I will literally drive 25-30 minutes to get liquor here because of their selection. I've also had a nice conversation with the employees and shopkeeper before. They are so wholesome!
