Place seemed a bit dusty / unorganized. i think we came in while stock was happening. decent selection. cant adequately compare to other charleston liquor stores since this is the only one we went to but it seems serviceable.

One of the better beer libraries around here. One of the workers started following me as soon as I walked in soo I asked where this n that was so there was no searching around and I was in and out pretty fast.

Out of town for work and this is my first day in West Virginia. Stopped here to get a drink to enjoy. This place was very hard to find. There was only one person working and was very rude before I even entered the establishment. There prices were kinda of ridiculous but I still decided to purchase something. At check out they would not except my debit card. My only only option was cash.

Fraudulent thieves. I spent $165 here and they swiped my card multiple times. They told me the machine was down despite my phone’s alert saying I was charged, and that I’d have to get cash across the street: They assured me the charge would never go past “pending”. I hesitantly got cash and paid them, then waited a week, but the charge never fell off. I returned and was told to keep waiting and just come back later. Basically they were just trying to get rid of me. I waited 2 weeks. It didn’t drop off. I return again and they said just file a dispute with my card company. So I did. My AmEx has attempted to contact the company about the charge, but they would not respond to the request. It has now been about a month, and I am still waiting for my money. Long story short, they stole $165 from me. Beware.

Customer service is garbage - better off stopping at your local Walgreens.

Review №10

Extremely poor customer services and higher prices on most bottles than competing locations in Charleston. I would not shop here if they paid me to. There are 1 or 2 employees who are personable and decent to speak with. The others get aggravated at the first question, are constantly rude when speaking with customers, and make a point of being generally disagreeable. To those recent reviews saying the customer service is good, I honestly dont know who you are dealing with but my review is based upon a dozen or so visits all with the same poor quality interactions. I want to shop at this place, I want to support this business, but the people working here are just horrid. I would be afraid to send someone new to the area to this store or recommend this place to a friend.This would be bad enough, but the prices here are high on almost any bottle you care to name. When compared with other liquor stores around Charleston they are generally anywhere from $5-$10 higher. In my opinion, it is usually worth paying a little bit more to support a local business but these guys just dont deserve it with how they treat customers.Buy your liquor at the Walgreens in South Hills (far bigger selection and cheaper prices) or the Kroger at Ashland Place plaza (MUCH cheaper prices). If only it were possible to give zero stars...

These guys are phenomenal! This store has amazing, knowledgeable and the most caring staff. The owner is also very hands on and always willing to help as well. These guys have to be the best liquor store in our state. The people leaving bad reviews are the ones who do not shop here regular and are the type of people who only come in to try to find highly allocated stuff aka “The Taters”. REAL customers are loyal and shop here regularly and they are rewarded accordingly. You cannot ask for a better store in our Charleston area. These guys ensure that their restaurant / bar clientele as well as their customers are always taken care of!

I have shopped this location for several years. My husband made a list of items we were out of and told me that if I was near the Liquor Company to stop in and pick up the items. I went in and I was assisted by a very nice and very tall young man. When I was ready to purchase, John was the person at the register. I have never been treated so disrespectfully by anyone as he treated me. He was so very rude. I know that I didnt stink and that I had clean breathe. I started to just leave everything sitting on the counter and walk out. I thought that might give him something to fuss about. I was later told that Yes, he is rude but if I knew their clientele ... I told the co -manager that I didnt care. No one should be treated like I was treated that day. I also told him that if John was the only person running a register, I would leave.Maybe if John was a bit nicer to customers, the better ones would return?Your clientele speaks loudly boys !!!!!Think about it !!

Review №33

My fiance and I love to stop in liquor stores while road tripping always ok on the look out for a good bottle of bourbon. However at The Liquor Company, nearly the entire bourbon selection over priced (is there a bourbon tax or something in WV?!). I always make sure I ask something along the lines of what do you guys have hidden in the back? (Grabbed plenty of Blantons, EH Taylor, and even an Elmer just throwing that question out) and these guys respond with Oh no, stuff just flies off the shelf, nothing sits around here ... and proceed to mock us by shouting to each other about putting our their cases Blantons, Weller and Pappy as we walk out. We arent fools and nobody should be treated as such!

I am not irregular at the liquor stores, usually just picking up a six pack of beer or wine coolers at the grocery store but, you know, pandemic...so when a team member saw me wandering around obviously not finding what I was looking for and helped me immediately I really appreciated it. 🙂

How this place has 4+ star reviews I have no idea. Decent selection some rarities, but the prices are inflated and the staff is ridiculously rude. If your looking for liquor in Charleston your better off to stick to CVS or a similar this place gives mom and pop liquor stores a bad rep.

Hands down, THE place to go for variety and hard-to-find spirits. Staff is friendly & knowledgeable. Want to rate this five stars, but going here after dark is putting your safety at risk. So, daytime 5 Stars, after dark 3.

Overpriced. You are better off going to Walgreens or even Ashton Place Kroger now that they sell liquor.

Great place. Love the store all around. Awesome staff. Prices can be a bit high on liquor for some brands but its worth it for the large selection and quality staff.

Review №49

Ive been in this store a numerous amount of times within the last 20 years and it has always been pleasant. Every single time Ive been here, at least one employee will walk around and ask if I needed any help. Of course I do (Im not much of a drinker) every time, every employee has done an excellent job with their knowledge and they are always nice. Then as you check out youre asked if you found everything ok and have small talk. Its probably the main reason theyve been here so long. Excellent customer service. 👍

Its okay everything is between 1.99 and 5.99 the higher than rite aid though. it seems to be managed pretty good Ive never had any issues the workers do their jobs Ive never saw it dirty so far they do have a lot more minutes your choices and sizing choices than a rite aid or something but I dont see the appeal because the prices are not all that great its either a average price or $2 higher than average price.

This is my Go-to place for any alcoholic drinks, they have a huge selection and always there to help you, very friendly staff! And every friday they have a free taste of a different drink so you can make sure you like it before or just find something new that you havent had before. I highly recommend this place for your liquor, wines, mixers and anything you might want for the occasion as well as local pubs & clubs to stock up your best sellers, Support your local businesses!! 🍻🥂🥃🥤🍷🍾🍸🍹
