Good varieties of spirits and they help you when youre looking something that you forgot the name. Good courtesy and the prices in the early bird offers are quite good. They help me a lot the last time that I went.
Rude clerk. As I was checking out, he asked for my ID. I handed over my passport and he looked thru it for a long time. I told him my age in case he was struggling to do math in his head to calculate my birthday. He eventually told me that the passport is expired. 1. Why are you analyzing my passport for anything other than my picture and my birthday? 2. It is not expired, that was the issue date. I explained to him that that was the issue date and the expiration date is 2029(a future date). He then proceeded to say “ we don’t accept passports anymore. But, I will accept your passport this one time. In the future, we only accept Florida IDs” like he was doing me a favor. If you really don’t accept passports why wouldn’t you just say that first? Also, a passport is a strong form of ID—why would you make up that you don’t accept it? Furthermore, you are not doing me any favor— I don’t have to shop there and pay to be disrespected and lied to. And, I didn’t. I drove to another liquor store and had a much more pleasant experience. Don’t waste your time here.
Been coming in there off and on for years. Help staff is always pleasant. They always speak when I come in and are good at helping me if I have a question. I support the local Mom and Pop joints for a reason. Keep it up!
This has been my spot for several years now and it will always continue to be such. Its local for me but even before it ever was it had that feeling of home and I just cant discard or undersell that. Live music and the service is stellar every time. Overall good atmosphere that grows more and more as you revisit. Give em a go!
READ OTHER COMMENTS ABOUT THE OWNER!!!! The little short Asian owner is extremely rude. I actually thought he was kidding at first. Then he belittled me pretty bad. I had to walk out.
Service was good. Only 4 types of gin and all behind the sales counter....
Rude clerk. Absolutely the rudest clerk. Was “training someone” and trying to exert what little power he has so said “no sake” because our 24 year old son was with us and didn’t have an ID. We said he could wait outside but opted to still be rude. We love walking Distance from this place but will likely never be back.
Very friendly lady working at the counter. Fair price on the soda I bought.
The bartender was super nice I walked in not many ppl and it was to dark. I was thinking do they rent cots here. .. needles to say I walked out. Was told to come back by 11..
Rude clerk. Theres an ABC 5 min down the road with a greater selection & better service.
I went for three types of liquors stores looking for a spirit for my rush order cake and the only place that found it is here. Good people and excellent place with all that you need. Thanks guys!!!
Dont Shop There!I have been a loyal patron of Classic Wine & Spirits on Atlantic Blvd. since moving to Jacksonville from Virginia about 2 years ago. Today, along with some other items, I was purchasing some “top shelf” rum that was marked $69.99. When I got to the cash register it came up $89.99. I told the cashier it was clearly marked $69.99. At that point he called the owner who came right over to the store. The owner said he did not have to honor the price marked on the box. He said he would be losing money. I explained to him that he was going to lose a lot more money if he lost me as a customer but he refused to sell the bottle at the marked price. As a business owner myself I understand how important it is to make a profit but it is equally important to keep your customers happy, especially for a small neighborhood store like CW&S. This owner either doesn’t get it or simply doesn’t care. I will never shop there again!
I see other reviews here saying the same thing about sales price not being honored. This place is definitely a scam as they have advertised stickers for sale price liquors and when you get to the register they charge you the full retail and say it was an old sales tag.The girl helping me thought of it is perfectly OK to go ahead and charge me full price and not honor the sales price even after she took the stickers away.I guarantee you if I go back in there tomorrow morning the stickers will be in the same place again theyre obviously scanning people I would not trust the owners or the operators of the store Ill never ever ever do business with them . Again...Bad way to conduct business.
Good section, friendly advice, good prices....
Great vibes and wing for cheap.Staff is nice and I love the live music.
Always like the atmosphere and company of good employes. Clean and good service. The food is really finger licking good. Would recommend this place to chill out with friends and have a good time.Mike
Had the same experience with a Sale on a bottle of top shelf tequila that was clearly labeled as $15 off. He quickly told me the price as he swiped my card.. Then when I confronted him about the sale price he said that it was an old sale tag and no returns.. I dont think they realize that there are 4 other stores around so they can keep my $15 and this review.
Had what I needed
Liquor store is convenient, not cheap like Wal-Mart. It is what it is. GOOD selection tho. The bar next door is great. EXCELLENT food and since its non-smoking now, its where I go to 2x a week. AC/heater unit could use some work - I remember there being some problems when it was cold and when it was reeeally hot/humid. overall, a really good time.
Says open until 1 online. Were closed a whole hour early. Neat. Wont be coming back.
Decent little strip mall liquor store. They dont get the discount Walmart gets hence a higher price, but I havent seen them rip off anyone. Some of the smaller places will gouge you. It is what it is.
Friendly staff and found the Kentucky bourbon I was looking for at a really good price (about $4.00 cheaper than elsewhere).
Doors locked on a friday night. Employees standing around. Didnt even blink when i said that i was going across the street. They dont seem to like money. Well ok bye
Just a FYI Warren Merrill is the owner of this liquor store and the bar next door. All of these 5 star reviews started popping up since my review.. im sure the owner is making his employees or bribing customers to post 5 star reviews since there were no reviews for years until now. tells you alot when the owner has to come on Google Reviews and pretend to be a customer and write a review. Way over priced alcohol. Not friendly at all. Wouldnt recommend.
Good prices! Very nice staff!
Had not had any alcohol consumed yet. Arrogant clerk was upset at us for talking during his music trivia game. Maybe he was drinking on the job. Complete Tool....
Very helpful employees.
Small liquor store, had just what I was looking for.
It is not open the hours posted. I drove from the beaches to come here because it says open until 1am. They wasted my time driving over here I dont be back.
Found my New Years celebration drinks....
Great
There when You need them...
Very nice.
Awesome
Great selection
Excellent
Well
