The imaginatively named 11th Avenue Liquor store sells, wait for it - youll never guess - Liquor! They have all kinds and shapes of liquor bottles filled with tasty adult-style beverages, that you of course will not be a Crazy and drink before driving, right? My quest there was the end of a journey for a special bottling of whiskey that you could get there. It was good and tasty, and you would hate it, so I wont tell you what it is. But youll love the store! Just dont buy the McCarthys.

Love the new store just a block down the road. Beautiful.

This store is great for higher end booze, especially scotch, brandy and rum. I like the new location, too, as it is easier to access. If you like the Rose City and Hollywood stores, then youll like this place.

Still lacks signage in the new location. How simple would it be to hang easily movable signs directing new and older customers to product types. I was told the OLCC conferred on the setup. Leave it to the government. Right?

Great service, lots of knowledge and very friendly staff!

New larger space with almost anything you could need for a fully stocked bar plus good advice to boot.

Exactly what I was looking for, aisles clearly labeled so everything was easy to find.

Great staff, never without what I want, superb owner!

This site has tons of selection and I was surprised to find some fairly rare imports here.

Stopped in on 12.31.2020. Line down half the blocked, but highly efficient. Offered outside assistance with customers who knew exactly what they wanted. Even being so busy, so sociable and on point with each individual. Highly recommend!

Awesome helpful staff that care about you

This is one of the best liquor stores in town. The people there are great at customer service and what they do as decent humans in this world. They have a large selection of pretty much any booze you will ever need in your entire life. They not only have liquor but they also have beer and mixers and all of that jazz to spark up your life in 2020 where everything is a dumpster fire and we all find comfort in our secret haven of alcoholism. sometimes if theres a long line theyll even come out and ask you if you know what you want and theyll go in and get it for you and you dont even have to go into the store which is perfect for this time in Covid where going inside a store brings even more anxiety than it typically would in the before for times.

11th Ave Liquor is absolutely the best liquor store in Portland, but the real gem of this place is the BEAUTIFUL humidor (pictured below). This is in their new space (as of 04/2021) and it is stocked to the brim with premium cigars and really great prices. I still hold that 11th Ave has the best cigar stock and value in the Portland area. There are other lounges with good options, but none of them come near to the prices 11th Ave has. If you’re a cigar smoker, don’t miss out!!

New location definitely upgraded.staff was friendly. Covid conscious

Great experience every time! Love this place!

We found this hidden gem by chance;We were walking around Portland stopping in all of the antique shops in the area. We had been looking at purchasing a Rye to add to our collection and upon entering the store one of the people at the front greeted us. We continued to browse for a minute or two before someone came to ask us if we were looking for something in particular. We ended up chatting with the guy for probably over half an hour and he told us about this one whiskey they had albeit not rye but bourbon. Even though we had a bourbon in our collection we are not disappointed with his recommendation in the slightest. The last time we were in Portland we were trying to find this same store just because of the knowledgeable staff and great customer service.

I came for the🥃Great liquor selection🚬excellent cigars&😇friendly staff👅I stayed for that yummy manager Alex

This is a nice liquor store. Well stocked and good displays. They have a good set of Covid 19 rules at the counter. Set your purchases here, put your card here and step back. When they are finished you may approach the counter to pick up your card, receipt, and purchases. That should be the standard.

Great selection of cigars and spirits.

Good selection of whisk(e)y. Helpful staff.

These guys are doing a great job providing an essential service and keeping their customers safe at the same time. Thank you!!!

Moved. Still great selection.

Each time I go staff is friendly and the store itself is legit. Just how I like it when I’m buying booze and getting ready to get WASTED and make horrible decisions. cheers! (chugs whisky in a dangerously ridiculous fashion)

Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Good selection of single barrel picks.

The staff were friendly and helpful, and informative. A large and varied selection of quality brands and types for the size of the store.

Absolute exceptional handling of COVID with a protocol of lining up outside to limit people in the store, as well as clerk help to expedite grabbing items.

They have everything! Great selection on pretty much anything youre looking for, from bottom of the barrel to top shelf liquors. Great prices and sales all the time. They also have all sorts of mixers and a wide selection of cigars, if thats your thing. Great staff too!

Super nice super clean

My closest liquor store. Clean store and friendly and helpful staff.

My local spot, staff is super rad. 10/10 would suggest to stop by. Even when the distributors are in they help with questions!

Pretty good selection but the service is some of the worst I have received in Portland altogether. From the front doorman being outright condescending to the checkout where they never gave me a total before running my card - I’ve been going here for a little bit and this is not the first time.With so many liquor stores in Portland go to one that treats you like a person.

Great selection of the best things for your weekend. Especially La Aurora Cigars!

Love this liquor store. Found a great Irish Whiskey here that was being sampled. Impressed with their social distancing guidelines, friendly and fast service, and great selection.

I didnt know what to expect since the exterior is very unassuming...but the interior is surprisingly large and neat and clean! Appearances aside, this liquor store has one of the best selections of Scotch I have seen around Portland...which is a huge plus for me! Bourbon selection was average and the tequila selection seemed a little light and I didnt scope out much else since I came there for a specific bourbon. I will say that there seems to be many, many stores in Portland (and surrounding areas - looking at one store in particular in Hillsboro) that stash away semi-rare bottles for their friends - I will admit that I stop visiting a shop entirely if they do this on the regular basis (even if they are closer). I was looking for the Henry McKenna Single Barrel (which showed that they had two in stock on the Oregon Liquor Search site) and was turned away after a question was asked to the back room peeps. Id gladly give them another shot but stashing things away for eventual customer seems iffy when you have someone with money and good taste standing right in front of you!

Great selectionsGood prices

Was able to get in and out quickly with social distancing and good service.

There was a line, but the clerk was taking orders outside if you knew whatcha wanted.

Super friendly and they had exactly what I needed. Many single barrel bourbon options!

Good selection staff is friendly Tell him what I wanted quick in and out

Really friendly and knowledgeable staff! Great local wine and liquor options

Great selection and service

Very well stocked and very knowledgeable. I went in needing bar basics and ingredients for some obscure drinks. The staff were very helpful. Theywere familiar with what I planned to make and made shrewd suggestions about what would work best. They are well worth patronizing

The staff here always has great recommendations, and the store is stocked with literally any booze you could think of. In addition, they are handling COVID-19 very well and implementing strong safety precautions!

I love this store. The owners are super cool. There is a huge assortment of goodies. Cigars and specialty bitters. They always have sales and I enjoy cruising the store for good finds. Thanks to everyone at 11th Ave liquors.

A confusing mix of indifferent staff and extremely helpful people. I never know which one I will get. Good selection and the helpful staff are knowledgeable. No way to know for the indifferent since their answers are short and dismissive.

Great pandemic precautions! Courteous staff and good selections.

Everyone was super-nice. They had a great selection, and every register was open. Now thats the way to run a store!

Friendly helpful staff good selection central location Iocation.

Great selection for cigars! The price is fantastic and probably one of the best in the city. One of the staff, Stephen is very helpful and friendly! I actually go down every time I am in Portland just to say Hi and buy more cigars and whisky!

Boarded up ..

Great selection a highly knowledgeable staff

Great selection of fancy boozes. Distilled spirits and mixers only (no beer or wine). Prices were very hit or miss. Had some good deals but other staples seemed a little pricey. Good place to shop around and try new liquors!

This is our go-to for liquor primarily due to its convenience and proximity to where we live but also for their prices. Theyve got a really decent selection but most importantly, for us, theyve got good pricing. The workers are always very friendly and if they are out of what youre looking for on the shelf, theyre more than happy to check the back for ya. We also like getting our liquor here because theyre never too busy which means never a line.

Good selection, the staff have always been friendly to me and have offered me suggestions on things to try. They won’t hesitate to look in the back if something is not on the shelf.

This is a very solid liquor store. Good selection of liquor and cigars. The beer selection is small but well curated.

Such friendly and active staff, and a surprisingly geeky inventory, too! With bottles Ive not seen in the US before and fellow connoisseurs behind the counter, ready to field any trivia. Easily, one of my Top Three bottle shops in the metro area.

Best liquor store around, and the staff is super chill.

Staff are courteous and helpful, good selection, even a decent selection of Japanese whiskeys. Also a store where you can inspect the bottles, not the style where you have to ask for things to be brought to you from behind the counter. Cigars also available.

A very nice selection. They had a number of items I had never seen before. From the outside it does not look like much. I will be back.

Changed rating for great selection and because they were playing Aphex Twin on the speakers when I walked in last. Was once turned away exactly at 8, but that appears to be a legal issue as opposed to a customer service issue.

Great staff. I needed help finding the vodka section. The staff was right there to help.

Great People!!! Service is top shelf!!!

Great place, great selection!

I can rely on my usual favorites and try something new. Sometimes its even hard to choose between all the various well-priced options. You can also find bottles to fill your upscale needs.

I wasnt there. I was at Burgerville. I dont drink.

Good selection, personable staff, convenient location.

The only liquor store I go to! And its no longer even close to where I live. Friendly, helpful, knowledgeable staff, awesome selection.

Went to by smokes in here cheap mofo running the register wouldn’t take 5¢ in Penney!!! Like really I’m from out of state left a sour taste in my mouth....bullet sample was amazing though girl was cute and friendly #girlwiththeorangehair

Small but descent liquor store. Knowledgeable staff, quick service

I wish I could visit more often, they take the effort to help in any way they can... I cant think of a better place to buy or seek advice about a good bottle of hooch!

Good selection, knowledgeable clerks. Whats not to love?

Great neighborhood liquor store. The employees will always do a good job of suggesting new items for you to try based on your preferences.

Good service and selection, maybe the best in town

Decent store with a more than reasonable selection given its small size. Really early (closing) hours baffle and annoy me though. Right on Hawthorne between downtown.. Closed by 7 or 8.. No bueno.

Great friendly helpful staff. Excellent selection of cigars and whiskey. Convenient location.

Good selection and has a single malt Speyside that was nice and didnt break the bank.

Courteous, funny and knowledgeable staff

Fast, efficient and knowledgeable staff, large selection. Agree the best east side liquor store in town. Sorry to hear about the experiences of some women and hope management makes imm8

Good corner liquor store. Employees are nice and the selection is pretty good. You can usually find sale items. Local liquors also available.

Good section of booze.

Fast and friendly. Usually a good stock of whiskeys. Could use a better selection of Japanese whiskey though.

Super helpful and knowledgeable guys. Gave suggestions for tequila and they turned out great.

Amazing selection and very friendly staff. Need a recommendation on a bottle? They seem to know everything about everything!

Great selection, reasonable prices. Staff is always a pleasure. Sample days are always a welcomed surprise.

Good selection, great service, good parking, just wish the hours were longer, but yang cant have everything

For a small neighborhood liquor store, this place has a surprisingly large selection. I used the OLCC app to make sure that what I was looking for was in stock before I went here, and I was pleasantly surprised that the in-store stock matched the online inventory. The staff also helped me find a few products that they keep behind the counter.

Best liquor store in the city. Jeff is a rockstar

Awesome service and prices. Vegan Baileys+pipe tobacco+cigars

Great shop and friendly service! If you have any questions with the cigars, recommendations, etc., Steven is your guy

This is one of the better liquor stores in PDX. Selection here is quite good and on par maybe a bit better than the premium stores. Prices are on par if not a touch higher than my go-to in Hillsboro. Nice selection of cigars too!

They just remodeled this into a place that has normal to very high quality liqour. And cigars! One of my fav liquor stores

Liquor and Cigars! Great staff and even better selection!!!

Decent booze selection, but they were out of fifths of Titos. The trick worked, and I ended up buying a half of it instead. Parked just down the street where a guy made a smug comment about my parking job. Oh, Portland...

Nice people work here. They know the products! They have good cigar selection too.

Great selection of quality booze. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

I met the love of my life there!

So many options! Great local spot.

Good selection and helpful staff.

Typical liquor store with decent selection

Great service and friendly
