Amazing wine! I am very satisfied and contented with this shop. They never fail me on my high expectations. I wont even forget to tell all of my co-workers and family about this amazing place for sure. They strive to provide us the best service that exceeds our expectations as well. Incredible assistance! Job well-done.

This wine shop looks small from the outside, but its so spacious once you go into the main area. I love the massive collections of wine they had. Especially the sparkling wine. It tastes heavenly. The staff was so friendly. I like how they explained every detail of the wine. Also, they had a tasting section in which you could taste their wine for free.

This wine shop is impressive indeed. A week ago, I went here to buy some wine bottles. I was amazed by the vast variety of wines and spirits they had. One thing that really fascinates me is that before you can buy it, you should try the wine first. Even, if you need any support, their employees can help you. They were really well-informed about wines. I love the shops wine shelves.

Grat place and friendly service. Big bourbon selection, but be advised this is well above MSRP. The secondary price is fair for rare bottles.

Forget the usual wine tastings which even at their best seem a bit formulaic and commoditized. The owner is very knowledgeable, personable, attentive, hilarious, and also dangerously generous. Needless to say, it worked out for him as well as we came away with six beautiful bottles. A very wonderful experience!

STAY AWAY. Over $100 order never arrived. So far, Quality Liquor isnt doing anything about it.I ordered a gift for my brothers birthday. All was good until FedEx notified us that the order had been delivered. It hadnt. The signature made no sense, and when we looked at the camera footage for the delivery time on the order, nobody showed up. This is obviously a FedEx issue right? Ok, but Quality Liquor holds all the cards here as the shipper for chasing down an insurance payment and either re-shipping (via someone else) or giving me a refund. I havent heard anything back from them after I reported this. This is over $100 lost and theres really nothing I can do about it. Quality Liquor could do something about it, but so far, crickets from them.

My uncle once told me, “judge a company on how they react when something goes wrong.”I had a service issue with an order from Quality Liquor in San Diego. Once I was able to speak with Vinny, he made me a very happy customer. Vinny, might be the best customer service manger that I’ve dealt with. He found the root cause of the computer mistake, and corrected it within minutes. Well done, Vinny!!Thanks Quality for your prompt response to my shipping issue.

This liquor store is hands down the best in San Diego. I would never shop elsewhere. Nick is super helpful, knowledgable, and honest if you need assistance picking a bottle and wont just direct you to the most expensive bottles. They will arrange delivery within an hour to any location in SD and have extremely reasonable prices. They are one of the most customer focused establishments that I have done business with and the owner Vinny is exceptional.

Ordered 4 bottles of bourbon. Received prompt order confirmation and then, a day later received shipping confirmation. Lastly, received notice that Fed Ex would deliver following day and would require signature. Product arrived in one box with no breakage. However, one of the wider bottles had busted out of Styrofoam packing shell and was laying in bottom of box.

Review №36

Overpriced flakes. Terrible customer service. Staff has no knowledge or clue about their own inventory. Took precautions to avoid their online website as some reviews have had horrible experiences, and they managed to make my experience over the phone and in person even worse. Shop needs some major change in management and customer service training.

My husband and I just got back from our honeymoon to Kauai and we didnt buy Koloa Rum while we were there. I wanted to surprise him with a bottle for Christmas so I called Quality and they said it was out of stock. I was bummed but was promised they were ordering some and if I put my order in online, theyd be sure to ship it the following week. While I was nervous at the prospect of being scammed, I am happy to say the rum arrived three days before anticipated. Not only was it here on time, my husband was surprised, and the rum is delicious! Thank you, Quality!

Review №42

They rip people off with super marked up items. I bought two bottles of rum elsewhere, that can be found all over the place. One sells for $75 elsewhere and they have it for $350 and the other bottle is readily available all over for $65 and they have it for $180. Avoid at all cost, until they lower their ridiculous prices. (end original review) - response to owners response - These reviews arent just for how people are treated. Your response is like one gas station having gas at $3.84 a gallon and if your liquor store was like a gas station, your price would be $12.96 a gallon. Thats a huge discrepancy compared to other places. Im all for charging more to cover costs and make some money, but charging those prices is a complete rip off.

We had just moved to California and Ill be darned if I havent tried to find my Kenny Chesneys Blue Chair Coconut Rum at every establishment that sells liquor in a 25 mile radius from our home. I almost gave up and had some friends from back home try to mail me some but I decided to give it one last go. I went to Blue Chairs site and Quality Liquor came up on their store as a location carrying the brand I wanted. The specific flavor I wanted wasnt listed, but they had several that were so I thought, what the heck, Ill call them to ask!Nick answered the phone told me they did carry Blue Chair and that he would check to see if they had my coveted Coconut Rum. They did! He asked how many bottles I wanted and I asked how many he had! He set 2 aside for me and when I came in to buy them the guy at the front was super friendly and polite and called Nick out. I bought the 2 bottles and almost bought a third of another flavor except it had an ingredient in it I cant have (but it looked soo good, so if you can eat dairy I recommend the Key Lime flavor!!). I promised these guys that when I run out of the coconut flavor I WILL be back to get more and Id only buy from them and I meant it. Great customer service and great attitudes!

We were desperately looking for Clase Azul Tequila shot glasses for a long time. Everywhere we checked was either sold out or would not be selling them anymore. I contacted Quality Liquor Store’s customer service via email, to see when they would possibly have them back in stock since these are a very important gift. Within minutes I received an email back from Nick informing me that they will have them on inventory at that moment and ill be able to order asap online. Not only was I able to get the amount that I wanted, but they were efficient enough to call me and issue a shipping credit since we placed two separate orders at the same time and they will be here on Monday!! (It’s Thursday). I cannot say enough how pleased we are with this service. It is very difficult to find such great customer service. We will 100% be ordering from them again. THANK YOU

Horrible customer service. On 6/27/16 Quality Liquor Store had on their website a promotion that stated if 2 or more bottles of La Pinta Pomegranate Tequila was purchased ground shipping cost would be waved. After adding 2 bottles to my cart, I noticed that the shipping cost had not been removed. I called the store and spoke with someone who verified that the offer was on their website, I was then told that a manager would call me back ASAP. A few hrs later and still no call back, so I called back and again was told that I would be contacted. Over 24hrs later, and I have yet to receive a call from the manager. While quality liquor store seems to be quite sluggish when it comes to customer satisfaction, they were very prompt in removing the promotion from their website.

They have no PIN terminal. Inconvenient. A liquor store that requires signature is a store that fails. What liquor stores do that? This place is broke, and the selection is overpriced. A soda for $3? What happened to 1.79? Cheap place! Cant even afford a terminal, HAHAHA!

Placed an order, received no tracking number. Made several inquiries to the status of my order, e-mail and phone, no respons to my voicmails and their e-mail seems to have been canceled right after they sent my receipt of purchase. Storage reviews are moderated by owner before postings made public and doesnt post any reviews that are negative. Shady as hell business practices.Update: I was contacted finally the following thursday 2 days after my initial inquiry to be told that my package was to arrive that day. It arrived an hour later. They said they would resend the tracking information when they had contacted me, I never received it but by the time I would have been concerned about it, it had arrived.It did arrive within the suggested time the purchase page suggested.Overall, delivery was in a timely manner. However, customer service was far bellow acceptable. It is possible my experience was an isolated one, I however, leave the one star to accuratly reflect my experiance.

PRE-EDIT REVIEW: My name is Noah Cohen. I ordered one 375 ml bottle of drambuie (sweet spiced whiskey) from Quality Liquor Store to my home in Ann Arbor, Michigan, to see if odering liquor over the internet worked. I am of legal age and mail-order liquor is legal in my state. I ordered it on May 14, 2015.I got an email suggesting that it had arrived on May 22nd (yesterday), but it had never arrived.Do not trust Quality Liquor Store.EDIT: June 3rd, 2015I was contacted two days after posting this review. They apologized for the delay, telling me that the bottle I ordered hadnt been in stock. They sent me a 750ml bottle for the price of the 375ml bottle, to apologize. It took like three weeks to arrive, but I think thats a reasonable status quo.TL;DR: updated One Star to Four Stars.

The parking for this place awful. The older gentlemen that works here seems nice enough but you cant get bottles of hard liquor yourself so there is no real browsing here you either know what youre after or youll be looking at the ceiling trying to figure it out. The store is dirty and cramped but other than that its over priced. I wouldnt come here again thats for sure.
