I don't think I've ever written a review for a liquor store, but my experience today was so good, I just had to. It was mostly because of Leanne, who was friendly, helpful, and absolutely hilarious - I haven't laughed that hard in a while! She truly made my day. While Leanne was fantastic, I also interacted with a few other employees who were pretty darn great too. The place has such a family-run business feel to it (maybe it is?). Whatever their hiring process is at Barbur Liquor, they're doing it right. The store is conveniently located and always has what I'm looking for. 5 stars!

These people are amazing. No power or internet today due to the ice storm and they are still open and processing everything by hand. Thank you for making my weekend less sucky. It's been a tough week. I'm looking forward to a whiskey after work.

Small liquor store that carries a surprisingly large selection of brands and specialty items in a very small footprint. Staff is super friendly and helpful and they don't wait to be asked if you need assistance; they offer. Note: They sell hard liquor only; no beer or wine. For that, go next door to World Markets and pick up amazing eats at the same time. Located on that crazy, hard to navigate intersection of SW Barbur & Capital highway, off the I-5exit, the first time there is a bit of a challenge but once you figure it out, it does become a convenient place to stop when you are in this area. They have a parking lot with lots of spaces, just be careful of the others trying to get in and out based on the one way routes. The hours are a big plus; they are open until 9pm Friday and Saturdays, 8pm other nights except Sunday when they close at 7pm. During Quarantine they may have adjusted their hours so do check their website. Like all stores, they have implemented social distancing and since this is a very small shop, it's a one way route through the store. No time for browsing, choose what you need so another customer can get in. Not at all related to the experience, but I LOVE the huge Martini Glass sculpture as you enter the store! I want one for my home!

This is a very small liquor store with one of the worst parking lots I have ever seen. The parking lot has limited space and it rest on a small slant. It took a while for me to make it to the store because there is a barrier preventing left turns. The store carries every brand of alcohol that you would like. The staff is really nice.

A liquor store is a liquor store is a liquor store. Honestly, you shouldn't really walk into a liquor store with high expectations. Recently moving here from CA, it blows my mind that there isn't hard liquor sold at places like Costco, grocery stores, etc. And the closest Bevmo! is in Vancouver! That being said, my purchase here was efficient and not troublesome, which is all I can ask for from a liquor store. Staff checked in every 10 mins to make sure me and my friend were doing well (we were honestly just taking a while deciding what alc we wanted, but I appreciate helpful people checking in right?) They have a pretty decent scotch selection, everything is easy to find. This time around there was this Nebula9 representative dealing out samples of their vodka (if you don't know, Nebula9 is this organic vodka that they claim doesn't give you a hangover, gets you drunk faster because it vasodilates your blood vessels, and has some ingredient that coats your liver bile ducts so that it doesn't hurt your liver when you drink...I'm sus because it sounds too good to be true...) So this guy was making little mini moscow mules and heaven-in-your-mouth, and the samples were pretty good (sorry for the little Nebula9 ad in the middle of this review lol). At one point he knocked over his entire Nebula 9 table and some bottles broke (I felt very guilty for being the patron he was trying to serve when this happened, but I didn't knock the table or anything so whatever). They didn't question my CA ID (I HATEEEEE when people question my age or ID), they took our credit cards, and were efficient in our purchase. Overall, that's all I can really ask for from a little liquor store. Also the location is very convenient being close to my home, and there's a little parking lot so that wasn't an issue. I'm satisfied.
