This is a good liquor store. But the men who work their are disrespectful to women and women’s health. I have Been going to the store for at least the last 12 years or more. Today it is embarrassing but females have times of the month that are not very comfortable. And in any emergency when you would not want to walk around in a mess or have to change your clothes and cut short any other activities you have to do at that moment. I asked to use the restroom at the store and said it was an emergency for a woman. And they told me no and to walk and look for a restroom. By the time I found another restroom I was already screwed. The last time that has happened to me I was in high school. There’s a lot of traffic in Los Angeles and sometimes it’s hard to pull over anywhere I didn’t think it would be that big of a problem to use the restroom there. But I guess men don’t know what it’s like to have the stupid thing happened to you every month. I like the store but I don’t want to go there anymore because the feeling I get from the man doing that to a woman is one of the worst feelings I’ve ever had. I just don’t understand.

Friendly, upbeat and hip. Great ownership, great prices with a focus on satisfaction Owner replaced a individual glass liquor shot free of charge which I dropped in the parking lot. A massive variety of unique items beyond liquor. Custom shirts, hats, and the list goes on. Worth stopping in just to say hello if your in the area. I have been going here for 6 months. Dificult parking but not terrable. Extremely popular with a upbeat nightlife atmosphere and catering truck on site. Very busy place with lots of stuff going on.

  • Abad Rahman

This place sold a Diamond Mine Scratchers lottery ticket to me and I won $4. When I went to redeem the ticket, the cashier scanned the ticket and said that the system is down. The cashier told me to come back another time. When I returned a few days later with the ticket, another cashier scanned it and said the ticket had been paid out and would not give me any cash. It’s very upsetting. The CA lottery or the liquor store still owes me $4. Unacceptable!!

I don’t drink cuz I’m underage, but as a student at the high school nearby, my friends and I are constantly dropping by for a quick cheap snack. For a while I went in there everyday to get myself an Arizona. (I got over the addiction lol) Stopping by is a highlight of my day as the staff is friendly and respectful, and I can always get an easy laugh

  • Oscar S. Camacho-Waters

Okay I needed to stop here since it was down the street from where we’re staying for universal studios. Hubby mentioned it and said this is the spot of a scene in clueless. I don’t know if you all know but this is the spot. Also the clerk was very nice and we bought our lottery tickets and a few snacks for on our way back home to Las Vegas.

  • Smog City

when I'm in the North Hollywood area I usually like stopping at circus circus liquor because they have the best prices on beer snacks drinks etc and I usually like playing the lottery super lotto and scratchers here and I seem to have pretty good luck with the lottery at this specific liquor store so I recommend coming by and playing

  • Ian Hargus

Best liquor store in the valley. Famous and in movies with the 40 ft light up clown. It's odd to say "this liquor store cares about it's customers" but it's true. The owner ordered all the limited edition game of thrones scotch bottles for me and white walker. Great for regular stuff but also limited edition bottles too.

  • Teri Jo Rask

Circus liquor is great! The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful and they have sweet deals on liquor and wine. It's not just an iconic landmark it's a fantastic local business. Also, there are tacos in the parking lot now and they are soooooo goooood! Tacos and booze. What more could a girl ask for?

  • AArtVark Vark

I'm not a drinker - but I do pick up the odd bottle of soda every now and then... The place is packed with a staggering array of elixirs and spirits... If you're looking for something packing a punch by volume - you'll find a bottle to make you happy. The iconic neon clown is a landmark of the Valley.

  • Valli Aman

I do not drink liquor but they do have a bit coin in one of their 2 locations and that's what I was there for. They seem to have quite a large selection of liquors & regular booze But again that was only out of the corner of my eye as I was going in-and-out of the store to do a different transaction

  • w.nation realm

First of all it's the Valleys well known landmark, the Circus Liquor is legendary. Great Selection of drinks Liquor, Wine and other Beverages, Lottery Tickets, Scratchers, unique/exotic drinks.! Prices are cool as well not expensive, usual liquor store prices. Worth the visit.!

The most famous liquor store in the valley. And shockingly, better prices than you would find at a local grocery store. Those who work here are always good people. They constantly have awesome sales. I recently got 5 pints of german beer for $3.99!

  • Evan Litchfield

Best liquor store in north Hollywood. Great selection of whiskey's and other spirits. Great selection of beer and even non alcoholic beverages. Tons of fridge space filled with energy drinks, sodas, sparkling waters. And there's usually

  • Rachel Reese

Decent liquor prices, open late and you can find some weird soda flavors, etc here, (like Faygo Bomb Pop soda, yes I mean the red, white and blue popsicles!) Friendly employees and did I mention this place is famous???

  • Greg Debonne

Excellent liquor and wine stock. Very personally and yet comprehensively curated selection. Excellent and knowledgeable customer service. Old school independently owned business operated the way a business should be.

  • Alan August Nitikman

Circus Liquor is a surprising place. It looks like your average corner liquor store, but they have an amazing collection of spirits, some things I haven't seen elsewhere. Decent prices and friendly, helpful service.

  • OzTinman

Huge selection of beer, wine and liquor with a giant beer cave in the back. And a labyrinth of wines to choose from. This is one of the best stops. If you're looking for something specific chances are they got it

  • Deb. E

They've got a pretty good selection of craft beer that they seem to keep expanding .Def one of my fave stops for something different compared to the usual you'll find at 711 or basic liquor stores. …

  • Jason Simon

This is ac pretty cool store with a decent selection of craft beer. I just wish they had more craft beer in the refrigerator section. And there's a bonus too. Pablito's taco truck parks right outside!

  • Sylvia Perez

Went there because my husband wanted to take a picture of that big clown outside the store. His wanted to buy a shirt there. However there wasn't enough print of the clown on the shirt. Oh well......

  • John Lucien Grillo

I found the selection to be petty great. The prices though... Higher than I had expected. Doesn't seem particularly special in any regard. The neon sign outside is pretty awesome, admittedly.

Gave $20 but guy said I gave a $10. Refused to check. I had just came from bank ATM and bank ATM does not give tens. They pretty much stole $10 from me so not going here anymore.

  • M.C. Beyer

Legendary liquor store with a really good selection of beers, wine and liquors. But they could make more out of the brand especially when it comes to the merchandising section.

  • Amanda Vargas

It's Circus Liquor it's not only an iconic landmark but, it always has lots of scratchers, good selection and I always win when I buy scratchers from here. What's not to like?
