I'd give this place zero stars but the app won't allow it. They have several bottles of allocated bourbon on display with no prices. The clerk tells me that they are there for their regular customers to, "take a look at first!" So as a paying customer I am not allowed to purchase. Seems a little like discrimination to me. A second clerk snickered and laughed as I conversed with the first. Why display them amongst other sellable bottles if they are not for sale? How do you expect to build or increase your client base and make more of them "regulars" if you are dismissive to everyone else? Perhaps it was just me that you don't care to sell to???

  • Kia Hamm (the happy hamm)

will never again patronize this establishment. The young man working there this evening was rude. When I requested a receipt after my purchase, he stated that I did not ask for one, and that I would not be able to return my wine. First of all, my just because I request a receipt does not mean I'm going to try and return something. There are various reasons a customer requests - even expects a receipt upon a product purchase. After explaining this, he replied, "Well most people don't need one." He was rude, spoke with a discriminative tone, and was hell bent on having the last word, at the expense of this location's reputation. I guess...

This place is everything the comments say. Walked in there highly skeptical that they would have any Pappy's but they absolutely had two bottles and not just for display... these are for sale! Being from NC, this is like a bigfoot siting. I was so shocked I chickened out of the wife's wrath and just got a bottle of Kentucky Owl (confiscated) instead but I am thinking about driving back over tonight. Hard to walk away from a bottle of Pappy's.

  • Antonia lapierre

If you only had one liquor store you could go to ... this would be the one! We drive hours to get here, worth the trip every time. If you are a connoisseur of top shelf bourbons and scotch or the Crème de la crème of Pinot Noirs, this is the place to visit... every time we walk in we find bottles we couldn’t find anywhere else. Becoming a regular here will serve you well!

  • Nick Beard

It was just a bottle of wine, but it was well worth it! This wine shop is truly one of the best in terms of having a wine selection that is both high quality and balanced. Also, the atmosphere is completely awesome in this location, and I'm pleased because their expert staff provided everything I desired. Thank you so much, everybody! Continue your good work!

  • Lance Pagel

David was great! Came looking for some favorites and there it was! What was rather stupid easy to find here was almost a rarity from where I moved from. Even chatted and he shared some knowledge on distinctions between what certain labels and whiskies were. Overall I’m definitely coming back here as a regular to restock or buy a gift for a friend.

  • bridina h.

They have a good beer and wine selection, staff is chill. Just have to check the stuff you get, alot of the times I get stuff off the shelves (mixers and such) that's past it's best by date ...and don't realize it until I am home. Their prices are kind of high on some stuff too, compared to other places.. but this place is convenient.

  • Chalipo K

Royal Liquors is my first and usually only stop when looking for a specific if not rare spirit-for my cabinet or as a gift. The staff is friendly and experienced in their craft. Floor stacks of best sellers, a craft beer cooler closet and good selection of fine wine round out the one stop shop. Parking is plentiful.

  • A Soprano

Upfront desk guy got rude with me when I asked a simple question on how much is that again. The screen was turned to see what is charged and you cannot see the price. I could of snatched him up from behind counter but am civil. I go there for the product not the bone head behind the desk.

  • D Haley

Employees are polite, but they're not very good at directing people to the right product that the customers want. The manager one time directed me away from an inexpensive brew to the twice as expensive brew. He was not concerned with what I wanted to buy but what he wanted me to buy.

  • Pete Rice

My favorite liquor store. A vast selection of craft beers you cant find anywhere else. I challenge you! Elliot the buyer is super cool and has a ton of knowledge when it comes to all things beer. Pro tip: the walkin in the back is about as close to heaven as one can get.

  • Johnny 5

Came in from Monterey looking for some Russian River beers and not only found some I also discovered my new favorite spot for top notch scotch and other whiskies. I was told to thank Dave for the selection so cheers to Dave and I'll be back for more.

  • Deanna Lievers

Stopped in to pick up a birthday bottle that I could not get at Total Wine. The price was a deal, they new exactly what I was looking for and I was able to purchase a card and gift bag as well. First time in, won't be the last! Great store/service!

  • Adam Kaufman

Best beer selection hands down. The pricing is really on point market wise. Other whiskey and hard to find liqours is also really amazing. The best party the staff is really friendly and knowledgeable. Always willing to have a good conversation.

  • Evan Thomas

Don’t believe Google’s description of this place as a “spartan” liquor store. They have an incredible craft beer selection, and the owner David is a gracious host. Their wine selection looks solid, too, but I’ve never really looked closely.

  • Daniel Lynn

If you are into craft beer, I absolutely recommend this place. They have everything from A to Z. Different breweries and varieties galore, there will be something for you. Also, they give a discount if you fill up a sleeve! Check them out!

  • Steve Dakin

I decided to pay a visit to Royal Liquors because it had one of the highest ratings of stores selling whiskey. I was looking for two whiskies that I had not been able find elsewhere. I perused the shelves for about 15 minutes and found 1

  • Daniel Rodriguez

This place is jam packed with so many varieties of beer it would have taken ages to read each label and figure out what I wanted to try. Luckily for me I found a variety to take home and try out. I may have to start coming here weekly.

  • Mr Herrera

Called and was told they had a certain item in stock. When I arrived, no stock. Website and phone call were not helpful. Didn't even bother to take information to when item is in stock. Wasted trip, can't get that time and drive back.

  • Johannes Oberhofer Lomeli

This has become my go to place. David is extremely knowledgeable about his products. The Whisky selection is particularly impressive, and he always finds something new and delicious for me to try. Very reasonable prices as well.

  • Original Shep

Would I be exaggerating if I said this was life changing? It was life changing! If you love beer you must stop here. This is a beer experience. Ask to check out the beer fridge. I will be back... frequently!

  • Peter Delucchi

Craft beer and whiskey selection are top notch. Don't miss the walk-in fridge in the back for all the latest. They keep the 10% ABV stouts on the shelves at room temp, and all other brews are cold, always.

  • Travis Shaw

Fantastic beer selection with very good prices! Lots of new beers as well as difficult to find beers. The staff was extremely pleasant and helpful as well. Worth a trip even if it's out of your way.

  • Sean Blumberg

A hidden gem. Doesn't look like much from the outside, but they have a great selection of beer and whiskey. The staff are both friendly and knowledgeable. I'll definitely be back.

  • Garrett Durr

Very nice selection of liquors. Prices are high on hard to find bottles they have but that's to be expected. The lady running the register was very nice, friendly and informative.

  • Benjamin Clark

Support local businesses! This liquor store has a bit of everything but focuses on whiskey and big beer. So it's perfect for me. Money spent on bourbon earns raffle tickets.

  • Jeri kay Wagner

Always lovely! I love that the community is coming in and reusing their plastic paper and cloth bags. A+ for being both kind hearted and environmentally friendly!

  • Sam Deleeuw

Absolutely love this place usually everything is always fresh rarely am I let down! Long time customer. Heady beers amazing selection! Great chill employees.
