Lighthouse Liquors

This is my favorite spot to purchase an adult beverage in Albany. The staff is friendly and helpful and the collection of spirits is plentiful. But perhaps most impressive is that when I arrived to town and realize no place in town served my favorite brand of whiskey, the manager went above and beyond the call of duty to research it, locate it, and special order it. They make sure to keep it in stock for me as well and, as a result, have created a loyal customer. Now THAT is intelligent customer service!

In town for a family event and needed to fortify myself. The hostess at Lemon Grass Thai down the street suggested this store since it was close and I wanted a bottle of wine to go with my take out. I realized
Turns out I didn’t have the patience to sort through the crowded wine shelves to find a tempranillo. Opted for beer.
Craft beer selection is small and $ 2 – 3 more than I can find at home (Atlanta), but consider the market.
It was a busy Saturday night but the folks working were friendly and offered help.

Was recently in Albany for a funeral, asked like 3 people where the liquor store was, and they all sent me here, so I don’t know if that means they are the only package store in town, or the most popular.
Four of went in together, and one of the young ladies that was with us, had a book bag purse, they told her upon us entering the store, that all book bags and large packages must be left at the door. She advised it was her purse, and they insisted that she leave it with them.
Prices were average, no better or worse than you would pay somewhere else.
While, I wouldn’t call the staff super friendly, they were helpful and had good knowlege of their layout and where brands were located and were helpful in helping us get our haul of liquor up to the counter.
I was surprised that no one in our group was carded for ID, as two of the four of us are just over 22 years of age, so maybe they figured those two twenty somethings would have just had us two forty somethings buy their liquor if they were underage.
Good GA Lottery selection of scratch offs. I have this thing with playing the lottery when outside of Atlanta, I by far play more when I am out of the metro area cause I win more.
Lots of liquor, they have what you drink. That is for sure.

Average prices and poor customer service. They always gave me a dirty look when they asked for my ID, and half the employees looked sketchy. Go to The Warehouse Package Store instead.
