Holiday Fine Wine & Spirits

Driving through and spotted the package store. kinda small so wasn’t sure if I should stop. It had the usual browns/​white liquor. I was buying up some spirits for my family/​friends for the holiday coming up. I was gonna buy baileys but I see a few complaints on the reviews. I did find prices a bit cheaper than tower and other package stores. I did get what I was looking for and also found a brand of chocolate wine that I wanted to try!

I once frequently visited this bottle shop for a large number of purchases. I always had a nice time while in the store, up until this evening.
I was checking out, paying with my debit card as always and noticed that they were charging me for credit prices, which are substantially higher than cash/​debit purchases.
When I asked the so called «manager» about the issue, he told me I should take my business somewhere else if I didn’t agree with it. I knew the old man speaking was indeed NOT a manager, so I just opted to go ahead and make the purchase, then contact the real store manager via telephone.
When I called the store, I asked for the manager, and a young man whom I’ve spoken with in person before answered the phone. I told him about the issue, and he seemed to care less about what had happened. I notified him that every single bottle shop in Atlanta whom does the cash/​credit pricing always accepted debit transactions as cash, as this same store has done for me for the last five months of shopping there.
**This is where is goes REALLY south**
When I notified the «manager» that I was on several review websites, as well as BeerAdvocate and RateBeer, and would write a review about my experience in the store, he proceeded to scream into the phone, «SUCK MY D**K, SUCK MY D**K, SUCK MY D**K!» He shouted this over and over for almost three minutes strait, and then broke off into screaming «You must be a f**king meth head» and, «I want you to drive down here and suck my f**king d**k in the parking lot».
This managers name is Grady Lucky Jr. He apparently only got his job because he works with «daddy» Grady Lucky Sr.
Bottom line, I will NEVER spend my money at this store again, under any circumstances! I have read several other reviews about this stores racial hatred, and bigotry used against people of ethnic background (I am caucasian btw) and I refuse to support any business using those practices.
Do yourself a favor, and drive the extra three minutes to TOWER’s wine & spirits. They have a much better selection, more knowledgeable staff which isn’t racist, and honors the cash/​debit purchases like these businesses are supposed to.
I’d give Holiday bottle shop a ZERO out of 5 stars if possible. Stay away from this store

Sunday evening was doing a bit of shopping and eating and remembered I hadn’t bought any tequila before heading home, now before you start thinking it was to celebrate Cinco de Mayo let me set the record straight. I have been sick so after listening to the sa’s at work decided to take them up on their advice that «tequilla would take care of anything,» It didn’t but was willing to try anything, I did get a decent nights sleep so that’s a plus.
Don’t forget to smile cameras are everywhere limited selection on booze, beer and have only a handful of mini’s weird.

«Ho! Ho! Ho! To the bottle I go
To heal my heart and drown my woe
Rain may fall, and wind may blow
And many miles be still to go
But under a tall tree will I lie
And let the clouds go sailing by»
J.R.R. Tolkien
Holiday Fine Wine & Spirits is the perfect place to find that bottle to heal the heart. Looks small on the outside, big on the inside. You have all of the standards here in every booze category. Selection is not wide, but you have choices. Wine selection is good, with a few surprises thrown in. Not an upscale shop, functional, not fun, a good corner package store.
The two things Holiday Wine and Spirits has going for it are price and service.
Prices here are definitely competitive, and they offer cash discounts.
The owner is friendly, service at the counter is always great.
«Ho! Ho! Ho! To Holiday I go!

They are always helpful and make great suggestions on wines and beers. It is not huge, but they have interesting and solid choices. Prices are good too.

In response to the last review:
I too have had the same problem at Greens where I bought a bottle of Baileys (which did have an expiration date and was past the date) that was awful tasting. It was my mistake to buy it in the first place with it being past the expiration date; however, when I went to return it, the manager at Greens was unable to accept the bottle, offer a refund or accept an exchange of the bottle because he said sternly that it is against state law to return opened bottles of alcohol. This is something I did not know and did not understand. Because of this incident at Greens, I took my business up the road to Holiday where they thoroughly explained and reaffirmed what the state law in fact is in a very friendly way. From that day on, I have only shopped at Holiday and only Holiday. for it has been and will always be my place for the booze. The staff is more than helpful and friendly whenever I walk in the door. I cant say enough good things about this about this great liquor.

I was a customer of this establishment until yesterday. I purchased a bottle of Carolans Irish Cream on June 21, 2011. Later that evening I opened the bottle to discover that it had gone bad, it looked like spoiled milk. Being that it contained cream, it probably sat on the shelf too long and went bad (did not have an expiration date on the bottle). I returned the next day on June 22, 2011 to get an exchange and was told that they could not exchange or refund it because it was opened. Ummm, I would not have discovered it was a bad product until I opened it, duh. The manager on duty was no help at all, being adament about not being able to give me an exchange or refund saying I might have put something in the bottle. Really, I put something in a bottle of spoiled Irish Cream? He told me that I would have to contact the manufacturer for a refund. I found that to be one of the dumbest things I ever heard. If I bought a carton of milk from the grocery store and got it home and found out it was spoiled I would not contact Mayfield for a refund I would take it back to the store I got it from. Anyway, needless to say this establishment will not get any more of my business and I will not tell anyone else to go there either.
