Cork’n Bottle Liquor

My wife stopped in and bought a bottle of single-​malt scotch for me. When she got home and took it from the decorative box, she saw a label on the back that made it clear this was a display bottle, not real scotch, and was not for human consumption. She took it back and was told by the person behind the counter that he thought it might be a fake bottle — in which case, why didn’t he check? Why did he go ahead and sell it? At the same time, a distributor who was stocking shelves insisted it was an honest mistake, and kept cutting her off when she tried to explain why she was unhappy with the turn of events. Ultimately, she got a refund. There was an opportunity here to turn her into a loyal customer by giving her something a little better in exchange for the phony bottle, but she didn’t even get an apology. It was the first time she had been to the store. Now, neither of us will ever shop there again.

The people that work here seem friendly enough. I’ve been here a couple few times over the years and the place is convenient and clean and that’s a plus. I never see anybody just hanging out front doing nothing, which is a plus also.

i cant find any liquor store more accommodating than this Cork & Bottle. Rocky is the funniest/​most helpful liquor store employee i have ever met.

Dude. What kind of liquor store owner DOESN’T CARD? Plus my change was short a dollar. And when I came back he completely denied it! It was straight in his pocket! Fargin arsehole. stealing from customers… for shame. BUYERS BEWARE.

Cork & Bottle has lots of goodies
i.e.mags, porn mags, snacks, sports drinks, sodas, rows of microbrew bottles and six packs, wines, hard liquor. (mostly priced)
eats: gelato bar (2.19)
–tcho chocolate, real cocoa essence
–fresh tasting, no aftertaste, yummy
notes:
–beers not the cheapest, reasonably priced.

Best place to go on Weekend nights if you aren’t of age because the two guys that work there will sell you alcohol, especially if you are a fine looking lady like me. They never card anyone!!! CHEERS!!!

cool staff on site. Andy and Rocky (long hair older gent) are real nice and they dont mind taking care of their regulars!

Best Liquor Store Ever!
I love this store! The employees are all extremely nice and they always have a smile on their face. The store is conveniently located close to where we live and I was in there today and the guy working behind the counter took my credit card and said my name and he stuck out his hand and said his name was Sunny (not sure if i spelled that correctly). He said its nice to officially meet you. This is the type people that run small businesses that I truly like spending my money at.

One of the best liquor stores in the area for your Beer needs. Always have those hard to find IPA’s I love. Don’t drink a ton of Liquor but they have a ton of it at good prices. Just keep stocking good Beer and you will keep seeing my ugly mug.

You would think by just looking at the outside and it’s location that prices in here would be a little higher than say the not so great looking ‘market’ down the road, yet their prices are the exact same. We were regulars at the market down the road until we started receiving poor service, so we decided to come in here and check em out. Great service and prices. This is our new go to store for every thing!

The guy that’s always working the counter is awesome! I live pretty close to this place… just about walking distance. I take my own bag cuz I know you have to bag alcohol and I hate wasting plastic and he seems to appreciate that. Great prices, friendly service, convenient location.
Really happy that I live so close — though, sodas are kind of pricey
(2L are like $ 2.75 ea… and that’s pretty expensive… I think?) I don’t buy a lot of soda there…
Honestly, I love the guys that work here. Love love love love. Love.

This is the best place to buy alcohol as they have a great selection, good prices (some of them way cheaper than BevMo and safeway) and friendly people working to help you choose and get the stuff you need. Lot of beer including pretty all regular and micro beer probably the best selection of Beer and liqor in the bay area.

The guy who works the counter is friendly and the entire back of the store is a wall of coolers. If you want it they’ve got it. PBR included! Kind of funky since it smells like incense unless that’s from the vents of the comic book store next door.

I used to live across the street from here and this was the spot to stock up ur liquor cabinet. They still have good prices depending on what you are looking for you can always find a hard liquor no hangover bargin.
If your having a party you can get all your hard alcohol in here then pop around the corner to Trader Joe’s for some food Just a suggestion

A 1.75 Liter bottle of Stolichnaya for $ 21.99?
Na zdorovye!!!

I needed some beer to go with my Indian takeout, and everything else was closed, so I stopped in. I was delighted to find Maudite and La Fin Du Monde on sale for $ 4.99 (look it up you non-​beer-​drinking slackers).
Like Luke entering the tree on Dagobah, you will fear only that which you bring inside with you. So, depending on the person, you might rate this place 1 or 4 stars.
4 star rated customer notices:
— Liquor. Lots of liquor.
— Wine.
— Beer. Including lots of local brews as well as Belgian ales.
— Cigars (I don’t smoke so I have no idea if their selection is good).
— Porn. With helpful signs reminding customers that this is not a library.
— Twinkies and Fritos. It is, therefore, a grocery store too!
1 star rated customer notices:
— Ew. It’s as skeevy on the inside as I thought it would be.
Is it any wonder this store is strategically located within ½ mile of two of our most prominent high schools?
