Monticello Liquor

I love this place. First of all I am happy to be supporting a local business rather than huge chain. Also the staff is incredibly knowledgable and can always give you a great recommendation. I once was really late to a function and ran in saying «I need 3 bottles of fairly decent Pinot noir for under $ 15 each.» I was in and out in less than 5 minutes and everyone loved the wine!
Also if you love Bourbon and Whiskey ask for Alec, the last time there he pointed me to an inexpensive small batch Bourbon that I never would have tried but was excellent and less expensive than the one I usually drink!

What a GREAT location but since MAX took over the place went down hill with customer service… So sad that their employees only wait on customers who live in the neighborhood. Other than that, they up sell to anyone just asking for a simple Merlot and they steer you too the most expensive wines. They have no good idea on mixers and actually expect you to wait on them to help YOU. This place is the worst, and with so many other places so close, don’t waste your time with MAX the new owner.
As with ALL new ownership comes change… and unfortunately this place is going to last 1 more year!
So much for loyalty

This place looks a little sketchy on the outside but don’t let it fool you. The inside is clean, well organized and easy to find things. They have a great selection of wines. They even sell cigars if that’s your fancy. They have a separate glass room with all their cigars stored. The people that work here are very friendly and so helpful if you’re looking for something specific. There’s plenty of parking out front and on the side of the building. Prices are comparable to the area. I definitely recommend stopping in here!

Located ok the corner of 75 and Monticello, this liquor store is a true, Dallas gem.
It’s in its own free standing building with private parking. The space is super easy to come and go and the staff inside is wonderful.
Inside its small, but the selection is moderate. They have an over abundance of select, choice wines as well as a mini cigar room.
The prices compete with its surroundings, but the easy and friendliness really sells the product. Enjoy.

WOW! What on Earth took me so long to stop in this unassuming shop off 75? I may never know the answer but what I do know now after stopping in this week is that this is exactly what a neighborhood liquor store should be! Forget the big guys, Monticello Liquor has everything you could possibly need, super friendly and helpful staff and the largest selection of mini liquor bottles I’ve ever seen! The prices are comparable to any other liquor store in town, with rotating sales form week to week. Definitely stop by the next time you are out of your favorite booze!

My wife and I just moved from Denver to Dallas about a month ago. Since coming to Dallas, I’ve searched everywhere to find a bottle of my beloved home town Stranahan’s Colorado Whiskey. After searching online for some liquor stores that may have a chance to carry some whisky from micro-​distilleries, I stumbled on Monticello.
I called over and talked to Mike the owner. He set their last bottle aside for me until I was able to swing by and pick it up. Come to find out, they have a great selection of name brand and off-​brand whiskey’s and Mike threw some great recommendations out for me.
I’ll be back to this store!

A liquor store that I can walk to from my house? YES MA’AM!!!
Even in such a small space, you can almost always find what you seek at Monticello Liquor. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly with an eagerness to lend a hand. The prices are still great for an independent shop (this ain’t Wal-​Mart) and driving across town isn’t worth saving a dollar to me.
Bottom line: Monticello Liquor is a super friendly, independent, neighborhood liquor store with reasonable prices, a convenient location, and friendly service. Even if I’m just stopping in for a bottle of wine or a bag if ice, it’s always a great experience. Never a complaint here!

This place has something new every time I visit. Lots of vintage wines, obscure spirits, fun stuff. You can find a lot of stuff here that most chain liquor stores don’t carry. Excellent soju selection. This is also the best place in town to find scotch. There is a whole wall of just scotch.
The staff are knowledgeable and helpful if you’re looking for something in particular or need help making a choice. I’ll shop here instead of a chain because of the more personable service and selection. Who wants to feel like they’re in a Walmart when they’re buying liquor?

Some surprising finds at good prices. The staff seemed knowledgeable about what they were talking about, and the location is A+.

Best in town

I agree that the parking isn’t the best, so be careful! But what’s great about this place is their vast selection of alcohol. I have been searching for a store that sells Japanese shochu, so imagine my excitement when I discovered that they have it here! They have about 10 different kinds, and they were reasonably priced. Buying a bottle of shochu at a restaurant costs between $ 50 – 75, but each bottle costs $ 21 – 33 here. Definitely worth it.
They also have a big selection of sake, but I didn’t get to check out their soju. But I appreciate that they have a great variety of Asian liquor in addition to beer, wine, and other alcohol. I’m so glad I found this place!

The owners before were amazing and the owners before that were even more amazing but the new owner is amazinger than both amazing owners before, even more amazing then the amazing one. well, the parking lot does suck but its not terrible. People usually park, go in and grab their beer/​vodka/​whiskey/​soju/​sake, pay and then leave so its a fast rotation of cars in and out. Go here for soju and sake. They have an amazing selection

I’ve been here a few times recently. The parking is kind of a pain, because you are literally right off the service road of 75. So be careful when backing out.
They do have an AWESOME selection of wines, sake, and champagne! Their beer selection seemed decent as well. One night that I went I noticed there was a wine tasting being held off in a private room. Note to self — check into this. I also noticed a sign saying that they deliver. I assume for big parties, but that seems cool none-​the-​less.
If cigars are your thing, they have a small room full of them (humidor, right?).
The salespeople have been friendly on each visit. I bought a couple bottles of champagne on Saturday, and the saleslady took the price tags off before they sacked them up for me.
Their prices are a little higher than some other liquor stores that I go to, so that’s why I only gave three stars. If this is your neighborhood store, I don’t think you’d be disappointed.

Whatever Sameer! I, too, have noticed the change in ownership and I think the service is a big improvement. I find the new owner to be very knowledgeable, friendly and personable… not creepy! So ‘swerve’ on over to Goody Goody but, Monticello Liquor is the best liquor store in town.

I used to love this place. It’s walking distance from my house, so when I’m wasted I can walk to the store and continue to get my swerve on. However, the Koreans that owned it sold it to a new guy. He’s alright, but kinda creepy and he stares at you. He’s also creeped out my neighbors wife and tried to force a conversation with her. I’ve noticed this as well. I’m going to Goody Goody on Greenville from now on. It’s an extra few blocks but I can still walk there.

I found this place while I was searching for Korean Soju. One of the Unilocaler told me this place carries some asian liquor. Soon, I remembered that I have been to this store years ago based on Simon (from Simon’s Sushi) suggestion to get some good sake.
Like Joeseph noted, the parking lot is a bit small. I had to maneuver several times to get my SUV out of there.
At the end, I did get my soju at the price of $ 7. It is higher than i expected, but it is better than nothing…
Asides from soju, they also carry varities of sake, and chinese liquor.
Check it out if you have time!

Parking kinda sucks because you may have to back out into the street to get out. Other than that it’s good stuff. The thing that got my attention was the wide selection of Asian beers, wines, and liquors. Also another tip is that if you become a regular and talk to the owner or who ever is at the register they might hook you up with a discount of some sort. :)
