Ernie’s Wines & Liquors

Old food! Check expiration dates! Hot and spicy sunflower seeds had best by dates of 2013! And it’s 6÷15÷15 as of this note!

I used to stop by this place after a Target trip to grab a quick drink before heading home. The first time I came in, the cashier looked at my LEGITIMATE, IN-​STATE driver’s license, scoffed at it and said «ha, okay» and proceeded to sell to me anyway. My other few encounters with him always ended the same way: he’d give me this «are you serious”/bored look as I checked out and treated me like a child before finishing the transaction. It’s a shame that the other negative reviews have been filtered on Unilocal,because this place sucks. Unless you’re underage I guess, because he clearly will sell you liquor even though he thinks your ID is fake. ugh

WOW this store is really awesome. Me and boys always come here because of the cheap Hennessy they got. The employee are really chill they HOOK IT UP with the prices. Really great prices on beers also. Great Selection of IPA’S… This store has good collection of Alcohol. A really good place to check out! Definitely the LOWEST prices in the Area.

It is w/​in a 2 mile radius from the casa.
It served its purpose; quenched my thirst even though I drove w/​the intention to get a diet soda, I got a bottle of water. I guess I just needed to be out for a few.
Not feeling myself lately. Well, I am myself. just a little down.
At least I have not binged. That is what I normally do.

I’ve come here several times to buy a lottery ticket while waiting for my pizza at Round Tables. The cashier seemed chill and chats it up with customers. They seem to have a good variety of liquors, I’ll check it out one day to see the prices.
There are a few parking spots out front designated specifically for the store. There’s plenty of parking, because it’s in the plaza with Target.

Ernie’s is a little spot hidden in the target plaza. They have pretty decent prices. Considering it’s a liquor store and everything is marked up. Still not bad on pricing. I also like the fact that you can get water there. 25 cents for a gallon. Even though their sign stats 20 cents a gallon. The only bad thing is that they close early. I’m used to liquor stores closing around 1 or 2 in the morning. They close at midnight.

Ernie’s is like my version of Cheers. I come here a lot for my Hennessy fix. The employees all know me and when I’m there they don’t need to ask what I’m there for… they just ask what size and where the party’s at.
Prices are normal as far as liquor stores go. They’ll have specials on their liquor. Instead of paying $ 38 for a 5^th of Henny on sale you can get it for $ 29 but if you go to Costco you can get a bottle for $ 22.99 EVERYDAY.
Liquor stores are for convenience and that’s why I go to Ernie’s. It’s 5 min drive from home and the guys working are always friendly.

I’m always warmly greeted by the cashier when i enter the store and make my way to the cheap beer in the back. Sometimes they play some really cool Indian music in the store, which gives the place a cool vibe.
They got every MadDog color/​flavor you could ever want. Their tall can, individual bottle, and 40oz selection is pretty extensive.

I like Ernie’s. I really do. They are close and convenient. That’s the purpose of a liquor store right? When BevMo and Rite Aid is closed we usually head to Ernie’s cause they’re a little cheaper than Lucky’s. The guys that work there are friendly and will chat you up esp if you’re a girl.
–1 star cause of their out dated Playboy magazines. My husband said they had magazines from summer of 2008. Who does that?!! Ernie’s does, hahaha.
Lesson learned: Go for the liquor, snacks and whatever else. Don’t bother with the magazines.
P.S.
I’m not a perv. I just wanted to buy the March 2009 cause I’m an Aubrey O’Day fan :)

They serve a pretty good selection of Djarum clove cigarettes too, which is nice since the USA on the corner has stopped stocking them.

This place is the bomb diggity.
For all my alcoholic needs, Ernies is always there to hook a sister up on a Monday or Tuesday night when I don’t feel like getting drunk outside the comfort of my own bedroom. We just pick up our goods and get the party crackin at my crib.
My friend frequents this place off the heezy and the Indian owners pretty much know her by, «sweetheart». hahah
Indian Owner Dude: «The usual hennessy and Grey goose?»
Me and friend: «You know it!»
Indian Owner Dude: «Ooooooh, Whurs da barty at tonight?»
Me: «Uhhhhhhh… my house.»
[intentional awkward silence to conclude conversation then and there.]
Sometimes they get special orders in of their 1 gallon hennessy bottle which my friend could pretty much drink all to herself. They even hook us up with a discount on that thing… tightness.
