Vucko’s Liquors

I had just picked up some mail and decided to swing by Time Tunnel Toys at their new location. Unfortunately Time Tunnel was closed for the holidays and I went back to my car. But then I realized I needed to pick up some Passover booze and noticed a liquor store right in front of me. A Passover miracle!
Even more miraculous was their selection of Manischewitz wines. I didn’t even think I would find them here, but they had Blackberry (not kosher for passover, which is a scam, don’t get me started), Cherry, and Cream White Concord. Definitely grabbed the White. These were on the bottom shelf by the wine, next to the other cheap wines, but hey, three varieties.
Now for the liquor: They have a great selection of liquors with a range of vodkas, rums, tequilas, scotch bourbons & whiskeys. I had trouble finding a potato vodka, but the staff pointed out the few options.
But what really impressed me was the slivovitz! Plum brandy, which is Passover safe, is something I’ve been introduced to since coming out here (thank you Teske’s). They had a number of kosher slivovitz, and three from Stara Sokolova. I went with the most expensive bottle and it does have a kick to it.
Great selection, friendly staff that seemed to know everyone. The beer selection was ok, but wasn’t my primary reason for showing up that afternoon.

This is my new neighborhood liquor store! The new Ciroc Pineapple came out today. My GF really wanted it, so I called over 20+ liquor stores throughout East & South San Jose. Total fail, but something told me to stop here on my way home. Might as well, been driving past it for 13 years. Boom! Vucko’s came through in the clutch! First time here; won’t be my last. Tony/​Toni, I believe the owner, was really helpful and encouraged me to come again. Before you go to the bigbox stores i.e., BevMo, give your local store a shot. Maybe they can match. Hopefully I win Powerball lotto here so I can hook the owner up.

Came here after seeing the lotto sign. If we win the Mega Million, I will change it to the full 5. The store is stocked full with wine, beer and other liquor. The cashier was very friendly and seemed to know several of the customers by name.

They stay open late, if you need milk or other general items it’s way faster than Safeway. They have lotto, liquor, rolling papers — everything you need to host a good party.
Sure, the guy behind the counter is a grumpy ethnic dude from the Middle East, but how would you feel if you had to work in a crappy store at 11:30 on a Tuesday night?

Not really happy about my visit here. I turned 21 on Oct 16 and thats the day I went in and I picked out a bottle of Jack Daniels. The clerk said he couldn’t sell it to me because I couldn’t purchase it until it was a full 24hours after my birthday. The clerk was also rude when I was dealing with him so I took my business to Safeway across the street and didn’t have a problem buying it

I’m giving Vucko’s 5 stars because of the service. I went in with my friend looking for those pink rockstar drinks, they didn’t have them so the guy asked us what we were looking for, so we told him and said how they were kind of hard to find. Only select stores carry them. So we bought another drink and left. We ended up returning a few days later and he special ordered us the rockstars! Its not every day clerks will listen and go out of their way to special order something. They listen to their customers and thats a plus.

They have a good selection of liqueurs here. I couldn’t find any Crème de Cacao at Safeway or at another liquor store in the area, but Vucko’s had both varieties, light and dark.
Also, the owner helped me find the things I was looking for and carry them to the register.

I have been going here for years. The people are friendly, service is great and I will continue to support them as well.

I love Vucko’s the guys are very nice. I go there so much that they even know my name and always greet me when i come in. I buy my chewing tobacco there and they always keep fresh cans in stock. There also have great prices on Liquor too. Very friendly and clean. If you looking for a great liquor store with everything that 7 – 11 has minus the coffee and Icees then Vuckos is the place to go.

I am also a big fan of Vucko’s. I live 20 minutes away and will not hesitate to drive there when I am in need of the small items. This is a family owned business that I will continue to support where ever I live in the bay area. Thanks for having quality prices & treating your customers like family!

Big fan of Vucko’s. Great everyday low prices and friendly service. Give them a shot next time you are thinking of heading to one of the Big Chain Grocery Stores.
