Michael’s Liquor

Very little English comprehended or spoken. They don’t understand common questions and come across as if they don’t care if they have your business or not.

I went for Live Scan Fingerprinting for a Visa Application. I was a little thrown off when the location turned out to be a liquor store — very unprofessional. I’m surprised the government issues them a license. It took the guy forever to enter the information into his computer which was in the middle of a bunch of papers and clutter on the counter, really unorganized. Another guy who was yelling on the phone offered me a wooden stool in the middle of the store I could sit on — it was really quite strange.
I went immediately after to the post office to put my application in the mail to the Dept of Justice, and when I got home I got a voicemail from the guy who processed my prints saying that he wrote down the wrong date. When I called Harry (the guy who was on the phone the whole time) he was very cavalier about it and said it’s no big deal. The DOJ says on their website it takes 3 – 4 weeks to process so I’ll be really upset if I am not notified in a timely manner that there is no problem with my application.
The fact that the government has licensed a liquor store for this service has me confounded. Weird.

It’s a dank and run down liquor store for you to feel like you’re in a David Fincher movie. Every purchase comes with a cup of sadness. It’s convenient to where I live and they are just about on par with every other liquor store on the street.

Fast Service. No Complaint except for the guys on drugs who bumped into me as I was leaving the store and didnt say anything. Not Safe For ladies to buy liquir late as the parking lot is behind the store and its very dark.

This is a convenient, local liquor store. What do you expect? It doesn’t have the best selection of beer, wine, or liquor, and the prices are a little high. But it exists, and it’s pretty much always open when I need it. Can you ask for anything more?

Variety of wines and spirits. Limited street parking. Store could use an improvement on the cleanliness. Staff could improve on customer service skills.

Wow! I came here for a livescan… The owner is rude, always shouting at someone into his phone, or being disparaging to the workers, and it took an hour and a half. I knew I made a mistake when I walked in and it was a liquor store… Oops… This place should rethink The way it treats its customers particularly when it’s catering to the professional customer. Also, the poor men who work here for the rudest owner ever should know that they don’t deserve to be treated that way. In summary, please dear God do not come here.

Enjoyable liquor store. It has a gritty, blue collar old Santa Monica feel to it… the way the city used to be before the fancy developments and foreign money came. They have an incredible liquor selection and fairly reasonable prices for them. A wide range of snacks and drinks that are also priced more like a lower income neighborhood than Santa Monica. They also offer notary and Live Scan fingerprinting from 9 to 5… the owner Henry is fast and capable at it, but his assistants are very slow. It is more convenient to do notary and Live Scan here than other places because you can just walk in, no hassle, and there is easy free parking in the back.

Painfully slow service. I came to get something notarized and it took 45 minutes despite calling before coming over and being told it would take 10 minutes.
