Big Daddy’s Liquors

I’m only giving it 2 stars because the customer service is great, the men working in front of the counter can really sell and they were very helpful in getting me what I requested. However, the general manager should not be a manager and should retire. He looks like he doesn’t enjoy working or doing anything at all. It totally breaks the vibe from the liquor store. It a shame, because the young men working really sell and greet guests who are coming in, they should really get promoted instead of this general manager who goes by the name Larry. I also wish Big Daddy’s had more tastings with different wines, beers, and cocktails. It would make a big different if they had more options of brands to try. Everything else is great, except for that general manager that needs to be let go. Not coming back until he does.

You can’t go wrong with this place. It’a my preferred stop for all Alcohol-​related purchases. Basically, the reason my freezer is here. I guess they hooked me with the rewards card. You spend $ 25, and you get a point. 10 points gets you a $ 20 gift card next door. Since they have an actual parking lot, and I spend money on this stuff anyways, why not just come here and get an occasional trip to Flanigans next door? I always go for the Skinny Girl Wine and the flavored vodka. Sometimes, I’ll get snazzy and buy some Ronchata which is seriously delicious and perfect for the holidays (Everyday is a holiday). Most of the time, I know what I want. Since their inventory always varies, I like to take a few different stuff and make my way home with it. Why go anywhere else? The staff is always super chipper and helpful. I can’t see a single flaw here. Keep it up guys… Now, if only you delivered …

This is my go to liquor store in the Miami Beach area (worth driving the couple extra blocks north) and they have a free parking lot. The prices and the selection beat any other stores in the area by a landslide and they also have a rewards program (bonus!!). For every $ 250.00 you spend, you get a $ 20.00 gift card to Flanagan’s (yay for free food). The points do not expire. (Easy to rack up points when you volunteer to do the pre-​Saturday night pregame liquor run). The staff is always friendly and they know where to find all of their products. The store is always stocked very well so you won’t find yourself making multiple stops. I’ve called ahead numerous times to have them have my order put aside for me, talk about customer service! This is not a place to go to for beer. Beer selection is small and expensive. They also close at 10:00 PM and 10:00 PM IS 10:00 PM. If you show up at 10:01 PM, you will be s.o.l and my guess is that is a city of Surfside ordinance. Best of the beach.

The guys are friendly and very helpful, there’s free parking in the back lot (which is practically unheard of anywhere in the beach), and the selection is pretty big. The prices are competitive and you can also get a free rewards card that will give you a $ 20 gift card for Flannigan’s after collecting 10 points.
TIP: this is one of the few places in the entire country that carries Hierbas Ibicencas. If you know what it is, then you’re welcome. ;)

I stopped here to grab a bottle of rum. There is a very convenient parking lot located behind the store.
I am a fan of the Ten Cane rum, and I was glad they had it. When I was checking out, the guy came from behind the register and walked us over to the rum section. He gave us some recommendations for the next time we were in the market for some rum.
This could have been a generic liquor store experience, but the thoughtful customer service actually made it memorable.

Ran in here while staying in Surfside to grab a bottle of rum. Didn’t really look around too much since I knew what I was going in for. They had my favorite brand of rum which is a plus and the store was easy to navigate to find the type of liquor you are looking for. Price was a little bit more than what I pay for it at home in TX but not too much. The real standout item of the shop was the employee. I regret not catching his name because I would love to give him props for being so friendly and even coming from behind the counter to walk us back over to the rum section to show us a rum we should try the next time that is his favorite. He genuinely seemed happy to be there and was so welcoming.
Oh, and they have a private FREE lot for the liquor store behind the building.

Warm atmosphere, helpful and friendly folks who give the place a happy small-​town booze shopping experience.
Buy enough and they’ll hook you up with a $ 20 gift card for food at the Flanigans restaurant nearby.
