Black Rose Liquor — Attraction in Gresham

One of the best in the area. The store is owned, operated, and staffed by knowledgeable, friendly, people that are not only passionate about their business but fun to engage with. You’re greeted as soon as you walk in to a store that is always clean and stocked with a well curated a selection of alcohol and mixers. There are also regular tastings from local distributors, brewers, and distillers; they have raffles and giveaways; and they have allowed small shop food vendors to do pop-ups out front from time to time. It is a great shop on its own, what sets them apart and elevates them is that they are local supporting local and empowering BIPOC and women in business. So happy to have them in the community - stop by...

Doors just opened on the 4th of July. I was the second person to be serviced. I went grabbed my bottle and waited in line as the cashier had his head down looking at something.... he eventually asked me did I need something? I said yes, would like to purchase this bottle; he said you can just place it on the counter. I told him I was waiting for a Goodmorning, welcome in, any kind of acknowledgement that I was there. He instantly got a attitude, started mumbling stuff as I walked out. I went back in and asked him what did he say because I didn't hear him and he said he was on the phone. POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE FROM A BLACK WOMAN TO A BLACK MAN. You MUST DO BETTER!!!!!!...

We started coming here about a year ago, and the experience has just gotten better and better. Wallace is always ready with a huge smile and a hug, Dominica has sadly moved on, but we love that girl. Keith, the owner, is one of the best people you will ever meet. He was able to help me round out a collection I had been working on, and he was genuinely pleased and delighted to do so. It is a joy to go into this store and just puts a smile on our faces. These are truly kind and generous people, and the entire staff is eager to help you find what you need, not just because it is their job, but because they are just good people. Thank you Black Rose crew, you are...
