Pacific Grove Bottle Shop — Local services in Pacific Grove

By far the best liquor store in the area. The owner is friendly and knowledgeable, the staff is great and they have always been candid and helpful about finding (and a few times special ordering) my off-the-wall requests for random beer and liquor that I still crave from the few years I spent on the East Coast. They have a great selection of wine, beer, liquor, and all the 'Fixin's / accessories to go with them. They range from the High-End couple hundred dollar bottles to the lower-end ten-dollar bottles too! - No matter the occasion, the craving, or the guests' random request for that dinner you're hosting... they have something that suits everything.

• they're also great at getting the new products on the shelves quickly, clutch quality for those who like to switch things up or be the first to find/try the next...

I used to go here every week for craft beer, they have a fair selection and ok prices on beer. Sometimes I would buy bourbon but if you’re looking for anything above the $50 range expect to be gouged. They recently changed ownership and have decided not to honor gift cards. Pretty wild considering my wife bought me one a month ago and now the $50 is worthless. Clerk said “maybe we’ll get them back in the system.” Whatever that means, (it’s a paper card signed and stamped by an employee). So I’ll be taking my business elsewhere, can’t say I recommend anything they have to offer other than location. Bottom line, if you’re looking for beer go to Whole Foods, for spirits go to a grocery store...

This place is one of my go-to stops for quickly picking up wine, beer, liquor, or lottery tickets. I’ve always found the staff friendly, efficient, and always available to answer my questions. When I mentioned my favorite East Coast lager, they even looked into getting it through their vendor.

It's a great place for locals, military personnel stationed nearby (ask about the military discount!)...
