Avoid this place or shop at your own risk. I went to this store and simply inquired about a price they had on a pappy van winkle bottle. Their manager advised me to call the distillery to determine if their price ($600) was an accurate retail price. I took her up on this and got the distillery on the phone who stated the price for retail is $99. Once the distillery confirmed this the manager started talking over the phone call and telling me to leave the store. Mind you she was following me around and provoking me the entire time I was on the phone. I asked to speak to her boss as I would like to report to them how she is treating customers as well as discuss their pricing structure further. An older man came out of an office bearing a cane and told me to leave his store. Apparently they do not like to be called out on their pricing. As I was leaving the store the manager called the police to tell them I was being aggressive and threatened them with a gun (neither of which was true). Both of the individuals were following me out the store and stated they would take a picture of my car. I advised them to stop pursuing me as I was cooperating with their request and that I took them following me as a threat. The police showed up, the store had no evidence and the manager was trying to take picture of my car as I was pulling out. Long story short the management/ownership is psychotic and I would not recommend anyone shop here. I hope they go out...

This is now under new ownership. He has a wide variety of options, like the previous ownership, but I think that's left over from them too. Some prices on common things are ok, but not great. The bad review is because he has no idea what some of his stuff is, and anything he thinks is rare or valuable, he looking it up online and asking for the highest "asking" price he can find, even though it would never sell for that. My experience: He has 1 last case of Opus One (current vintage of 2014). He took them out of their crate in the temperature controlled wine room, put them in a glass cabinet at the front of the store that's not temp controlled, standing them straight up. He told me $499.99 because "they're rare and you can't get them anywhere else", and he can go online and sell them in auction for "well over $500." Clearly he's clueless to understand the difference between older vintages and newer, and he doesn't have a clue how to store them. Total Wine has them in stock (confirmed) and sells for $320 + tax. I told him that, but he shook his head and just said "no." Who knows how he'll be long term, but for now it's clear he'll be just like the previous ownership and not sell fair retail prices on anything his distributor gets him he believes is rare. We all have enough options in this industry, so I'd shop elsewhere if I were you. Regulars buying bottom shelf likely will be unaffected to keep their...

Went here this evening after needing something to help with my allergies. Every year this time I get cold like symptoms from my allergies including a scratchy throat. But, a hot tottie always seems to help; and liq-o-Rama did not fail to disappoint at all. Their prices are a little bit higher than other spots and their location is a little sketchy, but they do have some great deals and I was able to walk out with some whiskey, three large shots of fireball, and a large can of spiked seltzer for $20?!? Where else can this happen?!? It is right by my work too, which makes it super convenient to pop by and grab something when I've had a long day. They also have a great beer and wine selection and the lady at the counter was cordial and recommended the pineapple infused whiskey I selected, which turned out to be amazing!!

I would recommend checking...
