Ray's Liquor Center — Local services in San Diego

More a classic liquor store than community bodega, Ray's liquor really delivers for its namesake.

Their selection of wine is enormous, liquor enormous, beer cold and respectable. And, yeah, there are some dry goods, but the food selection is pretty barren. Although, you aren't coming here for your groceries. You can go to Parkside Market up the street for that.

You're coming here for your drinking needs and Ray's has never come up short. They have rotating selections of boutique liquors on special as well which is always a nice chance to try something new. I found Aviation gin here and have since become quite enamored with that product.

Ray's is hands down the best community liquor store...

My husband and I just moved near this liquor store and it has made our move so easy. They have almost everything you could need when you’re in a bind. They have so many unique snacks that we’ve been enjoying trying. Their prices are extremely fair too which I was honestly surprised by. Honestly can’t say enough kind things about the staff. We haven’t even been in our new apartment a full week and we already know most of the staff by name and most of them remember us. It really had made this neighborhood feel like home. I just had to write a review to say thank you for making this move a little bit...

Friendly and convenient place to buy “just” about everything but the kitchen sink (Ray would find you one if you really needed one)!!! Been a regular stop for me getting odds n ends but this store owner and staff are doing above and beyond the call of duty keeping it stocked during this pandemic. I found items in the store I could not get or find in larger grocery stores. This store has an amazing wine selection and kombucha on tap!!! Bonus and great asset to our neighborhood. Thanks and will always patron your store for...
