B&B Liquor Warehouse — Local services in Tulsa

2021 edit: Whisk(e)y prices are no longer competitive for the area, the mark-up is now often 7-20% higher than several nearby stores. While the inventory is still phenomenal and the beer/mixers selection unrivaled, I can't justify most bourbon or Scotch pickups here when I can do better a block away. That said, most may not care if a given under $100 bottle is $3-$15 higher considering the enormous variety and reasonably competitive enough prices on the low/mid-range when just grabbing the occasional weekender, but for someone spending a few hundred per week building a collection (and having frequented dozens of area retailers and deeply familiar with area pricing trends), I fear I now only visit sparingly to check for hard to find bottles knowing I'll pay a premium. Last visit, despite locating about 15 bottles on my "acquire next list", only 6 were not the most expensive I'd yet seen, and of those only 2 were notable "deals" (one on clearance). While variation is to be expected, and some places tend to be higher on a few then lower on others, the balance here is higher much more often than not. [Please note, this only applies to the Scotch/bourbon/Irish selection, not the rest of the spirits, beers, wine, mixers, etc].

It's still a lovely place with nice staff, great upkeep, and extremely thoughtful curation. If searching for different and exciting brews, hard to find cocktail components, gift sets, accessories, or not to have to run around town to fulfill a shopping list bc time is more valuable, the place is just fantastic. Just not the destination for the bargain hunting collector who wants to stretch his dollar the furthest. ......... One of the best inventories in the area. While creatures of habit may note some bottles at times priced 5%-10% more than a select handful of other more sparcely stocked area stores (and only if one knows where to look), the general value is not only quite good, but for convenience and sheer selection it's an amazing one stop oasis in South Tulsa. I've found a handful of bottles here that more than a dozen competitors failed to stock. Add to that the miraculous myriad of mixers, bountiful barware, and amazingly agreeable employees, and we may have found the booze...

I used to love this place! Lots of variety and some of the nicest workers I've ever seen!

Until I had the displeasure of running into this one older white lady (blonde, wearing a waist trainer or back brace over her shirt)

She decided to make an already very rough birthday, even worse for me! My ID was 1 day expired, so she took it upon herself to raise her voice at me and immediately become extremely unprofessional about this situation!

I would've understood a simple "I'm sorry, you carried it up, and your ID is 1 day expired, so I can't sell to any of you"

We would've left no problem

But, to raise your voice and catch an attitude, making sure just about the entire store knew. Humiliating.

Her coworker saying "Have a good night," in a tone that sounded like she felt bad for us! (I've had her as a cashier several times she's a sweetheart, no notes for her)

And for you to stonewall us as we leave is wild! Wouldn't even turn to look!

Won't be coming back. There's professional ways to...

I have loved this store for around 10 years now. They have great prices and great selection. My wife and I used to live right up the road, and then we moved to Sand Springs, and we continued to make this our stop for drinks on the way home. But due to another customer starting an issue, we will not be back. A driver did an incredibly dangerous move by going around us to turn in to the store while we were waiting to turn on Mingo. I confronted her about it outside, and she proceeded to take it inside cursing at me and playing the victim. She must have said some lie to the manager, and they decided to just take her side and not hear my side of the story. They tried to say I can't come back if it happens again. Well since I was told to not come back again based on absolutely nothing, I won't be. Next time, I suggest you get both sides of story before calling out...
