39th Mini Mart is pretty much as good as it gets for a mini mart.
The first time I came in for an energy drink or something family friendly. As I walked around the perimeter of the store along the cold cases I thought to myself, "wow, this place has some nice beer." As I continued my stroll I realized, "hmmm, and quite a variety too." I walk a bit further and think "holy hell, the beer cases never end!!" This mini mart has a killer selection of cold beer. It rocks!
I turned and looked behind me and realized that there were two flipping isles of wine too! This felt like a happy welcome to the neighborhood. Just a couple blocks away is a fantastic selection of booze. Aww yeah.
Beyond the alch they have a thorough selection of smokes. Lots of chips, candy, and ice creams. So basically everything you need.
The staff rocks and remembered me on my second visit.
They also have some pretty good deals. 3/$5 Rockstars. $3.89 pack of Marb 27's (I don't smoke them, but my friends do and that is CHEAP). And beer specials too.
The only thing that bums me out about this place is their $0.50 debit card fee. But, you know what, I'm over it. I just bring cash now. -

Still an amazing and ever-growing selection of beers (they claim 1,000, which I cannot confirm, but I wouldn't be surprised...) and wait, what WHAT? A remodel!
Wooooo, shiny.
Still one of the best mini-marts around simply based on the ultra-amazing beer selection, very reasonable prices for said selection, and utter lack of pretension for such a large selection.
Word up.Listed in: Beer Me!, Grocery Stores, OLCC Me, ASAP!

39th Mini Mart ranks 5-stars in my book for the beer selection alone. They claim over 1,000… Read more »

Don B mentioned this place to me, raving about their beer selection - while I of course didn't think he was exaggerating, I still wasn't quite prepared for just how good it would be.
It's located on SE 39th a little south of Belmont, just behind my regular gas station (http://www.yelp.com/bi...) so the last time I filled up I decided to check it out.
They've got at least 8 or 9 coolers of really good beer; and by that I mean domestic craft brews (from all across the country) and interesting imports. Sure, they've got another bunch of coolers where you can get macro brews (PBR, Coors, the Beast, etc), and the big local "micros" (Bridgeport, Widmer, Full Sail, etc) are also represented - but that stuff you can find ANYWHERE.
But Delirium Tremens? Humboldt Brewing Company? Hair of the Dog? HUB? Lazy Boy? Walking Man? New Old Lompoc? Green Flash? Often more than one variety from each brewer! Sure, you might find one or two of these at New Seasons, or even QFC or Freddies, but all of them? In one spot? And that spot not named John's Market or Belmont Station? Seriously impressive!
They've got 6'ers or bombers, and as Don noted the prices are at least as good, often better, than Belmont Station. Pretty ballsy to take on the "big boy on the block" (in fact, 39th Mini Mart is CLOSER to Belmont St than Belmont Station now!)
Aside from the beer it's a pretty sparsely stocked convenience store. All the basics - pop, chips, candy, advil, smokes, etc. They also sell fresh-made subs (Four....four....four-dollar footlongs! - take that $ubway), but the ingredients don't stray far from the most standard fare (roast beef, turkey, salami, pastrami, etc). I've never tried one, but I watched them make one for another customer (who claimed to have one every other day), and they looked pretty decent, and took their time making it to order. I think they stop making them at 8pm.
The store closes at 2:30am - which means that hours after Belmont Station has closed their bottle shop, you can still pop in here for a high quality, interesting beer.
This place will blow away all but the most jaded of beer aficionados. There may be a few places with better selections of beer (not many, but a few), but none as stealth as the 39th Mini Mart. I walked out with a bottle of Pliny the Elder and the promise that I'd be back, sooner rather than later!Listed in: SE Portland

A good selection of brews. More than Fred Meyer on 39th, apparently, since their banner proclaims "Biggest Bottle Shop on 39th"...what else would they be competing against? Pretty big for a convenience store. Small parking lot that is difficult to negotiate in/out.

A regular mini mart with a really good beer selection. Lots of imports and domestics that I've not seen may places. I didn't get any beer when I visited so I can only give it three stars.
