King Blvd Liquor Store

That general manager (Brandon) of theirs is a bad ass!! Is there anything that this man does not know about liquor??!! A great experience!! Every! Single! Time!

They save bottles in back for friends, you can't but the good stuff. Go to Tony's place on Willians instead or anywhere else. When answering question seems like an inconvenience you probably need to find another line of work.

I have been going to this place off and on for the last year since I've moved here. Interactions are always so-so and the staff don't recognize you, but it's a liquor store and we've been wearing masks, so whatever. They will blatantly lie to your face about their stock if you're looking for something special. Went in recently, looked around and asked if they had any special bottles of anything, and they guy didn't even make eye contact with me, just mumbled, barely addressed me and stared off into space, it was honestly one of the strangest interactions I've had with someone in customer service, ever. I hop on the OLCC website the next morning because of how odd that interaction was, and sure enough, they actually did receive some nice stock and just lied about it. They seem to be holding it for their friends or holding it for employees, totally shady. With so many liquor stores in that area, you would think developing relationships with your locals and allowing them to buy nice things from you would be a priority of a business like this.

Good people if you have some questions about buying something just wrap with the employees let them know what you like and if they don't have that they have good suggestions for you. Be open minded as they might have you pegged as a consumer of what they suggest more than you realized. Just take it home sip on it and then after a few drinks say "damn this is goooood!!" Also they can recommend some good value sales.

OPEN ON CHRISTMAS. Need I say more? Expansive, reasonably priced, helpful+friendly staff. Private parking lot next door. Easy to spot from street.

Sells mixers, too--but no wine or beer (I guess that's a thing in Oregon? IDK I'm from LA)

Cheers!

The staff here really know their stuff. Most people come in, get a bottle, and leave, but if you actually asked them about their products they'd have a run down of pretty much everything sold. Maybe they're alcoholics, or maybe they got the job because they wanted to be sommeliers, but either way I really appreciated the help picking some unique bourbons and tequila's out.

Full disclosure: I'm Canadian, and this is literally the only place I stopped in to get liquor during my trip. I have absolutely no clue how the prices/selection here stack up against other stores in Portland, but I know compared to Vancouver BC Canada they do really well.

They are so friendly and knowledgeable. Dog owners, take note, your pup is allowed in the store and may even get a treat!

Small, unassuming liquor store with a decent selection and fair prices.

The parking can be tough, but it's manageable if you're stopping by when it's not rush hour, or a weekend and peak times.

The customer service has always been good.

Really there is nothing to complain about, but at the same time nothing to write home about. If I lived in that part of town, I would probably be a regular for spirits (don't come here looking for your favorite craft beer), but since I'm really interested in selection and new offerings, I almost always make the trek to total wine.

The only real downsides are the weird parking and the limited selection of beers and wines. They do have some top shelf spirits, but you're better off going elsewhere for something like that if you're spending alot of money for something special.

Great open well-stocked liquor store! Staff (may have been the owner) was very friendly and respectfully engaging. Gave me some great advice on a single barrel select Buffalo Trace. His comments were spot on! Delicious! I will be back for more...

There is free parking next to the building, watch out for the street walkers that hang out around the parking lot.The store was clean, great customer service. The prices were reasonable.
