11 reviews for O'Looney's Market
Amazing hours, and they always seem to have exactly what I need, regardless of how esoteric it may be (like Ben and Jerry's Phish Food ice cream).
The ultimate in sketchiness, but who cares? It's the Lower Haight.
The Dark Lord loves the hours that they keep. It's perfect after a long night of collecting souls
the famous market for ray huffman, peter haskett and tony ...the subjects of "Shut Up Little Man" from when they lived at 227 Steiner Street....now a shrine
This place deserves four or five stars for the name. I can't be sure, but I'm pretty can't-be-sure that the name was at one point authentic. I doubt it is now. Why? Well, because most places owned by Irish guys with weird names don't have coin jars labeled "FOR THE CHILDREN OF GAZA" on their counters, but you know.*
This place was all set to receive four stars from me. I came in here hoping, praying they would carry RC. And look! I got the very last RC they had. And it was actually cold. But when I went to pay, the dude charged me $1.75 for twenty ounces of corn syrup. You're kidding me, right? How much does forty ounces of malt liquor cost? Roughly the same as the same amount of soda? C'mon, dude, lay off.
So if they don't have RC when I come in here next time, they're down to two stars.
*And if I wanted to be mean, I could make a rude assumption and somehow connect the IRA with Hamas, but that's so late '90s. Just so I'm an equal-opportunity pisser-offer, I'll make the direct connection between an immoral, terroristic military offensive against a hopelessly unarmed people by a crazed, self-important, convinced-of-its-own-righteousness-in-all-cases government [that would be Israel] and our own pathetic government, which has never seen a weapons deal it doesn't love. In short, you're paying for the targeting of civilians in the Gaza Strip--I'm assuming, of course, that you pay taxes.
I love the Mohamed's. They are great guys. Did you know the Dad (the eldest Mohamed) has something like 42 grandkids? That's just amazing in a sort of over populating the world way.
I go here almost everyday. There is always something I need at their store.
I also know that when I am in there I am either totally safe, or in the firing line. They take no shit in this place at all. Young Mohamed has a temper on him and he has no compunctions to letting it rip when he feels threatened.
LIVE FREE OR DIE. O'Looneys? You mean, Mohamed's? I spent so much money on total shit at that place, but that's the point, right? Get the figs - they are dirt cheap and satisfy your hankering for sweets. But I hate not having access to the candy bars, and you have to ask them to grab you a Milky Way Dark and then you feel totally pathetic and embarrassed...
Love this place, always open late, they carry Kroneberg most of the time(my favorite bottled beer at 1in the morning), not to mention Mohamed, elder and junior, are very kind.
Where else am I willing to wait "five minutes" to by a six pack of beer. O'Looney's! The apex of Lower Haight. More than a satisfying beer selection for a non corner store. And when I want to class it up, there isn't a bad wine selection either. Oh man and who can deny the breathtaking array of Ben & Jerry's at the counter. Toot sweet.
Mohamed and Junior rule. I have had a longer relationship with them than I have with any other liquor store owners/employees/family. Amazing selection of beers, you can play name that liquor and probably find it, and there are GREAT deals on Alize.
Does anybody drink Alize? Ask Junior about his Alize discount. Nasty. What were those rappers thinking mentioning Alize. WTF???
This was one of the only places I could find Brass Monkey through the 90's, but it has gone the way of the dinosaurs. Too damn bad.
This is the LAST place open in the Lower Haight. "Damn... it's 1:45 and we are running out of beer/smokes/Jameson/etc. Oh. O'Looneys!!!"
They have hot pockets and frozen burritos. I never eat those, but my friend Misty swears by their hot pockets. Hot pockets sounds like a bi-porn in the 70's. (Terry and her/his Hot Pockets get Loose)
Name a better liquor store. I know of a few that are on par with this joint, but really. Name one.
I thought so.
I've lived a few doors down from there for 6.5 years and they are the best. Love both the Mohameds, they often have Strongbow cider (only liquor that I know of that carries the stuff!), they do me little favours, they always know the word on the street - I have never known a cooler neighbourhood shop. Not alot in the way of heath food but what do you expect from a liquor store?!
the only place my roommate and i go to get our pbr fix, if we're too lazy to walk the extra 4 blocks to safeway that is.
