“I come here all the time, it's quick and painless. Nick, the owner, and his wife are really kind and funny, too. They have a very large selection of wines (liquor, beer and cider, too), including a large variety of refrigerated white and sparkling wines which I love! They also carry all the Fairfax treats, kombucha, matté, and clif bars, (etc.). Get to know your local business owners! These ones are great! Also, if you don't see what you're looking for, ask nick and he will probably offer to try carrying it in the shop.”
“Parking spaces are available. Delicious hot and cold dishes, salads and desserts to choose from. All dishes are weighed and paid for. The vegetarian curry was very tasty. Great selection of cookies, muffins and soft drinks. Seating is available outside.”
“Zee and Kylie are simply the best. Every customer is treated with kindness and respect. They have a large variety of options with wine and general alcohol. Some really cool finds! 😎 such a cool place to visit! Highly recommend!”

“We love Beer Craft so much! When I was diagnosed celiac I had to keep eating gluten for a week until my endoscopy so I went there for my last beer. They let me try so many beers until I had the perfect last beer ever. And now that I can’t have gluten there is always a gluten free option there I can have and I am so thankful. It used to be otherwise, but I just got groundbreaker and I’m begging for you to always carry it! It’s the best GF beer I’ve had yet by far!”
“Top shelf customer service, great value throughout, absolutely love their membership discounts, and just discovered their highly acclaimed, well-researched, fun, & highly educational wine tasting and wine-pairing courses for a super reasonable price. Definitely not to be missed! Absolutely love Total Wine and more!”
“Friendly staff that knows your name. I’ve known Amman for 20 years. They always let you keep the change.
On the other hand, questionable clientele”
“Very cute store first off! My mom and I love cost plus world market and when ever we travel we always check them out! This one had a lot of good items and we ended up spending over $300 however the customer service from our check out girl was not kind at all. Pia was very rude and spoke to us very bluntly and disrespectful tone. She also over charged my mom charging her for something twice and when she ask my mom if she wanted a bag she just said “do you want a bag” and not a kind way, like you should when you are in customer service. When she was bagging my items she was just throwing them in the bag. I had candles and fragile items and she was very rough with them. Other than that the store was great!”
“Good neighborhood liquor store. Not everything but good alternatives.large cold beer section and some convenience food like milk. Surprisingly the beer price was less than Safeway. Go there for quick in and out and easy parking at front door.”
“The owner is extremely kind and proud of his business. He is the new owner, greets his customers by name. He has an amazing selection of spirits, wine and everything you need to make a fantastic cocktail. Don’t hesitate to do your local booze buying from this place!”
“This liquor store is a market with lots of variety. It has a good selection of non-alcoholic beverages like juice. It's a fun place to explore and see what they have just in case you don't want to go to the grocery.”
“To completely honest, Souvenir was the highlight of our visit to San Anselmo. This wine and vinyl shop is both aesthetically pleasing with the substance to match. Love the book selection in the back. The owner was super kind and helped us select a bottle to gift. Highly, highly recommend swinging by if you're in the area.”

“So glad to have the venerable Kermit Lynch represented on this side of the bay—where good wine in a retail setting is, for whatever reason, difficult to come by. At this point there’s a more limited selection than at the Berkeley HQ, but hopefully over time they’ll fill it out a bit more.”
“While not quite the nirvana as the name suggests, Paradise Wine & Spirits can be a wonderful oasis for your boozy needs. You'll find them in East Corte Madera in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it location (a hop/skip/and jump away from Nugget Market). This liquor store's been a Marin County staple for years. I remember trying to buy beer here with my fake ID in high school over 20 years ago (spoiler alert: it didn't work). This place ain't fancy by any means. You'll pretty much find beer, spirits, candy, snacks, and some random canned food & cleaning products. It's not exactly what I think about when I hear the word "Paradise," but this place always has what you need when you're in a jam, so in a way, I could argue that's quite heavenly. Long review short, this is a solid liquor/convenient store option when you're in Marin. They have plenty of free parking in the front. And I gotta give them props for adhering to all the proper Covid-19 safety guidelines (masks, gloves, and a glass partition between the customer and cashier).”
“Drove here to pick up a bourbon order. Nice small shop with a very large wine selection. The bourbon and whiskey selection was not bad. Allocated bottles were set at museum prices though, high above secondary.
Very nice staff. Just wish they would not listen to their distributors or brand reps to set pricing on allocations.”

“It's amazing that they have added delivery during covid. Lots of wine, craft beer, spirit collections and a lot more. Stop by and check it out . Friendly staff and super clear store, never runs out of propane tanks.”
“They have a nice selection of snacks and brews! Every Liquor you could ask for. They have friendly people who work there. Service is excellent every time I go there. I'd go there 10x/10”
“A perfect store. Jordan is without a doubt the single greatest manager that has ever walked the Earth. I can say truthfully and without embellishment that I personally witnessed the clouds part and a heavenly corpuscular ray illuminated Jordan's face as he was performing inventory one morning. The breadth and scope of his viticultural erudition defies belief but this walking, talking encyclopedia really does know anything you could possibly want to know about the trappings of fermented grape products. As a veteran of the American microbrewery boom, Jordan's musings on the Cambrian explosion of beer styles can border on tendentious, but only a fool would deny his mastery of zythology, the evidence of which is his Michelin-star artesanal brewery that he operates out of his home cellar. His careful curation of fine spirits makes him my go-to cognoscente when I buy premium scotches for my peepaw, who has just turned 170 years old this past weekend. Jordan actually surprised my peepaw for his birthday by jumping out of the Scotch bottle when he opened it, a feat the mechanics of which I have not yet figured out, but the point isn't that he makes David Blaine look like a strip-mall magician, but rather that the depth of his compassion for all humanity is second only to the Lord and King of Heaven, Jesus Christ. I would be remiss to not include that he is likely to become the godfather of my children, whenever I end up having children, but I also haven't asked him yet, because I'm shy.”

“We had BevMo deliver liquor, wine, beer, water, and ice for our wedding. Jay walked us through the ordering process, quickly pulled stock from other BevMos close by to get exactly what we were looking for, accommodated last minute changes, and was exactly on time with the delivery. He was prompt and communicative, and we never felt he was overselling us or trying to get us to buy more than we needed.”
“Was disappointed that this business is not open on Saturday or Sunday, came from far away to shop there, after noticing me lurking out front an employee was kind enough to let me in to buy a few bottles, amazing customer service, great selection, would recommend, hopefully they will reconsider being open on weekends.”
