“WOW, just WOW. Mesa Liquor is the little store that COULD! Not only do they have seemingly every possible kind of liquor you might ever need, but they also have some beautiful high-end, hard to find liquors like the sipping tequilas I've bought there this year.

BUT, a store with an astoundingly great inventory is nothing without staff that understands the product.

Rabi is THAT guy. A legit connoisseur who can guide you to discover some truly fine adult beverages. I love being able to talk to someone who has tasted some of the finest flavors and can speak––not from a sales point––but from the perspective of listening to and accurately and deciphering MY tastes.

Yes, Mesa Liquor has become THE place for me and I hope to know Rabi a long, long time. ??”

“Solid local liquor store. Beer and wine but plenty of hard liquor as well. Everything from rock gut to some more well-heeled options, though rock gut is probably predominant. Plenty of good options in between. Nothing fancy, but great for all your basic needs. They also sell ice.”

“Fathi is awesome. Genuinely, it's been a pleasure to have met and built a relationship with him. Great conversations and stories can be had there, along with a wide variety of your "grab and go" convenience needs on the Westside of Santa Barbara. The early bird DOES NOT catch the written here though!”

“Just met the owners/family at the Santa Barbara Roar and Pour. By far the best table at the event and the friendliest! They also had the best wines out of everyone there. I will definitely be heading to there shop for more wine.”

“When I am bicycling through Old Town, I always get a surge of glee when I see that SB Gift Basket is open for walk-up shoppers. I'm sure you can do business with them without ever visiting their charming workshop (which was once a blacksmith operation beore all of us were born.) The atmosphere in this shop is welcoming! They have the world's best parking for bicycles, but those using a car have some additional parking now that Hollister has been redesigned. So don't let parking problems hold you back from a great experience. With OAT bakery across the street, you can have an experience that I find to eclipse the charm of the Funk Zone. More and more, I am enjoying all of the charming businesses in Old Town. And this shop is clearly the most charming of them all.”

“Magnolia Liquors has a new owner and what a world of difference. JJ is so friendly and helpful. He knows me and my dog and always greets us personally. Prices are lower, the store has a pleasant and open feeling and JJ is always ready with a fist bump. His father comes in a couple of days a week to give JJ some time off and he is just as nice. It’s a whole new shop and I highly recommend Magnolia Liquors.

“My favorite liquor store in Santa Barbara. Some others might have a larger inventory, but this place offers off-the-beaten-track options and some nicer selections. Need Rompope or other more esoteric ingredients? This is a great place to try first. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Cash, credit/debit cards accepted. And of course they have mixers and other niceties as well as some hardware for your home bar.”

“This is a small neighborhood store near the 101 freeway on the Westside of Santa Barbara. They have limited parking, and parking lot entrance and exit is 1 way access only. Enter from Mission St, exit on San Pascual St.
They carry food, beverage, and non food items, along with lottery ticket purchases. Employees are friendly.”

“I have been walking here from my house in the neighborhood since I could walk; Westside Market has been a staple of the westside for decades. IMPORTANT INFO: THIS is THE only place to buy lighter fluid/butane in I think all of Santa Barbara after 9pm (til midnight!)PS fun fact: Elias used to own this market; he's the best! Now he owns the smoke shop on De La Vina and Mission called Paradise Smoke Shop; pop on over there for all your tobacco and head change needs ? He and his son run an awesome shop! Cheers!”

“I stopped in here for on 5/15/2025 at 5:17 PM on my way to a concert. Had a little headache, needed a couple Ibuprofen. They had the little 2 dose travel size, exactly what I needed. More importantly though, the young man at the counter was SUPER nice. He had a little something personal and authentically engaging to say to every single customer he interacted with. Thank you!!!”

“Unbelievable experience! I came in to purchase alcohol for my upcoming wedding. Walter was incredible where he helped me find every single item (I had about 100 items purchased) and even helped me find alternatives to what I needed. I could not be more grateful for this experience. Thank you!”

“Always a few cents more than the location near the Ralph's which is a bummer. On the plus side the staff here in the afternoons/evenings are friendly. Easy to get a car wash!”

“The store is clean. The people that work there are so nice, helpful and friendly! I go there once a week for gas and car wash and other little things. The car wash is a little questionable sometimes. But the two guys that direct you into it are excellent and friendly!”

“Basic neighborhood liquor store. Good selection of beer, wine and hard liquor, with the hard liquor selection being adequate but not extensive. All your basics plus some fun out-of-the-ordinary selections. Unless you're looking for something unusual you'll be able to find it here. Prices are reasonable for Santa Barbara.”
