“Kapel is very polite, he is usually working most times and they have pretty much every alcohol beverage you can think of. If you let them know they don’t have it, they will try and get it.”
“I revisited this store after a year and was amazed by the transformation under the new ownership. It’s incredibly clean and well-organized. The owner is exceptionally courteous and welcoming. The wine and liquor collection, especially premium selections like Yamazaki, is outstanding. Highly recommend checking it out — a hidden gem!”
“Hello I'm diva, a original kid that was raised on the block known as 24. I saw knd mart over the years and they only got better. The energy, the love when I come home is beyond matched. I call it not just my home store, but my rainbow store, full of treats, household things, and many more, not to mention daily stocked with fresh shit. Gne n bring bk the link n salami sandwich. Luv yall
Go check them out.”
“Excellent place to source wine !! Tremendous service and insight on their entire stock.
Great variety and value.
My go to spot in Temescal for sure.
(Thank you Sage for your guidance on my selections - will see you soon)”
“Good selection, and the place has good lighting so you can see labels. More of a small business vibe than a 7/11 or convenience store which is cool. This place also participated in a Alameda Stroll, also cool”
“Neighborhood Corner & Liquor Store is a mainstay on MacArthur and staffed with helpful and friendly folks. Good Sëlection of wares behind the counter and not.”
“I have not enjoyed drinks and food here yet. I look forward to it. I have been purchasing wine and spirits from Bryan for several years. His recommendations are spot on and keep me coming back.
Today I stopped by to pick up an order including the special Buffalo Trace bourbon in honor of “Beef”. I can tell Beef meant a lot to him and his wife. They are fostering dogs because of their love of rescues. We lost our rescues in 2023 and can relate to love they bring to our lives.
We will continue to support Good Times Oakland!”
“Best beer bottle/ can store in the world so far that I have found. Huge selection of premium beer. I drink ipa and they always have something I like. Especially Pliny the elder but I am always trying different ipa’s to see what’s out there. Super chill usually not too many people in there. Customer service is always chill (good thing)”

“We went here for a yelp event and had a GREAT TIME. The owners and staff were super friendly and knowledgeable about the beer offerings, and the beers themselves are so unique (infused with Asian flavor) yet so refined and sophisticated. The space itself is open with plenty of open seating - I can see myself hanging out here for an entire night and just having a great time.”
“Can't get enough of this place! The selections are curated, and the staff is incredibly knowledgeable. While yes, they carry upscale products, they also carry some weekday-type wines and totally affordable and great cheeses. Dave, the owner, and Daniel, the cheese buyer, are both awesome. They recently helped me get a vegan Gruyere for my friend...how cool is that?
Also: this is a PERFECT place to get a nice gift.”
“I had a fabulous experience at Bay Grape. Whoever picked out the 3 wines for the wine tasting had the same taste buds as me. They were all so good! I look forward to going back.”

“Great spot for picking up everything from wine to snacks. The staff is super friendly and always ready to help if you're not sure what to get. It's become my go-to place for last-minute party supplies!”
“Wonderful wine shop with a HUGE selection of reasonably priced wines, as well as a few $$$. The proprietor and staff are knowledgeable and helpful. I ducked in to grab a bottle and asked for a French in the $30-50 range was was pleasantly surprised when they recommended a $32 bottle instead of a $48 bottle. Way to make a sale and get a fan for life! They also do tastings, at least on the Friday I was there. I can't wait to go back and explore their selection more.”
“Incredible staff. To the gentleman with unreal discipline that managed to single-handedly drive off a disgusting, savage mob, you have my eternal admiration. Anything negative happens on the back of this, set up a gofund me page or something like that.”
“Quick, generally kind and consistently helpful and efficient staff. Lines move pretty quickly. Sometimes there’s a security person in the parking lot, always friendly. I remain grateful for Trader Joe’s fair pricing. Their organic milk is 1-3 dollars less than other stores and they also have good egg prices. Thx for being a neighborhood mainstay for so many years. ??”

“Just about the most convenient store I patronize. I go in. Always in stock with my favorite tequila. Never more than one customer ahead of me. If I have any questions. Clerk immediately comes from around the counter to assist . I pay and go. Thank you for being efficient and professional.”

“I love this place because it reminds me of the flagship Cost Plus store my mom used to take me to in Fisherman's Wharf when I was little. The Oakland store near Jack London square has international foods and papasan chairs and soaps that make nice gifts, as well as other eclectica, decor, and holiday items.”
“This shop is the perfect counter to those larger and expansive liquor stores. Here you don't need roller skates to get from one end of the store to the other, and one isn't forced to cruise through a snack-filled labyrinth of salt and oil tidbits. Here I can walk up to the owner and have a pleasant conversation about a wonderful French wine at a great price point, and then roll right into a conversation on Pac-12 football. Brian is a very engaging shopkeeper and he is an outstanding knowledge source on wines and spirits (and the Washington Huskies). I recommend you check out his shop, have a chat with Brian about what it is you're seeking, and he'll steer you in the right direction. You can't go wrong!”
“Fantastic gifting experience!! I just had the opportunity to work with Arielle via phone on a gift order and what a skilled and kind wine expert she is! I gave her a bottle and price target with a few tasting notes and in under an hour, Arielle selected a spot-on assortment that maximized every criteria I provided. I am so appreciative of the care and attention I received and impressed by the wonderful selection of offerings in this shop. The absolute cherry on top was Arielle even texting me a photo of the wine line up so I could preview the bottles for the gift recipients! What a gem this place is!!”
“The kindest and most helpful customer service ever!! Absolutely love it here!! They really go above and beyond to assist their customers!! Much thanks to the staff”
“The staff are super nice! This is a basic liquor store ...They have some of the cheapest liquor and domestic beers, sooo enjoy!The place has a few snacks and household section. No produce or fruit. They definitely have ice cream. Varies tho... If you want something special,..... this probably isn't the place, but if you need something now and want good customer service. ... go here!”
“We were on our way to dessert but saw wine ?
The bright sunny day and the chairs outside, made a friend and I pull over to have a glass of wine here.
It's a well lit, wine store that also has cheese, crackers and other beverages to grab and go.
Towards the back you can order a glass of wine or half glasses. We both tried different wines and enjoyed them. My friend had an organ wine, Esoterico. I had a red from Kid Sister. Our winetender/sommelier was helpful in answering our profile questions. I do wish we could taste a few before choosing a glass, but I do like that they have options for half glass pours.
I would definitely come back here and grab another glass or a bottle to go!”
“Edit: It’s been a few weeks since I wrote this review, but I’ve had to reduce my rating down to 4 starts instead of 5 simply due to the insane markups here. When you compare it to other bottle shops in the area, many items are priced at around a 50% markup. This shop is still great for purchasing spirits from smaller or local distilleries, but I’d recommend only shopping here for the stuff that you can’t find elsewhere.
Original: Wonderful artisan beverage shop with helpful staff and awesome tastings most weekends. Their prices are high, but their selection is unmatched, especially if you’re a mezcal fan.”

“So happy to have this market in the area! This store is well-stocked, really clean, and well-organized. I walk there multiple times a week for small grocery hauls or just to grab a quick snack. I love that there are some Asian/Korean products too! I can stock up on fresh bread, tofu, snacks, some produce, household cleaning items, and grab a frozen treat for the walk home ?”
“My neighborhood store! Best in all of the town, staff is wonderful and they really care bout their customers. Not just alcohol but tons of necessities - comin here you can get the supplies to make yourself breakfast, lunch, and dinner, clean your whole place from top to bottom, and of course get yourself a beverage from a large variety of options.”
“I screwed up and had to get a bottle of champagne to my brother for his 70th birthday on the same day. Bryant at Kermit Lynch could not have been more helpful. He took the time to help me select a bottle, write a card and, most of all, personally guaranteed it would be delivered that day. HIGHLY recommend.”
“I've now been to 2 of Jackson's affiliated liquor stores; each has knowledgeable staff and a good selection of beers and spirits. I go for the bourbons and stouts and am never disappointed in the selection. be prepared to pay a bit of a premium, but know they have some choices not found at competing local stores. I will definitely continue to shop there.”
“This store is a local store i go to ever now and then. It is close to where i live. Lyons store has plenty of issues that i can chose from wich i want to buy. Like loto tickets in general and other items.”
