“Fred’s Liquor has been around since the 50s and for good reason. Scott is awesome and always friendly, which makes this account stand out. The store is clean, welcoming, and full of options. They carry every local craft you could think of along with local seltzers like Happy Dad Hard Seltzer. On top of that, they also stock all the popular brands. Great selection, great service, and great history. Come check it out.”
“This is a hidden gem. This place has an exceptional selection of American craft beer. “Sure, I could go for a 3 mile run but have you tasted craft beer lately.””
“The local shop that truly has everything you need, including the best beer selection in town. They are very receptive to taking beer requests, which I appreciate.”

“Unexpected stop in San Clemente and I'm in walking distance of two bars with great food that are...CLOSED!! 😡 Thank God for Dad's! An old alky like me can still grab Jack in the Box and Jack Daniel's. Not the original plan but hey...compromise! Friendly staff too!”
“Thank you so much for being the best store in the nation. Seriously. What a great family of people. The meat market, vegetables and choices are excellent!. The merchandising, facing and stocking gives me joy rather than fear after a pandemic of empty grocery store shelves.Try their pre cooked lobster and a ribeye daily.”
“They Carry CIGARS. COUNTER TOP HUMIDOR from Cigarlift. Great prices, in perfect condition cigars!
If you want a spirit and a cigar visit them!
Great customer service!”
“Catalina Market is one of the best liquor stores in the area. The store stays organized, well stocked, and easy to shop. You feel the local vibe as soon as you walk in.
The owner runs the place with pride. Friendly, helpful, and always bringing in new products. The service stands out and you get treated with respect every time.
The selection is solid. Top shelf spirits, cold beer, wine, and all the popular seltzers. They also carry new innovations like the latest Happy Dad items and continue to bring in more.
Great local spot with good people, fair pricing, and a strong lineup of products. Worth the stop if you are in the area.”
“We stopped by Pier Market in San Clemente for some snacks and ended up finding my daughter's new favorite place. She is obsessed with all things Squishmallows and dumplings, and this store felt like the mother lode of dumplings for her!
They had an impressive selection, including mini, regular, and jumbo-sized dumplings. The staff was incredibly patient and kind while she spent what felt like forever trying to decide which ones to get. They never rushed her and were great throughout the entire process.
The experience made her day, and now all she talks about is going back for more dumplings. If you have kids who love collectibles, squishies, or dumplings, this is definitely a fun stop when you're in San Clemente.
I highly recommend this store!”

Don't want dyes, sulphates, headaches for wine? Want someone who will work happily with ANY budget? You found it.
If you like high time in newport beach / costa mesa, well, you found our version of High time for south orange county, more specifically san clemente.
As a former food and beer critique, this local haunt has been my go to for 20+ years.
Bob’s Fine Wines in San Clemente is the kind of place that makes you feel like you just stumbled into a secret wine clubhouse—but without any of the snobbery. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with smiles, great conversation, and the comforting realization that these people actually *want* to help you find something you’ll love.
hand selected and hand curated wines, vodkas, beers, tequila, and more.
The selection is incredible. Whether you’re looking for a special bottle to impress dinner guests or just something tasty for a Tuesday night on the couch, they’ve got you covered. And somehow, every recommendation feels spot-on—like they’ve secretly been tracking your taste buds.
The staff is knowledgeable, funny, and refreshingly down-to-earth. No lectures, no pressure—just good vibes and great wine. I walked in planning to grab one bottle and somehow left with three… which I’m choosing to call “excellent decision-making.”
If you’re in San Clemente and like wine even a little bit, do yourself a favor and stop by Bob’s. Your future self (and your wine rack) will thank you. ?”
