Wess and Mike have quite possibly the best selection of liquor in all of San Diego! It’s incredible. They are both super friendly, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic about finding you exactly what you’re looking for. Also there’s a tasting stand set up inside every Thursdays with some amazing rolling deals.
