“I'm in there nearly every night they have just about everything they're very friendly.
They have a great section of liquor and they have great section of beer in addition to having an enormous selections of fine wines. They've got a Bitcoin ATM and a regular ATM.”
“Great little corner store. The reason this place is 5/5 is because the owner is always such a nice person. I’d rather support small business owners like this a million times over any corporate place”
“This is my main liquor store period!!! The staff is amazing, always in good spirits. Prices are fare and I won’t go to another liquor store PERIOD!!!! Shame on you if you do!!!”
“Ed's is really the best place to go! Friendly customer service, professional, quick and convenient! Same staff, same place, everyday! And by the way, you can still get a 12 oz drink for a buck. I went in a couple of weeks ago and bought a 12 oz can of mountain dew for a dollar! I've always enjoyed going into Ed's Liquor Store. Check it out for yourself!”
“I loooove this little shop, conveniently located on Main Street in Santa Monica. They have four or five freezers of ice cream novelties. The prices are normal or close to it, not tourist-trap expensive. There's also an extensive liquor, non-alcoholic beverage, and snack selection. The people at the counter are always lovely. Stroll Main Street with an ice cream or cold drink in hand, stop there on the way to the beach, sit on a bench in front of the library (almost directly across the street), and enjoy an afforable outing without forking over lots of cash. Perfect for a cheap date or a visit with the kids. It's close to a couple of the municipal lots and bus accessible.”
“Best place to look for Italian ingredients! I love this place. Its small but has everything you need that you cannot find in regular grocery markets. I cant list everything so drop by! Its legit.”
“They worked with me on delivering four tanks of propane and did exactly what they promised to do. They kept communicating with me to make sure that the propane was delivered. It was fast and reasonable.”
“We love this grocery store so much!!! The staff is just unbelievably kind and so helpful!! We had a great experience with Will in the produce department, he’s the best!”
“Wonderful owner and staff. Always gracious and attentive to their customers. Selection is focused and prices are very reasonable. After 35 years shopping here, it is still my favorite for local quick stop.”

“One of the best wine shop in los Angeles with an amazing curated selection from California and every major wine producing country such as France, Italy, Spain, Australia, Argentina and Chile and very competitive prices sometimes even less than the big stores and supermarkets! An inexpensive $15 bottle to $50, $100 and beyond. The staffs are very knowledgeable and on top of their work to help you find a perfect bottle or 2 or 6 with discounts for yourself or for gifting. I am impressed!! Go and find out for yourself why they are called the King of Wines/Champagne in Santa Monica. I didn’t know that it is also one of the oldest shop in town over 90 years old.”
“I miss the quality of this store, the owner and the staff give to everyone such welcome feeling always and they're super friendly they deserve so much more business. I moved to New York and feel so sad to not find that kind of customer service here.. I hope you guys sell a lot of alcohol this new 2024 year!!”
“The people who complain about this store do not live in the neighborhood and understand Sammy's generosity. After reading many of the negative reviews, they come from people that require Amazon Level response for everything in their life. When it's time to get drunk or buy a gift, they turn into complainants.
Wine Expo is the best neighborhood liquor and fine store in the college streets of Santa Monica!”
“Amazing customer service. Everybody is always so friendly here I work at the hospital down the street and come here almost every day. Everybody is always helpful and knowledgeable . It’s nice to see Kind people with great service definitely not used to that around here lol!!! Love this selection and happy to support our local neighborhood Liquor Store! You guys are fantastic. Keep doing what you’re doing.”
“Great service and such a friendly, positive team. The pricing is very competitive for Santa Monica, and their beer and spirits selection is unique and impressive. The shop is well organized and easy to browse, with plenty of interesting options to choose from. I’ll definitely stop by again next time I’m in the area.”
“Interesting location with plenty of free (underground) parking. Found exactly what I needed (Kylie Minogue 0% Sparkling Rosé) and then some (Galicia Especial 0%). Both were very refreshing! Taking a break from the sauce! ?”
“Update: June 2026
Noticed several recent posts on security guard. I frequent the store a couple times a week & have yet to see one but would welcome the addition. Have seen too many incidents of poor managerial oversight, from young staff kids hanging in the dining area as childcare to freeloaders filling up at the hot/salad bars without paying to intrusive outside individuals asking for donations.
It’s a great store, great neighborhood location & nice staff. Security may just need some training on surveilling. I use self checkout as a rule & there’s always a staffer watching for potential theft. I get it & am not offended.
Original review:
In general there’s everything to love about this store, it is immaculate, more than enough selection & great neighborhood store & I’ll do anything to avoid Whole Foods (Amazon owned) these days. Self checkout is awesome, the lines for cashiers are too long (they’re usually chatting with other staff anyway) so thanks for the quick checkout option.”
“Very cute neighborhood store! They have decent wine selection in the back, kegs and anything you really need! Friendly clerk Fred will help you find anything you need, quickly check you out and wish you a good day!”
“Great beer selection and very reasonable prices. The guy at the counter (Bill?) was extremely friendly and very helpful. Although only in town for a week, he made me feel like it was my local liquor store and we had been been going there for years.”
“Winc is a top notch company and my #1 when I want to order wine. They recognize and provide a platform for up and coming Wine Masters to showcase their unique flavors and brands. They have a wide variety of wine that will please your pallet. Reasonably priced and fast free delivery. I couldn't be happier!”
“Bottled Poetry is the best grab and go spot for beverages on Montana Ave. Gus and team are always so kind and helpful, and they have everything that you would need from a neighborhood bottle shop!”
“I had a great experience here. Honest vendors should receive praise and good business. Everyone else is charging egregiously prices $11.99, $10.99 for a pint of Ben & Jerry’s - Star Liquor selling them at $6.99.”
“In this ever changing world, it's amazing this small business is still thriving in the same building at this location. I worked here in the early 70's, 6 until closing. Met several "movie types". Good memories.”
“went here only because it was my last resort. i had robbed a man of $16 in order to purchase food for myself. i bought 4 lottery tickets and a mountain dew. i also “bought” some chips. Please help me. good employees tho”

“I had a morning where I hadn't eaten anything, and I was super starving. This place turned out to be my savior . This unassuming place had everything I could want, and it came at just the right time. So grateful I found it just driving down the street.”
