J's Liquor is considered the best liquor store in the area, particularly on W. Fillmore in the Old North End. Customers report always having a great experience with a friendly, helpful, and attentive staff that works quickly. The store carries good varieties of popular alcohols, including specialty beers, wines, champagnes, and refrigerated items like cases of beer and quick-grab drinks. It also has good prices on cigarettes and smoking accessories, including unique items like one-of-a-kind bongs, pipes, and cool torch lighters. The inventory is always changing. They are noted for unique alcohol gifts at reasonable prices, like decanters shaped like celebrities, life-sized swords, and faux firearms, available year-round. Management is great, with the owner actively asking for customer preferences. The store is open from 10am until midnight every night, including holidays. While most experiences are positive, one minor issue with incorrect change was noted. Customers appreciate the seasonal selection, though some wish for better phone availability to check stock. Many drive from other towns to visit, especially for their favorite vapes.

The store is clean and well-stocked. I usually buy wine and there are many economical choices. They have a large selection of chilled minis, as well as cold soda by the can. They even have Feel Free (kava product) and incense for sale! Store associate Ruben is incredibly nice and friendly. 100% recommend.
