“I can always count on a good deal and plenty of variety whenever I come to Luekens. They have some of the best prices in town. You could really get lost in this place by going up and down every aisle. On some weekends they have taste testing which is nice just in case you want to try something new.”
“Ok, full disclosure: I know wine about as much as I know about string theory physics (which is nothing!)
I went into this store because it was enroute to home after work, wanting to get a pint of whatever to start celebrating the weekend.
They did not have what I was looking for.
...and rightfully so... here's what WAS obvious to a wine ignorant such as myself:
This place was entirely dedicated to the wine aficionado! Wine is all they do...and know everything there is to know about it! Pairing, price range, personal preference...EVERYTHING!!!
If you already know what your looking for, it's here (if not, they can get it!).
If you're looking for some direction or education, it's here.
I'm not a wine guy. But if I was, I'd go here!”
“We came to look for a specific bottle, and Paul approached us making sure we where taken care of, he helped looked for the bottle and even called another store to see if they had it and got us on our way... thanks Paul!”
“Great place to pick up fair to good deals on liquor. Really hard to find stuff like Standard Vodka and Beluga. Stocks local stuff. Owners are very nice and happy to make recommendations. I recommend walking around the options first and seeing what’s on sale if you’re open to trying new things. Lots of good rum options and close to a Publix if you need snacks.”
“Their hours are great. Normally priced. I stopped here for ice everyday on my trip. They are very nice and the place is clean. Offer a variety of everything. There’s a second one of these near Gulfview before the bridge that takes you to Sand Key.”

“Everything.. love the Cubans, they have cut back on the meat and cheese a lot, but still delish, Love their breads! Clean store always .. very friendly bunch of people !!”
“Great people! Good prices! And every morning when I come in for my energy drinks the lovely woman behind the counter is always so kind and helpful (no matter how hung over I am)”
“I don't go there often, because it's very dangerous for me to go in there I would buy the whole store if I could. I am from Germany and you can find lots of traditional things from my childhood especially around Christmas. So I usually go there once a year before Christmas to buy all kinds of gifts for all my friends and myself”
“I come here to shop for bourbon. My everyday sipper is here, Wild Turkey 101, for the best price. Their bourbon store picks have always been amazing!! Also check out behind the counter. They may have something rare or unique”

“Great locally owned wine shop with a huge selection and all the employees are helpful with picking out what is best for your pallet. As someone who knows little about wine, this is my go to spot to be helped and educated. And I see the seasoned wine veterans in here shopping too so I know I'm in the right place! They have fair prices, often discounted bottles, and cool events and promotions. Come check it out!”
“Employee was extremely nice. Saw me looking at drinks, and came over to ask if I needed help finding anything. Even recommended a drink that turned out to be great! Then helped me pick out a good vape back at the counter. Way above and beyond customer service. Very friendly guy.”
“Truly Family ? owned, "best pricing" good service. Unlike lukinens dysfunctional Family booze stores they seem hate each other and always first to raise pricing.Bayside Spirits ?you came to the right store. ✅”

“Although the location, hidden away in the back of the shopping complex, rather than closer to the main store was perplexing and mildly inconvenient and substantially smaller than others I have shopped, the gentleman who was running it was friendly, personable and helpful. I had no difficulty finding what I wanted and getting back on my way.”
“Went to Tonic liquors and bought a bottle of Winemakers Pinot Grigio. Mr. Thief charged me over 20$
S&R charged me 13.90 $for the same bottle. Thank God for KEVIN who was courteous and fair to me. I would recommend this store for all your beverage purchases.”
“This is a small neighbor liquor store. It has a limited supply, reasonable prices, and really friendly staff. They make a point to get to know you too. The only serve spirits and wine - beer is for sale next door at the convenience store.”
“Lots of stocked shelves at decent prices. Fantastic manager was very helpful. Super clean store. Wide variety of different types of food. Great experience I suggest visit Sav-alot on Cleveland at Missouri.”
“Great dive bar in Clearwater. Great staff. Close knit group of people, neighborhood bar feel. Strong drinks. Smoking allowed with good ventilation. Not too smoky at all. Liquor store on site, good prices.”
“They have an amazing selection from wines and spirits. Different selections for everybody wild range of drinks we stuck for the weekend here, and it was the best choice.”
“Good selection, reasonable prices, open late, fast and friendly service. The only suggestion for improvement is to provide a bike rack for those with bikes and e-bikes.”
“10/10 Best staff. Best service. Best everything. Fr really the best store I been going to yall since 2020 when I moved to Clearwater now I’m almost a 60+ minute round trip from my work to yall to home and still coming. No other place tops this one.”
“Closed Permanently?
Lady at the Dollar tree said the whole store was loaded in the middle of the night in a truck then they cleared out. I really liked this place a lot, old school with a lot of character.”
“Luckily, I had a good experience with them. We ordered a box of red wines on a mail-out promotion we received two months ago. All the wine we tried so far taste good. We had to cancel the subscription for personal reasons, but upon doing personal budgeting, I haven't found them charging us anything extra (on the contrary to other people's comments).
Wishing the company all the best.”
“Very welcoming , dedicated and professional people. The lounge is open and comfortable, free WiFi. I liked that I could watch tv or people watch with all the windows. Easy location, lots of parking. I’ve found it’s never a bad time for a cigar. Very good prices and deals even more so for veterans with a great selection. I bought a few locals and a tasty My Fathers. Pics are of the lounge, the humidor is large!. This will be my go to spot for bulk buys, or a daily stick. Highly recommended and endorsed with enthusiasm. SF Steve”
