“Huge amount of choices ... you'll always find something you've been looking for but never could locate before! And you will leave with a deal that puts a smile on your face! Only trouble is ... if you were headed to a beach day, you may well lose a couple of hours here looking around at everything!”
“My go to wine shop. Staff and the owner, Thomas, go above and beyond prominently what I like and send me home with wines I never thought I’d love. Honestly not a better place in town to find great wine from real people dedicated to their land. Plus there is a great little place to sit and enjoy a glass of wine, with a nice wine glass! Huge plus for me”
“Great store. Very cool merchandise, good food and a fantastic craft beer selection. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable, even helping me look up beer on UNTAPPD. Nice vibe to hang out and enjoy food, drink and conversation. We live 30 minutes away but will be back.”
“EDIT 6/7: I am proud to say that I was able to make it down for their massive tasting, courtesy of the amazing Jessica. They were very gracious and kind to me, with a large selection, the best prices, and classy hospitality! Thanks for having me and for being so great!! TEN STARS ? ? ✨️
Original: I drove from Tampa twice, arrived at 530pm on a Saturday and 540pm today (a Friday) only to have the doors locked, despite posted hours saying 6pm, with no warning or update that they'd be closing early either time.”
“I’ve always been a fan of ABC! It’s a fantastic local staple that offers great prices and a solid selection of alcohol gift sets that make shopping so easy.
I especially love all the fun extras they carry; it's a one-stop shop for building charcuterie boards, picking up mixers, or finding unique party favors. The staff is always incredibly kind and helpful, which makes every visit a breeze.”
“Most prices are reasonable, and some are so low it is ridiculous. I went in looking for some peanut butter whiskey and came out with my liqueur cabinet fully restocked for just over 100$. The store is not in the best of locations and not as upscale as ABC, but at these prices, who cares?
They also have an area that has deeply discounted low to no-alcohol drinks at the front and another area for deeply discounted alcohol. They also do tastings on Saturdays but make sure you are not the one driving because there is a bit there to try.”
“Big store with a great selection, including lots of mixers, cheese and meat and cracker snacks. Nice to have all of that under one roof. The only downside was I selected a bottle of liquor because it was on sale but was charged full price. I called the store the next day When I discovered this, but since it was sold out, they had no record of the fact that it was on sale. It was kind of a bummer because it was a $23 savings that I missed out on!”
“This place showcases popular brands and specialty liquor. They even have a bar inside the store I think they use it for training classes or promo events..
It's a cool place...huge variety. They even have custom handcrafted mixed frozen drinks. Straight from like 5 big slushy mixers ...brrrrrr.. on a hot day cap a few of those self serve ,(they have cups and mandatory covers) and bring em back to the pool for your friends , they'll make you famous lol.
Drink responsibly of course.”
“Right next to where I work and I come in often. The owners are friendly and treat you like family. The store is stocked with all kinds of different things. Nice atmosphere.”
“I would like to say how much I appreciate John Jester. I was looking for certain wine and was unable to figure it out. I asked an employee, who was stocking the shelves and he immediately reached out to John. Not only did he take the time to help but he educated me on different types and different regions. I asked if he would be able to create a case of different types, and his response was he would love to. I managed 45 locations throughout the east coast and I’m all about customer service. I felt very appreciated and will be back this week to see what John recommends. Thanks John!”
“I love shopping at publix, a place where you feel comfortable choosing your groceries, without much of people and traffic. The staff are always very friendly, and asks how are you, and if any help needed! I love publix!”
“I’m a bourbon guy and Mrs. Chantal hooked me up on my birthday! They have great barrel picks and fantastic prices. Highly recommended this place for bourbon aficionados.”
“I love PUBLIX!! You guys rock! My son came in a week before his birthday and described what kind of cake he wanted and not only did your amazing bakery staff listen to what he wanted but they built it with his exact wishes (include macaroons, blue drip, leaves and more)! There was no picture, exact premise cake in a photo book. They have an art that can’t be made with big box store cake anywhere else!”
“This store has everything, even the most exclusive high end bottles you can’t get anywhere else! Not to mention but the customer service is out of this world amazing. If I could give 6 stars I would!!”

“Serves it’s purpose. It’s Publix, not a true liquor store. Stocks all the well known brands. Sometimes great deals or BOGO. Clean, staff is fine. Decent hours.”
“Very friendly people work there you can tell that that's a family and not a corporation...The woman that works at night Bella is so friendly and is never rude with some of the BS she deals with when I'm waiting in line.”
“They have amazing prices on beer, wine, and liquor. The selection isn't as large as other places but you can't beat the prices. The store is clean and the service is friendly.”
“Lee's is great! The staff is super helpful and friendly. Tori recently helped me with a large keg order. She was super kind and took extra steps to confirm the items I ordered would be in-stock for pick up. When I called her back she immediately knew who I was and was so on top of things, very grateful for her excellent customer service. Thanks Tori!”
“My husband and I were delighted with the wide array of latin products that we have struggled to find elsewhere!
We have been to numerous markets and by far this market has the biggest variety. My Husband was particularly impressed with the Chorizo/Brazilian sausage selection.
I was impressed with the produce selection!
All of the staff were friendly and helpful!”
“Great local store with friendly staff. Various wines, beers, typical convenience store goods, etc... Tobacco and cigarette tubes, rolling machines, pipes, etc...”
“A shout-out to Kate B., the store clerk who helped me today. She greeted me when I entered the store and asked if I needed help finding anything. She led me right to where it was. What I was further impressed by was how neat the shelves were. All the products were neatly fronted. I complimented her on her work. Obvious pride in her work!”

“Almost everything is under priced. Friendly owner. Owner passes on saving to the costumers & they have Good brand of Wine, campaign Such a really good place to buy your beer & wine in bulk for your Party owner workout with pricing. ?”
“I want to thank the bakery dept at Northridge for my husband's amazing birthday cake. I live in Porr Charlotte and was hit by Hurricane Ian last week. Was unable to order cake due to water outage here. Northridge not only made a amazing tasting beautifully decorated cake but didn't charge me. The cake was a hit and gave our little family birthday party a little piece of normalcy we needed. Thank you again from my family to the Publix family!”
“Had my order personally delivered by the owner because of an issue on the Door Dash drivers part. This is my first experience with this liquor store and I have to say the commitment and understanding from them has me definitely going back and making this my go-to spot!”
“I just ordered two bottles online to have delivered to a friend on Siesta Key in Whispering Sands (as a birthday gift). She just sent me a picture of what was delivered. They substituted another bottle that was $3 cheaper than the chardonnay I had ordered. I tried to send an email back via the order confirmation message. I hope they offer a credit for the difference. The wine they substituted was not one I would have chosen. It's hard to deal with from a distance. I appreciate the fact that they deliver but I wish I had been given a choice about the replacement.
Update: my friend let me know that they made it right by providing another bottle to make up for the substitution. I appreciate their response.”

“This has become my go to spot. Their cannabis beverages section is amazing., Way more diverse options and stronger drinks than I found anywhere else in town. A lot of hidden treasures that she won’t find I didn’t have the corporate stores. I highly recommend checking them out.!”
