Little Five Points Package Store

under five bucks for a six pack of tall boys with tax. doesn’t get better than than. very friendly staff and good hours as well. also, cash gets you a better price.

It isn’t fancy, but it certainly gets the job done. And when you’re in need of a quick jug of something strong, sometimes you don’t need fancy. Sure, if I’m stocking up for a big party or in need of something exotic I’ll happily trek to Tower, but if it’s an urgent matter (as these things so often are) this spot’s got my business.
Like many liquor stores, the prices listed are for cash only: it’s higher with a card, but not by any offending amount. Plus, I’ve always found the service to be super friendly: i think they can pick out the locals over the obnoxious tourists who come in while waiting in line at The Vortex.
Don’t come here for beer, though. It’s slim pickins.

Little Five Package isn’t the biggest liquor store in town, but it’s certainly the most entertaining.
The family that owns and operates the place knows their regulars, and they have our collective back (hey, I’m not driving to Green’s unless I *feel* like it). If a né’er-do-well starts pulling some nonsense, La Familia is *on* them.
Most of the merchandise is arranged fairly logically, but be prepared to hunt a little if you’re looking for something less than wildly popular (apparently, I am one of three people in Georgia who drinks brandy with any regularity). If you’re stumped, the friendly floor-​stocking guy can find your desired item PDQ.
Also, Rose Man is usually working the door with his characteristic tenacity. If you’re picking me up for a date, it would be pretty swell if you stopped by here to pick me up a bottle of fancy beer and a rose.

This place is good for stopping at the end of an early night and grabbing a six pack, or for stopping on the way to parties in the neighborhood if you forgot your favors.
The liquor is a little more pricey than your larger stores like Tower or Greens, but beer prices are comparable.
The clerks are cool, they know their regulars.
It’s totally functional, but not awesome. Amazing for people watching though.

The store lacks variety in beer selections and if you think you’re going to pay with an AMEX??? Think again. There is an added charge for using it. I also think that may be illegal!!!

I wanted a can of Whipahol, and I asked you if you carried it. You sold me a can and I went on my way. Got home shook the can for some awesome coffee action and you had sold me a «sand can display» for $ 8.63. I know this because I called the distributor and got the scooby that your store refused to sell it AFTER he left you some samples.
I will now and forever shake a can of whipped cream before I buy it. Thanks.
Green’s on Ponce does sell it, and I’ll never come back to your little store again. As a matter of fact, I noticed that Green’s carries more than you and at better prices (25+% less than you). You’ll never stock one of my events again.
I suggest that you use the blurry night pic as your main pic because this is about as drunk as one will need to be to walk in here and drop their cash. It will help them recognize you better.

I love it when the owners ask you if it’s OK to swap the six pack holder. It took me awhile to figure out why they did this but either way, I like their furgal style! Sure you’ll pay tad bit more but so what, I rather support a family business any o’ day.

Can I just tell you how much I love this liquor store? It’s worth going into just to see what sort of weirdo kids and crack heads are in there at any given minute… God, I love my neighborhood!
But besides that, I love the staff– they are always nice to you, but if you are in there to cause trouble or try to shove a beer bottle down your shorts they will show you no mercy.
The (presumably) manager of the store loves me and always orders in things that I want that they may not stock. I think that is very cool.
The prices are average, but not as good as Green’s (which is up Ponce) and it can be a pain on the weekends to park– if the parking attendant stops you, just say you are going to the liquor store and you won’t be charged for parking. Well, that is, as long as you go in and out of the liquor store and don’t lallygag around this unique strip of shops.
