Lone Hill Liquor

Solid craft beer selection. Unlike most other small liquor stores, all the beers have price tags. It’s the best place I know in the area to find rare craft beers. I only go for the craft beer, so I can’t speak for other areas of the store.

Lone hill liquor is a great place.

Large craft beer selection, everything is refrigerated pretty much with some hard to find Stone beers that haven’t been for sale for a long time, mostly their 12oz collaboration bottles. They also had some older Unibroue anniversary beers going back to 15, 16, and 17. Other than that, it was a typical good local selection of the usual suspects. Ambiance is heavily lacking though. No real «staff» since it’s just a gas station-​like convenience store.

You might see some craft beers you won’t see any where else.
5 stars for the craft beer selection. The customer service is not so good here based on my experience. I would knock a star off for that employee that wasn’t too helpful, but the selection is worthy of 5 stars.
It’s worth the drive or stop by if you find yourself in this area.
I spotted some Stone collab bottles I have not seen before and rare Belgians such as Fantome and Boon Kriek. Many rarities and Dogfish Head bottles I have never seen in a bottle before, such as Black & Blue.
The gentleman at the register seems as if he wasn’t knowledgable of all kinds of craft beer compared to other craft beer stores. Usually people ask me if I need any help or have any questions. He did not. And when I did ask him a question, I didn’t feel he liked answering them.
From reviews I have read, it seems like some people who work here are helpful while other are not. I read that this place, like many other craft beer stores, hides rarities in the back. I think they feel you out and judge you to see if you’re worthy of them grabbing something in the back.
Craft beer selection is one of the best in Los Angeles. Service is among the worst ever.

Don’t judge the store by its small size. The workers seem to have built a good rapport with their regulars, which is always a good sign for stores. Nice selection of craft beer. Easily can drop a pretty penny without realizing.

I finally went to this liquor store last week and was amazed at the selection of craft brews. Also amazed by the fact that they refrigerate every bottle of beer pretty much :) My new fav liquor store more than Bevmo or Total Wine.

Great selection of drinks. I mean, lots and lots of choices, and so many imported drinks, too. They even have a nice selection of hookah at this store.
The store is fairly big size that you don’t feel all crammed up in there like other liquor stores.
Last time, (and my only issue) one of the employees (the only one there) was on the phone, and the whole time i was there, he was on the phone. I don’t care who you talk to, what you talk about, but, i was never asked if I need help finding something, or… whatever. Customer service from him was not top notch. I’ve been here so many other times, I don’t get the same vibe.

Great selection, especially some things that are almost impossible to find here in So Cal (some Russian River, Founders, Southern Tier, and DFH brews to name a few). Also, many Belgians and Trappist beers. A great selection of Lost Abbey and other California brewers. The prices are not too bad, considering some of the beers available. Stan is a very friendly guy, good to talk to and quite helpful.

Great selection but terrible prices. Way to marked up compared to many other good craft beer spots. Try Hacienda Beverage in brea. Way better prices.

Great selection horrible customer service guy wouldnt even check if he had a beer for me

I came into town from Northern California and wanted to locate unique Craft beer. I found this store on Unilocal and the reviews were all spot on. Great selection! Great customer service and very helpful! I will visit here again and would recommend it to anyone who has an affinity for great beer or wine!

Great selection with it’s own stockpile of vintage beers here. I got some Stone Highway 78 Scotch Ale here recently… 2 years after it was initially released! Pre-​aged beers! woot! es, it was delicious too!
Stan is awesome, and he knows his stuff. He’s been running his store this way for a long time now, and you can tell he definitely a «beer guy». You can come here with confidence and not have to «hope» that the proprietor gets it.

This place has an amazing selection of brews. the owner really knows how to pick em!

Ah Lone Hill, where I got my first victory at Sea in 2009, two bottles of 2008 Bourbon county stout in 2010.
While not in my backyard by any stretch, it is about a 45 minute drive, and worth a stop on treks to and from Northridge, to the Bruery in Placentia for me.
The look, feel, and overall function is that of a liquor/​convience store in a strip mall. But the 8 or so coolers filled with craft beer make it stand out. While they do carry many brands (that sell well) that other chain warehouse stores sell, they also get great seasonal, once a year, limited, rare beers as well. Good stuff from San Diego lands here, Alpine, Ballast Point, Green Flash, etc. They also seem to get some bi-​annual shipments of Uptopias as well.
Have not yet had them bring up beer ‘from the back’, though I’ve heard this to be ture at Lone Hill, so I do know they do have some reserve stuff. Since I’m not local, not sure if I’ll ever know what is truly back there, but from what I’ve seen on the shelf, I’m still a happy camper regardless.
Certainly worth a visit if your in the area, and should be a must repeat stop for any craft beer enthiusiast.

Wow, this place has a really large selection if imports! If I’m in search for a good quality import and can’t find it anywhere, this place is likely to carry it for sure. I would rather come here instead of BevMo if they were located closer to me.
Although, bottles and 4 packs of these kinds can be quite pricey.
Good job Lone Hill Liquor with the quality selection of imports!

Lone Hill Liquor has to be one of the best beer stores for anyone who knows anything about beer or for those who are looking for older bottles. Cause this has been one spot that I have easily found 08, 09 bottles of Stone beers in the fridge just chilling there.
Hell, the other week I found a 2007 double bastard sitting next to a 2008 IRS just in the fridge. So you know that even older beers get the proper cellar temperature. Wait, you must be confused. Why would anyone want old beer?
Bud and Coor”s has ingrained it into your head that you need to be looking for fresh beer on the market. That’s not always the case. Many times a good year or two of letting a high alcohol content beer sit will balance it out and create a completely different beast.
A lot of the stuff is tucked away in the back. The best time to come here is to call ahead and make sure Stan is there. The guy knows a thing or two about beer and has a lot of the good stuff hidden in the back. The way to get to it is by asking him if he has it.
So yeah, he’s hooking you up. Speaking of Hooking. They have a wide selection of Hookah’s in this liquor market. It’s actually pretty interesting to see this sub section of hookahs.
They also carry a wide selection of wines and other spirits. But for my money the beer selection beats the hell out of anything that the Bevmo a mile or so down could ever attempt to provide.

Do you fancy yourself a beer connoisseur? This would be a perfect place to test your knowledge. Besides just having extensive selections, they also carry quite a number of beers that you won’t see in most liquor shops.
Do you fancy yourself a beer lover? Browse, buy, and try some from the extensive selections available or ask Stan to help you decide what would fit to your taste preference. It’s a beer adventure and if you know nothing about these beers, do it roulette style — buy and taste it (when you get home or somewhere like home, lol).
Do you fancy yourself… ehem, I mean ARE you in AA? If you are, you better STAY the FUDGE away from this place. It will be a guaranteed relapse.

This place has a really good selection for being in a pretty small space. Unlike the many other reviewers here, I came in looking for a specialty item instead of beer (although now that I know it’s great, I’ll check out those cases too!) I was looking for this weird anise liqueur for a homemade sorbet recipe and this place had it. I’ve had a really hard time finding it at most liquor stores, so finding it here was a big surprise, I thought I’d have to go to BevMo. The bottle was on the bottom shelf in the back of the store and all dusty with no price tag, but I brought it up to the register and when I asked how much, the cashier kind of pondered it and came up with $ 13, which was about half what I was expecting to pay.
There’s a kind of surreal quality to the clientele here late night — I came in at around 9pm and there was a guy who wanted to buy one cigarette because he only had 47 cents and asked what he could get for that. The cheapest individual cigarettes they had were like 81 cents, but the cashier cut the guy a break. Then there were a couple of late-​40ish women dressed in sorta clubbing clothes who were milling around and loudly telling some story about how it was one of their son’s 21^st birthdays so they wanted to get him some liquor. When I left, they were sitting on the curb outside the store drinking the liquor they «bought for the son.» The cashier, the guy in back of me and I had a discussion about the uses of my weird anise liqueur when it was my turn to pay. This place is pretty fun, it made me smile.

One of the finest beer stores in the greater LA area.
Visited four or five times since 2008. Spent over $ 150.00 once and $ 200.00 the second time on rarities (hard to find and vintage brews). The other two times, I spent virtually nothing. Why not? Read on…
I drove 35 miles one way to get there, so I guess that’s a good indication of how highly I hold this place in regard. Makes BevMo and the like look very sad in comparison.
Minimart ambiance complete with lotto players and macro drinkers. Service really depends on who’s there. If you don’t get «the beer guy», you won’t get to access any of the special brews lurking out of sight in «the back». And for me, that’s why I come. I guess you need to check ahead and see if (name withheld) is working.
Selection is outstanding. No food to speak of, unless you want a candy bar. Overall, there isn’t much better to be found in southern California.

I was visiting my brother-​in-​law in Glendora, and was delighted to find a place with a good selection and variety. The place is smaller and more personal than some of the larger liquor stores I’ve been in. (I bought an AleSmith Anvil ESB pounder, and it was nice — not too hoppy).
They also have a pretty nice selection of tequilas as well.
