Dimension Liquor

Needed some copies of the OC Register since my son was on the front page graduating from high school. Papers were sold out in many places I visited. They were really nice over the phone and held several copies for me. Great customer service and really appreciate it.

Saw the great reviews so I stopped by to check it out. I love their craft beer selection. Will definitely be back.

This is a pretty standard California liquor store with the usual disorganized mess of booze and pricey grocery items. I give it a better than average rating for 1) an unpredictable but occasionally fantastic craft beer selection; 2) an active Facebook feed that announces the arrival of desirable craft beers; and 3) a very friendly father/​son combo who run the place. I’ve talked mostly to Mike the son who does the buying and knows his beers. I stop by when I am in the area to poke around and generally end up with a bomber or two.

I was recently at American Tire Depot, getting some new tires. Trying to kill time, I saw this liquor store in the same strip mall and decided to check it out. When I walked in, i gasped. I could not believe how much alcohol was in this store. Rows and rows of wine, tequila, whiskey, vodka, mini liquor bottles, specialty liquors, in addition to refrigerated cases encompassing the whole back of the store filled with lots of chilled wines, beer, and soft drinks. WOW!
I decided to do some Christmas shopping as I noticed they had Michelada cups and I have a friend who loves these. I also purchased some mini liquor bottles of favorites of some of my friends to go in small holiday gift baskets. This place was also perfect as I was attending a Christmas party where I was instructed to BYOB. I purchased some BuzzBallz which were mixed drink balls filled with 20% alcohol. These were plastic balls fixed mixes of rum, tequila and vodka plus juices or fruit wines. Fun little party drinks, but man, they are strong. I had a lot of interesting comments from people who sampled them at the party I went to ;)
Joe, the owner, is so fantastic. I felt welcome from the moment I walked in. He gave me a tour of his store and is a walking encyclopedia of alcoholic beverages. I had fun listening to his vast knowledge of his extensive inventory. I learned a lot about the different wines he carries and various vineyards he has visited. He introduced me to a lot of the fun, new liquors he carries, also. It is nice that Joe’s son, Mike, is working alongside his father showing the same passion that his dad does about their store and customers. There are sale prices on items throughout the store. There are chips, snacks, lottery tickets and other standard liquor store items available at the store, also.
At a time when there are big box liquor stores like BevMo and Total Wine and More in every city, it is nice to fine a local hidden gem like this with fantastic inventory, competitive prices and staff that really cares about their customers.

Came here after reading the good reviews in search of a very hard to find bourbon. Even though no other store in the area had a bottle of this bourbon (one got some in but only sold them to top customers) these guys came up with a bottle for me. They charged a reasonable price especially considering this bourbon is known for selling for 5−10x the retail price (even some liquor stores are known for gouging customers on these bottles).
I’m not much of a drinker but I do buy bottles as gifts throughout the year; I’ll be making this my new go-​to instead of my usual mass market stops.

Great prices on cigs and craft beer. One stop shop. The staff is personable and always welcoming. I prefer to go here and support a small business than closer gas stations that only care about profit.

Great selection

Every time I find myself in Lake Forrest, I make it a point to go visit my favorite craft beer store — Dimension! 9 times /​10 you’ll find my friend Mike behind the register smiling back with new beers for you to buy. He does a great job of updating their current selections on facebook so check in regularly to get first dibs on their limited release rares. I’m personally a sour head and always manage to somehow pick up at least 3 bottles I’m there. My last pick up included a Tart of Darkness and Oude Tart from ‘the Brewery’ and a Sour Barley Wine that I’m really looking forward to trying. In addition to those, my haul included another 10 random craft bottles! I don’t remember how much I spent, but I it was definitely well priced. I didn’t pick up any hards, but they also have a great selection of everything you’d need for a party or your personal stash. A couple of months ago, I picked up a nice bottle of Yamazaki 12 year Japanese Whisky. Soooo good! If you’re throwing a nice house party, definitely consider Dimension for kegs. I picked up a full keg of Blue Moon for a great price a year ago. The process was easy and hassle free.
I would recommend this place to anyone who loves hard to find liquors and craft beers!

Dimension Liquor is a fantastic store with very reasonable prices. It is family owned and operated and this family is great! Customer service is top notch, I really enjoy coming here!

Owner is very friendly!!! They go above and beyond when it comes to treating their customers like friends. Prices are good, even if they were high I would pay the extra because of their customer service

I’ve been getting my favorite beer here. Stone Brewery and Russian River are available for good pricing. Close to home and great staff who are personable. Nice guys. A great place in a bedroom community locale.

I haven’t purchased any alcohol here, ever. But the one thing that they do stock is Marley’s Mellow Mood, a drink laced with melatonin that guarantees a good night’s sleep for troubled sleepers such as myself.
Drink responsibly.
Nice owner. Every 3 years, the shop puts out a lottery winner, and they’re due for a new one this year.

Great owners, great prices. What more can you ask for? Love coming here to buy my devil juice.

Surrounded by automotive repair shops, Dimension has a suprisingly good selection and pricing for a store of its size. I have no idea how they stay open selling nice liquor in an industrial area, but it might be because the workers seem very nice. My first time in customers enthusiastically told me that this was ‘their spot’. It made me smile.

We used to live right by it, and still come back to say hello or get lotto tickets when we are in the area! The owner is so nice and remembers us everytime! The prices are reasonable and I miss having it so close for items like milk and eggs when you don’t want to mess with running to a grocery store.
