Tony’s Liquors

I have been a customer at this liquor store for years, even as a kid before I knew what alcohol was. Like two other reviews have mentioned, they will hawk you and keep their eyes on the camera at all times the moment you walk in. It almost seems like it’s their store policy, which is one of the reasons why I decided to stay away from this place as much as possible, give up convenience and take my a** to 7 Eleven for cheap beer or BevMo for craft beers — and for that, they deserve two stars (for convenience)
However, they recently renovated their alcohol section and added a decent selection of craft brews and for that, they deserve three stars. I am not a loyal customer to this place, but sometimes convenience is a deal breaker. Their prices are fair, slightly higher than BevMo, but definitely not highway robbery. If you want to keep cost at a minimum, remember to pay with cash, otherwise there’s a transaction fee.

Man

This place is hit or miss. Mostly it’s a miss.
The main reason being, no price is set in stone. They change their prices as they feel like it. Example, last night I went to buy a 12pk or Heineken, on the door it’s advertised as $ 13.99 but when I went to pay, it ended up being $ 17.50 + a .50 debit fee. What the hell?! When asked I get a reply «it’s always been that much».
Plus with the way the watch you like a hawk on their giant flat screen from the moment you walk in doesn’t help. I don’t like being treated like a criminal before I even have a chance t do anything. Totally screams «stereotype».
Avoid this place if at all possible,

they have errthing!

one saturday night, in the midst of our champagne jam… we ran out of champagne.
main entry: champagne jam
pronunciation: sham-‘pAn ‘jam
function: noun
1: a white sparkling wine made in the old province of champagne, france that you drink whilst you play loud music and jam, or dance to.
tony’s was within walking distance. so the 7 of us (some on piggy back) made it on down to tony’s to refill on champagne and other munchies to enhance our «jam».
upon our arrival, we quickly made our selections from the wide variety of alcoholic, and non-​alcoholic (for me) beverages. we also loaded up with plenty of snacks to tie us over till our midnight run to the local, late night thai place later.
soon as we’re checking out, a fight breaks out in the area between the cashier and the entrance. leaving us practically cornered from leaving.
*pow!*
*bam!*
*thump*
meanwhile, my friend + me = curled up in a ball behind one of the aisles.
korean lady behind the counter: hey! you get out! you get out! no here!
but too late…
«t.k.o.»
apparently one of them had their car parked out in the front and the window got bashed. someone tipped him and his friend off that one of the guys in the store did it, and that’s when a mini hell broke loose. luckily none of my friends got hurt, even though one of them decided to referee for some reason??? well, not referee, but i think he was trying to break it up. he MAY have been wasted…
soon as it was over, we made off with our champagne, flamin’ hot fritos, and a story to add to our misadventures.
