Balboa Liquor Store

Great little liquor store has everything. My car was hit here and the manager was very helpful in reviewing the video for me.

One of my favorite liquor stores. Its close to home. The workers are friendly and personable. They have a new icebox with many different kinds of beers and wines. Even some liquors that cost up to 3000 dollars. A lil bit of errrythang there. I look forward to trying the different ales they sale.

They have since rectified the situation from my last review. Good selection on many premium beers and spirits.

My favorite liquor store. We come here almost every night. I know right alcoholics haha. Everyone that works here are nice and friendly. Also has a great selection of alcohol.
As far as the alcohol goes it is a little pricey compared to like Walmart or wall greens but the people who work there make up for the price difference. If you would like for them to get a certain alcohol they will put in a order.
They just remodeled the store which is nice and have a flat screen TV so if you need to get caught up real fast you can always just look up the only problem is they always have the charges game on and not the colts. Other then that I can only give four stars because of the prices but other then that please support my local liquor store with all of your alcohol problems.

I’m not too sure if it’s a good thing to say this store’s employee’s «know» me… but they always have a smile and a wave for me when I walk in and head straight to the back for my usual:)
I love that they stock a handful of great micro-​brews and all the hard liquor you need. they have everything from Lotto-​tix to jewelry and you can even pick up a porno mag or two! Prices are w/​in range of the usual asking price elsewhere… plus! If you ask nicely, the men at the counter can look into ordering a special item beer/​brew…

Cathedral ceilings and floor to ceiling windows adorn this post-​modern construction…
I kid…
Mission reminds me of some infamous IE towns like Perris and Banning. If it wasn’t for the beach and the Marines, I wouldn’t be able to differentiate between the two.
Take for example Balboa Liquor store. If it were located much further inland, it would be beacon of hope to those who are not accustomed to seeing firewood and fruit sold outside of a Stater Bros. But for O-​side, this is just your average liquor store.
The selection is big but not in a cool way. My idea of a cool liquor store is La Bodega in Riverside; now that place rocks. But Balboa Liquor will get the job done. Plus it’s next to an Alberto’s so that means burrito and a 40!
Taco, taco, burrito, burrito…

You know, for a liquor store, this is «As good as it gets!». Need firewood? A pepsi? I dont know why, but when I’m on the Peninsula, I’m usually a beach bum (use your imagination as far as dress) and I certainly dont look like your typical Newport Beach ethnically speaking, but despite that combination, these guys are almost always very friendly.
That, to me, is weird. Friendly liquor store? Whatever… I’ll give these guys their props for not Nahasapeemapetilon-​ing me.

Shaaaaaaaaaady, but what liquor corner store isn’t, right? Yeah, they’ve got a decent selection. Prices are okay (nothing special). I can’t say much here. They’re a basic liquor store. I buy lotto tickets here sometimes and an occasional lime if I’m in a pinch (I live nearby), but some of their shelf products are expired (was the case last time when I wanted to buy some ketchup).
Guys are friendly enough, but not so friendly I’d leave my GF there if you get my drift. Call it 2.5 stars, but I’ll settle on 3.
