Sunset Strip Liquor Store

Our own local store that tends to be a quick stop for us when we’re working from home or the like. Super convenient and I’m always able to grab a bottle of wine or a light snack from here. They also carry some basic grocery items which has been great on those days that I’m sick and I really need a simple can of soup.

A typical liquor store, prices a little high for the beer but they make amazing burgers. Super convenient and easy to get to, right off the n

Sunset strip liquor is the usual neighborhood convenience store. just looking at the wine selection made me realize prices are higher here than at regular groceries, .
–2ish stars.
leaving it at 3 stars for the neighborhood sake of convenence.
just grabbed some lotto tickets and a tsingtao paper. (.60)
–prices same everywhere…

The fact that I get off the N-​Judah here everyday and live a block away means I have dropped by a few times for beer and condiments. The beer is overpriced, $ 11.50 for a six pack of microbrews I would expect to pay about $ 10, and not a great selection. But I will say, I still buy beer here for the convenience factor.
They also carry Cock Sauce (Sriracha) which made my rainy night a few nights ago. None of the natural food stores carry it, its frustrating.
The place is a tight squeeze, and don’t expect too warm of a reception. They have the essentials though, so grab some beer and everything will be alright.
They do take credit cards too.

Right after Christmas,
we drove on 31^st street and saw a rainbow on the sky, Lucky day:).
We were going to have a long drive to another city,
so I got a cup of Mocha (double latte with chocolate) in the store.
It’s a coffee place attached to the convenient store.
The coffee is good. It was made by a little and friendly lady.
You don’t need to add any sugar or milk into it.
Personally, I like it a lot. It’s good to start a day with this.
Also, the store provides free Wi-​fi for me to check the map.
People there are very nice and we also enjoyed the full rainbow together.
positive experience!

after a while the workers will stop charging you tax if you go there alot. i go there for the 99 cents arizona drinks. i also like to grab some sweets and chips once in a while but since it is junk food … you have to exercise to burn those calories. been going to this place since as a kid til now because the workers are like my friends. i used to go to lawton and would sneak out during after school program to go there.
don’t buy the thai tea, it’s not that good. but try the tapioca because it is cheap and tasty… the tapioca is just a little chewy sometimes.
Edit: realized the café had a different Unilocal page. sorry part of my review goes to the café but i will give 5 stars to the liquor store part:)

The neighborhood is slowly changing, but this shop has remained. It’s an anchor to when I first moved to the neighborhood, many moons ago. It’s like a time warp — sort of dim, old-​ish signage, but stocked with the necessities.
After my jog the other day, I had a sudden craving for ice cream. I tried to go to the new place across the street, but after waiting a while and then having a person cut in front of me, I resorted to the tried and true — Sunset Strip Liquor.
They served me right away — zipped in and out, my kinda place.
PS: They have a café attached to it where they have boba tea, hamburgers, sandwiches, amongst other items.

This was the liquor store I use to run to as a kid (way back before they had the café), that’s right, not walk but RUN. I also biked here as a kid and left my bike outside without a lock.
They use to (maybe they still do) sell stink bombs, those guns that make noise with the red circle cartridge… I use to also get 99cent bags of hot Cheetos and whatever candy was cheap. I also use to walk down the candy aisle, buying 15cent airheads, lollipops, popsicles… after that I discovered that Safeway wasn’t that much further & SO much more cheaper.

Dinky liquor store that looks like every other liquor store in San Francisco.
I make the 10 yard trek from my apartment to here whenever I’m in need of the Sunday newspaper (I cut coupons just like your grandma) or I need to shamble down the street for caffeine in a way very similar to one of the first scenes in Shaun of the Dead.
The various people they have at the cash register are always nice. The biggest problem would be the fact that if there is more than one person «shopping» it’s hard to get around in the place.
I just realized that I have, for some reason, not tried anything from the café attached to this place. I think I’ll do that right now.

Great for your basic needs.
Also I can get a bagel with cream cheese at any time of the day.
And tapioca!
I’ll stick with the bagels though. Also, fresh fruit! Maybe I’m too lazy to Safeway it, but I don’t mind paying 50 cents for a banana every now and then.

It’s basically labeled, the «cornerstore’. Typical conventient store, tons of junk food. Come here for your urgent junk food cravings.

This place was my favorite store when I was a kid (Less than a half a block away). I’d get a dollar and run to buy something. As I’ve grown up and decided to go check it out again, I noticed the bubble tea shop connected to it. Their thai tea is terrible and their tapioca is very chewy. 4 stars for childhood memories and that’s about it

This place is conveniently located and sells all the necessary snack foods. Its candy, chips, instant noodles, and drinks have kept me happy for years. It also recently branched out and is now connected to a little coffee/​bubble tea place. I bought a cheeseburger from here before for about $ 2 (cheap prices, as you can see) and it was average. Sunset Strip basically proves useful in your times of intense food cravings, and that’s about it. Not much more to say about it other than that.

The funny thing about the Sunset is that it looks so complacently prim, with its low density and rampant stucco, but there’s little things that belie the truly seedy underbelly that it tends to breed. Like how a lot of the windows are cheap aluminum, and totally wrong for the fenestration pattern on the houses. It’s symptomatic of a decay process that you notice most in places like Sunset Strip liquors, or when there’s a big news story about pitbulls mauling little kids and it turns out to be in a basement of a postwar duplex on some anonymous block in the Avenues.
