Liquor Barn

We bought a $ 10 bottle of wine that is normally quite good. This bottle, however, was clearly bad. We each took a sip and had to spit it out. When we brought the bottle back (with our receipt), the owner took a sniff, said it didn’t smell like vinegar, and wouldn’t refund our money. We spent over $ 100 on that trip, but he treated us like we were pond scum. Sad. We learned our lesson, though, and neither us nor our friends will go there again.

WAREHOUSE PRICING

It’s literally a barn filled with liquor… what isn’t to love.

Liquor Barn isn’t the ONLY place to buy hard liquor in Yreka, but it’s by far the best. Prices are competitive with any other place, and the staff are just plain nice people. But for all you travelers stocking up while heading north (especially you younger folk)… Oregon CAN and WILL stop you and check to see how much liquor you have. And they WILL seize it (I don’t know if Washington does as well). This is usually aimed at 21 year old’s on break or hitting the snow or the lakes. And with the vast majority of fatal accidents on I-​5 being alcohol/​speed related, not many people complain too much. PLEASE don’t drink and drive, your bloody corpses leave an awful mess.

great place to buy, awesome customer service. the hours kinda suck but it is in a small town so it makes sense.

We hit Yreka as a stayover point in our long trip to the Bay Area. The first things we saw when we got off exit 776 were 1) The Liquor Barn and 2) a nice looking Mexican restaurant. Correctly prioritizing, we hit the Liquor Barn first. About 30 minutes later, we were still wandering around in happy shock and amazement at the prices — half the cost of liquor in these communist Washington State run stores! I got the huge jug of Wild Turkey as I could finally afford to spring for it, and a bottle of Woodford Reserve which we couldn’t even afford to look at much less buy up here.
The man (owner?) was very nice and helpful, and didn’t seem surprised at how happy we were in his store (being from Washington). He even explained the latest liquor initiative that passed up here and how it will really work once implemented.
I wish we had an excuse to go back through Yreka again soon! Whenever we do go back the Liquor Barn will be an obligatory stop, every time.
Thank You Mr. Liquor Barn :-)

Several months ago I was on a little road trip and one of our goals was to stock up on some cheaper-than-we’re-used-to booze for a friend’s upcoming wedding.
The driver didn’t really want to linger in California for long, so we stopped at a couple of spots just over the border, and decided that the Liquor Barn was the cheaper of the two.
The employee or owner was very friendly and helpful, and made some great recommendations about which liquor to buy for the wedding, and made sure we grabbed boxes instead of individual bottles.
It takes time and money (gas — ouch!) to drive down to California and it’s easy to find people willing to take it off our hands later, so why NOT buy in bulk?
Thank you for the help and lower-than-we’re-used-to prices, Liquor Barn (man)!

We found the barn by accident on our way home from the Bay Area last year and we were stoked! We stocked up on a wide variety of alcohol for about half the price of what we pay here in WA. Well worth the trip!

I like coffee. I like coffee lots.
Unfortunately, a side effect of liking coffee lots means lots of peeing.
And liking coffee lots while driving long distances means lots of pulling over to pee. Well, at least that way I don’t have to worry about running out of gas right?
And while I’m at it? Might as well pick up some liquor while it’s still easy to purchase in CA, vs the puritanical methodology one must go through in WA to buy spirits. I mean, seriously, why are we only allowed to buy liquor in government run stores with weird hours? Last call ain’t until 2am. I like the freedom CA gives me of being able to head into a liquor store and pick something up to continue the party after the bars close.
So with that in mind, I figured I should stop to relieve myself, get some gas, walk the dog, and pick up enough alcohol that I won’t need to go shopping for it again until the next time I decide to drive a long distance to visit family with my doggy.
Liquor Barn has a huge selection and some great prices – Johnny Walker Green was $ 45. It was $ 90 down in L.A. And the fellows working there were super helpful; they grabbed a couple empty cartons and even helped me carry my boxes of liquor out to the car.
You read that right. Boxes of liquor. I bought a case of vodka, as that always seems to be the most popular liquor to mix with. Restocked on tequila, including some Hasong’s that a friend recommended. And got a bottle of Jack for when a couple of musician friends are over, as that’s their preference.
Hmm… If I’m not careful, City of Seattle is going to require me to get a liquor license…
