My girlfriend was verbally harassed at this store by one of the older clerks. The 50+ year old dude behind the counter insisted on hitting on my girlfriend after his comments about her beauty had already made her visibly uncomfortable. 1 out of 10 would not visit again

Pricing gouging criminal! For a bottle of whiskey that is normally $27 he will charge you $75 for. Honestly it’s unbelievable and I would not recommend spending your money with a place that believes in price gouging. ABC, total wine, literally anywhere else would be cheaper. I will be reporting to BBB & Florida DBPR for their shady business.

Overpriced bottles. I saw wines on the shelf from 2015 and 2009!! Y’all know that’s turned to salad dressing by now!!

The selection here is outstanding: the beer, the wine, especially the scotches; the owner sure knows how to pick em. The employees here are always friendly, particularly the Asian woman who keeps me coming back every weekend with her fresh conversation and scintillating outfits. Convenient location and there are snacks too! Go here, you wont regret it...

3 stars for location/convenience, friendliness, and decent selection of spirits. I can live with them being a few bucks more than other places on average, but on more than one occasion Ive had to question the clerk because the price he/she rang up was higher than advertised. This last time, it was a popular item thats been on sale throughout this whole pandemic, and plainly advertised on the cooler window. I also question their wine source. Some are very very old, and the taste reflects that; the price doesnt.Im putting them on hold for a bit. Cant go wrong with Crafty Bottle Shoppe for beer, and Dorns for liquor and wine.

Ive never had a problem here. The staff is always nice and very friendly. Some products yes are higher than other places, however its never been significant enough for me to drive to a chain liquor store. And if you cant afford a few extra dollars you probably should reevaluate your life decisions.

I stopped here to get my favorite spiced rum, One Barrel rum. This is the only place Ive found it available. They no longer carry it. They also dont carry limes. Otherwise, its comparable to other smaller liquor stores in price and selection.

This package store is located conveniently close to Sbux and Lovely Nails. Start at the package store. My preference is a pint of Tanguerey gin. From there, its an easy stroll to Sbux. Order something cold, like a lemonade. Mix your drink at a table on the patio. Then walk over to Lovely Nails. Pick out your nail color b4 u start seeing double. Climb up in one of those big massage chairs. Set it at a slow-knead. Soak your feet in the hot water. Sip your drink. Heavenly!

Pretty cool shop that generally has everything I need. Prices are a little higher than Publix or ABC but not by much, usually a dollar or two difference. The staff is awesome, super friendly and welcoming. Best of all, its convenient! I live at Magnolia Place, most of the time Im riding my bike to save on gas and with them being at the corner Its a quick 5 min ride! Overall, I would definitely recommend Spirit Shoppe!

I bought a bottle of wine here it tastes like vinegar and the color is off - Chardonnay looks like a dark apple juice. Yuck. The liquor selection is better and the place is convenient for its location. The liquors/wines seem to be $5-$10 overpriced from Publix, ABC, etc.

This is the same owner as Millhopper liquors and he is a THIEF! The prices for bourbon and other rare spirits is absolutely unbelievable! Do not go here looking for anything rare or allocated, youre wasting your time.

Convenient and welcoming. Good beer selection. Not the cheapest, but thats the price of convenience I guess.

I cant give this store more than 1 star when they are charging 3-10x retail price for their liquors. While out of town visiting family, I stumbled upon a store with a decent collection, but the prices were absolutely insane. Elmer T Lee ($40 retail) for $300? Michters 10 ($90) for the same? Van Winkle Lot b ($150 tops) for $800? Blantons ($60) for $80 and ER10 ($30) for $55, etc.? They had EHT Small batch for $100 (retail is under $40 most places) which was more than the barrel proof. Obviously the owner knows there is a secondary market for certain alcohol, but is an absolute moron with regard to how he/she should structure their pricing. They have a 4 star selection, but 1 star pricing. The guy behind the counter said most of those bottles I mentioned had been there even before he started, so at least people arent dumb enough to waste their money on this stuff when its readily available for half the price or better almost anywhere else. I found an EHTBP and a RHFSB for about $10-15 over retail each, but I dont see a ton of them around, so I justified it, but people need to be aware that there are plenty of retail shops charging an arm and a leg over their actual cost for bourbon. You could be getting most at a fraction of the cost elsewhere. Granted, their bottom shelf stuff and a few others were well priced (Four Roses SB for $40 for example), but anything with a hint of scarcity had a mark up that would make even the most greedy J.A. get a little heated. 1 Star. Unless you have more money than brains, stay away from this store for anything other than beer and $30 or less liquor.

Good selection of spirits, but the mark up was insane! Example: Pyrat Rum was $60 vs. $24 elsewhere! Keep driving past this store.

Charges over secondary prices for bourbons. 2x retail for Blantons and many more over priced. Avoid at all costs if youre on the hunt.
