Michael's Liquor

Been coming here for a decade. One of the better craft beer liquor stores around. But unfortunately Andy the owner sold it to his brother recently. So now they have poor customer service and people that don't know anything about the craft beer they're selling. It's a shame. With so few great craft beer liquor stores around, the last thing anywhere needs is just another standard liquor store. Even tho they're uneducated on their products, I hope their vendors keep the quality up. Miss you Andy

I'm sorry, as of August 2023 Michael's is under "NEW" management and totally sucks! We've been coming here for years and ANDY would always accommodate us we would call ask if a particular beer was in stock. He would put it aside for us if it was low stock or last one. If he didn't have the 12 pk he'd say get two 6pk and I'll charge you same price as the 12. When he'd have new beer products, if they didnt have tall cans he'd say take one from the 6pk so you can try and if you like it then you can come back and get the 6pk or 12pk if you like it. Selection has always been pretty good and prices WERE decent for the convenience. Mostly the service, always friendly,, personal and polite. We have a liquor store right across the street, we don't have to come here, but service matters. And we'd rather support small businesses.NOT liking the new ownership they're, not very forthcoming, they follow you around the store as if your going to steal or something. If that doesn't have you walking out yet... the price mark up is wild. They really want to take advantage, you can get cheaper at Ralphs or Vons OR the craft beer liquor store at the next light. Not a good first impression of new ownership (supposively family). I thought it may have only been our family but all of our surrounding neighbors & community say the same. When we ask about Andy, they say NO MORE ANDY EVER!! Quite rude might I add. We definitely won't be returning sad to say. The place used to always have heavy traffic on a daily. Now that Andy is no longer there, Michael's is a ghost town!**Suggestion: Keep your local neighborhood clientele happy as Andy did. In return you will have longevity and a prosperous business...

I've been coming here for years and Andy always gets the good stuff. If you're into craft beer or just looking for good drinks this is the spot. Everyone that works is always nice and helpful as to even checking the back as new releases drop. I will keep coming here for years to come! Appreciate you Andy!

This is Michael's Liquor in Canyon Country CA. This place is like Cheers, everyone knows your name! You totally feel like Family here! Prices are Excellent and The Owners ROCK!! My Number 1 recommendation for Liquor Stores!!

I saw 5 star reviews online and I now know why. He's got everything! And new stuff in each week. One thing I really like about this place is you can mix and match any pint and create a custom 4-pack, which I WILL be doing next time! Keep it up!

Michael's doesn't look like much from the outside but it is a diamond in the rough for sure. I came in here looking for a particular craft beer that I picked up at a place in Northridge (around 20 miles away), I wasn't sure if Michael's had it even though the reviews talked about a large selection of craft beers.When I came in I was surprised at the number of different items they carried, but the entire back wall was beers. I strolled along looking and was helped out by a guy named Andy who was super helpful and very knowledgeable about the different types of beers. Andy and I both agreed that stouts were the best and that is what I came in here for anyway.They did sell the one I was interested in getting, Belching Beaver Peanut Butter Milk Stout....yeah you heard me right, don't laugh because if you like stouts and especially milk stouts then this would likely end up being a favorite of yours. Andy let me know they also sold a Mexican Chocolate Peanut Butter Milk Stout by the same brewer and we talked about other stouts.There were tons of items that were really good priced, but I found what I was looking for taking both and looking forward to them when I got home.Now I no longer have to drive the 20 miles to that location to get the Belching Beaver and also start trying some of the others Andy suggested.A good find...don't let the exterior fool you, come in and take advantage of the great selection.

This place use to be a nice clean, classy place to go to for craft beer, last couple of years it has been run down by the owner, serving homeless people with no mask!, they stopped carrying Stone brewing, Fremont, and more, they only carry commercial craft beer and it is very expensive, I go to Costco now for beer and liquor, save my money and time!!Please sanitize your store, it smells like homeless people inside! The only good thing I can say which is not really good because it puts everyone going inside at risk, is that he doesn't abide by the mask rule! He doesn't wear one and he doesn't care if you don't as well!!!

As far as craft beer selection Michaels has to be top 3 in all of SCV, this is absolutely a hidden gem for beer, liquor, and pretty much all things alcohol. The owner Andy, (I know it's not Michael) is the man. Always good to see a friendly face and he knows basically everything about beer and will always help you out. Do yourself a favor and check them out.

I have been going here for about 2 years and every time the experience is great. Michael's gets multiple shipments of new things weekly. Every time I go in there is something new to try. Everything is organized and easily located. Andy, the owner, is always helpful and will make recommendations based on what you like. The prices are very fair. Andy and his family, who run the place, are all great people. Ever since my first time in there I was welcomed as a regular with top notch customer service. If you need craft beer, go to Michael's.

Craft Beer Heaven!! New spot opened up & it's a craft beer Mecca!Pretty stoked to have a specialty craft beer spot open up on this side of town. Its where the old MIchaels Liquor used to be, next door to Funzone. Ya we have BevMo which, dont get me wrong is pretty awesome & definitely a go to for craft brew but this is right off soledad & on my way home, so makes it very easy to pull up, pop in & brew out! All the guys that work there are all super cool & every time I come in they always have something new to tell me about or offer me. They also take suggestions on what you want to see them carry or what to stock for you (especially if you come in often) Their selection is pretty decent & prices are reasonable. They have their coolers FULLL of delicious bombers (22oz) of all your favorites. Stone. Lagunitas. Golden Road. Karl Strauss. Elysian. Green Flash just to name a few they carry. Their stock seems to rotate often & they also sell sixers & twelvers. A nice little local spot to stop in for a cold IPA.
