I gave them 1 star because you can't give 0. I live in the neighborhood and have to say the new owners have ruined this establishment. Next to no wine and you can't even go in to see what they have. The beer selection is poor and no one can see the liquor. I love all of the staff who are great people. Sadly, I will take my business elsewhere. What a shame.

Love this place. My roommate Charlie and I drink heavily all day and night. Hamn's and Crown. It's convenient and 200ft from my house. Great people and they even run a tab. What a godsend when you are 3 sheets to the wind and can re-up at our friendly neighborhood liquor store. Across the street from English Ivy another great place to drink the day away. Stay thirty my friends!

Looking for free fun on a Friday night in the Chatham Arch/St.Joseph neighborhood? Turns out, Alabama Liquor has you covered. I've been meaning to check out their free Friday night wine tastings for years and received a monthly nudge from their Urban Times ad. The quick and casual tasting features three wine tastings and 10% discounts on those bottles for the evening. The store offers liquor, cheap beer, craft beer, and a decent sized room filled with wines starting as low as $8 (sweet, dry, you name it). The location is hard to be on Alabama Street within walking distance of Mass Ave and the Old Northside neighborhood. The exterior of the building and front entry room don't look like much but the back room where the Friday night wine tastings takes place is cozy and filled with good vibes.

This is literally your neighborhood L store when you're wanting a glass of wine to jump start your weekend! Lol. They have wine tasting every Friday that starts at 5:30... It's usually your neighborhood neighbors who come in and out of the L store and the employees are always friendly and helpful when selecting The store is extremely small but it's super cute. I love small stores where I can literally get what I need and get out. lol. The prices are reasonable and if you want to stay within a certain budget you can always ask for help. I wanted a semi dry wine.. and the employees there are very knowledgeable and you can tell they really do care about finding you the perfect wine to go with your dinner and what not. Positives:LocationFriendlySmallHelpful staffWine tasting on Fridays. Cons: Wine tasting time frame should be longer :)

Not real pleased about the guy working the counter wearing a Trump hat under the sign with a rainbow stating that everyone is welcome. I'll find another place to shop

There's a free wine tasting every Friday?! How'd I never know?! What a fun way to start the weekend. I've only been once, but our wine connoisseur was friendly and talkative. The wines he had us try were very good - especially the Argentinian Malbec. The best part was that all the wines he showed us were only $9 - wow. So nice to be introduced to a new wine that I actually like and then find out it's that cheap. After a certain point of the night, you have to wait in a waiting room and order what you'd like through the glass.

I recently moved to the neighbor and was happy to see a local liquor store in the area. My roommate and I popped in to check it out quickly one Friday evening. The owner was there, Terry, and was one of the happiest and most welcoming people I've met in recent memory. He greeted us with a warm welcome and then extended an invite to their weekly Friday wine tastings, along with some hilarious puns. It's great to support local, and I can't wait to keep supporting this business. Great service, local brews and distillery options, moderate prices, and convenient location = happy me!

Alabama Liquors is a great neighborhood liquor bar! They have a decent selection for a small location and are always willing to order something for you if they don't carry it. They have a great wine selection and often have wine tastings on Friday afternoons. The staff is friendly and helpful. They have great hours so you can drop in when needed. They also carry cigarettes and some mixers, including the occasional lemon or lime. Overall, for a small neighborhood liquor store they're excellent. You can definitely get better deals at other larger locations, but they're small, local and personal so I prefer to give my business to them.
