Black & White Liquors

Mike owner, Curtis, a bunch of kind gentlemen who help run the storeThey have modelo, Pacifico, and corona for days!I really like the ambience and selections. Pop by if you don't want to wait in long lines and get something to drink!

Good service friendly people the guy redwine is a sweetheart I wanted to get some thing I was already upset and he made me laugh. He has jokes.

B & W's micro brew 5 pak pricing on par with whole foods. selection average. big bottles pricey and very little selection. store space is efficient, tightly configured.pour: boone anderson hopottin" ipa(22oz, 7%, 3.99+)-some bite, semismooth, easy buzzon draught:-rumored black & white is the liquor store open after 10 p.m. thus 3 stars.-during daytime hours, B &W kind of pricey.

So what is the deal with this store? Only a quarter of the building is the actual store space. What is going on in the rest of the building?

Going out on a date? Going to a local show or major concert event? Or just throwing a personal party in front of the TV? Never fear! Black & White Liquors is here. Your one-stop-shop for all your smoking papers, hard liquor, mixers, beer, cider, wine, canned food, lighters, etc. Breath in the fresh, progressive air of Emeryville and enjoy the rice bowls from the Panda Express across the street. Or get yourself a lovely bag of spicy cheetos with a 24oz can of Lime-A-Rita to create the ultimate party experience.Pros: EverythingCons: Nothing

My friend stopped here to get smokes and water. It was clean, the cashier was nice. There's the usual bunch of presumably diabetic one legged guys in wheelchairs buying smokes and a 40. It's a bit of gritty life across the street from a shiny shopping complex and right by the expensive stores on Bay and Shellmound. Way to go, B&W for keeping it real in the 'hood.

This is another Oakland corner market but it is at a busy location and its a fairly large place located at the corner of 40th St. & San Pablo at the Oakland/Emeryville border. If you have read some of my other reviews about cona licka stos then you will know it like the other ones.One thing about Black & White is that it is pretty eye catching from the out side and they alway have some really cool mini building posters plastered on one of the sides of the building. Yesterday I noticed that the current posters are of Adam Lamberts new CD & several other very nice posters of Ms. call her "Janet" Jackson and of course a poster advertising some type of liquor.Now all you wanna be hood rats if you looking for yo "G" wear and you can't find it in Mt. View, you fo sho can find it in this sto:tshirts/hats/fake ass jewry, cd's by local smoklin rappers. Oh yeah, of course they have all the usual high priced groceries, an abundance of beer, liquor, cigarettes, swisher, and cRAzEee ass customers. And yep, someone is always askin fo a dollah.

I really dont see why anyone would go here when pak and save is across the street and sells all the same alchohol for a significantly cheaper price, don't pay too much for mediocre beer....

this place is great.a 40 i bought fell out of the plastic bag it was in and exploded all over the street and the guy just let me get a new one! lovely. subtract one star from that thing for being covered in flies that are "very into landing"

As far as I know, Black & White Liquor is the only late-night alcoholic's option in Emeryville, as the rest of the town is usually asleep by 10PM. While I'd prefer to buy the same booze for 10-30% less across the street at Pak 'n Save, I don't always plan ahead and end up coming to the area too late. If I'm not mistaken, Black & White is open at least until 1AM while Pak 'n Save closes at midnight. Newbies shouldn't be deterred by the clerks' menacing expressions; in this neighbourhood, you've gotta have your "battle face" on all of the time. Also, don't be afraid of the spangers outside; though they would appreciate a contribution, they won't take it personally if you can't afford it now. Black & White offers a surprisingly vast selection of wine, though I am wary of certain inexpensive varieties collecting dust on the shelves. Many of these cheap wines aren't supposed to sit on the shelf for more than 3-5 years so always check the year and never get anything too old. Otherwise, this is your typical Oakland/Berkeley/Emeryville liquor store, stocking Frito-Lay snacks, Coca-Cola beverages, white tees, and other odd attire.
