Martell's Liquor

This place has a fair selection of whiskeys but the place that is advertised on the display is way lower that the price that they say is "real".

This is the latest liquor store in the hood. It's a bit dusty, but the clerks are usually nice. I like their wall of shame of shoplifters too. Prices are pretty reasonable for a late night liquor store. The wine selection is a bit weird, but okay in a pinch.

BE CAREFUL IF THEY SAY YOUR CARD DIDNT WORK AFTER FIRST SWIPE! Came here for a routine snack purchase. First credit card swipe, she gave back to me and then I'm not sure what she saw on her little machine but she asked to try again (no biggie maybe bad swipe, happens). Swiped again, she complains it didn't work still. I take out my debit card thinking maybe they're having issues with credit card. Enter my pin and she says it's still having problems... Since there's a Chase just down the block I offer to just get cash. Come back, pay then a few days later I check my credit / debit statements and see that all attempts she tried before I paid cash POSTED. To make matters worst I don't think she even gave me a receipt after all that. Ended up paying $56 for what was supposed to be $14. Don't trust this place with cards, pay cash.

Hadn't walked in here for nearly two years after living only a block away. That came to an end when it was the closest place to get in on lotto tickets for the $650 million jackpot for mega millions. Started off with that and I found myself buying hot pockets to stock up for dinner. It is now my go to place for lotto tickets.They have a lot of liquor and beer in here. And funny photos and captions if you are caught stealing there. Give this locally owned store some business!

I've been going here for years - they are always friendly, run late, and best of all, they stock micro-brews! Also, gotta love all the pictures on the "wall of shame" of the shoplifters - cracks me up!

While the store is not the cleanest, they do manage to get it done. This is my convenience store in the morning. I give them special props for having stuff an ordinary convenience store doesn't have - packaging tape, eggs & bacon, huge selection of vitamin water, big freezer of Hagen Daaz, etc. The prices are always more than reasonable. I especially like to grab one of the $1.25 muffins when I have a few minutes to spare at the bus stop. As others have mentioned, this is a also a good liquor / beer hookup.

ive been going there for about 6 months but lived in the neighborhood for 20 years and I've been impressed with the service and food & daily lifestyle of geary and 20th. either a cold beer or some takka to easy your mind.whatever is best feel me? Love the 2am night shift lol

Zero stars. This place should be out of business for the way they treat customers (women in particular). Not to mention the stench!I have regrettably gone in here multiple times and received the same treatment each time. The person behind the counter doesn't seem to know what products are carried in the store and doesn't know what bourbon is.I walked around the store looking for bitters before going up to the counter to ask if he had any. He grunted back "huh? bitters?" as though he had never heard the word and proceeded to point to a direction i just came from. I walked back and when i knew i wasn't going to find them there, i googled them so i could show him a photo. Once i showed the photo, he zoomed in and said "oh, yeah" and found them behind the counter, directly behind where he has been standing presumably all day.I then said, "which bourbon's do you have?" because they were hidden behind the counter in an area that couldn't be seen from the counter, to which he grunted again "huh?" so i continued to repeat "bourbon? you know, bourbon whisky?" and he said with a scowl "what kind is it though, vodka, rum?" and i said again "BOURBON!! WHISKEY!!!" finally he understood. I'm fairly certain he also overcharged me, but in my hurried rage to get out of there, i mistakenly didn't ask for a receipt. i will not return and i will do my best to save anyone else from going there.

CON ARTISTS!!! $3+ for a SINGLE backwood. $12+ for a pack or "Loose Leafs." Told me my drink total was $2.xx I somehow or another paid $3.06Don't even waste your time. Go to anywhere else nearby.

This rating is not based on the business itself, but of the character and quality of the owner/employees. This will sound like a made up story, but I can assure you that - unfortunately - it is real. Today, my father was standing outside of this business with my dog. A male employee walked outside with a metal water bowl to give to my dog (which is a nice gesture). However, when this person reached down to touch the top of my dog's head, my dog put his tail between his legs and leaned back away from the man's hands. Any true dog lover and owner knows that dogs hate when anyone - especially a stranger- reaches over their head to touch them. In response to my dog's reaction, this person said to my dad "Obviously this dog is abused" in an accusatory tone. When my dad said "I assure you this dog is not abused," the man yelled at him and said "Shut up and listen to me!" He proceeded to throw the water from the bowl on the ground next to my dog and stomped back inside, leaving my father astonished and shocked on the sidewalk. I think it is disgusting and shameful that a business would conduct themselves this way. My dog is an anxious rescue, and quite frankly people shouldn't just assume they can pet any dog they want. Just because a dog doesn't want to be pet by an individual, does not mean that they are abused by their owners. I am shocked that an employee, or owner, of a business would be so callous and cruel to make unfounded comments toward a complete stranger. Obviously this person was pretending to be a "dog lover" without really knowing how dogs behave at all. I honestly cannot believe that any representative of a business would behave in this way.
