Monument Wine & Spirits

Buy some beer and get the hell out. This is not some stupid shopping experience. This is a place that sells a amazing variety of beer/​wine.
You need to do your homework before you show up, no hand holding or asking questions. If you dont know what you want, drive to bevmo.
Turn it up and rip the knob off.

Large beer and whiskey selection. They have Pliny too.

So many options, but it’s super disorganized. The people here are very knowledgeable. The beer is great! It’s a nice alternative to BevMo.

Great place for beer in town. Definitely the best selection that I’ve seen since moving up to Concord from LA area. I’m in the industry and am unfortunately, sad to say, picky with what I drink these days. These guys can please most taste buds, and if you have time to look around you’ll spot some big time gems. And they also get Pliny pretty regularly if you know when to look.

love this shop. great inventory.
lonely little shop in an abandoned shopping center. great boozy smell once you go thru the door.

Beers, wines, spirits galore.
Finding a spot with craft brews I mean more than 3 breweries can be challenging. This place has about every local brewery + more. Isles and isles of beers, wines and spirits and fridges packed with cold brews and non alcoholic beverages. They also carry candy and chips, lotto, and tobacco. Definitely a one stop shop for all your recreational needs.
The people who work here are every knowledgeable about their products. You can tell they care. I was even offered a complimentary bag of ice to keep my brews cold on my bike ride home.
Great Prices, Quality liquor.

This is a great place to get good beer. I always find something I want there and I always spend too much money because I want so much beer! I love this place! Such a great selection!

Having difficulty finding the beer you like? Try this place. I’m glad I have a place close by to get my favorite beer fix.
Tons to select from and a lot you can single bottle it. Go with you default, or try something different… this is the local place to go to.
Wine and Spirits too!

The Disneyland of beer stores. Amazing selection, not just craft beers but beers from all over the world. If you like beer, you will have to spend some time going through their selection. Can’t be done in 15 minutes. They have everything.
We were there and were talking to the owner after spending some time looking at the beers and he did an extremely nice thing for us — I won’t say what it was because I don’t want every Joe Blow thinking the same thing will happen to them, but safe to say, we will be back and often.
I’ve heard about this place from many people and everything they said was true.
BTW, if you want to try an amazing beer: Ballast Point Grapefruit Sculpin.
Best. Liquor store. Ever.

This for me is a small slice of heaven. They have an AMAZING beer selection (best in the bay area, that’s just my opinion)…wine, liquor and champagne as well but I’m more into beer. The staff is very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. I could hang out in there all day and soak up all their knowledge.
I’ve been here plenty of times and every time it gets better! Anytime I’m in the area I stop by and grab something.

Wait, wait, wait. I haven’t written a review yet? Must be all that good beer, champagne and prosecco I have been purchasing. The prices are great, the staff is knowledgeable and it’s close to home.
From La Marca to Chandon to Veuve Clicquot, hands down, this is the place to go. You can’t beat the prices or the selections!
Did I mention they have tons of beer and wine.

Best beer selection in East Bay! Come here for hard to find craft beer and Belgians. The liquor selection is also great with better prices on their wine and liquor than their beer.

A great place to find hard to find bottles. Extremely helpful staff, it’s a bit out of the way but worth the effort.

Was pleasantly surprised to find out it was part of the same ownership for Jackson’s liquor in Lafayette — which I also love. bonus.
kid in a candy store situation — except with great wine and spirits!

Since Untappd hit the scene, my beer palette has grown. Finding a place with a variety of beers you can’t find anywhere can be difficult. Thankfully, Monument Wine & Spirits is only a couple miles from my house.
With a large selection, knowledgeable staff and decent prices, Monument puts other liquor stores in Concord to shame. They even have some brews that are no longer in circulation.
You can buy solo bottles, six packs, kegs or any other thing your little alcoholic heart desires at this place. Prices range on the type of beer, size, place it’s from, etc. if you are a beer snob, you’ll probably spend a pretty penny here. But if, like me, you just want to try anything and everything, you can get some great deals here.
I highly suggest hitting this place up before going to your regular liquor store for a Mickeys. Trust me, you’ll thank me.

Should’ve written this review months ago, better late than never, i suppose. Wish they had a store like this closer to home.
Came here in the winter, in search of St George Spirits’ Single Malt Whiskey. We drove ~3 hours to the bay area, armed with a list of possibles; Monument was the second stop, after the first was a strikeout.
Although they’d sold out, they thought their sister store would have some; a call later, and a bottle was on hold for us. As thanks, i stopped back the next day for another 18 year old single malt i’d been eying the night before on our hunt.
definitely need to come back when i’m in the area, as their selection blows away everything in my area with the exception of BevMo, though they’re still head and shoulders above BevMo in that aspect, and they blow everyone away on service. (outpriced Bevmo on a couple things too, such as that 18 year.)

CALLED IT! They up’d their RR IPAs to $ 6.49. Looks like I’m getting mine in SF from now on.
Suggested retail is $ 4.79-$ 4.99.

TL;DR: Excellent selection of all things booze: wine, liquor, and beer.
Now that the Safeway next door is gone, this would be my primary stop for liquor in the area, should that be all I’m shopping for. They have a nice sized refrigerator with a good selection of beer, everything from your basic domestics to more regional and craft type brews. Also contained within are a few bottles of malt liquor/40’s as well as white wines and a few champagnes (good for brunch Mimosa’s!)
The liquor selection is EXPANSIVE. Big. Seriously so. High end or cheap stuff, they have pretty much everything. Only place nearby that would have a selection that eclipses would be BevMo, but this joint is much more convenient for me. They also have a shopping cart near the registers that is filled with «Clearance» items, which, I’m not sure if they are just items that are not selling well or what, but they tend to have some pretty decent booze discounted pretty heavily.
The wine selection isn’t as impressive as their beer or liquor collections, but its respectable, and fairly priced, for the most part.
They also of course have all the other standards, ciggies, lotto tickets, and the like.
If booze is all you are looking for, then this place will fit the need quite nicely.

I think it’s pretty awesome when a place gives you anything for free (well, free with purchase). Spend $ 5 and you can get a free bag of ice! We stopped in here tonight and I was surprised how bright and open it is on the inside. From the outside it looks kind of dark. It was well organized and even though I’m not a big beer drinker, I noticed the huge selection they offer.
Bought a large bottle of Popov Vodka (yeah, very blue collar but I like the stuff). It was a couple dollars more than Cork and Bottle has been selling it for, but they recently stopped carrying this size.
Very friendly employees at the front. And free ice on our way out! Mixed drinks at home tonight! And I won’t have to refill the ice trays before bed.

How have I never written a review about this place!!!
Do you like beer? This is definitely the place to stock up your fridge. Stone, Lagunitas, Drake’s, Russian River, Telegraph and on and on and on. They do a great job of stocking up on craft beers.
