Mission Liquors

OH THANK YOU!!! The old owner is finaly gone. :) The store has been completely redone, and it looks great. The shelfs are full and the new owner is super nice. This is one of the cleanest liquor stores in Fremont. Great prices also «Jack 750ml $ 19.99.

Ok is really it. Most of us go digging through independent liquor stores t find those rare beers and spirits. Mission not so much but they carry the regular good brands like Fat Tire, Newcastle and Red Hook.

Dismal service, was treated so badly from the moment my husband got to the counter, we opted to take our business elsewhere. Simply rude.

Worst liquor store in Fremont. When I was trying to pay at the counter, the guy is on the phone chatting with someone not paying attention. I handed him my debit card and he said it was declined. I gave him another form of payment and went to my car. As I check my mobile banking I see a charge on my account. I went back inside and told him that he charged my account. We went back and forth insisting that he did not charge my account while I’m showing him my phone that he did. For a six pack of beer and a bag of chips I paid a total of $ 28 since he charged both my cards. The issue is still pending as I will have to file a fraud charge against this store. This guy claims he will call his merchant bank but I highly doubt he will do that as he acted like he didn’t do anything wrong.

I have gone to this place for many years and ever since the new owners took over, it is a horrible place. They fired the old friendly staff and are trying to run it without experience of owning a store. The owner purposely puts items in a place where the price is lower. Then buy something and go to the cashier, the price is ALWAYS higher than what is posted. I have confronted the owner many times and ask why he does this and he always has the same answer «your item is in the wrong place». He is definitely hoping customers don’t notice at the point of paying… This place will STEAL your money and you probably won’t even catch it.
BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE CROOK CROOK CROOK
Stay away from this crooked place. I am currently notifying the Better Business Bureau!

My brother went in to buy lotto tickets. They were 3 $ horse shoe scratchers, winners one was a 10 $ and the other 5 $ tried cashing them in no one will take them saying the roll wasn’t registered had to return them to the store of purchase. We have been there multiple times this week, they keep saying lotto machine doesn’t work. Sounds like a croc! BEWARE sketchy owners

I’ve been a frequent customer at Mission Liquors for quite some time. Due to the recent ownership change, the quality of the brew and knowledgeable staffs are gone. The selection is not as good as in the past and the price is about the same. I hope the new management will take notice because Mission Liquors is slowly going down hill, however, I may come back again to see my experience improves.

It’s so sad to write this review. The old owners were fantastic and had a genuine appreciation for the craft beers that were on the shelf. The new owners know nothing about craft beer, and really don’t care to educate themselves.
I used to love coming here. Not only was the staff really knowledgeable, but even the clientele knew a lot about different craft brews. My wife and I have gotten many a good recommendation from other enthusiasts who just knew a lot about beer.
I’ve given the new owners a couple of chances. It pains me to say it, but I hope they tank and they just sell the place. They have no idea how great this place was.

Mission Liquors might not look like much from the outside. Heck, it doesn’t look like much in the inside either.
Navigate through the strip mall, and you’re treated to a liquor store façade. However, there is a little rinky-​dink bar in the back that has some amazing brews on tap. The tasting room offers little goblets of brew, but they have some stuff you don’t see everyday — I especially like their Suede Porter!
But c’mon now. $ 6 for a goblet half the size of a pint? That’s just greedy.

We went there yesterday. This new owner is goooooood. He was helping us while on the phone with PG&E and was complaining about his bill. After the call he starts complaining about our government and how India has a better system goes on and on. All while we are tiring to enjoy our «over price small cup of beer.» When we finally leave he tries to add 2 extra beers each on our tab. We went off and almost walked out. I heard this place was great and that is why it has 4 stars but then I find out there is a new owner, this explains everything…
Customer Beware and make sure to count your small cups of over priced beers.
You dont believe Me? Go there for yourself.

Still has a good selection of beer, prices are ok.
I was charged 50 cents to use my credit card! There’s no sign, I noticed because I checked my receipt.
It’s not the 50 cents, it’s the principal.
I’ll go elsewhere.

⁴⁄₁₄ Update – The brew people seem to have sold the place. Now it’s back to the same old liquor store.

UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT, don’t come here.
Guess I caught the tail end of the old owners… new management are penny pinchers, quite literally.
It’s always empty now, and I’m not surprised after the changes. There’s now a $ 3 fee to drink your beer… that your purchased there… if it wasn’t on tap. There’s paper signs everywhere with hiked up prices for the same products, and honestly I don’t even think the new owners know/​have tried the beers they have on tap. Never once have they walked over to the tap area with you – they just kinda let you stand there… looking at their inflated prices. They’ve also moved the porn stash up to the tap area for easy viewing (used to be next to the loo hahah).
I went back this week to pick up something to go and the owner said my total was «$ 2.48», then as I was reaching for my wallet whispered «$ 2.50».so he didn’t have to give me $ 0.02. C’mon now, I’m not gonna argue over $ 0.02 but that’s just weird and unprofessional. Not even night market vendors in Asia are that cheap…
They’ve also closed down the restroom for customers. Classy lol.

I get it, new owners. I used to be a regular here. No greeting, extra 50 cent charge for using debit, and expired drinks are NO excuse. Chunks came out of my monster drink. Let’s hope these chunks don’t come out of me later.

Where are these recent 5-​star ratings coming from? The previous owner, Rail, deserved them. The new owners? A far cry from the old establishment.
First off, the tap board is not even updated. I asked for a stout and out came golden liquid. That is definitely not Ten Fidy, my friend. Then, after a good amount of convincing that it is indeed not Ten Fidy, the owner grabs a new glass and tests a few other taps. That’s nice, he’s trying to figure out if his lines are mixed up or not. Oh well, I’ll just have a different stout. I ask the man if I can have a taste of another beer… Normal practice at other bars. «what do you mean you want a taste?» he asks me. Ooook… Nevermore, I’ll just take a full pour ($ 5). The owner has the balls to take the same glass with all the tester beers still mixed in it and pour me a glass of pumpkin porter. No thanks, sir. I finally just accept an unadulterated beer glass half full of foam and chug it just to get out of that sorry excuse for a tap room.
Also, they have a $ 3 corkage fee. Way to derail business.
The tap room isn’t horrible… They just need to staff a bartender with some knowledge in beer and beer etiquette. I managed to get away with Firestone 17^th anniversary for $ 25 out the door, which isn’t horrible. So I got that going for me.
Oh! They make you use your debit card cause they are too cheap to pay for the small fee that comes with using a credit card!

Came in here after always going to Cork N’ Bottle and hearing about this place.
The «tap room» area definitely feels a lot more brighter, and there’s a bonus: PORNO MAGS on the way to the bathroom.
The «craft beer» selection is good for the area.

The coolest place in fremont to have a beer! Although they have13 different micro brews on tap (changes all the time), I recently picked a bottle of coffee beer here and it was spectacular :)
when you walk in you have to go all the way back to the far right or you will completely miss the bar area. otherwise you think its just a liquor store.

Mission Liquors has nearly an hundred 22 oz. microbrews on display (stone, ninkasi, bear republic, drakes, firestone, etc), cheapest prices i’ve ever seen!
buys: «stone» smoked porter (4.29)
–smooth, dark not heavy, hint of smoke
on draught:
–beer tasting sign seen, didn’t notice any activity
–beer bar in back available, didn’t notice
–a post notes a 3 bottle purchase warrants 5% discount.

A seriously legit liquor store boasting a craft beer tasting bar in the back that includes awesome picks like Sierra Nevada’s Hoptimum. The bottle selection here is one of the best I’ve seen and not far off at all from some favorites like Beer Revolution. This is quite a gem in the middle of a low-​key strip mall in Fremont and absolutely worth a visit for beer aficionados.

Review based on Beer Selection and tasting bar.
Uh. Good Beer Selection.
The tasting bar in the back has 10+ beers on tap to taste or try in small, medium or large for $ 2-​$ 5. Saturdays I think they do a tasting of all of them for like $ 5. People come to hang and it’s lo key.
