Lee’s Discount Liquor

Super annoyed & pissed! I’m walking thru the store w/​my nephew, husband & niece, (mind you were in the store almost 10 minutes at this point) & the security guard asks my nephew if I was w/​him… I’m standing right there, & proceeds to tell me that I can’t have my purse in the store!!! I don’t carry a giant purse! I understood at first (he said it wasn’t against me over & over but didn’t take my nieces purse from her, as we were paying 2 other females w/​pretty big purses (way bigger than mine) walk in the store & he approaches them but doesn’t take thier purses away from them! I asked the cashier why that was & he had no answer for me! Why isn’t this person at the door checking bags as people walk in instead of approaching them in the store mid shopping making people feel like shoplifters! I shop quite often at the one on flamingo & Pecos & NEVER HAVE THEY MADE ME FEEL LIKE A SHOPLIFTER! I know I’ll NEVER spend another dollar at this location!

Running around Thanksgiving night looking to buy a bottle and Lee’s discount liquor let me in with 2 minutes to spare… very thankful!

I was going to give them 3 stars because the cashier was super rude, but I’ll go with 4 stars simply because they have a growler fill station.
Although I like Lee’s, I tend to support smaller businesses that don’t have such a warehouse feel, but I was in the area and stopped in to grab some beer for the night.
They have decent specials and discounts from time to time and their craft beer selection is pretty solid. I am disappointed that this particular cashier was so unfriendly, but what can you do? I didn’t have to wait very long for the other cashier to help me, and she was very nice. Plus, I don’t go to Lee’s expecting 5 star service…

I cannot praise this store enough. Angelina and Chris were both so helpful! I had a last minute order, Chris picked out craft beers he thought I would like, Angelina created a gift basket and delivered it for me within hours of my order. I highly recommend this business!!!

Why do you say you will match anyone’s prices and a large sign outside, but you can only do it when the manager is there? I’ll continue to go to Total Wine in the future.

You already know what to expect, it’s Lee’s.
This location is bigger than most in Vegas, but the service is kinda slow. Beyond that, this place is the «Walmart» of alcohol. You want to drink it, they most likely have it.
Everything from the basic beers to a craft lover’s dream. It’s all here my friend!
A-​OK!

Great selection, Great service! They get ya on the mixers but still a great 5 star place!

(About half a mile from the Ethel M candy factory and cactus garden, so a cool «day trip» 20 minutes drive from the strip.)
Fantastic liquor store that seems all right for beer and wine (if not quite as over the top as they are for liquor). All the standard high end stuff (Henley’s gin, Johnny Walker Red and Black, Blanton’s bourbon) is on the shelf and at prices that were below what you could find at Von’s grocery. But then go to the locked cabinet to see the really exotic stuff (e.g., check out the 15 or 20 over the top tequilas!).
So from really cheap low end through every shade of middle price to way beyond my means, this place was fantastic.
Racks and racks of wine, but arranged in a strange and difficult to figure way (even for the staff). You can find lots of good things, but you have to know on your own what you are doing. I don’t know much about beer, but probably the same – pretty wide variety, but not a lot of sense in the choices or arrangements (or staff knowledge).
Not a lot of staff, total warehouse ambiance, «do it yourself» but truly fun on those terms.

Alter to the Gods of Liquor and Beer!
«We have to run to the liquor store for a few things.» I never thought a simple sentence could lead to a practical library of potent potables. If I had a store like this near me, I could go everyday day and try something new for the rest of my life. Liquor, beer, wine, and soft drinks lined every aisle and wall. I got lost in the beer section; they had selections from all over the world, with many I never even heard of. I found the last remaining Oktoberfest beers on clearance… I was thrilled! You can find anything you can dream of here.
The store is well lit and very clean. It’s at a great location as well. The cashier was memorable– super nice and interested to make conversation. Friendliness is always a nice end to a shopping trip.
This is the best place to start a night you won’t remember!

I love this story! They have a giant selection, obviously. They have a tasting bar which the person working there is more than willing to let you taste things help you with drink ideas and find out exactly what it is you’re looking for. The rest of the employees are just as helpful and friendly. I’ve never had a problem getting exactly what I wanted here at the store. And although you would think prices would be through the roof they truly aren’t. Very fairly priced.

I was in to this Lees on Sunset on Oct 1 between 4 pm and 4:30 pm — always has been a friendly/​helpful store — I am partially crippled — so if Kenny the son is going in and or out of the store same time you are — beware — a nice man was helping me with my purchase, carry the case to the car and Kenny comes in the «exit» door while I am leaving seriously crowding me and making it difficult for me to get thru the exit door — Kenny needs to have a lesson in manners, and being courteous to others. Just because he is on TV, he needs to understand he is definitely NOT a star.

Always friendly service… the prices may not be as cheap as Total Wine but sometimes convenience beats saving a dollar. They may not have everything but it’s a pretty big store with decent selection. They do have good sales, it’s clean, always in and out fast. I will continue to shop here often.

I wanted to make my favorite mix drink and needed some ingredients that I can only find at Lee’s. I have looked around but have had no luck finding ginger beer for my Moscow Mule and ginger ale just isn’t the same. I was helped as soon as I entered on this busy fourth of July weekend so my time wasn’t spent looking through all the isles. However I did look around this warehouse of alcohol and was impressed with the variety of beer, wine and alcohol. I will be a patron of their location for sure.

This place has a good variety of booze. Especially if you are a beer or wine fan. I personally like my hard alcohol, but they have a lot of local and craft beers.
They also have tastings of various thing on Saturdays during the afternoon. I love free booze and expanding my palette. On top of that there are a few really cool people that work there. They work mostly on the weekends act don’t act like they hate their job. Always a bonus. The only downside to the place is that it doesn’t carry Blackheart rum, which is my favorite rum in existence. Oh well. They also have a clearance section hidden in the back that sometimes has decent things for dirt cheap.
If you need cheapish booze I recommend it.

I shop for beer almost exclusively, so I’ll review this place exclusively with regards to their beer.
I came in here looking for a Firestone Double Jack to take home to New Mexico since that brewery and their wonderful beers aren’t distributed back home and I thought for sure Lee’s, with the four Unilocal stars and glowing reputation would have what I need.
I scoured a few rows of beers and discovered that there were only a few rows of beers, which seemed odd considering the massive store. Where the heck were all the beers? On quantity alone for beer, this place failed me.
Well, how about the quality of the selection? No bueno? Nope. Very few things I couldn’t find at a Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods, first of all, and very few of the rare beers a whale hunter like myself goes after. It doesn’t matter where I go, I usually stumble upon some rarity or five and walk out of the store with buyer’s remorse at the amount I just spent. Not here. There were very, very few beers of note here. I almost didn’t find the Double Jack I came for and that beer is very ubiquitous in the states that border Cali.
But here’s the real kicker and why I give the two stars rather than three. I’m that snob that, if I were to have an establishment selling beer, I’d keep my inventory clean, keep an eye on freshness dates and expirations, and make sure my customers were getting the beers the way the brewery intended. So that Double Jack, a hop-​heavy beer that is best consumed fresh, really shouldn’t have a bottled on date of January 2013 and still be on shelves. That’s not fair to consumers or the breweries. Lee’s either doesn’t manage their inventory correctly or doesn’t care about their consumers. Either way, bad business.

DUDE!
This place is awesome! I don’t think I’ve seen one item here at a lower price anywhere else unless there was some special sale like buy one get one free somewhere at a grocery store or something.
Always gonna find the best deals all around here though.
Customer service is always good too.
Just one of those places. Good customer service is rare these days and so is a good deal. This place has both.

I wish I had a Lee’s somewhere around me in So Cal!!! Well, maybe not because I would probably drink way too much. The selection was amazing, tons of every type of beer, wine and liquor you could ever want. I saw so many different type of booze I never even knew existed. The beer selection was great, many out of the ordinary choices. The prices were great as you would expect from a «discount» store. I also liked the open feel of the store, huge and not cramped. Also noticed a tasting bar!

Keep it short & sour like my experience. Came in looking for a particular lager with 5 employees on the floor. Not one acknowledged me or asked if I needed help. I finally approached cashier and she looked up and just pointed to approximate location… guess it was too much to ask her to actually find it for me.
I walked out and crusty old guy at cashier didn’t bother to look up to see if I was smuggling liquor out or anything.
LAZY, LAZY, LAZY!
I’ll give my business and reviews to Total Wine from now on.

As an educated buyer, I really enjoy the occasional finds at Lees. The staff is generally pretty ignorant of wine so an uneducated buyer will have a problem and likely be lead to whatever huge allotment needs to move. I think the stores are just a bit too big for good quality control. Tons of white wines and rosés on the shelves well beyond their expiration and brown, but they’ll sell them to you and returns aren’t always easy. So if you know what you’re after/​buying, again some great deals and nice finds. Otherwise, it’s dangerous. That said, Lees is a great place to get wines with some nice bottle age, whereas Total Wine is ONLY newly released vintages.

If you have seen my review of Total Wine, you know that I love alcohol. And no, not in a 21 year old way, but in a responsible 30 year old way (most of the time). When I walk into a liquor store, I love being overwhelmed with the vast selection of alcohol glory in front of me. At this Lee’s location, I was just, meh. Not a bad meh, just a little underwhelmed.
The selection was fair, but disorganized. Even though there were aisle markers and a couple of people walking around to help, I have been spoiled by Total Wine labeling everything like my mom did when I was a kid to ensure that I didn’t eat anything that wasn’t A. Eatable or B. Belonged to someone else. I’m gluten-​free, so I love knowing exactly where ciders are located, as well as seasonal and craft ciders and then GF beer. Let’s say it was not easy finding my way around. Also, the selection for cider was lacking, big time. They didn’t have simple Woodchuck, which can be found at Smith’s and Fresh and Easy (non-​liquor stores).
Lee’s did have a nice refrigerated section, possibly larger than Total Wine. Also, a couple items we normally purchased were maybe a dollar less than TW, but nothing astronomically different than anywhere else we’ve gone in this town. I think I’ve just been so spoiled all this time by TW, that nothing, not even Lee’s can live up to my expectations?
However, Lee’s was saved when we received an invite to a parking lot party. It was really the vendors outside that deserve this review, but what is not to like trying 20+ wines and spirits? Plus, there was a DELICIOUS food truck at this party that made my tummy give a satisfactory rumble. I know this wasn’t IN Lee’s, but they did sponsor it, so I will definitely give them kudos.
All in all, Lee’s is good, but not the GREAT I was looking for. However, please take this with a grain of salt considering we like larger selections of craft beers from across the world and more specialty drinks/​beers/​spirits since I am gluten free. For someone looking for a decent selection, Lee’s will be perfect!
