Who in their right mind gives a tiny, cramped, hard to find liquor store in Pacific Beach five stars? The answer: this guy! It will probably take you longer to read this review than my total elapsed time in Palm Liquor, but my experience(though short) was a memorable one. Knowing that there would be excess Champagne in my not so distant future, my search for Tums brought me to the closest liquor store and that liquor store just so happened to be, Palm. The Tums were conveniently placed on the shelf near the cash register and I was presented with options. I rolled with the extra-strength and literally turned around to pay — this is where the five stars comes into play. The dude working on New Years Eve was cheery, smiling and quick to wish me an epic evening. He was so damn polite and genuine, which is something that these convenient liquor stores lack these days. I was out the door in a matter of seconds with well wishes and I really wish I could say«I’ll be back soon.» In reality, my next visit will have to wait a year. ‘Till next time, Palm!

I didn’t realize that this was also a convenient store! They have more than liquor, they also have snacks, ice cream, sodas, starbucks cold drinks, etc. The owner of the store, Ryan, was super nice and helped me pick out a wine. He even went the extra mile to get me a chilled one. He also has a rockin mustache.

Great service from the nicest guy! I went in to get some beer and water and these rowdy kids came in and he handled them with kid gloves. Very polite service and a good vibe for a liquor store/mini mart. I came back in later on and he recognized me and was super helpful. We’ll be back while in town for sure!

Very chill staff and good selection. Convenience is key. Great location and they sell single red cups. Who says you can’t drink at the beach?

It’s a liquor store. A small one. Nothing more, nothing less. But it deserves an extra star for these reasons: * Andre sparkling wine, both uncooled and in the cooler, brut and extra dry, for the connoisseurs. * Two different sizes of Jaegermeister in the ice-cream freezer – i’m not in that market, but i appreciate. * A fair selection, for the size of the shop, of good beer – for which i am in the market. * The sons who staff it most often are really pleasant fellows. My new local liquor-store, now that Mission Bay Market has closed? Check. Awesome name, reminiscent of Ferris Bueler’s Day Off? Check.
