Quarters Discount Liquors

We always stop in here when we are in town on business. Really nice, knowledgable guys. Prices are very good and a great selection. We find things here that no one else has and stock up.

Quarters has a great variety of beer, wine, and liquor. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful. There are two in Albuquerque; one on Yale near the University of New Mexico, and one in the NE Heights. They have a little something for everybody.

I’ve read a few reviews of this place that mention the unsavory characters in the parking lot and they sure weren’t lying. I see people heading in here that seem like they’ve been drinking a month straight. I’ve seen people that I thought were going to ask for change and were smart enough not to bother when they saw my cold, unsympathetic eyes. And I’ve seen people I thought were going to slug me in the face for looking in their direction. So yeah, not exactly inviting. But hey, there’s some real reward after you run the gauntlet, so don’t be deterred by any of the nonsense you see outside.
Once inside, you’ll find a veritable selection of beer, anything from your variations of piss water to craft beer from different corners of the US to some of the common and a few less common European brews. I generally spend about 10 minutes looking over all my option and looking them over again before making a decision. There are some helpful little tags on some of the craft beers that inform you of how
folks have scored a certain beer, although this would certainly be more helpful if it was on EVERY beer.
I definitely drink more beer than liquor, but I have noticed a wide selection of liquors for sale also. It’s all enough to keep a man (or a woman) drunk.
The prices are reasonable, not necessarily as cheap as I’d like considering that this place fits the description of «hood» and therefore should have prices to match that motif, but they’re not exorbitant either. I generally end up buying the more expensive craft beers anyways, so I guess I’m no expert on their prices.
At day’s end, this place is convenient for me and anyone else in the UNM/​CNM vicinity and easily accessible from the airport, making for an easy, much-​needed pit stop after a long flight if I arrive early enough.
I would say that Jubilation is cleaner and probably has a better and wider selection, but I can’t always be driving so far away for a beer, you know?

Ok, so walking in you feel like you should buy a couple of paper sacks to drink your liquor or beer from once purchased, HOWEVER this place is a haven for lovers of a well-​stocked bar at affordable prices! The staff are knowledgeable and laid back and there is always something entertaining on the televisions! Don’t be surprised to find some gems in their wine rooms! They also have a selection of kosher wines, which is rare.

A great selection of wines, beers, and liquors (although much of the wine, oddly, is in a back room that doesn’t smell quite right). The prices are good and the staff are friendly and usually entertaining for whatever junk they have on the tube.
Check the specials when you walk in the door and don’t be afraid to ask if you can’t find something you want. They’re helpful.

The place looks like a store where bums go to get their drunk on.
You have to search in the back to find the best selection of wines in Albuquerque. Some decent cru beaujolais. Very nice selection of burgundies in many price ranges. Good Italian selection along with some decent German and Austrian wines.

haha, what a dive. But the peeps are nice, the beer is cold, and the price is right. They have a great selection of tequila, beer, wine, scotch, but not much in the way of cognac and whiskey.

If you need staples for your party or home bar this is likely one of the best deals in town.
It’s in the student ghetto (and near the bus depot and a cemetery) so the selection of beer in huge cases is awesome. The hard liquor standards are all there with really good prices to match. The wine selection is decent considering their client base.
The staff is rough but at least not as rough as many of the clients. Don’t expect much expertise from the employees but treat them with respect and they will certainly acknowledge you as a regular customer and do their best to accommodate your needs which is more then I can say about most businesses in ABQ.
