Scooter Liquors

The place has been there for years for as long as I can remember they have a little drive thru so you don’t really have to find parking

Scooters is a Colorado institution! I’ve been buying beer and liquor there since I was 16 (unlikely they do that anymore).
While not a very good selection, and not a very friendly staff, they are conveniently located and do sell alcohol.

I don’t know what is going on with the crummy reviews but this place is BY FAR the best liquor store in the area. The folks at Scooters have never been anything but professional, polite, and competent. If there are problems with the drive-​thru, it’s because you don’t know what you want, in which case — GO INSIDE — like every other liquor store in Denver. Besides, on a slow day, you can get Spanish and Korean lessons. Five stars hands down! Don’t listen to the rest of these people. The folks that work here are among the nicest people you will ever meet.
Let us all remember that this place is on Colfax — no matter how great the establishment, homeless and creepy people are bound to come in. One night, not too long ago, a homeless man was there, buying liquor and hanging around for what felt like too long. My favorite clerk who works there, Daniel, insisted that I wait inside until the homeless man was gone. After what seemed like a safe amount of time, STILL insisted that I wait a bit longer, until he had finished ringing up the customers in line so that he could walk me out to my car. This place is as good as they get!
P. S. If you get over-​charged for liquor, drive-​thru or not, perhaps don’t buy liquor drunk! You’re not being over-​charged, you just forgot what you ordered upon waking up in the morning.

Conveniently located with solid choices and good hours, prices and service. A handy place to live near.

I have read the below reviews and they about sum it all up.
Parking: My reaction when told where the parking lot was… «That’s a parking lot?»
Selection: Vast in such a small space
Drive up: Yes, they have one. didn’t use it.
Music: I can’t quite describe the music they were playing… it was the same hypnotic
trance techno thing over and over. I’m not sure if he likes it, or was just trying to annoy people so they didn’t loiter.
After a few texts and calls, we wound up only needing to buy Ice. But they had it!
Like any place else, you have to be aware of your surroundings and if you’re not willing to go some place else you pay what they want. No different then a convenient store. Cup o Noodles at Wally. 25 cents… buy them at a convenient store and it can be 2 bucks!

Should be a negative star. The people operating scooters are very unethical. Myself and friends of mine have come to figure out that they will screw you over anyway they can if you use the drive thru. If you ask for something specifically they tell you they are out and con you into buying something more expensive. They have also been known to over charge such as charging for an 18pk when your only getting a 12pk. BEWARE of the scheisters!!!

The new owners are great, and they are getting more competitive with their prices. I like the new layout too!

i just wanted to give a shout out to scooters. My roommates and i live right across the street, and we go to scooters a few times a week. They have great prices on wine, have a drive through, and have great store hours.
Shout out to our boy Danny. He is such a doll, the sweetest guy, always gives us a warm welcome.
Thanks scooters !!!

This is my neighborhood liquor store. The short little Korean lady is always friendly and cracks me up whenever I go in. It’s an alright store to go to but if your wanting a huge selection I would recommend else where.

I’m not sure how it’s been an entire month since I moved into my new place, but I haven’t been to the liquor store yet? What? Yesterday, beers were needed badly, and thus a trip to Scooter since it’s the closest to my apartment. I didn’t realize until after I parked in the triangularizoid lot that they had a drive up window, but considering their small liquor selection it probably would have taken me a while to find what I wanted had I pulled up to the window. This place is pretty small with a limited selection, and I think I’ll reserve it for emergency trips only. I imagine that they get quite a few characters in here on a regular basis, but the gal behind the checkout counter totally flinched when I accidentally touched her hand to retrieve my credit card slip to sign. I didn’t think I was that scary, sorry!
I’ll def be back, but think I’ll save Scooter for emergencies only.

2 words:

This store is the epitome of the Colfax stereotype.
…and it’s not cheap.
The parking lot is awkward at best… the word (s) «clusterfuck» come to mind.
I honestly worried about getting jacked in the store before I got back out to my car. Yes, I felt safer outside… on the corner.
1 star for the friendly cashiers
1 star for the location — it is quite convenient… but damn

this place is right down the block from me and they’re open late, like midnight, which is pretty convenient for anything last minute. the people who run the joint are very friendly and helpful. they don’t have the biggest selection, but they’ve got something that’ll do you for sure. plus they have a drive through. seriously, a drive through! now if there were just delivery we’d all be set!

We used to live around the corner from this joint (and yes, it’s ALWAYS been called «Scooter Liquors,» even before scooters became the hipster accessory du jour, or gas prices got so high even your 56-​year-​old accountant started driving one. The cute Asian couple who own it knew us by purchase– if not by name– and we were always greeted with a cheery, «Thirty pack PBR for you?» whenever we came in.
«Oh, no thirty pack PBR today? You want Boone’s Farm?»
Yeah, they’ve got that too.

Not the cheapest place ot get alcohol but sure is convenient since there is a drive-​thru. Also, a tip from my lovely friend. If you want to get a chap magnum of wine, park and go in. Unless you know the name of the bottle you are looking for, the window service people may not give you the cheapest bottle if you get my gist. That is if you are not picky with wine.
My friend caught me drinking some White Zin yesterday. I have offciially been disowned.
