Busa Wine & Spirits

I tried to purchase alcohol here and was denied due to the cashier accusing me of being intoxicated. In fact, I hadn’t had anything to drink that day, and did not say or do anything out of the ordinary «Hi, how are you.» interaction at the register. Not only did she falsely accuse me of being drunk, but she was very rude about it. I told her that I would not be going back there. I have also told several of my friends who were regular customers there, and they won’t be going back either. I was not at all surprised to see that this store has a one star rating.

25 years old and wasn’t allowed to purchase due to an out of state ID. Staff was strange and rude about it as well. But were willing to allow a stranger to buy our beer if we gave our money to them.

I drive 15 – 20 minutes out of my way just to AVOID Busa’s. They’re extremely rude, and I refuse to give them my business anymore on principle. They would not sell to me because I was with an old friend from out-​of-​state who was visiting, and despite both of being use being well of legal age, they wouldn’t accept her out of state license, nor sell to me after that fact!
I can understand wanting to protect oneself from the liability of underage drinkers, but they’re just ridiculous. The sooner they’re out of business the better.

Don’t bother. I’m 29 years old and visiting family from California. Wine selection is atrocious and over priced. Like others they wouldn’t take an out of state ID. I asked to speak with the manager an with a smerk he said he was. Absolutely unprofessional even if that is the policy.

Should change their name to Booooooo-​sa.
First time I went there was because I have a friend that lives down the street, so it was convenient. Didn’t have a problem. Went another time. No problem. did notice that the staff as weird, but they were young so didn’t think anything of it.
Talk about about 3^rd times the charm… they would not sell to me… some drivel about not taking an out of state ID. I looked at the woman and was like serious? I’ve been here 3 times, you sold to me last time… She told me no. I told her just slide my card through the machine like you did last time. She told me no again… So I offered my PASSPORT.
No.
No? Really Booooo-​sa liquors… YOU HAVE TO EXCEPT A PASSPORT!
So someone commented before about notoriously entitled family and I see that they are a franchise somewhat. So I’m wondering if they are inbred because this type of business set up is not very bright.
So because I was having a wine and cheese party, I went down to Berman’s where they were friendly, took my ID (because the grey hair and tattoos really make me look underage) and purchased $ 150 worth of wine… Thank you Berman’s for being a life saver and also being friendly and engaging friendly small talk!

awful. can’t say enough terrible things about this place. the rudest employees ever, but i guess i should have expected it because it is owned by one of the most notoriously entitled families in all of Lexington. will never return here and will advise all friends to do the same.
