Players Liquor

Tonight me and a friend, who is a United States Marine, was looking for a liquor store and stumbled upon this place, my friend goes inside to buy a bottle of Jack Daniels & Coke a Cola and when asked for I.D. he showed the clerk his military I.D. and was then DENIED service. The clerk said «we do not honor that here», they do not honor him serving his country and helping fight for those who can’t fight for themselves.
and no he wasn’t looking for a discount when he showed his military I.D., that’s the only form of I.D. he had at the time.

Love this little, «old school» liquor/​convenience store! Has everything you could need, nice wine selection, helpful people behind the counter, PARKING which is rare for a store by the beach. So convenient to grab whatever you need on the way to or from the beach.

Fine place.

I have been stopping by ‘Player’s Liquor’ for many years mostly because it is located right below ‘El Porto Surf.’
Player’s Liquor is a small liquor store that is situated in the ‘El Porto’ area of Manhattan Beach. This liquor store is located within walking distance of several restaurants & bars in the area and gets quite a bit of foot traffic from both. Player’s Liquor as stated above is on the small side but they still have basically everything any other Liquor store might have in the area. Player’s Liquor sells a wide range of microwavable food items, cereals, soups, potato chips, dips, ice cream, beer, wine & of course alcohol.
Player’s Liquor acts as a local supermarket for those who live within the area for your basic food, alcohol & lottery needs.
The parking at Player’s is quite limited and is ‘interesting’ getting in and out of this lot with your car. If the lot is full there is limited residential /​street parking available and strictly enforced by the Manhattan Beach parking enforcement.
I am all about supporting the local business. The next time I visit ‘El Porto Surf’ to reload on surfboard wax I will without question visit Player’s Liquor and ensure I purchase something. If you happen to be in the area make sure you stop and do the same. The staff that works here are always friendly and always have a smile on their faces and service with a smile truly says a lot about the person and a lot about the store=)
With Player’s Liquor being so close to the water ensure whatever you purchase finds its way to the proper recycling receptacle, Be the Good, always!!!
Help keep our Oceans & Beaches clean, those who call it home are depending on it.

Over 10 bucks for a 6pack of Pacifico, whatever. It’s convenient.
Over 10 bucks for 2 packs of Reds, whatever. It’s convenient.
Friendly guy at the counter, thanks. =)
$ 10 minimum, predictable.

A quality liquor store. They’ve got all the basics like milk, eggs, juice, gatorade, etc., plus a few things that make the difference. Decent selection of wines, an ATM, bags of ice, and my personal favorite — disposable plastic flasks for 99 cents. These are very handy if you’re headed to a concert or sporting event and would rather not pay 18 bucks per drink.
And it helps that the guys who work there are always very friendly.

This is a great little liquor store, directly across from Sharkeez Manhattan Beach. Basic liquor, snacks, sodas, etc.
They have a great selection of everything, and easy to get to going north on Highland (or walking home from Sharkeez).
