Carl’s Liquor Store

Carl’s Liquor Store reminds you of a western-​style general store with a distinct feel as well as most of the stuff 7-​Eleven has. For smokers (i don’t do that) this is your gold mine. There is a large selection of cigarettes as well as hookah lamps. Selection of liquor was decent. You can also through the front or the back. Drinks in the cooler are among the coldest in town. This liquor store is also a hotbed for those who like to play the lotto. The parking lot is huge but the lighting is terrible at night. I would be weary of my surroundings during the night. Staff is friendly and easy to deal with. Among the best liquor stores in Rancho Cucamonga and the entire Inland Empire.

Unilocal’s 365 Review Challenge 2014 #273 — #365
This liquor store has been around for years since Rancho Cucamonga was in the midst of the building boom. The exterior of the building looks old and is mostly covered in vines.
Over the years I’ve seen staff come and go. The clientele is no different than any other liquor store; attached to it is, «The Deli» and has been a staple to the city as well. Old buildings bring back the nostalgia of the early years and this one is no exception.
The parking lot has horrible lighting at night, so I advise you to be aware of your surroundings.

One of the best liquor store in Cucamonga area .They have some of the biggest craft beer selection I have seen around. staff are friendly and alway keep me coming back.

I have been going to carls since 2000. Even though they changed staff, they always have what I need.

Liquor store on the corner, very large parking lot, huge selection of beer, alcohol and sodas.
Ugh bought the last ones… where is my orderrrr?
Verified the order for tomorrow…
Only place that’s sells my The Dew Tallboys.
All the, drinks are ice cold

since the new staff this place has gone down hill and is now one of the most expensive liquor stores in Rancho, I drive a mile further from them to get better service and prices. 99¢ shots at any other store are $ 1.69 plus tax here, everything else is usually 10 — 15% more here. I guess all things come to an end, I only come here in emergencies.

To those who say I have a stick up my butt, I HAVE worked in customer service before… the idea is that you give the customer «service» not give her a hard time. Think about it, logically, it couldn’t have been more obvious that I was allowed to pick up the keg but apparently, they like giving non-​regulars a hard time, just like another reviewer pointed out.

A non corporate business. Michael is a very nice and helpful guy. This is where i will only buy my booze.

ivy covered building looks slightly charming during the day and totally sinister at night. carl’s patrons are friendly — one gentlemen, in selecting his cigarettes asked me whether he should get the marlboro silvers or golds, I dunno — he got the silvers. standard liquor store, smaller than I expected.

I’ve always found the staff to be a little cool to anyone who is not a «regular.» They have a lot of different wines. They have a whole section of the store decorated like a lounge to play lottery games– Bizarre. The building is interesting, and very old. Go next door to the Deli and have a French Dip sandwich and look at the old pictures of the immediate neighborhood. there’s a REALLY old Route 66 gas station across the street.
Update June 2011– — So– three years after my lukewarm review, in 2008, this other reviewer, «Truth», emailed me to say he thinks I ought to improve the two-​star rating as «it makes no sense.»
Well — it was accurate then, but I admit I have no idea what the place is like now as I am no longer a local resident, so take that into account– maybe I missed the chance to deal with the friendly «Michael» so praised by other reviewers. Last time I was in the area, though, I would have bought my liquor products at one of the warehouse liquor places.
