Jerry’s Liquor Store

If you’re looking for something, this place has it. I was introduced to this awesome boxed drink called Beatbox by a friend, and when time came to buy a new one… Jerry’s Liquor was the only place in the area to carry it. It even had another flavor from the same company in case I ever want to branch out!
Not only that, but since I was already in the store I decided to ask Sam about a Ryan McGinness limited edition bottle of Hennessy that had just came out a month ago. He wasn’t aware of this special bottle, but asked to see a photo of it, took a screenshot, and said he would have it for me the following week. Sure enough, I get a call 5 days later and Sam tells me he’s got the bottles for me. And if that wasn’t enough, he charged me less than the suggested retail price, which saved me about $ 20 (as it would’ve cost me $ 15 in shipping and handling alone had I gone straight to the Hennessy/​Reserve Bar site). Sam has definitely won me over as a return customer.

Sammy runs a stand up shop and keeps his customers happy. Get hooked up with a première beer wine and liquor selection.

Tried to scam us by selling a $ 39 bottle for $ 399. Twice.
My company sent a runner (who is not an expert in whiskey) to buy a 750mL bottle of Sazerac Rye Whiskey (6yr). Of the few other liquor stores that sell it (and it is difficult to find), it goes for about $ 35 – 45. Jerry’s sold it to us for $ 399 + tax. Twice.
The first time, no one noticed because the person who bought it and the person who balances the credit card don’t know any better. The second time, however, we used this thing called Google to find out the actual price. AND verified it with Duck Blind on Montana. We’ll be going to Duck Blind from now on.

This landmark liquor store has been in operations for more than 40 years. Sammy, never fail to provide me with good service and he has a large inventory of most items.
Wines, beers, smokes, cigars, ice cream… He is most accommodating …

Super nice guys working there, especially Sammy, and they’ll usually take a few dollars off a bottle of something special if you ask nicely.

Sammy is the shit and this place is the cheapest around and great service!!! Love this place

The employee also charged me a dollar more than the total. What a bunch of scumbags.

My 5 star review is for Sammy, the guy who runs the place, which I would assume because he is always in there. He does an amazing job with customer service. He always remembers me, and makes small talk. He is super friendly and helpful, and always goes above and beyond. Sammy’s exceptional customer service is the reason why I keep going back to Jerry’s.

I have been driving past this place for years, so I decided to make a stop. I don’t think I will be doing that again.
I needed one thing, which was a bottle of Wild Turkey 101. Asked for it and dude grabbed it. I don’t remember when, but Wild Turkey changed their label/​seals roughly two years ago. Dude grabs the bottle and after he took about an inch of dust off the bottle he sold it to me for just shy of $ 30. I get Whiskey does not go bad, but nearly $ 14 more for an old bottle. Yeah, one and done. Sorry Jerry.

One of the few places in the LA area that stocks alcoholic whipped cream. On 7÷19÷12 they had CREAM in raspberry and peppermint, and all Whipsy flavors.
The place is a bit of a mess but they have a great selection if you’re patient.

Great experience every time. This is my go to place for kegs. I love the energy here. Very nice easy going guys, helpful, and service oriented. Not what you’d expect from such a place.

This place rocks! I go to UCLA and this is the only place in the area with this great of a selection and such competitive prices. The guys who work there, especially Sam are all courteous and helpful, and when I say they hook it up I really mean hook it up. I get everything I buy from here for a huge discount compared to prices at other places. Must be why this place is so popular because there are people going in and out all the time. If you go to UCLA or live in the area, definitely check this place out. Great selection of beers, wine and spirits and they do a keg service for you real party animals.

Jerry’s has the best selection and service of any liquor store in the area. My man Sam behind the counter always discounts bottles for me and I will continue to only purchase from Jerry’s.

This place is great they have everything in town from really rare import beer which is my favorite to the best selection of Tequila and Wine two of my favorites I work 2 blocks away «Sammy» the owner is great he’s always willing to work with you if you find a rare drink and is out of your budget he’s willing to work on the price or recommends something with in your means is by far the best place thanks «Sammy» Rudy V.

I am going to keep this short and sweet. We purchased a keg of Budweiser from this location and it was a total disaster.
While loading the keg into my brand new SUV, somehow the store personnel managed to cause hundreds of dollars worth of damage to my back bumper.
When confronted Selim (the manager) did not attempt to deny that they had done the damage but tried to say that they were not responsible for repairing it because they are only responsible for what happens in their store (and not, presumably, their respective parking lot at the hands of their own employees).
Needless to say, this has been a fiasco and I will never recommend that someone visits this place for anything.
Spend the extra $ 10 and get your keg from BevMo down the street.

Legit liquor store.
Good selection of everything, wine, liquor, beer, you name it. If it gets you drunk or goes with something that makes you drunk (soda, lemons, limes, ginger ale) they probably have it.
The people running the place are great, too. Sam always takes care of me and my friends. We’ll even catch a few minutes of whatever game they have on and chat about why the Lakers wait so long to «flip the switch.»
Also, since this is my neighborhood party store, they discount everything once they get to know you. I brought a tall boy of Speakeasy IPA (good and strong) to the counter and must have looked surprised when the till said $ 6.00. Dude sold it to me for $ 4.
Granted, I know BevMo is cheaper, and does have more. However, BevMo has a tiny refrigerator. If you want a good COLD tall boy, sixer, case, wine, or champagne, go to Jerry’s.
I know they rock a bunch of kegs, since they’re always loading them into some Ranger Rover or X5 — but that’s all I know about that.
Anyway, great joint.

The service was the friendliest service I have ever encountered. He gave me discounts on every bottle of wine I bought (great selection too). He stood with me through the whole decision process and even loaded my daughters up with tons of free ice cream. I am more than satisfied.

This is the best place to buy booze, especially if you go to UCLA. Every time I visit Jerry’s, the guys working there and Sam (aka Salim?) in particular are not only helpful but also really flexible in making sure your drinking needs are met. He can pretty much get anything given a day or two’s notice. When I developed a taste for a certain Thai beer, Sam ordered several cases, which he sold to me (by the case) at only a dollar or two more than wholesale. I have heard that they can provide the REAL expensive drank so if you are a ballin high roller Sam might be your go-​to guy.
If you go to UCLA and are stocking for a party, remember that at Jerry’s, unlike any grocery store, you can always negotiate a bulk discount. Since the Ralphs in Westwood raised their prices (20 bucks for Keystone? What?) I can’t think of anything except maybe the cheapest vodka that Jerry’s doesn’t sell for less. They also carry fun stuff that Ralph’s doesn’t, like 40oz of Mickey’s as well as specialty liquors like Fireball spicy whiskey and special edition Absolut disco bottles.
Sometimes you don’t even need to buy in bulk to get a discount here. Sometimes they hand out free gifts with your purchase. I have heard rumors about the keg thing but it has definitely not happened to me (Newcastle was Newcastle) but I guess check the keg cap. When I go in I always feel like I’m invited to walk into the fridge room so just ask to check it out yourself when you pick it up.
I get the feeling Sam appreciates it when UCLA students bother to trek across the 405 to visit Jerry’s instead of whatever’s closer so he returns in kind with student-​friendly prices. Everyone I have brought here loves it, since it always seems like he’s giving my friends and I fantastic deals and the guys there extend a really warm, welcoming atmosphere quite conductive to purchasing spirits.

Great liquor store with very good selection.

Alright, I’ll admit this place is a pretty cool liquor store. Selim, the main proprietor, has a kick-​ass cockatoo out front, a very prescious and well taken care of bird. The liquor store itself is stocked with lots of great selections, as well as the typical snack food you’d expect from a high end liquor store.
If not for what I’m about to tell you, then I’d give it 5 stars.
Here’s my story:
At UCLA, I am part of the engineering grad student association. We have social events once or twice a quarter where we buy lots of pizza, beer, wine, other food, etc, for the engineering grad students, and we all hang out and have a good time (we’re talking ~500 ppl).
So we picked up 3 kegs from Jerry’s Liquor for our event. I hate when store owners do this, but Selim kept saying he’d give me a discount. I can’t help but feel like I’m getting ripped off when I hear «I’m giving you a discount».
The 3 kegs in question were:
1. Sierra Nevada
2. Coors Light
3. Fat Tire??? or is it???
Now the 3 kegs came out to $ 400 including tax. I don’t know if that’s good or bad, or if he really gave me a discount or not. I’ve never shopped for kegs before. He seemed like a nice enough guy, though, so I gave him the benefit of the doubt. Anyway, he took a $ 195 deposit for the 3 kegs and 3 taps, which seems exhorbitantly high. Plus, Jerry’s Liquor does not offer delivery service, except for small orders. So I had to use a commuter vehicle to return the kegs.
Now, for each of the kegs, there was a plastic cap over the tap hole. This seems to be a tamper-​evident type of cap. So, for the Sierra Nevada and the Coors, the cap was *in tact*. But!!! For the «Fat Tire,» the cap was RIPPED. I paid no attention, because the keg was full of beer and I was like «meh, whatever.»
Then, at the Social, I tried the «Fat Tire» and I thought it was very good. But, I received reports from at least a DOZEN people who are Fat Tire FANATICS that «THIS IS 100% DEFINITELY ***NOT*** FAT TIRE.»
So… I don’t know what to make of the situation. No one said «This beer sucks» but most people agreed it wasn’t Fat Tire.
Given the fact that the cap was ripped, I am inclined to think he gave us something else and switched the caps. So that’s pretty shady. But, the beer was good! No one complained that it wasn’t good!
I’m torn, but the experience has left us with little confidence in Jerry’s Liquor. I am afraid we will not be doing repeat business with them, but I would go back to check out the bird :)
