Soma Wines & Spirits

This place is awesome. Samer and crew are super funny, helpful, and generous. They have a great selection of liquor and wine and will help you find whatever you need. They also are stocked with delicious snacks and healthy goods. Love this place.

Always polite and courteous and always have a great selection of goodies. One of the few places in Soma I can get a can of Copenhagen, sandwich, a soda and zigzags within 1 block of home

Best convenience store in SOMA! Great selection, amazing service, and hilarious banter awaits you. Do it. Right now.

This place is shiesty…
Yes, I live across the street so it is convenient… but honestly not worth it. I think for most items, the price is made up when you get to the register. I bought a 6 pack that costs $ 6.99 at Trader Joes and was charged $ 14.00. Everytime I have gone I have paid so much for very little. When I ask why the prices aren’t clear on the items, I receive a shrug and no explanation. I will not be back here again.

This place is a total rip off first off they started treating me like shit after he found out I was military. I will never buy anything from this place ever again. Don’t waste your money on these assholes

You would think with such high prices, they could make up for it in service. The guy there is a dick. Rude and not helpful. Plan ahead and buy at the supermarket. I won’t be going back here again. I’d rather be sober.

Good beer and wine selection but I thought the wine was a little pricey. Friendly staff.

Not sure why I’m rating a liquor store. I stumbled in here once while it was raining and purchased a cheap umbrella for $ 8. They also have all of the beer & wine you could possibly handle. The location itself is a bit out of the way from most destinations, but it sure is dependable and is open fairly late.

I love this place! they know me by name and have always been so amazing! LOVE you Somas! and Sammir!!! you are amazing!!!

It’s close, they offer food and good quality wine, and they get the job done. If you’re friendly to them, they’re fine back. It’s a business deal, not a courtship. This place is great.

Over $ 12 for a 6 pack of Miller Light — expensive but the price reflects the fact that it’s directly across from a hotel. You pay for the convenience.
Friendly guy behind counter.

Not one of our usual reviews, but after deciding to visit even after the reviews below, I walked away with a much lighter wallet but without the slimy feel that so many people describe. $ 22.49 for a 12pk of Hoegaarden is waaaay steep ($ 15 at BevMo), but easier than driving a convenient couple miles. The gentleman behind the counter greeted me with a ‘how ya doing’, and was cordial throughout the transaction although he seemed a bit off-​kilter as if he was medicated or slightly special-​needs. Great selection though, and location location location. We’ll be back if we run out of adult beverages during our stay here in SoMa.

I only write this because it offends my sensibilities to pay $ 13 for a 6 pack that I know I can get for about half the price somewhere else. Soma wines and spirits is lucky there’s not much else around because they can monopolize and be a total rip off. I saw the guy add on multiple, random, additional charges to the base price and it has me questioning what the hell they are doing there. Can someone please call the better business bureau?

*Extremely cold beer.
*Extremely high price$.
*Extremely close to home.
I have no choice but to come here as there is nothing else open. They can charge me what ever they want and I’ll pay it.

I couldn’t ask for a better corner store so close to work. This liquor store is always fully stocked with Odwalla, gum, mints, Clif Bars, and many other daily essentials I forget to grab leaving my house. But perhaps what I love more is their great assortment of candies and treats from around the world; digestive biscuits, wafer cookies, Swiss chocolates, and Kinder candies. When my 3pm sweet tooth kicks in, you might find me at Soma Wines perusing the candy section alongside the counter.

Anyone who reads my reviews knows I hit up all the liquor stores (dirty and all) for weird beverages. The guy working here was paying more attention to his phone than anything and though they have a ton of cameras as the aisles are tall, im not sure he’s watching them. Got a honey sweetened lemon/​ginger iced tea which was pretty solid. For 2.50 though, it was good but pricey. Not many other convenience stores in the area so it’s there for just that. Convenience.

I’ve been coming to this neighborhood for the last 10 years and to the store for the last 6 years. These guys are great, work their butt off, know their customers on a first name basis and know the customers preferences.
Some of the comments are unfair. This is not Trader Joe’s: I don’t know what the rent is but it is safe to assume it is very high. Nevertheless, their 6 pack of Bass is not even a couple bucks more than at Trader Joe’s. You pay a little bit for convenience on some items and you support your local merchant. There are also items you don’t find anywhere else: Maltesers, Lion, Bounty, all sorts of Swiss Chocolates, healthy organic Frozen dinners, Premium ice creams, Organic Milk etc. Regarding the comment on the fact they don’t ship wine to other States, I wouldn’t even ask a neighborhood liquor store and deli whether they ship wine to other States.
I love this place. Go in and find out for yourself.

The guy who works here is a *complete* asshole, if I wasn’t in a rush I’d just break the damn bottle over his head and drive to safeway.
Also sick of Muslim liquor store employees/​owners that don’t drink alcohol for religious reasons but sell it. If its for Islamic reasons, how is selling the intoxicating substance better? Know I say this while I have a Muslim heritage myself. I asked him about a particular spirit and he said he didn’t drink in a condescending way, he says this as behind him is one of the most grand displays of alcohol I have ever seen in my life (remember the «library» in Beauty and the Beast? just replace the books with bottles). And so then mfer, why do you work at a place that is called soma WINE & SPIRITS
The man was very threatening and again *a$$hole* is jus the best word for him. like so much so someone should put an entry of «that guy who works at Soma wine & spirits» under «asshole» on urban dictionary… you know what, maybe i’ll do it!
Oh ya, everything is super overpriced, try $ 6 for the large size redbulls, $ 5 for mediums, 4 for small etc, same applies to the alcohol.
Everything jus strangely felt like i was dealing with a drug dealer, and not weed.

Just another day in a life of a chocoholic!
I just came here today with the boss and I’m officially a fan!
Why you asked?
They sell Cadbury Fruit and Nut chocolate bars! Yes oh yes!
At first I thought I was hallucinating, but when I came close to the check out stand, my heart dropped. I immediately grabbed four (of course checking the packing and making sure it was made in England) and I proceeded to check out.
$ 12 later, I came out with six bars of chocolate.
Problem solved. Totally made my freakin’ day!

WALKING DISTANCE BOOZE!
The Asahi ($ 5) I bought here could easily be used as a murder weapon prior to drinking it… literally six ounces shy of a FORTY… classy.
But seriously… a liquor store RIGHT across the street from the hotel… just further proof that God exists and wants me to be happy.
