Davy Jones Liquor Locker

Very disappointed that I spent a lot of cash on vodka that FROZE in the freezer.
Friendly staff, but the vodka shouldn’t turn into a slushy

Where to start… First with the gripers below, no this isn’t a fancy place to get your Silicon Valley beer; probably why you should’ve stayed in Silicon Valley, or whatever Midwestern state you hail from. This is Venice beach, and the gentrification that is happening to this quirky town is all of your bougie fault to begin with.
This is a solid spot where you can go say hi to Tom and gang, he’ll feed your dog treats and start up a decent rapport if you aren’t trying to impress everyone with that hat you got on Abbot Kinney for $ 1700. This place is representative of everything Venice is meant to be and if you don’t like it, be advised by blondie down below, hit up main street. We don’t want you here anyway.

Great beer selection! The manager/​beer buyer is a real beer fan and brings in different selection all the time. I got lucky one night; we were chatting about beers and he totally hooked me up. First disappeared and then came out of the back with his last bottle of Pliny the Elder that was held in private reserve. Tom is the man!

Neighborhood booze spot. Fuck you if you don’t support locals.

I’ve been coming here for years. They have a great selection and the employees always have great recommendations. They have easy parking right in front and they remember me even though I only stop by every month or two which I find very sweet. They also give my dog a free dog treat whenever I bring her so she gives this place two paws up. lol

This is a great place with a cool local, no nonsense vibe. Easy accessibility from beach, awesome selection of drinks and parking is convenient.

Davy Jones is a cool unique liquor store.
There are not that many liquor stores in the area. I don’t understand this. I thought Davy Jones was expensive but it seems like all liquor stores in this area are priced pretty high. Liquor stores in the area will also sell you beer by the bottle. Yup, 12oz of a bottle of beer can be all yours. This technically means you can build your own six pack but really it can be quite expensive.
The staff was entertaining and helpful. They do have a $ 10 credit card minimum.

local good thing. but way overpriced.

Good location for anyone walking Venice Beach that wants to buy some liquor. :)

They’ve got Bombora Vodka… so a winner in my book!

Strange vibes in this store, but useful at times. This place is close to the beach so it may be the closest place for a bottle of wine if you are on Venice beach… but I don’t like to linger too long.

This place has a good selection and is in a convenient location. Prices typical of a corner store in Los Angeles. Thank you for being a convenient convenience store.

FUCK this place!
My friends and I went to buy some beer and were taking our time trying to pick out something special after a day on the waves. My friend went to go look at the snacks and next thing you know, the white guy at the counter tells her that he needs to check her bag — all of our bags, as he stares at us menacingly.
Oh hell nah! At that point we decided that we were not going to ge… t anything and that guy lost some business. Naturally, we told him off and walked out of there without getting our bags checked. As we passed by the store again, he was standing outside with a cup of coffee giving us this choked-​goat stare, as if he was standing up to us when in fact, he’s the asshole who should have been apologizing. Racist!

This place is cool! It’s super clean and i’m staying down the street at a hotel this place is the only place to get cigs after 9pm within two miles of my hotel!

Amazing store with great service and prices. Good area and friendly staff

Kind of pricey, even for venice beach. 4 bottles of club soda for 12 bucks.

This dusty old place is around the corner from my house and has been there since the 60’s. the neighborhood has totally gentrified but Davey Jones is still operating back in the sketchy days of Venice. Staff is gruff and generally unfriendly. Wine selection sucks and while I doubt that anyone there cares it is really in their best interest try to cater to the completely changed demographic of the neighborhood already!!!

For a hole in the wall, this store has the most unique beer selection in the area right up there with the wine house and maybe alpine village. It may not be a big selection, but diverse as all heck.

Wow. This place looks like a convenience store museum. Except that the curator must have a china white heroin addiction and the only employee probably cooks meth behind the counter.
Yeah, they have almost everything a convenience store should have. Except that all of it has been sitting in the «locker» for a minimum of 30 years. Blow the dust off of a can of Green Giant Nibblets Corn (or whatever you might need) and you’re good to go.
As an aside, I’ve seen horrible carnage in the crosswalk in front of the store. Not to be a mom, but be fucking careful if you have to cross the street.

I can’t believe this place is still around… this liquor store has been in business since I was a little girl. possibly longer (and I am super old).
When I was a kid they had a big plastic sign on their roof with a cartoon-​ish image of a pirate standing with one foot up on a treasure chest and their phone number in big, bold block numbers. When I was about 7 years old I realized that I had memorized their phone number from driving by so many times and decided it would be really cool to call them. So, I call, and the only thing I can think to say is, «How late are you open?» and the guy who answered the phone almost died laughing.
Aaaaanyway, they actually have a pretty decent selection of wine… and a lot of porn (no judgment).
