I was denied entrance with a service animal, which is against the law. I have cerebral palsy and use her for stability. The owner was rude for no reason, and refused to let me in. He said "no dogs", to which i replied " shes a service animal", which she clearly had her vest on. He said "no i will not serve you". I told him " That is against the law. He then required me to provide identification for the animal, which i told him is not required, but i would provide as a courtesy. He then refused to serve me because of my "attitude". I walked out, ready to file a complaint with the ADA, and happened to see a police cruiser on the road, so i flagged him down. After the officer checked with his superiors, he agreed to explain the rules to the owner. The owner told the officer he felt " threatened", so thats why he made me leave. The above conversation is all that was said between us, no threats exchanged. The owner is skeevy and discriminatory. The prices are high. He will be rude to you, and make buying anything here unpleasant. Not to mention violating law and just generally being a bad person by not allowing someone with a service dog in his store. Avoid at all costs

I have been frequenting this establishment for the last year even though their selection is limited and it smells. Its local and convenient, so those were things I overlooked when I wanted to make a quick run. Tonight my boyfriend requested a couple pbr tall boys and when I tried to check out the older gentleman that runs the store interrogated me in an accusatory manner asking why I had the PBR and if I was purchasing it for kids. I was shocked at the question, said of course not and he kept pushing the subject, denied me service, and told me not to come back. It occurred to me that every time I have been to the store was when I was dressed up after work or going out, and Ive noticed hes always been very friendly, but tonight I was in sweats and no makeup and he treated me completely differently and looked me up and down like he thought I was trash. Honestly, the experience was eye opening and it internalized how hurtful being judged based on your appearance can be. It was a completely unfair and misguided way to assess me and it felt like the definition of discrimination. I am contacting the BBB.

Ive patronized this store for about ten years, the older gentleman and his wife are lovely people, but the younger man who started working behind the counter about a year ago is a jerk. Hes rude, surly, and basically has no business dealing with the public. I decided this evening, after another incident of rude service to myself and the customer in front of me, that I will simply no longer do business with them. Theres a liquor store on just about every corner; I dont have to put up with rude treatment. In fact, if you live in the area and want to deal with a friendly establishment try G-6 Liquors at 6th & Garrison.

Poor service indeed!!! I dont think the owner realizes that we live in the land of the free. I went in and he discriminated on me based on my appearance and refused me service tonight. There are plenty of options out there. Dont put up with bad service, take your business elsewhere, regardless of the inconvenience.

The store has a very limited selection and the prices are very high. When we wanted to exchange something we had purchased just a few minutes earlier we were refused. The clerk, who was surly and rude snapped at us: "No refunds, no exchanges!: This was our first visit and will definitely be our last.

The owner just refused me service, because I had sunglasses on. I took them off and he said "I better not sell". Good way to lose a customer forever.

Very small beer selection, and the store smells bad. There are plenty of other liquor stores in the area that are better.

Friendly owners. They even gave us a few single bottles of vodka to go.
