**the jist** - Small selection, unknowledgeable staff, racist on several occasions, more expensive than several local stores, also keeps beer on shelves past "good before" date. Now, the review of Holiday Wine & Spirits Chamblee GA. I frequently visited this bottle shop for a large number of purchases. I always had a nice time while in the store, up until this evening. I was checking out, paying with my debit card as always and noticed that they were charging me for credit prices, which are substantially higher than cash/debit purchases. When I asked the so called "manager" about the issue, he told me I should take my business somewhere else if I didnt agree with it. I knew the old man speaking was indeed NOT a manager, so I just opted to go ahead and make the purchase, then contact the real store manager via telephone. When I called the store, I asked for the manager, and a young man whom Ive spoken with in person before answered the phone. I told him about the issue, and he seemed to care less about what had happened. I notified him that every single bottle shop in Atlanta whom does the cash/credit pricing always accepted debit transactions as cash, as this same store has done for me for the last five months of shopping there. **This is where is goes REALLY south** When I notified the "manager" that I was on several review websites, as well as BeerAdvocate and RateBeer, and would write a review about my experience in the store, he proceeded to scream into the phone, "SUCK MY D***, SUCK MY D***, SUCK MY D***!" He shouted this over and over for almost three minutes strait, and then broke off into screaming "You must be a f**king meth head" and, "I want you to drive down here and suck my f**king d**k in the parking lot". This managers name is Grady Lucky Jr. He apparently only got his job because he works with "daddy" Grady Lucky Sr. Bottom line, I will NEVER spend my money at this store again, under any circumstances! I have read several other reviews about this stores racial hatred, and bigotry used against people of ethnic background (I am caucasian btw) and I refuse to support any business using those practices. Do yourself a favor, and drive the extra three minutes to TOWERs wine & spirits. They have a much better selection, more knowledgeable staff which isnt racist, and honors the cash/debit purchases like these businesses are supposed to. Id give Holiday bottle shop a ZERO out of 5 stars if possible. Stay away from this store, and spend your money with people whom truly appreciate it.

Miserable, lonely crooks. I asked about a 375 ml bottle of relatively low-end whiskey, and the younger guy told me it was $3,000. He then proceeded to lecture me about economics, describe me as a yuppie, and mock me for "not being able to afford it." When I pointed out that the bottle was worth far less than that amount, the old guy accused me of being "anti-capitalist," which felt like a threat. The younger guy then told me about how he illegally buys and sells liquor outside of the context of the store, a practice that Ill most certainly be reporting. These are bad people who knowingly price gouge, and gleefully brag about it to anyone who so much as asks for a price. They should be put out of business.

NORMALLY WE’D PASS OVER this standalone, liquor store because the outside doesn’t attract much attention. At least the INSIDE IS DECENTLY CLEAN AND ORGANIZED. Unfortunately, the employees inside each need a few people skills. Despite us being well-dressed and in our late-20s (unassuming) ONE LADY KEPT TRAILING US talking on and on and on trying to sell product we weren’t too interested in. The manager (I think) COMPLAINED LOUDLY OF HIS DISAPPROVAL of Georgia’s alcohol laws and the battle between him and local breweries. PRICES WERE STILL A TAD HIGHER than the big-box alcohol stores especially when it came to local Beer. This place was okay for the convenience but next time we won’t bother.

Very rude "service". Felt like my boyfriend and I were being watched the whole time. Im guessing it was because were young. Cant say because were black because there was another black man that they helped perfectly fine. Older man who worked there tossed my boyfriends ID on the counter and said "that aint no drivers license" Obviously! Its an ID that states he is 21 years of age. I told him I didnt like how he tossed it on the counter so we can take out business elsewhere. Id give them 0 stars if I could!

Was spending 400.00 a month at this establishment for over 10 years. The prices were much higher than Tower down the street, but this place was more convenient. Went in one night and they were out of what I wanted. The Owners Son who always had an attitude told me to get out. I did and have never been back. I must not be the only one, they changed there hours and the parking lot is always empty.

Nice staff, fair prices. The occasional gem found in the beer section. All the standards in the liquor section. Small wine selection.
