Kings Liquor and JR. Market

Close to Disneyland. Close to my hotel. Quick place rating. Sort of like a typical liquor store, but with a surprising few gems, like Bottle Logic Scatter Signal for $30. A few locals. A few single cans. A decent place to drop by if you are a desperate Norwegian trying to maximize ratings, or a geek trying to get a better place rating, Otherwise avoid.

Just a few blocks from Disneyland, so I guess at least it’s not in the middle of nowhere. Kind of a shady looking liquor store, but whatever. Parking is pretty limited.

Beer selection here is good. They have all of the typical local offerings from the Bruery, Bootleggers, Stone, Smog City, Monkish, etc. Some stuff that I had not seen before like a few special releases from Surf and some stuff from Craft Artisan Ales. Lots of San Diego beers in the mix as well. Not the hugest selection overall, though. Just about everything is kept in coolers.

Prices were pretty fair for the most part, but a couple things seemed a little high. Mostly the special release bottles. I wouldn’t come out of my way to visit, but it’s a good shop if you’re in the area.

Lots of locals. Overall good selection. Staff was friendly and helpful. Good source near Disneyland.
