A great place for all kinds of imbibers. You want it, they got it, even if you aren't sure what it is. Last week they helped me find an authentic Greek wine for a last-minute invitation to a dinner with 30 Greek guests--our selection was the first picked by everyone! Today I went in with a vague recipe for Tahitian rum punch for 150 and got suggestions that I felt were just right. After that it was off to a wine tasting where they just happened to be smoking fresh fish, lamb, and abalone along with offering some great wines. Too bad I don't know enough to work here, but it's a great place to visit. If you're in a hurry for something specific, let them know the food or event and price range and put yourself in their hands; otherwise plan an hour or two to browse.

Came here on the recommendation of a friend who knows I am a collector of fine beers and was pleasantly surprised by the selection available, and the way in which the beer was displayed/stored. Came away with a nice variety of beers, including Gouden Carolus Hops, Coopers Sparkling Ale, Bear Republic's Tribute Brown, St Ambrose Oatmeal Stout (from Montreal), and Full Sail 21 Dopplebock. The selection was good, the beer was well stored and the staff was quite friendly. I will definitely be back, armed with a list of "hard to find" beers in hand! Pros: Dedicated "Beer Cellar" Cons: Hard to navigate the tight space with a grocery cart

By far the best liquor store in Orange County! Best selection of wine, beer, hard liquor and cigars; great prices, wine and beer tastings, and super friendly staff. And if they don't carry it, they'll be happy to see if they can find it and order it for you (at a price). Simply the best!

Hi-Time is perhaps the best liquor store I've ever been in. They have a staggering selection of beer, wine and hard alcohol. The building is somewhat unassuming from the outside, but it has a basement stocked with thousands of bottles of wine and the main floor features a huge selection of liquors. The prices are very reasonable--some bottles are quite expensive, of course, but those are great wines. If you are looking for bargains, there are plenty of those as well.

This is hands down the best wine and alcohol specialty store in Newport Beach!! They have all the highest quality and rarest selections you have been trying to find. The prices are reasonable and there isn't anything you couldn't find there. The staff is an incredible and their knowledge base is as big as the store's selection. I recommend this store to anyone looking for something very particular or anyone that is looking for a suggestion of something to try. You won't be disappointed.

This is a very nice wine shop, and they carry quite a few limited-production and hard-to-find wines. They have a great staff, and they're happy to answer questions. They also carry other liquors. They will ship wine to you, and their prices are competitive.

This place has just about every liquor, wine, and beer that's ever been produced. Well, that's not totally true, but they have such an extensive collection of drinks--from the cheapest store-brand vodka to giant bottles of Dom Perignon--that it's hard to imagine otherwise. The prices cannot be beat, and there are always specials and sales going on all the time. This is a great place to pick up a 21st birthday present that will not be forgotten!
