His Nibs Liquor

Things are a bit over priced, but kinda what to expect with most liquors. Even with the large indoor cooling fridge loaded with many premium beers, way too costly.

Yo yo! All my craft beer heads WYA?! This is definitely a spot to check out if you’re in the mood for a not so basic brew.
They keep a nice stock of different styles and breweries. You can definitely get a little lost in the selection. I went in for a sour and it took me a while to decide what I wanted.
The prices seemed reasonable and the dude at the front was nice.
They sell liquor too, if that’s your thing. Check it out!

Review is for the «Craft Beer Cave»:
I was initially attracted by the very impressive selection of craft beers from a «corner liquor store». However, after making purchases twice, I have to say that I will most likely not be returning.
1. The prices here aren’t just a little bit higher than usual, they are often times gouging you. I recently saw a 6-​pack of Oskar Blues IPA here for over $ 14 (normally $ 8.99). A more than 60% markup.
2. Though the selection is somewhat impressive. It doesn’t look like anyone is actively curating it. Typically IPAs are meant to be consumed as fresh as possible, but every time I walk in here, I pick up a bottle and see a large collection of sediment at the bottom of the bottle. Indication that they have been sitting for some time.
3. The temperature is way too cold. Most beers are happiest between 50 – 60 degrees, but it feels like the temperature is set in the 40’s. Not ideal.

Definitely a cool spot that all beer lovers in the area should visit.
The selection is awesome and they carry a lot of limited edition or special release beers… No Pliney though, sadly. I picked up a couple Stone special releases for myself and a few to gift to my fellow beer lovers.
The beer cave area is super cool, literally and figuratively. I spent 10 minutes trying to really peruse everything, and I realized I needed to pick up the pace as I was started to feel my heartbeat slow… Kidding, but it starts to get really cold after a couple minutes.
Customer service is lacking; very cut and dry and to-​the-​point… No «hi,» «did you find what you were looking for,» or «thanks.» Seriously, the only words I heard from an employee were, «your total is $xx.xx.»
I think I’m gonna stick to Total Wine for the prices and selection, but I definitely intend to come back when I’m hunting down some of the rarer beers I can’t find elsewhere.

They have the best craft beer walk in here! Come check it out
They have one of the largest selections around. Youre sure to find something you’re in the mood to drink!

Now I am not a beer snob by any means but I do enjoy the stouts, porters and IPAs just as much as the next man. So when I recently moved to the area and drove by and saw a «Craft Beer Cave» I had to check it out. Now walking in I was a little skeptical, but that changed as soon as I passed through the doors and walked into the icy cold cave.
Very nice selection here, and it is very very well organized. All the beers are with the breweries they come from. I hate how Total Wine does it by beer style and you end up running all over the store looking for stuff. Here its not like that at all. Prices are competitive for what is out there. I have popped in here three times since my frist visit. If you are into good beers check this place out. CHEERS!!!

Ok so this is not your typical liquor store for many reasons. First they share a space with a taco shop. Second they have the biggest selection of booze that I have ever seen in a local corner liquor store.
So what if the prices are a bit high… which they are for some things. I just dont know about all of it, because holy chit the selection is beyond outstanding and they had stuff I hadnt heard of or seen before… awesome awesome stuff =)
For example, have you ever seen clear Jack Daniels? Or «white» as they called it? I sure hadnt. So add that to the the basics of shocking. Then realize that they had a few cases with bottles worth in excess of $ 1k! Talk about some high end top shelf stuff. The only place I have seen more expensive booze to be honest is Costco =X
As this is a liquor/​c-​store, they have a lot of stuff that you see in normal c-​stores also. A candy rack or two, coolers with soft drinks and juices, some pre-​made sammies, and my favorite item in a place like this… a lotto machine.
Heck they even have a wino room. Its a special room filled with bottles of grape juice for those who like that kinda thing. With the size of the room, its obvious that they had all types and styles of wine.
So if your in the neighborhood, its worth stopping in and grabbing what you need. Its a great shop ;)

The guy at the counter= rude!!! We kept asking questions about the prices and it seemed like he didn’t want to answer us. It’s also OVERPRICED! I bought ONE beer and 3 mini shots of which two were 2 for $ 1 and I ended up spending $ 14! Could have bought a $ 12 pack! Still don’t understand how this happened unless he charged me $ 10 for one beer :(

Best Meat Ball sandwiches in the USA Hidden inside a liquor store this guy ROCKS! offers more than just meatball sandwiches. Secret lunch time stop that the working class know about. Bring a friend and lets give him our Business.
Go see Rudy and show his some California Love. He has a passion for making an awesome lunch Next time i will try the Italian Sausage …
Bread is toasted just right. sauce is right on and meatballs are moist, juicy and hot.
Don’t skip the cheese unless you have a cold. The melted cheese is like a Dream.
Rudy speaks Spanish too…

Nice, well stocked liquor store. I’ll be back to try the sandwiches.

His Nibs Liquor, it’s in the name.
The location looks like a run down shopping center which can be less inviting with the competition nearby. There is always plenty of parking and usually a spot in front. The store inside looks like any other privately owned liquor store but with a sandwich counter in the back.
The booz section is awesome. Plenty of beers both domestic and imports including several Belgian and German choices. They recently added a walk in refrigerated craft beer section which is wonderfully stocked. The liquor have several high end buys and novelty bottles but prices are high. The wine selection is mediocre. You can find most of the same elsewhere for much cheaper.
For a craft brew and grabbing a gift on your way this is a great place with a large variety of items to choose from. For bargain hunting I suggest you go elsewhere.

Love this place. Best spot for a last minute quality beer run. Decent selection of delicious beer, and unless they’ve changed within the last few months, the meat ball subs are legit. His Nibs… No doubt.

This business is comprised of two elements one is the liquor store and the other being the Niberino’s Meatballs.
1. The liquor store is not bad and somewhat impressive for the location. They have everything well stocked. They also carry obscure items like Adan and Eva Tequila, and Crystal Skull Tequila, as well as Moet Chandon and Dom Perignon and Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin which really caught my eye!
2. The Niberino’s Meatballs was TERRIBLE! I brought my friend from work and immediately he said «oh no this isn’t good» just by the look of the place. I told him to ignore it and keep an open mind. I had trusted the photos of the cheese oozing from the meatball sandwich. Let me tell you that was FALSE ADVERTISING! We ordered the sandwich and then walked around the liquor store. We then sat down and waited some more. What they were doing I do not know because the quality of the food did not warrant such a wait. Finally it was ready I bit into it and was utterly disappointed! The meatball was salty. The bread was substandard. The sauce was unpalatable. The size of the meatball was reminiscent of those meatballs out of a Chef Boyardee can. I really didn’t want to finish it but i had already spend 13 dollars on two sandwiches and two drinks and I was hungry so I did. Later my friend said, «I’m still hungry… and was winy and crying for more food…» I too was still hungry from the tiny terrible sandwich.

Meatball sandwiches… that’s what it says on the sign outside.
Niberino’s Meatball Sandwiches!
and they’re good… sauce was very tasty. Bread was soft. Quick, simple and delicious lunch.

Oh shoot. My mom owns the flower shop in that little plaza. I have had their meatball subs since i was a youngin. Those subs are special in my heart.
Recently, they changed their recipe or something… The sauce is darker/​black and it just doesnt seem right. Hopefully it will be different the next time i go back.

Wow! Ok, I went Unilocaling for a local mom and pop liquor store because I was getting bored of the Albertson’s and Ralphs up the street from our hotel. Everyone raves about the sandwiches, but I was just looking for some beer for the hubby and some sweet treats for the kids.
I have to say that I struck out on the sweets — just your typical grocery store candy selection and some cheap ice cream truck novelties.
But, the beer? Wow! They have Lost Coast, Bootleggers, Primo, Chimay, St. Peter’s, Youngs, Stone… and that’s just what I can remember off the top of my head!
I also found the fact that they had Pre (prebiotic drinks) pretty impressive. Huge wine selection, but I’ll have to wait until my husband goes in to find out if they have any rare goodies (he knows his wine — me, not so much).
They do also have all your regular cheap beer too, so there is something for everyone :)

Mmmm meatball sandwiches. Toasty, meaty, and saucy.
And there’s alcohol? PLUS!!! Not just regular liquor store fare, either. They have a really good selection of beers. However, if you are used to just PBR and «natty ice», you might just get a little overwhelmed. A little variety will do you good.

His Nibs, which is an awesome name, is as everyone has said, a sandwich and pizza shop inside a liquor store. A sign outside reads «Niberino’s Meaball Sandwiches», and honestly how the hell can you go wrong with a place that specializes in meatball sandwiches?
The answer is, you can’t. It’s weird to walk into a liquor store and see tables and a small ordering counter, but it’s also awesome. It’s like a little easter egg for your life. A reward for craving whiskey, or… whatever. However you need to justify stuffing your face with cheese, marinara, and meat, do it. I don’t judge.
I went and ordered two sandwiches (the 2^nd one was $.99, so why not?) a slice of pepperoni pizza, and a coke. They didn’t have slices. No reason given, just no pie. Whatever, the girl was like 14, and didn’t care that I wasn’t satisfied with her answer. So I grumped to my seat and waited all of perhaps 5 minutes while she cooked my sandwiches.
I ate one there, and it was great. The sauce is right on the border of being too sweet, but it pulls it off. 3 big fat meatballs on a supposedly 8″ roll, which I kinda doubt, but didn’t care. It was great. Ate the second one an hour later and it was lousy. The bread had gotten soggy on the bottom and the sandwich was unmanageble, disintigrating before I could get it to my mouth (where the magic happens), and the texture was wrong.
Upshot — great meatball sandwiches, mediocre service, but what the hell, IT’S A LIQUOR STORE. Just don’t get it to go unless you live 5 minutes away.

I can’t help myself, I love dives and hole-​in-​the-​wall places like this. Past by here lots of times and finally noticed the huge 4’x8’ sign for Meatball Sandwiches about a week ago. So, with a good review from Arnold E. and others I’m definitely gonna check it out.
The «convenience» item area and the liquor store in general are just funny to look at. A real mess. I found it entertaining though.
The Meatball Sub? Delicious! She puts it in the Pizza oven for a few minutes which makes the bread/​cheese hot and crusty.
A guy from the Pastry shop next door came in and ordered a medium pizza. I dunno why but, I get the feeling he’s a regular. Very friendly service.
The BIG sign out front tells you what to order. I kinda think the other stuff would be good too. Try it!

Just off the 57 freeway at the Ball Road exit, you’ll find a small strip mall which houses Jagerhaus, a bakery, a donut shop, and His Nibs Liquor. In addition to booze, they also serve up a pretty tasty meatball sandwich. What?! I can buy alcohol AND a meatball sub all in the same place?! You bet your pickled liver you can!
This is mainly a liquor store, but they’ve somehow MacGyver’d a small sandwich/​pizza factory into the back of the store. It’s a bit strange at first, but somehow it all works together. Anyway, the selection of drinks and the service here has always been pretty good here and the food’s not bad at all (at least the sandwiches I’ve tried). My father-​in-​law (who is a very discriminating meatball man) said that their meatballs were pretty good. If they can pass his test, they’re good enough for me! Oh yeah, the meatball subs are usually offered at a good deal (buy one, get the second for only 99 cents). With our current economic state, I just might need to start stocking up on meatball subs…
