Big Mac’s Liquor

Somebody from this location won $ 1.2 million for powerball saturday night feb 7. Very lucky store:)

My spot!
I go here all the time because it’s so conveniently located to where I live. The staff is right on radical motha shut yo moufs!!!
Cheap beer, 1 $ extra ATM, great booze selection, and for some reason I always seem to win their scratchers when I impulsively decide to buy one. The staff always give me my change in quarters when I need to do my laundry which I think is a sign of the business being chill and trying to help in anyway that they can within the community.

I work a couple of businesses down and the gentlemen are always very friendly and recognize me and aren’t annoyed that I always have my big dog parked in the middle of their doorway. Or at least they keep their annoyance to themselves. People who aren’t bitter about working in a liquor store in their senior years and still treat others with kindness? Makes me :) :) :)

The likka stoh in my hood is the best!
Friendly staff, ATM only charges $ 1, good selection of booze and I always win with their scratch-​offs.
Can’t hate on BIG MAAAAAAAC’s!

If possible I would give this liquor store no stars! I was at this store about 3 months ago during the day to purchase cold medication for one of my elderly neighbors who has a lot of health problems, and a VERY nice Hindu male assisted me by saying that instead of purchasing a whole packet of medication, which was quite expensive, I could buy individual packets and save my neighbor money. I thanked the nice clerk and left very happy to have been encountered such a peaceful soul working in a liquor store. I have lived in Silverlake for decades, and I seldom visit this establishment particularly at night. The place has gone thru a parade of owners and managers throughout the years, but what I encountered today was the WORST experience I have had visiting any business in the area.
I went there again to purchase cold and flu medication for my friend. I selected a NightQuil box intended to be taken to the counter where a heavy set male clerk had been engaged in a lengthy conversation with a male who was not a patron. I was the only one there and they kept loudly babbling in Spanish, so I asked the man outside the counter in English if he was purchasing anything, he NICELY said that he was not a patron and was only talking to his friend and moved to the side. I addressed the heavy set male inside the counter by showing him the box of NightQuil and mentioning my last experience with the nice Hindu clerk in the past. He was not a happy camper, probably because he couldn’t relate to anyone who is nice and because he had to stop the chatter with his friend. I said that I wanted to purchase 2 individually wrapped packets. He did not seem to know what I was talking about. I read the directions on the box and I again told him that I needed 4 tablets. His friend had to assist him and the clerk finally gave me 4 packets. I informed him that I only needed 4 tablets and that each packet had 2 therefore I would only need 2 packets, he seemed more confused than ever! Basic math dude! Like a blow fish he angrily took back the 2 packets back and gave me the total. I was going to use a CC, but he said that he would have to charge me a dollar because the total was less than $ 10.00 Dollars. He went on and on to say that he was running a business! What? You are the owner? He suddenly changed his tune and said that the owner paid him very well! What? This clerk was so inept and he was gloating that he gets pay very well! I said to this amoeba that he has no notion of how to run a business. If he knew he would respect customers and not be rude to them, as they are the ones that pay his supposedly high wages! Stay away from this third world hell hole, unless you are under the influence, need another fix, and you like to be treated like dirt!

BIG MAC, you rock man! I dig your selection of beer. You know what’s up.

Cons: OK, so this is a corner liquor store, so their prices are not the best (though I’ve seen worse.)
Pros: That said, their selection is actually pretty good, and the people behind the counter are friendly. The parking lot is small, but you can usually get a spot (part of the lot is reserved for those parking for 15 minutes max (and you better believe they enforce it since they’re close to Sunset Junction, so I wouldn’t try it, word to the wise…) They’re also pretty good at giving out matches (even if you don’t buy cigs), a dollar’s worth of quarters, that sort of thing.
Bottom line: Good place to go when I am too lazy or tired to go to the supermarket.

i call they pick up i ask if they have beer he says yes and clicks

always have what i need!

Liquor stores are basically all the same: Liquor, chips, lottery tickets, whatever. So, the little things count, and with Big Mac’s, it’s seems like they go out of there way to draw your attention to these little things, and illustrate how annoying they can be if they go the wrong way. To wit: 1) They have prominently displayed an unattractive, impolite «no dogs» sign. I have a nineteen pound cocker spaniel — the employees wouldn’t even let me hold her while I ran in to grab a water. 2) They steadfastly uphold their debit card minimum as though it were law. Everything else about the store is fine (though nothing is outstanding).
So, Big Mac, please consider why you have these rules in the first place, and that it’s your store — you can make all the exceptions you want. They aren’t laws. I walk by everyday — I’m a dog-​walker — and you are losing my business because of these strict policies. Let me hold my well-​behaved little dog while I buy a Red Bull with my debit card, for God’s sake.

Solid neighborhood liquor spot with a 10cent copier and some essential snacks for a decent price as they are on Sunset Blvd.

Big Mac’s has been my neighborhood purveyor of distilled spirits for the past seven years, and I love them. They are really friendly, and the place has a definite neighborhood vibe. When I haven’t been in for a while one of the clerks always jokes that he was wondering what happened to me and hoped I was okay (a huge compliment, I’m sure!).
They have a pretty good wine selection for a liquor store, and some really good deals on larger bottles of liquor, like Jameson. Also, if you tell the clerk what you want and ask what the best deal is they are really helpful.
*Also, cheap ATM ($ 1 fee) and $ 10 minimum of cards.

So much wine for a corner liquor store.

Good wine selection, even though I am kind of convinced that some of their «sale» signs are made up. The other day I saw a bottle of wine that sells at other stores for $ 4.99 regular price on «sale» at Big Mac’s for $ 4.99 with a big «Save $ 4.00!!» sign on it. No way is that bottle of wine $ 9. They do have a lot to choose from though, and plenty of good stuff for under $ 10!
The beer selection is decent I guess. I haven’t really checked out their liquor selection, but between the beer and wine, it’s a pretty solid neighborhood place to get booze! The employees are super friendly as well!

Liar, Liar, Liar!!! I was calling around, to find a liquor store that carried Jules Perchard, orange label triple sec. I called Big Mac’s to inquire. «Oh Yes, we have orange label», he said in his very heavy (whatever) accent. I said you’re sure, Jules Perchard, orange label triple sec??? «Yes, yes, we have». I drive from Studio City to Silver Lake, to Big Mac’s to pick this up. I get there, ask for it, the employee says, «No, we don’t carry that, we have the Hiram Walker». He asked the owner, who says «Yes, Hiram Walker orange label». I have just driven all this way, in traffic, in the heat, to find out that he lied to me. Ask me, how happy I am??? Needless to say, not a happy camper!!! Did he really think… that if he got me in the store, that I would buy whatever!!! Seriously!!! Unbelievable!!! What happened to honesty???

super friendly, always prefer coming here. The ATM in here also charges way less than others.

This is my liquor store. Period.

Big Mac’s is a neighborhood staple for pretty much everything, whether you need that evening emergency jim hat, a bottle of something special to enjoy together before using that jimmy, or some Kleenex and some Gatorade for after you’ve used that jim hat. This is where I go to get my bottle of Coke Zero, the occasional pack of batteries and ponder the wisdom of buying a Hostess Sno Balls pack while waiting to use the most affordable independent ATM machine in all of Los Angeles (just 50 cents). They also have a decent collection of periodicals which are fronted by covers of women in bikinis with ample bumps in the trunk (also enjoyed while waiting in line for the ATM).
I also purchase my Cali and Mega Millions lottery quick picks here. If I win, Sno Balls and a copy of Low Rider for everyone on me!

What would I do without Big Mac’s Liquor? Sniff.
I really like the owner and staff. They are not only nice and helpful but funny.
From the 50 cent ATM to stocking just about any drink that one can imagine. Yep, they rock.

So this is my neighborhood liquor store. I go here so often in fact that around christmas time they gave us shirts.
This is seriously the best liquor store ever. They have a sale section that never changes, and their sales are quite stunning. They even have a decent 5 dollar bottle of vodka for when you needs a drink, but are balling on a budget. The big jug of cutty sark (which I am currently in love with) is permanetly 25 bucks. Yes please. Their atm machine also only charges you 50cents. Seriously if you are coming to visit me stop by their first.
Oh and seriously big ups to their entire staff for being so fucking nice.
