False hours, arrived well before 2a and they were closed without a soul in sight. Thanks for the drive!

Having been here a few times now, I can attest to the solid craft beer selection and the rated 18+ materials readily available in this liquor store. Granted it’s weird to me that they have a 18+ section when they’re in a plaza that already has two dedicated stores … but I guess I am not here to judge on anything they sell other than great beer.
For the most part the prices are fair, they’re not amazingly cheap but once in a while you will find some good deals. What they do have is a rare selection of some beers that you will be hard pressed to find at most BevMos let along any other liquor store. Their selection of the Eclipse beer series, for example, is astonishing.
It will, of course, set you back $ 40 a bottle at times but it’s so worth it!
Highly recommended for a craft beer lover in this area!

Huge selection emphasizing local beers makes Bobby’s Liquor a great choice for beer culture aficionados.
The barkeep at Strike Brewing Co directed me towards Bobby’s Liquor to find some great local sours. Sure enough, they carried 10 or so Almanac selections, a local brewery known for its sour brews.
The lady behind the counter (owner?) was very helpful. She directed me towards the Almanac section. For such a small store, Bobby’s is packed full of inventory. I only travel to San Jose for business, and after visiting two taprooms this week wanted to bring home a local sour since it’s the favorite of my +1. Bobby’s hooked me up!

Hole in the wall place. But has both bottles and kegs of craft beer. Cashier let’s you do a keg walk through the walk in… usually a bit different selection than one would find at Bev Mo. Pricey though… but hey you’re already drinkin’ craft beer so expect to pay more. Beware the middle aisle with the «one one under 18» sign. Packed with porn! Not that I would know.

5 stars simply because they stock AleSmith Speedway Stout! Not only did they have the standard version, but also a special release from 2012 brewed with Ryan Bros coffee beans. The owner/​worker Jessie was helpful. She wrote down my request for Ten FIDY and even the AleSmith Speedway Stout Vietnamese Coffee special release. I’ll be (er) back.

This place is a total rip off. I asked why all their liquor was marked up and I was scolded by the cashier about how I have no knowledge of how expensive an apartment costs to rent in Santa Clara let alone the cost to lease her liquor store because I’m from Orange County. Listen, rude lady, I grew up in the Bay Area and understand how expensive it is to live there but that does not justify your insane markup on liquor! I drove about 3 miles and found a bottle of hennesey vsop for $ 13 less. And yes, the liquor store was also located in Santa Clara!
Her price: $ 76.99
Other liquor store: $ 63.99

Love this place. Hiding in the back of what looks like a random little liquor store is a stellar beer selection. I always make a stop here on every trip into San Jose to stash some local beers into my hotel room fridge. No fridge? No problem, I still stop by; that’s what the bathroom sink and ice machine are for :) They always have a ton of big IPAs from Knee Deep, plenty of Russian River, and even stuff from my hometown Chicago.
And for the recent 1 star review regarding Pliny the Elder, it’s because you are just cold-​calling bottle shops looking for one beer. Last time I was there, checking out with a handful of bottles off the shelf, they asked me if I wanted them to grab a bottle me a Pliny from the back. Frequent a bottle shop and they’ll sell it to you, as they are saving that stuff for their good customers. Any good bottle shop does this.

Thanks for lying to me! Spoke to a young man on the phone. I inquired about Pliny the Elder as I know they get one shipment a month. I called early on in the day and he said they already ran out. However, my colleague ran later that evening and was able to buy a bottle.
I don’t appreciate being lied to whatsoever. Will take my business elsewhere. You aren’t the only ones who sell beer in the bay area.

What a hidden gem. Walked in thinking this could be sketchy. walked out with over $ 100 worth of liquor and craft beer. In my current profession as a bartender it makes me so happy to see craft beer and spirits on the rise in way more obtainable locations. Great bourbon and whiskey selection. Few things I haven’t even seen before ! Lets not forget the adorable husband and wife duo so proud that their son helps and hand picks everything!

All the beers taste weird from here. Buyer beware. We have not had much luck with this place and have tried several different beers a few different times. It’s too bad because they have such a nice selection. We won’t be going back.
I’ve never received good service here either. Just glared at by a lady until I make my purchase and leave. I never feel welcome or comfortable here.

I love this place they have tons of great micro brews, I specially love fresh squeeze IPA delicious, however I took a star because they say the open until 1 am today Thursday 4⁄24 and they are close, it’s on my way home from work and today was the second time that I checked and they are close. Other than that I love this place because you will find almost any brew you like from lager to IPA’s to Stout’s. Give it a try.

What a hidden gem!
If you don’t feel going into BevMo or Wholefoods, Bobby’s is a great little surprise if you love craft beers.
They have an ample selection of products ranging from niche (meads) to the mainstream (Heini).

First of all, if you are looking for a wide selection for hard to find beers and beers which are no longer generally available or hard to find (I.e. year or older such as SN 30th Anniversary and North Coast Barrel Aged Old Rasputin), this is the place. I haven’t bumped into Dee, but they have always been friendly as far as service.
I still go to BevMo for beers from Stone, BallastPoint, etc. which are more readily available and will tend to be $ 1 – 2 per bomber cheaper. Still, when I’m in the area, I stop by Bobby’s to pickup something to support them. If you are into craft beer, you do have to check this place out…

This place made me actually create a Unilocal account to write a review.
Amazing little bottle shop. Great selection of Belgian brews — sours, lambics, etc. library selections of imperial stouts and other big beers. Friendly staff more than happy to offer help or just leave you to browse for as long as you want.
Look high and low, in the cold cases and on the shelves. There are hidden gems all over the place.

Bobby’s Liquor is an unassuming little bottle shop from the outside. On the inside, it is craft beer nirvana. I have seen things here that I’ve never seen before, as well as a few limited release selections I thought I’d never see again. Be careful, though. Like a kid in a candy store, it’s easy to spend more than you planned on.
Oh, they have an abundant selection of porn too, if that is your thing. ;)

After years of hearing about Bobby’s Liqour I finally stepped foot in. First impression was just another small liquor store. But being a beer geek I struck gold once I saw his collection of beer in the back corner.
By far Dee has the best selection of craft and hard to come by imported beers in the south bay. I was please to find some FiftyFifty eclipse 20 yr barrel aged stout yum! And many other things I usually can’t find else where. This is coming from someone who does the beer buying for Whole Foods.
Dee has great product knowledge and obviously has a passion for beer, the service is great but I’m sure this place can get packed being in a small location. Either way I will now become a regular at this spot.

Bum review, strictly for my residentially challenged brethren & sistren. For the vets among you, thank you for your past service in protecting our country.
Wines that we saw at this store:
+ Thunderbird T.C.
+ Night Train Express
+ Cisco (all flavors except «Red»)
+ MD 20⁄20
— NO regular Thunderbird
40s that we saw at this store:
+ Hurricane High Gravity
+ St. Ides
+ Cobra
+ Olde English 800
+ Mickey’s
— NO Colt 45
— NO Country Club
— NO Laser (as if)
Drawback: NO out-​the-​door stickers — the costs of the above beverages require and /​or result in small coin change.
Scenic: Next door are two late-​night restaurants and two porn shops if you’ve collected enough change to sate your hunger for food and… other stuff.
I again wish to thank our country’s servicemen and servicewomen past, present, and future.
