Liquor Store profile

Aggie Liquor is owned by the same family as Mace Market. Aggie Liquor has one of the best selections of booze in Davis. They are possibly only beaten by Valley Wine Company or Nugget. Aggie Liquor also as a sizable selection of Forties.

They sell kegs and all kinds of booze. They had a run in with the law over a fake ID in 2004 so they have no mercy for underage people trying to slip one past 'em.

A keg of bud lite will cost you $79+tax.

If you're a super baller, Aggie has the 750 ml bottle of Louie the XIII by Remy Martin for ONLY $1,500, but if you know the boss or super boss, they will give it to you for a rack [$1000] out the door.

Aggie is one of the few places that stock the limited spring release of Stone Russian Imperial Stout, made by Stone brewery, the same people who make arogant bastard ale. Stone brew is based in San Diego, and the SRIS is 11.9 % alky by volume, this is a beer you chew, not drink! It's probably the most expensive beer in Davis, 6 bucks a bottle, but the bottle is 23.5 ounces or sumat. A case should run you around 60 bucks, and the SRIS only comes out once a year in springtime. —StevenDaubert

2005-03-24 15:53:08   It appears Aggie Liquor has plans to expand into the space next door! Yet another case of hard-working immigrants triumphing over lazy American whiners. No ETA. —AlphaDog

2005-03-24 21:03:12   Hey man, that's kind of racist or nationalist or something. —KenjiYamada

• Isn't the place next door some sort of Democratic organization? :P —PhilipNeustrom
  

2005-03-24 22:14:30   The dems rent out the empty space during election times. The rest of the time it is usually vacant —JimSchwab

2005-03-26 00:15:16   The liquor permit request posted on the door has Aggie Liquor posted as the permit applicant, so I'm guessing the Dems are going to be looking for a different space next time around. They actually requested the permit for two addresses. And, yes, my original comment was rather, uh, Anti-American, but the climate seems to have been swinging in the direction of divide and conquer of late, so I thought I'd give in to the sentiment of the times. My mistake.... poor judgement. —AlphaDog

2005-11-17 11:42:08   if you are a regular, they will special order hard to find brands/items for you. —MyaBrn

2006-11-01 20:50:13   the bosses at aggie and the owner [super boss] are savage people —StevenDaubert

2006-11-28 23:40:36   What the Aggie loses in class it gains in assortment. Its beer offerings are pretty impressive, and the owner is willing to carry some special selection, if you lobby for it. —ZN

2007-01-27 22:53:26   yesterday i had a raging clue point me to this liquor store :O) —EmilyTung

2007-05-22 17:30:44   I returned a keg and pump the day after i rented it, but the attendant just told me to leave it and mutherfuckin aggie liquor charged me 85$!!!!! I figured he'd remembered me from the night before. he had a long line... i should have waited to get my receipt.

superboss called me, saying i never returned his keg, but after telling him i'd never rip off a store like that and swearing i returned his stuff, he said he wouldn't charge me. i thought everything was cool. two months later, that rat bastard charged me!!!!! he stole a months worth of food money from a poor student - jacked up aint it.

fuck aggie liquor - I'm never stepping foot inside there again. —Sergio

2007-05-23 14:24:08   Wow- so much negativity! I have never had a problem and the owners have never been anything but nice and friendly to my husband and I. —MyaBrn

2007-10-14 03:36:49   I'm kind of surprised by the negativity of the comments on this page as well. I make a point to always check Aggie Liquor instead of 7-eleven, even for snacks. The dudes in Aggie Liquor are always WAY less paranoid about you ripping them off and way mellower. There are no overly bright florescent lights and they have a good choice of beer for a quick pick-up. I've been going to this place since they used to make decent deli sandwiches for 2.50 (they had a whole food counter way back when) and never had a problem. I've also had friends come from San Francisco and been suprised by the choice of liquor. And when researching kegs in the Sac area they had the cheapest around. Overall I'd say they are a good independent business. —JeffShaw

2007-12-03 17:43:41   I just stopped in there to buy a airzona iced tea, which is 99 cents; The total ended up to be 1.15. I asked what the reason was for the high total and the response was "tax". I dont remember our sales tax jumping to 16 percent and i dont think there are any crv costs for the can. All i can say is watch your totals to see if your getting anything extra tacked on. —GregFurnish

• According to the California Department of Conservation, CRV should be collected on certain beverage cans and bottles (including "tea and coffee drinks") at a rate of 5 cents on containers less than 24oz and 10 cents on those 24oz and larger. For a complete list of products on which CRV is collected see the state website. Perhaps this explains the price discrepancy? —RyanCoates
  

2007-12-04 13:14:42   The beverage label reads 23.5 ounces, so the total should come out to 1.12 (judging from a 8% sales tax 1.07 + 5 cents CRV) and not 1.15. Maybe 3 cents isnt worth bitching about, but there is something shady going on. —GregFurnish

2008-02-09 22:19:50   This place is really bad. I bought 2 kegs there, which were 59.99 each. The deposit was 240$ total, which is really high. Also, the guy at the register tacked on an additional 16$ for a "Tap Cleaning Fee." I didn't protest because he had already put it in the register and there were a bunch of people waiting. Next, we tried to buy ice. He said they were 4$ each, because he was giving us a discount. When we grabbed 2 bags, the guy changes the price to 10$. We called him on it and the cashier just says "you got me there." Bottom line, these people are only concerned about profits. That's not how you do good business, and I'm never going back. —IanBenton

• I'd have to agree that prices are high here. Arrogant Bastard six-packs are two-dollars more than at the Co-op, for example. I mentioned the price difference to the cashier, and he said with a sarcastic smirk, "two dollars, eh?" He couldn't care less. They need more competitive pricing, that's for sure. They lose customers in the long run by encouraging distrust. —ZN
  

2008-12-13 20:21:42   Hey guys come check out all the specials at aggie liquor. They have mickeys girls come in every friday from 6 to 8 and a lot of other promotions. I cant believe all the negative things being said, i know for a fact these guys are not like that and when it comes to customer service and price they are the best in the business. They have a lot of different kegs from low to high from natural light to Bud to expensive stuff like Maredsous. The boss and the superboss are really coo. they also have a different assortment of liquor and they added a new wine room with a bottle of rollie fingers special edition wined hand autographed by himself. —mannymg
