Peachtree Package Store

Close this place. Burn it down. Salt the earth so nothing can grow in its stead. Crush the owners and listen to the lamentations of their women. This is the shittiest of shitty shitholes.
These vermin WAY overprice everything and are barey functional morons, wait, they are NON-​functional morons when it comes to customer service. I mean they are absolute fucking retards.
A $ 13 bottle of wine at, well, anyplace else is $ 34.99 here. I buy it all the time, I know what it costs. The better version of it, which is $ 24 at every other store on the planet is also $ 34.99 here. The other version by the same maker is $ 17 at all of the places that aren’t assholes, but here it’s also $ 34.99. So how the fuck does that make sense? It’s like they just blindly decided that every bottle from this particular wine maker is $ 34.99.
And if you’ve already had two glasses and make the mistake of coming in here, buying a couple of bottles, NOT looking at the price (it’s $ 34.99, by the way), and then come back once you realize the shafting they just gave you to say, «Pardon me, but that’s an excessive markup on wine that I know isn’t really that expensive,» they’ll just tell you to pound sand, because that’s what assholes do.
Hate.

Fantastically located at the base of the condos we stayed at during Dragon*Con.
And much like the Tardis… it’s bigger on the inside.
For the perceived size of the store and it’s location, the selection and variety of options is fantastic. The prices are shocking to the system but I’m not sure what else I should have expected for a downtown liquor store.
The store is crowded, like many small liquor stores I have been to in many places.
It’s very… dingy. And we saw a roach.
But I didn’t have to walk even half a block to get to here. And all I really needed was some mixers.

Peachtree Liquor Store is in the corner of the Peachtree Towers building, at Peachtree and Baker in downtown. Years and years ago, this was not the best part of town. Someone unkind would have called it ‘ghetto’. And they’d call this a ‘ghetto liquor store’. I get the impression (from the oversize singles of beer and the plethora of those airplane-​size bottles of the hard stuff) that this places caters to people that, uhhh, ask for spare change. But it’s not for me to judge.
I’ve popped in here in emergencies such as being on a MARTA pub crawl with train stops lasting 20 minutes or to grab a last-​minute bottle of vodka to take to a party I was already late to.
This is not a liquor store you’d choose if you have the means and/​or time to go somewhere else. (Or health insurance that covers rehab.) It’s very dusty, ridiculously overpriced, and huge stacks of boxes narrow the aisles so much that they verge on being a violaton of the fire code and/​or ADA regulations.
Some sample prices as of this evening*:
Yellowtail chardonnay for $ 19.99
Sutter Home chenin blanc for $ 16.99
4-​packs of wine were $ 16.99 except those that were $ 22.99
Jaegermeister 750ml botle for $ 39.99
I didn’t price beer because I don’t know what’s normal for that. But anyplace selling Yellowtail for $ 20 needs to pass out crack pipes.
