definitiely felt a buzz afterwards.
drips:
–private parking lot for easy in and out shopping.
–friendly checkout.

Parking isn’t that great. A little cramped but it’s manageable because this convenience store is usually fully stocked. Plenty of alcoholic varieties and the large fridge space allows for lots of cold drinks. I don’t play lotto but they seems to have a «lotto» people going in for that. See what I did there? :)

Good price and selection on beer and wine. They could improve their food offerings.

I was looking for the Ruthless Rye by Sierra Nevada. Costco has a case of it but I didn’t want to commit until I tasted it. Walking by Pic N Pac after a wonderful dinner at Elevation 66, we popped in and bought a 6-​pack of Ruthless Rye to try at home. SCORE!

I really only come here for lottery tickets and the occasional bottle of water on my way to and from BART.
Owners are friendly. Place is not cramped like some places. Compared to the 3 – 4 other liquor stores within the same area in the Albany side of San Pablo, this place feels bigger.
There are some liquor stores where there is a «this place must be held up a lot» vibe. I don’t get that here. Not to say there is no crime here. I just feel safe coming here.

Yes, and the Indians that own the place are RACIST. Especially, against blacks. I experienced it first hand. Well, I guess most people are racist against blacks, that probably isn’t something new. The white people seem to have a good time going there though. And if you complain, the will just call the police and we all know what the police will do. They will comply with the business. I think the business is connected somehow. Because everytime I tried to complain, specifically about a certain employee, they would say that they do not give a fuck if you complain and it will not hurt them. And the person whom said that was the one I complained about.
Well, hopefully every dog will have their day. I will never step foot in the place again. And the same person owns another liquor store down the road, on the same street, which is Atlas liquors.
I hope you all continue to go there and have a great experience.
Happy drinking!!!

Pic N Pac is your average at best liquor store. The store is located on the corner of San Pablo Ave. and Fairmount by the El Cerrito Plaza. They have a small and private parking lot for customers for quick store access.
The store itself looks pretty aged and needs some minor updating. As for the liquor, they have plenty. The beer is located in the back, chilled and ready to go. The wine and spirits are located in the aisles with the employees watching your every move. The smaller sized bottles (half pints and pints) are located behind the register. Food items, snacks, candy, and other items are stocked as well. Furthermore, they stock adult magazines and DVDs because everyone needs porn and booze. A $ 5 minimum for payment with debit or credit.

This is my #1 favorite liquor store since I turned 21. The owners have changed a few times and its actually got better throughout the years. Very good prices and a very good selection.
–Their HARD ALCOHOL selection spans one wall behind the counter and another long accessible wall.
–Their BEER selection is good enough so that I don’t have to make an extra stop — they have a good amount of private brewery beers.
–Their WINE selection has greatly expanded and is most good!
–Excellent selection on non-​alcoholic beverages
–Everything is ALWAYS well stocked.
–Yes, they do have a porn corrale if you’re into that.
–Clerks are kind and will remember your face.
Overall great selection, good prices, good atmosphere, and my favorite neighborhood liquor store.

It’s a pretty impressive selection actually. A beer case runs the length of one wall and includes a section for chilled wines. Speaking of which, there’s a fairly sizable wine selection. The liquor selection is fairly extensive, well-​priced, and ranges up in quality to a few medium-​high options. (If you’re seeking $ 100+ bottles though, you’ll have to go elsewhere.) The central area is stocked with standard convenience store fare, so you can grab mixers, snacks, and even most staples and sundries if you need them. The small booth of skin mags was a bit incongruous, if not unexpected, and the collection of mini-​bar bottles was impressive, particularly if you’re interested in trying different brands.

Lol why is that dude talking about «pr0n».
Anyways. This place really is a HIDDEN GEM. Looks typical, looks grimey from the outside buuut…
THE PRICES ON THEIR PRODUCTS, esp. their alcohol, is CHEAP.
They have an 18 bottle pack of miller lite for 7 – 8 dollars. They have a wide selection. And the dudes that work there are chill.
GO HERE, NOT BEV. MO.

They have a pr0n section. It is adorable. One person at a time can enter the swinging wooden doors (ala a Old West bar) and peruse shelves of mags in 3 cardinal directions. They ask that you keep it to 10 minutes tops. I find it disturbing that your torso is shielded from view, but not your head. Someone could start spanking it, and considering half the customers are drunk already, I’m sure it’s happened.
They also carry random crap like little torches, but not the blatant paraphernalia that you see in an Oakland Kwik-​E-​Mart.
Billions of little sized bottles of booze (who buys that crap except teenagers?). They sell Olde English 40s. 5 stars just for that.
