Sunset Corners Wines & Liquors

The best craft beer selection in south Florida. Johnny is amazing and really hooked me up for my trip back home to Chicago. I will come here every year when I am in town. Must stop for your craft beer fix. So happy I stopped by here.

They might have a good selection of craft beer, but they have terrible prices compared to any other craft beer retailer. Everything I wanted was $ 3 — $ 4 higher than Total Wine, ABC or Whole Foods. Also, might want to check the canned or bottled date on the beers you select because most of the beers I wanted (IPAs) were 2 – 3 months old. I’ll take my money somewhere else and get fresher beer at a better price.

This place gets bigger and bigger as you walk through. They have a huge selection of everything you could possibly want.
We were super impressed by the cheese/​meat guy. He was very nice and even offered to slice our hard salami purchase. That was incredibly helpful because I probably could not cut it myself with a knife.
Great place to explore.

If you really like beer, supermarkets are not going to cut it for you. If you have evolved to the point where you almost never buy a six pack (of the same beer) and would rather pick up a bomber of beer (22oz), Sunset Corners is the place for you.
I first came here after a friend of mine requested a specific beer for a party. Unluckily, I didn’t find it. But I picked up another much better brew, and that one beer made me the top dog at a beer tasting. Who would have thought? Yes, I am a lucky guy.
After that experience, I have been asked to take beer, on occasion. I kept going to Sunset Corners and I kept scoring. And the point is… Sunset Corners has some pretty good beer.
Moving forward a few years, I have visited this place countless times. Incidentally, I have never been to the wine cellar. I cross it on the way to the restroom (tiny and filthy), but I have never stopped to look for any wines. I solely go to Sunset Corners for the beer. And basically, this is what I am trying to share here, my beer experience.
Some of the beers at Sunset Corners are not found at other places. Some Bruery beers are unique to this shop. Same for some Jolly Pumpkin, Italian beers, and lots of Belgian beers. If you are looking for a top beer, or something rare or exotic, you will find something here, most likely.
Besides all these exotic bombers, you’ll find your usual Florida beers, and lots of German beers. This place has a cooler in the back with lots of imports as well.
Also, I sometimes check out the liquor section. I have been able to snag a couple of deeply discounted rums here. Top of the line stuff, priced really cheap. You got to keep an eye out.
If there is something that needs improvement here, besides the bathroom remodel, it’s maybe the attitude of the people behind the registers. Sometimes they look at you with a distrustful eye, as if you were spying for another liquor store. Sometimes they come out and ask you if you need help, but in a confrontational manner. I advise you not to be afraid or intimidated, just tell them that you need time to pick… and that you decline their assistance. It’s all good, because at other times, they are super happy to see you and they will even joke with you. Just catalog them under «a little unwell», get your beer and get the hell out of that place.
For good beer, and bit of attitude, and stuff you won’t find at other liquor stores, hit Sunset Corners. Most prices are very competitive and lower than the big wine retailer (if you know what I mean), and you will be taking some top of the line stuff. Who knows, maybe they will make you «a lucky guy» too…

What in the world has happened to Sunset Corners? Was shocked to walk in the store last week to find it looking completely run down. The carpeting is worn thin, horribly stained and seemingly not vacuumed in weeks. Yuck.
Four staff at the check out, two behind the counter and two leaning on the counter. Everyone turned to see me and my husband walk in but not one acknowledged our presence or asked to help us. There was no one else in the store. After staring us up and down they went back to their obviously very important conversation. Nice welcome.
Our next surprise was the lack of inventory. The cheese and caviar counter had a few measly selections of cheese but most of the display case was empty. No more caviar. The wine racks were half full.
As I was walking out (without purchasing anything,) I asked if the store was under new management. One of the four around the counter proudly told me «nope, same owners for over 30 years!» Frankly, that fact is no longer anything to be proud of.
What a shame, Sunset Corners used to be one of the premium liquor stores in Miami-​Dade county. It’s now a dirty, depressing shell of its former glory.

This place has everything you could want and need. The staff is very knowledgeable, I’m not saying they’re wine sommeliers, but they can answer plenty of your questions, and humorously I might add. We came in for some beer, and we ended up more confused about our choices than when we started. We knew what we wanted, we just had a really great salesman who knew what we liked just as much as we did, so he have us a plethora of suggestions. I don’t go to too many wine shops or liquor stores, because back at home it’s a one stop shop for me, but I will definitely be back to pick up some take home wine and beer presents for friends and family.

I have been to sunset corners enough that employees actually recognize me not sure if that’s a good or bad thing but I’ll take it as good. They have an amazing variety of wine and cheese, seems like every time I go I want to buy it all. I love going to the wine tastings on saturday’s since they actually know what is it that they are serving you. I also like that they conveniently have coolers with wines, champagnes, and even sake because in all honesty who really wants to wait for a bottle to chill. I will admit that it is a bit pricy but well worth it. I would recommend sunset corners to anybody thats looking for a liquor store in that area.

This review is based solely on me buying beers from here. While they have a great selection of craft beers, their stuff is expired! My latest purchase was expired by nearly two years! They had a bottle of Lagunitas’ WTF which is seasonal and distributed in February, so the bottle had been sitting there for over ten months. Not cool and a really shitty thing to do to the breweries

This is a great place. Great variety of beers and wine with the added benefit of a cheese shop. And free tastings of many an appetizing items! They have free wine tastings on Saturdays = yes!

Thankfully, this place is right around the corner from my house. It is my go to spot whenever I need an alcoholic beverage. Its well stocked with beers, especially craft and microbrews. They also have a great selection of wine (if they dont have something you are looking for they will order it for you). Prices are on point and the staff is very friendly.
I love that they do free tastings on saturday, and actually teach you about what you are trying.
Lastly I love that they sell cheese and bread, cuz I’m fat like that.
PS. you can get their baguette raw and bake it at home so it is nice and warm. just FYI

The pros: The selection, the selection, the selection.
They can thank whomever finds and stocks them with unique fine wines and cheeses. Hands-​down fantastic selection. For example, they carry a Brillat Savarin papaya cheese, which tastes like cheesecake, that I haven’t seen anywhere and is sure to give you a foodgasm. Some of their cheeses sell out fast so I suggest calling ahead first.
Now, the cons: The surface parking lot is a tight squeeze and shared by other businesses. Not too much of a biggie, but an inconvenience nonetheless. Ok, so I walked-​in and not one of the three people at the register acknowledged me (anomaly or commonplace?). No matter, I greeted them and made a mental note of my impression as I walked around inside.
If you don’t want to drive to the location but know what you want, then you can place your order online. Otherwise, the cons of visiting are bearable enough to check-​out their fine selections personally.

This first and foremost is a wine and spirits store. But its clear star is undeniably the absolute best selection of fine craft ales Miami has to offer! And the new remodeling of the beer section the last couple years turned its already awesome selection into a more organized awesome selection! Its sectioned off in categories from Belgian Ales to American Crafts, to everything inbetween. Your best chance of finding that awesome beer you had on vacation In (insert city here) is right here friends, and the prices aren’t too bad. Just ask for John if you need a little beer education 101 and he’ll likely steer you in the right direction. I just wish I lived a little closer, although my liver is probably glad I don’t anymore!

This is my favorite liquor store in all of Miami. I’ve been coming here for several years now and I’ve always had nothing but good experiences. Even now that I live much farther away, I still frequent this place because of their pricing and selection. The staff has great knowledge of craft beer and wine and are always asking if I need assistance. They also frequently have champagne and wine tastings at a great price point. You can try some really incredible champagnes during these events. They also apply the price you pay for the tasting to any of the bottles that you may want to purchase.
The only negative about this place is the hours of operation. I wish they were open a little later. I believe that they are also closed on Sundays.

After several visits I can say yes I am a fan of this establishment. Wish it was a tad closer to my neighborhood but it’s worth the drive. This store has been here for something like 60 years so I have been told. Nothing fancy about it, just good prices, good selection, and good service.
The staff members are super friendly, not pushy at all, and very helpful. The beer selection is great with so much to choose from. The wine selection is good as well. I like how they separate by varietal and region making it fairly easy to find what you are looking for. They offer some great value wines as well as boutique wines. The Italian wine selection was the only thing I was not very impressed with. I thought it was small and not a good mix.
I enjoyed walking through the aisles checking out two separate rooms with wine and beer. The second room also has a deli counter with many cheese options. They have a very nice selection. One night we were meeting friends for dinner, stopped in here grabbed a nice chunk of cheese, a bottle of Rose, and Govino stems to drink in the car as we waited for our friends to meet us. Great store to run in, grab some bottle’s, purchase some nice cheese, and have a great evening.
Their prices are very competitive and you can find some great deals.
Again nothing fancy, nothing pretentious, just a cool neighborhood shop with so much to offer. And they have excellent events here as well.

Wow What A Great Event held Here! The Beer Tasting was Awesome! I meet some very Wonderful People tonight like Monica, Michelle C and her husband Dominick, Phillip, Alex the Elite Photographer, Rony, Ozzy and his fiancé, Paul, Caro, Danny, and some other people I forgot Sorry Bad Memory!
When you walking in your write your name on a name tag and the Fun Begins! They had several tables set up with all different types of ales, stout, cider, rice beers, and other delicious types that I cant remember their names. Lol Also there was some Munchies to accompany the wonderful Beer! They had some Cheddar, Gouda, Baked Brie, and Cheese Bread. They were all Delicious! Plus they Had Wings! What goes Better with Beer! The staff was Awesome and Great Service! I would recommend this Liquor store to Everyone! Thanks again Monica for making my First Elite Event a Good One!

My mom, being the professional hostess she is, knows where to procure the finest wines, cheeses and other mandatory spreads when entertaining company. And for years, she’s chosen to shop at Sunset Corners to fill her wine fridge and cheese drawer.
The guys who work there are eager to lend a hand when picking the right wine for your tastes. Their finely curated selection guarantees that you’re walking out with a quality bottle and if wine isn’t your flavor, there’s a nice selection of microbrewed beers and spirits to choose from.
Definitely a spot you want to hit up when you’re looking to stock up for the holidays or just sit in a corner and drink alone.
Oh and how could I forget?! They carry this amazing cheese I discovered back in California. It’s a nutty, creamy (but firm) goat cheese gouda called «Midnight Moon.» I swear it’s the best cheese you’ve had in a long long time and anyone you introduce it to will thank you forever. So you can thank me now.

Really the truth in any business is what happens after the product leaves the store, what kind of service do you get then.
In a liquor store, you consume it, hopefully not all at once. I went to sunset corners because I bought a Margaritaville blender, and it was experiment time. Sunset Corners as you know has everything and anything to concoct any cocktail. They have a laid back attitude andI know I’ve been critical before, with them and there wine or beer tastings, they have treated me right.
Well, it was after my purchase that showed me what a great group of guy’s they are. As I arrived home I took my new environmentally correct brown bag and exited my car, just then I heard the bag rip, and BAM, if felt the glass shatter on the ground and watched the Margarita mix bleed out. Well is was my own damn fault so off back to Sunset Corners.
I re-​entered the store, grabbed another Margarita mix, and explained to them how stupid I was (I’ve done a lot of explaining in my life). The response was are bag are fault, take it. I really didn’t want too, it was a nice offer; however, they were more insistent then I.
That was an offer I couldn’t refuse, but they have a customer for life now too!

I love this spot. Great beer selection, great wine selection and the best price on my favorite rum, Flor de Cana 18 year. The only reason it doesn’t get 5 stars is because they don’t carry Leblon cachaca, so I have to go to other places for that.
Thanks to the Unilocal Elite event here last month, I now have to delve in to the fabulous cheese selection here. More things to take from my wallet and put on to my thighs…*sigh* oh well, you only live once!

Ok. First off, my hubby and I had a great time at the Unilocal event that took place at Sunset Corners. There were lots of beers to taste and all of the bartenders were fun and very nice.
Second, we were looking for a champagne bottle for our anniversary and found it here.
Third, we found our absolute-​favorite-​cheese-​ever-​goodness here! In the past, we had been ordering it from London [yes, we love it that freaking much!]. Oh yeah and the cheese is a mango-​ginger white stilton. If you haven’t had this and are a cheese lover, I advise you to try it… like… right NOW. It’s cheese on steroids.
They had a great selection of beers, wine, and cheese. A liquor store after my own heart!
Service was great.
And I love that they have wine & cheese classes. I’m considering attending one!

It’s time for an update. Sunset Corners has long been a very good area liquor store. It’s small, but they do an admirable job of packing an excellent selection into limited space. The front room is devoted to spirits and beer, while wine and cheese get a separate, distinct space.
My only real prior complaint was that overflow beer was frequently stacked by the front window, sometimes in direct sunlight. This would tend to increase the chance of light-​struck, or «skunked,» beer, as the chemicals in hops can bind with sulfur atoms when exposed to UV light.
This issue has been addressed. Beer no longer sits by the window, and is well-​organized on the shelf. Incidentally, it’s also a lot easier to find the beer, as it used to be stuck wherever there was room. I didn’t necessarily mind this, as I kinda enjoyed going treasure-​hunting — but for most people, the organized shelves make for a much better presentation.
Selection? There’s always something new and interesting to be found.
