Keg N Bottle

So much nicer after Randy got fired but no one obeys the no smoking laws they are always smoking right in front of the door

Whenever I’m throwing a party, this is my go to place for ice and other various drinks. The employees are also very helpful and friendly!

Seriously the best service from the guys at KnB! They really helped us out with returning and unloading. Don’t normally leave Unilocal reviews often but had to leave one as a big THANKS!

So I needed a keg and jockey box, and they had them both rdy to go. Now I just went with a standard coors light ½, so they had it in stock, but the jockey box was rdy, clean, and functional. They showed me how to hook it up, gave some tips and then gave me 20lbs of CO2, like 19lbs too much. They also let me get it on Friday, for a Saturday party, and return on Sunday. Great company, really appreciate it.

Great beer selection. Prices in line with most other liquor stores in SD. Roby the manager is super cool. Great customer service

My friend’s favorite sour ale is Cuvée Des Jacobins Rouge. Unfortunately, at $ 7 per bottle, it’s a little hard to find, but she mentioned that Keg N Bottle usually has them. Never having been to a Keg N Bottle, I decided to just Google the closest address to me and take a look.
I was surprised at the selection of beers, wines, and spirits available in this store. When we first arrived, I was a little skeptical because the exterior looked like your average convenience store, but upon walking in, I was excited to see all of the options.
Cam and I roamed around the beer aisles and couldn’t find the sour ale in question. After about 5 minutes, someone from behind the counter asked if we needed help, so I showed him a picture of the sour ale I was looking for. Unfortunately, he didn’t have any in stock, but I asked if he had any suggestions for something similar, he recommended a few brands and then gave me some time to ponder his suggestions.
After I made my decision, I checked out with one of the cashiers. I had gotten one selection from the refrigerator and one from the shelves, which he noticed and offered to grab a cold bottle. Since these bottles were for gifts, I actually would have preferred both of them to be room temperature, but it was nice to see a high level of customer service here.
This store is a little far out of our way to visit often, but the selection and service is great from my experience this weekend.

I went today to buy some wine bottles for a birthday present for a friend. I’m not a wine fanatic, so I didn’t even know were to start. They had a wide range of wine & beer.
The guy at the register was super nice & helpful. He asked me if it was my first time there & gave me a few suggestions on wine. I work really close to this place, so I will definitely be back to check out their beer section! & not to mention their wine is really affordable! I can’t wait to come back.

I dropped by this place last Saturday to pick up a few bottles for a birthday celebration. Definitely impressed with the selection, prices and customer service. No more Bevmo for me!

Huge beer selection if you’re OK with dramatically overpaying. Last year, they expanded with a huge walk-​in cooler, stocked to the brim with craft and import beers. If you crave it, it’s here. Very expensive, however, even for basic domestic brew. They also have a non-​refrigerated wine selection that varies from «What’s that?» to «Wow, they carry THAT here!?». It fluctuates month to month. They also have all the standard mixers and juices like most other liquor stores. I love that they keep WHIPPED CREAM in stock! I knocked a star off for the horrible, unpredictable hours they keep. No sign, no standard. You never know when they’re going to be open! They typically close very early (around 8pm on weeknights).

Amazing place, they have a wide selection of practically every thing. Even a walk in beer cooler, with an amazing selection of hard cider. I even really like the staff, I feel comfortable as a female to go in there even late at night. Plus good prices.

Great assortment of beers and helpful staff. Only downside is the location. The shop is sandwiched in an old and tired looking strip mall.

Before heading to the in-​laws, I asked my buddy if we could hit up a place that sells some craft brews for our Yearly Holiday Bottle Sharing event. I had to laugh when he brought us to this part of the in-law’s neighborhood I’ve never been before. Located less than a mile away from our destination, resides a brightly lit storefront in what looked like an abandoned dilapidated strip mall.
I was a lil skerd getting out of the car at this time of night as I imagined this would be a perfect setting for a scene in the Walking Dead.
Upon entering the Keg N Bottle I made a b-​line for the refrigerated beer section. I found myself in front of an EXCELLENT craft bomber selection. Most from the S.D. area breweries and several rarities that are hard to come by in my local neighborhood liquor joints.
KNB has a non-​refrigerated section in the rear next to entry way of walk-​in fridge dedicated to craft beers.
Quite a few beers & breweries I’ve never heard of before! Apparently lots of others haven’t heard of some of these as we had to blow the dust off some of the bottles we picked up to inspect.
The walk-​in fridge features 6ers, cases of crafts & run-​of-​the-​mill domestic coldies. Lined up in the middle of the walk-​in sits kegs & kegs… and more kegs. All cold & ready for you to pick up.
We walked out of there with several bottles from Bear Republic, Mother Earth, Russian River & Left Coast; including a few Christmas Ales & Winter Warmers for our bottle sharing Christmas tradition… let’s not forget a couple bottles of wine for the wives. By the way, I got off on the cheap as some of the beers purchased would easily be a couple bucks more per bottle in my neck of the woods.
I look forward to my next visit (during the day) & loading the back of my truck with some of these hard to find bottles.
CHEERS!

Only place in San Diego that sells «El Dorado» 12 yrs aged. Thanks again for carrying this amazing rum.

Lived, played and passed through this neighborhood for more than 30 years and never knew about the little strip mall where Keg N Bottle resides… I was given a referral from another liquor store when I was on the hunt for a keg for my birthday party. What a great tip! This place is awesome. Not corporate, just friendly and incredibly well stocked with tasty libations, many from San Diego’s own amazing spectrum of brewers. I got my keg, and several bottles of craft beer for later (you can never have too much beer) and some birthday souvenirs thrown in by the Jefe. Great experience, great selection, great people. This is the place to take your business, rather than the big corporate stores.

Pretty good deal. I got a keg, picked it up. turned it back. I remember getting a keg from here for my 22^nd birthday. It was pretty beast and the beer is what you pay for. My friend once bought a keg and the beer tasted like water. THIS IS NOT THAT PLACE. I trust this place to bring me the beer that I asked for. Good stuff guys.

i love this neighborhood liquor store. They even give your dog biscuits when you go there. If only they would sell me the winning lotto ticket…

Very friendly & helpful staff. Had to rent a U-​haul truck to move some bricks & they were very professional with the transaction. I rented a 20 foot V-​10 Ford with only 5000 miles on it. When returning the truck they even had a dog treat for my dog :-). Now the only thing that would really make it better– is to buy «THE» winning lotto tickets there.

i dub thee, secret suburban booze shop.
seriously…i went 2 years living in the neighborhood never knowing this place existed. cruisin’ in the mt. streets, shaking my head at the abandoned gas station right across from homes; i never would have imagined this lil liquor store was hiding behind it. with patriotic flags strung across the front, it screams in silence of its fermented liquid deliciousness available.
no, its not the best deal around. never gonna compete with places like vons down the way. but as a local store it rocks in a lot of ways:
friendly mom and pop type staff
sales on some pretty tasty wine — spent $ 5 on a red that was delicious and not headache wine!
lots of variety in refrigerated beer — standard stuff, local craft beer, individual bottles
back room of individual specialty beers — definitely the cool and distinguishing factor of this place
guarantee of products — the cork had gone bad in one of the wines (residue crap in bottom) and we were given 50% off the next wine we purchased

Hidden in a strip mall, which is buried in a residential section, this liquor store is well off the beaten path.
Plenty of parking out front and wide array of typical convenience store items with matching convenience store prices. The employees were friendly enough, keeping both registers available for quick check-​out, and I noticed a steady stream of locals stopping by.
Keg N Bottle nicely fills a niche for the surrounding residents, however, I wouldn’t drive out of my way simply because I have closer and less expensive options to where I live.

This is a really strange store. Unlike it’s sibling in the College Area, which is huge and bustling, this one is quiet and has a smaller beer selection. Not everything is cold (which is a good thing), and several of the bottles have a good bit of dust. That said, we visited on our house-​hunting trip and found some extremely rare (and very well-​aged) beers that we still talk about.
