Lakeside Beverages - Granite Bay

What an excellent shop! I am a big mezcal, scotch and whisky type and Lakeside has everything!! Very recommend this store has a wide selection and great prices. The owner Sam is also very good about wine and spirits and equally... he will take care of you and make sure you go with everything you need!

The wine selection at Lakeside Beverages will knock your socks off! They've got the best wines across the globe at unheard of prices. Before you leave with your purchase, I suggest unwinding and enjoying a tasting at the in-store wine and beer bar. Sam takes great pride in serving and delighting customers, and makes you feel like a family member from the moment you enter the store!

It's a true blessing to have Lamya and Sam in our lives! They are a hardworking couple with big hearts and a lovely family! Yesterday evening we, once again, got the chance to sit and talk with them over a shared drink with friends and had a great time!Thank you so much for being so welcoming!Of course, the selection of spirits at Lakeside is second to none! A ture treasure of Granite Bay!

So, I love this place been stopping back on the way home from the lake for years. A couple of weeks ago I picked up a six pack of craft beer chilled at the bar and felt very welcomed had a great chat and felt like this is gonna be a routine. The next week the owner told me I could buy beer but had to sit outside to drink it. He explained further that it was a wine bar and they were packed Friday's and Saturday's. He said he simply couldn't make enough profit on me to warrant having me sit in his empty bar. Then told me I was welcome to go sit outside. I told him, I didn't feel welcome and it was hot over 90 degrees at the time. So, I don't know what to think. I get that money is a key driver, but making people feel like that's all they represent is kind unpleasant . Also, why not just charge a corkage fee? Oh , and he also said they had beer on tap but wouldn't pour that during wine time. WTF, is this classist or just wine snobbery? I really don't know what to think.

Lots of hard to find wines and spirits, Sam the owner takes the time to understand what you enjoy and finds products that you may like according to your taste ,customer service is A+.Very pleasant atmosphere, the bar area is super cool , you can spend a nice day just sampling new arrivals , definitely a must visit .Thank you Sam !
