No Crown Royal in stock,lucky me I'm a Jack dude as well,the most expensive bottle of ordinary NO#7 I have ever bought. 1L bottle here for the price 1.75+ in Chicago. I guess it's a thing here in Albuquerque to jack up the prices so high. Cheers, LoL 😂😂

Mean people work here. Signs deteriorate you from the truth. Big beard guy is not friendly and his bro ain’t friendly either

Refused service due to taking a phone call and leaning against the wall to talk. Had two beers at the Sushi place across the street and said I was "too intoxicated to buy beer" I have been going there for months with no issues and then they pull that BS. Speakeasy is fine and they were willing to let me down there to drink but can't buy a 6pk to take home. This place is an overpriced joke. Lost a customer who literally lives 3 blocks away. And insult to injury their buddy comes stumbling up but knows the people by name and they sell to him. Avoid this cess poll of a place.

Little more that your avg corner store, this spot offers a unique variety of wine and spirits. El Rey Liquors specializes in tequila and many different bourbons/whiskies, from around the world. *Entrance to Founders Speakeasy is in the store! Check with the clerk for information, visit the website @ foundersabq.com for the password or find us on Instagram @foundersabq (pw in the bio) Cheers!

Best corner store ever! The crew kept the neighborhood going during the pandemic, always an uplifting chat and an update. I don't have TV so I get my pandemic news here. This store is fantastic. Wished they'd sell more Diet Coke and Diet Dr Pepper. I only have a beer once every few months and felt bad for the Corona brand.
