About

Serving Pacific Beach for over sixty years, Chips Liquor at 1926 Garnet Ave, 92109, is one of the longest-running liquor stores in the neighborhood. The business incorporated as Chips Liquor LLC on April 10, 2013, according to BBB records, though the storefront itself predates that filing by decades under previous ownership. Manager Rivani H. oversees daily operations and a staff that reviewers describe as friendly and knowledgeable about the store's deep inventory. The standout feature is a walk-in beer cave stocked with an ever-rotating lineup of San Diego craft brews, Belgian imports, and limited-release sours including Cantillon Gueuze and Russian River's Supplication. Garnet Ave shoppers hunting for vintage finds between bottle runs can step into Bridge Thrift nearby, a community-minded resale shop. Chips Liquor also maintains a robust e-commerce operation at chipsliquor.com, promoting same-day order processing and nationwide shipping. Those picking up a bottle for dinner often grab wings and sliders at Dirty Birds Pacific Beach on the same Garnet strip. The store's Instagram following has grown past 11,000 as the team regularly spotlights new arrivals and limited drops. Chips Liquor is open daily, with Friday and Saturday hours extending to midnight.
