Park Lane Liquor

January 31, 2008
(Visited 12/2007): Stopped by here on a trip from Mission Viejo to Tehachapi. Park Lane Liquor is located at the end of a strip mall on Avenue K a mile or so from the freeway. Parking is plentiful in the lot. The store should consider adding Beer to their name, because based on outward appearances a person would not expect the almost staggering amount of beer available in the store. The beer is in the rear of the store and there were a couple aisles and coolers devoted to beer. It is segregated somewhat by region, which makes it easy to hit the Western US, Imports, etc. As for the beer selection, it is too numerous to list. Brewers like Port, Sequoia, Speakasy, Nimbus etc are plentiful, as are the better known craft brewers like Stone, Sierra Nevada etc. There is also a very thorough selection of imports from the UK, Belgium and Germany plus other countries scattered around. There is also a shelf full of glassware, and they even carry some beer-related food items like Stone hot sauce. Service here is good. Despite some language barrier issues the women behind the counter were helpful. Overall I was pleasantly surprised with what a literal oasis of beer this place is out in the desert. I will definitely stop here any time I am in the Lancaster/Tehachapi/Bakersfield area.

small generic little liquor store, until you walk in. place is tiny and packed to the ceiling with a well rounded selection of beer, glasses, special edition beers, good liquor (esp. scotch) selection too. prices are good for the antelope valley, and at least not over priced which is what you would expect in a place like this.

When I saw the place I was not impressed. When I walk to the back of the store my jaw it the floor, I was not prepared for the large selection of beers. They have US, German, Belgian, Austian, and French. The prices for the most part are OK, some of the prie seem a little high. If back in the area will go back.
