Really love the online ordering and the curbside delivery They also have a wonderful selection of beer and wine

The entire staff is highly knowledgeable about every product sold here, they are beyond helpful, cordial, and they always make sure you leave with the perfect product. Cheers to all at Hi-Times!

Great website and newsletters. Like the staff and tasting bar. It's a pretty amazing wine store -- has the hallmarks of a great family business.

Best prices. Best selection. Friendliest and helpful staff. This is our go-to place for anything beer, wine, liquor or even gifts.

Highly recommended. Hi Time has very knowledgeable and helpful staff and a huge selection of Wine, Spirits and Beer. Best liquor store in Orange County that I have been to. Their wine cellar is prodigious and can be intimidating at first but well organized. Their prices are great as well and sometimes they have outstanding deals on close outs.

What an insane collection of all things drinkable! They have every obscure spirit (7 varieties of Sambuca!!) and even a huge selection of alcohol free beer and spirits!

Best liquor store in town, if you can even call it that. It's got so much more than just drinks: a cigar shop, candy shop, and wine tasting room downstairs. As far as the prices go, it's suuuuuper competitive with Costco & total wine. But most of the time they're running sales so the pricing is even lower than total wine. For the price and insane selection there's really no need to shop anywhere else

Family owned wine cellar and spirits shop, serving the people of Costa Mesa since 1957. They have a 3000 square foot underground temperature-controlled cellar, which houses 10,000+ wines from around the world. Their staff is made up of three generations of relatives, all highly knowledgeable of wine and spirits. The shop is well organized, and products are fairly priced. I was in search of a specific bottle of Blanton's for a Christmas gift, and had a hard time finding it anywhere else. Hi-Time had plenty of it, at the best price I'd seen. The shop was very busy a week before Christmas, but the staff were still genuinely friendly and helpful, and the line moved quickly. I highly recommend Hi-Time.

I don't think I could ever willing step into a BevMo after experiencing Hi-Time Wine Cellars. We visited Hi-Time while on the hunt for flavored vodka for a specialty holiday cocktail. I had heard rumors about how amazing this space was, but nothing other than a visit could do it justice. Our group of four was instantly enamored by this local business. The store had endless isles stacked with liquor, beer, wine, seltzer, and non alcoholic beverages. You could easily spend hours exploring their unique flavors and exotic bottles. Outside of booze they also have a selection of steins, glasses, cigars, and shareable snacks. One isle was even dedicated to the most adorable collection of locally made candies for the holidays - I grabbed some milk chocolate honey comb for my mom! Since we visited on a Saturday there was a number of alcohol distributors offering tastings scattered throughout the store. Their knowledgeable team also hosts a monthly calendar of guided tastings and hands-on classes. This is the best spot if you're looking to grow your alcohol collection or trying to find the perfect gift. I might even come back to find a flashy bottle for an upcoming white elephant gift exchange!

I always like to have four basic spirits available for gatherings at the house: Tequila, whisky, vodka and rum. I was out of tequila & rum. I wanted Kapena li hing infused tequila fr Hawai'i, and Don Papa 7 yr old rum fr the Philippines. My go to place does not carry either, so I finally checked Hi-Time and they carried both. Kapena is special bc it comes from where I grew up. Don Papa is special bc it is aged 7 yrs, and the sugar cane is from near a volcano that is colloquially known as Sugarlandia. The workers at Hi-Time are nice and super helpful. Unfortunately, the Kapena was out of stock, but the guy who helped me was familiar with Don Papa, and knew where it was located. I also inquired about the wine tastings they have on Thu, Sat & Sun, and they really appealed to me. The only downsides to Hi-Time is you can't check what is in stock, and the spirits are not organized in alphabetical order. We searched for Kapena in several different places, only to find it was out of stock. Nonetheless, if you are looking for spirits that the big chains do not carry, and lower prices on items that the big chains do carry, Hi-Time does the trick. They are really well known in the area for their offerings and service.
