Jerry's Liquors, Tempe

Jerry’s Liquors’ expedient service and diverse selection of age-restrictive elixirs earned it the Phoenix New Times award for Best Drive-Thru Liquor Store, East Valley in 2011. The libation emporium’s convenient drive-thru service allows customers to retrieve their socially lubricating potions in a timely fashion, ensuring they won’t miss a minute of weekend revelry or any hilarious mid-party attempts at deconstructing Finnegans Wake. Open until 2 a.m. 365 days a year, Jerry’s graciously slings suds for late-night beer runners and jaded Santa Clauses from its spot beneath its vintage neon sign.
