If it looks and feels like El Don Liquor has been around Huntington Beach forever, you are correct. There was a time when the surfers who rented rooms above the store used to keep their windows open with the curtains blowing in the breeze without any window screens. Those days are gone but entering the El Don provides a walk into the past. The fluorescent lighting, bars on the windows and inside rack displays could befit a liquor store in any town or city anywhere in the country. 

El Don sells, sodas, liquor, cigarettes, sandwiches, snacks, Bandaids, shampoo, lighters, lotions, newspapers and most the items you'd expect to find in a corner liquor store. With one of the best locations in Huntington Beach across the street from the beach and Huntington Beach Pier, El Don Liquor is a place you keep tucked in the back of your mind for those necessities you need when traveling. It's a convenience store on a heavily-traveled Pacific Coast Highway that provides items most sought and sold at this beach location. It is one of three liquor markets operating in downtown Huntington Beach currently, plus several in the blocks beyond on 11th Street, 17th Street and surrounding regions.
