Located at Av. Argentina 0351, 1240000 Antofagasta, Tio sam operates as a liquor and wine shop in the city of Antofagasta. This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it. Besides its main category, the business also describes itself as distribuidor de cerveza and tienda de alimentación, so it may cover more than the name suggests.

In Chile lunch is the main meal of the day, roughly from 13:00 to 15:00, once (afternoon tea) comes between 17:00 and 19:00 and dinner rarely starts before 20:30, busiest at weekends. At lunchtime many places serve a menú del día (set lunch), the bill shows a suggested 10% tip that is voluntary, and in the cities almost everything can be ordered for delivery through PedidosYa, Uber Eats or Rappi. Botillerías sell beer, wine and pisco for a get-together and many deliver; the hours when alcohol can be sold are set by law and by each municipality, sales to under-18s are illegal and you may be asked for ID.

Opening hours are published for all seven days of the week. On most of those days it is open 14:30–4:00. Hours may change on public holidays, at the Fiestas Patrias in September and over Christmas and New Year. You can reach Tio sam on 9 5850 8078; calling is the quickest way to ask about availability, appointments or directions, and many businesses in Chile also answer on WhatsApp.
