The HyVee next door or the one further down Lincoln Way has a nice selection, but Cyclone Liquors' is much better. And since my last review of this establishment over 14 years ago, I make it a point to come here when I'm in town. My latest preference is that as much as I enjoy a good IPA, I'm tired of them right now. So on my most recent trip to Cyclone Liquors, I was looking for some nice Belgian Beers. Here's what I found here and took home: St. Bernadus #12, Rochefort 8, and Bosteels Tripel Karmeliet. These beers are meant to be sipped and I'll be back from more.

They were not open yet and as I went to leave a girl with dark hair pulled up and opened the place up. Due to the construction I was not able to turn right around so I took my business else where.

There is nothing quite like a proper liquor store, even compared to a well-stocked grocery…read more Ingersoll Wine and Spirits has occupied its current location for decades giving it a retro, old school vibe. Aisles are clearly marked removing much of the guess work if you aren't there to browse. If you don't see what you're looking for, the staff is glad to point you in the right direction or confirm if it is in their inventory. Well-provisoned with beer, wine, and spirits of all types, regionalities, and price points you are sure to find something to suit your palette and/or occasion. Things to know: * The store has limited parking, though this is not often a challenge * I have, in the past, been able to special order bottles that were being distributed in the region, but not part of their inventory.

The gentleman running the shop was nice enough and the prices were fair. The store has a pretty good selection of whiskey and bourbon. I left with a couple of bottles.

My husband drives from Ames to get a specific brand of whiskey when he's craving it since nowhere in Ames carries it lol. The store is kept clean and free of any trip or spill hazards. The outside is well kept also. There isn't any garbage or cigarette butts spread around. The staff is always really helpful and pleasant to talk with. They've even offered to order something that they don't usually carry. Any time we call, they're kind and helpful on the phone and have offered to hold the specific bottle we were asking about until we arrived from Ames.

I'd seen Liquor Lovers featured on a couple bourbon channels I watch on YouTube, but didn't realize…read morethey are basically across the street from one of my favorite second hand/thrift stores in Ankeny (The Attic) and one of my favorite pizza places (Wig & Pen)... I ventured in on a Sunday after picking up a birthday present for my gf. That's where I met the Jims! I was greeted right away when I walked in...and talk about customer service! These gentlemen knew their stuff and were really fun to talk to! After a while I think I walked out of the store with five bottles. One a bottle I thought I've have to order online. Kentucky Coffee...an inexpensive bottle, but one that combines two of my favorite things. Bourbon and coffee! While my interest is mostly in bourbon and whiskey the store has a great selection of beer, wine, and other spirits. If I had to pick one thing that sets this store apart from every other liquor store... It's attention and customer service. And it wasn't just me. They treated everyone who walked in the same way. It was a nice change over other stores where the staff can't be bothered to look away from their phones or the conversation with their buddies. Before I left I had a chance to meet the shop owner's son. A really nice guy! I didn't catch his name... But if he's any reflection of his father I'd say meeting him when the time comes will be a pleasure. And Liquor Lovers supports their customers who serve...or who have served...with a 5% discount. Every little bit helps! I'll definitely be coming back here when I'm in the Ankeny area...and I'm there a lot.

I stopped into Neighborhood Liquor House this past Sunday after checking out Liquor Lovers…read more Neighborhood is a nice little shop with a good selection...some fairly rare bottles of bourbon just sitting out on the shelf at close to MSRP. The young lady working was polite enough, but never came out from behind the counter. Quite a 180 from my experience at Liquor Lovers. I picked up a bottle of Penelope Wheated and a New Riff for my shelf. I'd go back because of the selection. But the customer service is lacking like a lot of other shops throughout the metro... They say bourbon hunting and the people who do it make up a community all in itself... And part of that community is the store staff. To be personable, to strike up a conversation, to get to know your customers... Especially when good bottles cost $40-$200+ each... It's important.
