This place has a bigger beer selection than Trump's ego!…read more Seriously, they have almost 1200 beers. They are organized by type or region and you can pick your own six pack. They also have a great stock of whiskeys, so make sure you spend a few minutes there as well. I missed it at first because I was distracted by the amazing selection of beer. Another great thing is that the staff are very helpful and knowledgeable, I love beer and have tried a fair number of craft and micro brews over the years, but when I come here, I feel like a total newbie. Fear not! The staff are there to help and answer any question you may have. They are not just people throwing stuff on shelves, Oh no, they are busy sampling their wares. They can tell you about all the great things they are selling. Now that's commitment! For those of you who don't drink beer and whiskey, they sell other stuff too, whatever!.

I was in Saint Paul for a friend's wedding recently and stayed at an apartment downtown for a long…read moreweekend. Once we arrived, we wanted to stock our place and that included seeking out some local brews for the fridge. After a quick Yelp search we found that this liquor store was within walking distance and had great reviews - check and check! I have to say that this part of Saint Paul is not my favorite. The best way I can describe it, which won't be helpful to most people (I'm sorry!), is that it feels like downtown Kansas City ca. 2000. Meaning, it's fine, but it feels really vacant on the weekend, a bit dirty, with a feeling of "watch out, you might get mugged!" mixed in. This liquor store is nestled right into that mix and it kind of fits the vibe of this part of the city. It's small, dated, and could use some cleaning. Overall though, I'll say that the folks working here were super friendly, and that they had a decent selection for such a small place. We found some fun beers to try and were in and out quickly. If I lived in the area I'd probably look for another one that felt like it was in a little bit of a safer area, or if liquor laws permit purchasing beer and wine at the grocery store, I'd just go there instead.

Island Boy and I stopped here a few months ago to grab a bottle of Patrón on our way to a friend's…read morebirthday party. He's a tequila lover, so we would usually buy him a bottle of Patrón Silver, but we discovered they had Patrón Repasado on sale for $29.99 (normally $42.99), making it $7 less than the silver...score! All of their prices seemed pretty reasonable, and they had a lot on sale. Surly Furious 4 packs were $8.99, Apothic wines were $7.99 (not the cheapest I've found, but still $1 less than most places). We've been here a couple times now, and the first time they made a mistake on the price when they rang up the Patrón--the manager quickly apologized and refunded the difference, no problem. When we returned the next time, a similar thing happened, but because of our experience the first time, we were able to catch it and they corrected it before they ran the payment. So, just keep an eye out for that to make sure you're getting the deals as advertised!

You never know what you are going to get with a neighborhood corner liquor store. 1st Grand Ave…read moreLiquor though is like the candy store for adults. It isn't a huge store so it is easy to find what you need, but it is still large enough to carry a good selection of things. The layout is also really clear and very manageable. You won't get lost for hours trying to find that one bottle of wine you love, but you may also stumble across something you never thought about. The staff here is friendly. They didn't hover and pry to know what you were looking for, but they were present enough to know that they could swoop in and help at any time. They seemed to be very friendly with some of the "regular" clientele. The prices are fair but you are paying for better quality. I wouldn't say you are going to save big bucks on your choices coming here, but you won't drain your bank account either. Don't let the outside fool you, because this place is a gem! 46/100

This review is a bit different. I came to this Cub Foods to check out the Mr Egg Roll food truck…read morethat was parked in the lot. It was facing 10th Street North. I had no problem finding this store. It's a huge supermarket with a pharmacy and a liquor store within the supermarket. It anchors a plaza with some cool stores, including a nutrition studio and Bierstude, a Germany eatery. I parked at this lot and ate in my car. What seemed weird to me were cars whipping by the parking lot away from Cub, passing by the food truck, and circling back to exit. It was like they would rather avoid customers walking in and out of Cub like it was cursed. I didn't need anything from Cub, but this one looked inviting. I'd love to go inside the next time I'm in this area. At least I got to park in their lot and got a feel for drivers and their weirdness. (65)
