Just before Thanksgiving I was trudging home after work and passed by the store a few minutes…read morebefore closing time. I spotted a sign for glögg being sold and thought of someone special who loves it. I popped in and tried to be quick about my purchase so they could continue closing, but in my haste I left my ID case with my credit cards on the counter, not quite in sight of the register clerk. It was a couple days later that I actually realized my ID case was gone (as I much more often use mobile pay). In a panic, I retraced my steps over the weekend. When I got to their shop and asked about my case, they immediately presented it to me right at the counter. They had even gone out of their way to find me on Facebook, though I hadn't spotted their message until after retrieving my case; and they had apparently considered dropping the case off at a nearby clinic since they noticed I had a card there, and they would have my contact info. Very thoughtful and clever! So this isn't about the shop's products (though the glögg was a big hit and I bought a few more bottles) - I think that shopkeepers who actually go out of their way to try to return important/sensitive items to their owners, rather than just dropping it into a lost and found behind the counter to be forgotten, is a business that I want to continue supporting - luckily I live just down the street now (unfortunately my ID hadn't been updated yet!).

Terrible Customer Service - Avoid This place…read more I've never felt so unwelcome in a store before. All I did was open the fridge **twice** because I wasn't sure what I wanted, and the staff acted like I committed a crime. One of the employees got visibly annoyed and made a snarky comment about me letting the "cold air out." Seriously? If you're that worried about your beer getting slightly less cold for **two seconds**, maybe you shouldn't be running a liquor store where customers need to **see their options** before buying. The attitude was horrible--no patience, no understanding, just pure rudeness. There are plenty of other places that actually appreciate their customers and don't treat them like an inconvenience for daring to browse. Save yourself the hassle and take your business elsewhere. **Zero stars if I could.**

Worst experience EVER from this so called distributor. Let me begin by saying that I have been…read morepurchasing tequila online for over 15 years. Additionally I travel to Mexico several times a year and am a long time tequila aficionado. Most of my purchases are from SipTequila, Old Town, Remedy, just to name a few. I have on occasion have purchased from OffPremise as sometimes the have something that my other previously mentioned "go to distributors don't have". Quite honestly I never had an issue with OffPremise until today. I placed two separate orders this week with them, two different bottles / two entirely separate orders, for which I gladly payed two shipping charges for. So the other day I receive ONE package with both of my orders in the same box, mind you I paid for shipping on both as I assumed since two separate orders I would receive two separate shipments. I reach out to Adam Kamin at OffPremise to simply ask that since I did receive both orders in ONE shipment if he could kindly refund me for one shipment since they put both in one shipment ... guess what , his reply was very condescending and told me to go F myself. He'd rather say F you to a customer than to refund me a lousy $13.11. I have been buying tequila online for well over a decade and never have had an issue with any distributor that I've purchased from ... except for this guy !! BUYER BEWARE, steer clear of OffPremise !!!! Go spend your money at reputable distributors such as SipTequila, Old Town, or Remedy. The nerve to tell me to F off, F off to OffPremise and to Adam Kamin. DO BUSINESS ELSEWHERE !!! Don't listen to the responses from this poor excuse for a "so called" businessman. Clearly hasn't been in business very long, maybe his daddy helped him, Adam is definitely not self made and he acts like it !!

The music playing was obnoxious, like someone vomiting into a trumpet. I guess World Wide Liquor and Food doesn't want its customers to stay for long! The selection of beer was decent, but didn't have anything to set it apart. The guy behind the counter mumbled horribly. I still have no idea what he said, but it ended with "ID," so I showed him my license. He seemed appeased. I never want to go back to World Wide, as a 3-minute visit made my hair smell for the rest of the day. However, I do give one extra star because they had Game of Thrones beer when 3 other stores didn't... PROBABLY because nobody wanted to set foot into the place!

The people who work there are really nice as well. At the time we went there, there was a beer tasting happening. We got to try an IPA called Launch Juice.

Their selection isn't that of Binny's, but for the normal drinker, I guarantee they have whatever it is you need.

You're obviously paying for convenience, so if you know you're going to need a lot of booze ahead of time, maybe make the trip to Binny's or Jewel. If you just need a case of beer or a bottle of wine/liquor, this store will do just fine.
