When you're in Hamtramck and you absolutely, positively, have to get drunk on a budget, Conant-Caniff Market is the place to go. This fine establishment is Mecca for all things booze and foods void of nutritional value, and a decent grocery store substitute for bachelors.
The place has nearly three solid floor to ceiling walls of liquor, beer, and wine.
The ghetto staples are all present:
Wild Irish Rose, Camo 40s, MD 20/20 Red Grape AND Blue Raspberry!
They also sell your favorite crisp, effervescent, refreshing best-served-cold-as-possible to mask the taste mass marketed yellow beers.
Need cheap vodka in a glass skull or 3 week aged bourbon in a crystal shotgun? How about a single shot worth of Patron, some Chore Boy or a peculiar rose looking thing in a glass tube? Yeah - Conant-Caniff Market has got that covered too!
For those looking to splurge or impress a date on the way to Hamtramck Disneyland, CCM also has a gigantic selection of good red and white wines, and a respectable selection of craft and import beers.
The place is loaded with a nice assortment of junk foods, and when you just can't be bothered with stopping in an actual grocery store, they've got a decent selection of canned and frozen foods.
The staff are always friendly and often venture out past the bullet-proof glass to help grab a bottle of wine the top shelf or put the porno mags back where the kiddies can't see them. They've always smiled while taking my money, and I've always left feeling a little more broke, but about to get a lot more drunk.
Conant-Caniff market is the perfect execution of the ghetto liquor store concept. Highly recommended! read more
