A smallish liquor store with a great size-to-quality ratio in terms of selection. Things I can't find at Big Red or Kroger are here, such as Angel's Envy bourbon and West Coast and Belgian craft beers, and commonly available items are usually at slightly better prices (e.g., $16 at Crown vs $17 elsewhere, $30 at Crown vs. $33 elsewhere). It can't beat Parti Pak for beer selection (esp. local), but for what it has the prices are better, and it's just off the highway.
The 75% off shelf in the back can be hit or miss, with a lot of older and small-scale imports. Among the clearance brews I've tried, I've discovered a lovely Belgian beer that jumped to near the top of the best I've ever had, but I also wound up with a 750ml bottle of the most disgusting cider I've ever tasted, full of sediment and totally undrinkable even after filtering with a cheese cloth. It's worth a shot, but buyer beware.
I had a very pleasant interaction with the chain's general manger, Will Moore, from whom I learned that price matching on alcohol is illegal in Indiana, so you should wait to buy if you think you can find a better deal. Will did, however, offer to let me return the product that I'd found a better price on elsewhere (which I wasn't able to take him up on, since the party I'd bought it for had already taken place). Nonetheless, I appreciated the management's responsiveness to my inquiry.
Overall, a great store for its size, with a fun roulette-like clearance rack. I've had good experiences so far, and I'll be back in the future. read more
