Otto's is my nearest liquor store and so I visit from convenience. What I've come to find is that…read moreit's a good store. They have quite a decent selection crammed into a small store. The staff is knowledgeable if you ask them, but they leave you alone if you don't ask for help. That's good and bad, because they never suggest or up-sell. I've asked about the same bourbon on every visit and no one has ever offered to put me on a wait list. Other shops would have seized the opportunity. The prices are competitive and the sales prices are excellent. The cameras and security guards are not welcoming and somewhat put a damper on the shopping experience.

Wait what, I've never reviewed this location yet have been shopping here for about a decade?!…read more To be fair, I am usually getting the same things BUT they have good prices (sales often) for what I buy and lots of options if you want a selection. I'm not sure of the rules around this, but they will possibly order you something special if you request it and buy a case or if they see it as a possible selling item. The store is employee owned and it seems they don't have much turnover with employees which is a good sign. Another bonus? Covered parking which is nice in inclement weather and just because no one wants to find street parking. Sometimes the lot can be busy at peak hours but they get people in and out quickly. Remember to pull up as close as possible to the wall or people can't get through. They also have security guards at night for sure, mostly because of thefts in the past but I've never seen anything weird happen when shopping. Ott's on Oakland is most certainly my go to liquor store because they have the best prices and selection combined in the area.

Inside, they stock the basics - beer (mostly domestics with a few microbrews thrown in), wine (lots of "bum wine" but some ok bottles too) and lots and lots of malt liquor. The prices aren't too bad and the guy at the counter was friendly. If you're staying at one of the nearby hotels it's pretty much your only option for liquor in the area.

Oh, you don't know about Corner Liquors?…read more It's by 4 bus stops on Holton & Burleigh. It's across from the cash only gas station that you don't want to go to...that's cool...I'll go. GIVE ME ALL THE SHADY CASH ONLY BUSINESS DUKEDOMS. I can empathize with the trepidation some may feel when contemplating a visit to an establishment like Corner Liquors. Let me tell you, this place is better than you might expect. It is VERY clean and organized. I cannot say the same about the typical clientele. Yes, the entire counter area is encased in a plastic/glass type tank cage that doesn't look like it could stop a bullet. Yes, it's basically a boozed up convenience store. But this one is cleaner than most & has solid employees. I use this place to grab emergency beer if I don't want anything special. They carry just about any mass produced domestic beer you can imagine. However, you won't see many craft beers. They seem to sell a lot of cigarettes & chips. Plus, you can find any denomination of booze bottle. Once, I held an 18 pack of High Life & a 12 pack of cider & waited behind a woman who asked about the prices of the tiny airline ready bottles of liquor. She asked & asked. The worker patiently informed her of each price & counted the woman's change as she paid for each individually. With change. Coins. How much is that? *Counts out change* How much is that? *Counts out change* Ad nauseam. She was going to seize that Friday night. The owners / operators are very friendly & mean business. They opened an additional cash register so that I didn't have to wait for the madness to subside. Get in. Get out. Get drunk on an armload of fun sized bottles of booze you bought after smashing your kid's piggy bank. Aren't all bottles of alcohol fun sized?

The chocolates were all super flavorful and had an amazing creamy texture. Clearly high quality stuff. The wines the staff at Waterford paired beautifully! They even let us sample some espresso liqueur and peanut butter tequila to go with our chocolates! The staff was also very knowledgeable and helpful. This is a great little shop with a wide and interesting selection. They also have spirits and I found a lovely bottle of whiskey to take home. All in all, this made for the perfect environment for a Galentine's date! I will be back!

We just recently went to the "new" location for a wine tasting…read more They have a neat space in the back for tasting events, and a good selection of wines and other spirits. The tasting we attended was free, and the rep was friendly and knowledgeable. They didn't have a particular wine we were asking about, but offered to order it for us, and it arrived within a few days. If paying with a card, there is a fee, as with many places these days, so bring cash if you'd like to avoid a fee. If you're looking for a good wine selection in Milwaukee proper, Waterford should be on your list.

We arrived right around 7:20pm and were alerted on arrival by the single employee that kitchen was closed (despite the business hours being open until 9pm). Oh well, not a huge deal even though we wanted food we decided to stick around for the great wine. So we decided to just get a tasting flight. Once the employee decided to get off of their phone (to which they immediately returned for the rest of the evening) we placed our order. We would've loved even some minimal engagement on our selections for the flight or acknowledgment of our choices or presence period. As someone who was worked on the service industry for many years I would've forgiven this behavior at 8:45pm but we would've been better off just enjoying wine at home given it felt like the establishment was closed from the second we walked in. The wine was great but we should've just bought a bottle and picked up food elsewhere.
