You can bring your kid in and instead of makin you feel creepy about it, they'll probably hook up them up with a free sucker while you buy your booze. Good place to get kegs, and they always have Jag in a freezer (and usually Rump', too...incase you're craving dead nazis! haha). Small craft beer selection, plenty of wine and spirits, open early, occassional tastings & bargain bin action, and some interesting novelties sometimes. Easy parking and very quick "in and out" almost any time. Some (but not all) of the prices are a LITTLE more than the chain stores in town, but it's a good place to shop.....especially if you like to "shop local".

So many beers that I had never had before that you could buy in singles. They came up to the Twin Cities a couple years later. Still pretty sweet for awhile. The times they are a changin'. These days, at least half of the shelf space that they used to have for beer is now THC and NA beverages. What they do have for beer almost never rotates and there is way too much emphasis on the local. Total Wine can still be fun if you visit one somewhere that you have never been before to find some new to you beers. The only reason I go them locally anymore is the sheer sake of convenience. Prices are up everywhere, but it doesn't seem like Total Wine has the bargain prices compared to their competition that it used to either.

The most recent time I showed up with a laundry list from my husband and one of the guys working helped me pick up what I needed. There were a couple things that I picked up that were the last on the shelves or slim pickings, but that could definitely be because it's December 27th and everyone already got stocked up for Christmas and new years. Tons of parking, easily accessible, and in a convenient location. Not sure what else you might need from a liquor store!

Vinifera is my neighborhood hook-up for the latest beer releases. It's a tiny place, tucked in the…read morecorner of the strip mall on the southeast side of the 6 & 101 intersection. About two-thirds of the ~750 square feet is dedicated to wine, although I rarely purchase wine here. The remaining space is mostly a large cooler with loads and loads of regional craft beer offerings. Living nearby, I drive past 10-15 times a week. Each and every time I debate whether I really have any more space in my beer fridge for something else. Call it a craft beer addiction if you will, but it's also fun to try different stuff. When I finally succumb to temptation, my usual approach is to stride in, nod to the proprietors (an older couple) or manager (a younger, very beer-savvy drinker), check out the new releases stacked on the left side of the counter, and then park myself in front of the coolers. There is always something new to consider, and I do rely on UnTappd to give me a sense of what may be worth trying. Pricing is a bit higher than what you'll find at the megastores, but selection is more interesting and the product is fresher. Vinifera gets regular shipments from Junkyard, Drekker, Brewing Projekt, Drastic Measures, Oliphant, and other premier microbrewers that you can't always find at your typical mom-and-pop liquor store. They do offer a wine club (nominal pre-pay in exchange for discounts) as well as punch cards for multi-pack beers (free multi-pack after 10 purchases). Every so often you can find discounts in the local adverts. Check 'em out when you're in the western burbs. They are only 5 minutes from the 494/394 interchange.

I didn't agree with Gayle's iphone directions to their house, but drove in that direction anyway. That was a good thing, otherwise we wouldn't have seen the sign directing us to Vinifera Wines and Ales. Both Gayle and I were impressed with the wine selection, which we also found to be reasonably priced and extensive for the relatively small space. I also had a wide range of beer choices and ended up with a very tasty winter ale from Bell's. We also enjoyed the store dog, a shy brown retriever mix named Berkeley.

Sid's is one of my favorite liquor stores to acquire cheap booze (that and it's convenient since I…read morework nearby). I have a fondness for Jameson but refuse to pay over $20 bucks for a bottle, and I never do at Sid's (it always seems to be on sale, rock!). They have really good seasonal sales too, like cheap wine/champagne over the holidays (hell yeah Andre!). I didn't realize it at first but there is a refrigerated "beer cave" at the back of the store. Sid's carries more than just mass-produced brews like Bud Light and Coors Light; you can find locals like Grain Belt and Surly, but if you're looking for more obscure craft beers you might have to take your search elsewhere. Overall, they have a pretty great selection at fair prices. The staff are friendly and the store is clean and well-kept. If you're looking to save a few $$ on booze, check Sid's out.

The rolls were good but for the price and amount of crab on the roll I couldn't justify ordering it again. The corn esquites side dish was incredible and I even ordered one to go for my husband to try! I would come back for this dish alone. The crispy rice and spicy tuna was tasty as well.

They have a more of a bar food menu for HH but you can only order at the bar. We were able to slide in an order of fries. The space is nice but the menu was maybe too far out of my taste range (as a picky eater). They have a bit of a Japanese-Mexican fusion which is interesting. There used to be a place with this concept off of 394 by ridgedale mall (now it's an olive garden) but I wondered if this was the same place however this place is more upscale.
