Shock and awe. I've…read morebeen doing the dirty around these parts for a little over a year now and it wasn't until just a few weeks ago that I finally made the trip in to what looks like some cruddy, run-down, sad-sad, liquor store in a mostly vacant and/or abandoned Palatine strip mall and I was blown away with a selection of sauces that would put a smirk on even a novice boozehound and/or liquor-pig. Shame.On.Me. I'll just say this up front, I don't know jack sh*t about wine. It's not really my thing, and I'm happy just going with whatever bottle has the best artwork and still manages to remain nominally priced. Basically, they might have a great or crappy wine selection, but I couldn't tell you. They had that Barefoot stuff, though... that's the classy one, right? Where this place shines is fo sho its beer selection. It's not huge, but they carry a lot of pretty rare stuff and a bunch of the stuff the other big box booze stores don't have. They do set limits on certain things, like maximum 2 per person on some bottle, but honestly, I'm a sucker for supply and demand so that kind of thing really excites me. Their selection is always changing and they're open later than any of the other bottled booze purveyors in this area. It's probably not a destination place, but if you're within a 12-15 minute range of here, it's worth popping over for a peak at their products.

I don't know if anyone's reading reviews of liquor stores, but I want to say nice things about Mr…read more A's, because I love buying booze here. Sometimes you go into a liquor store and it's just grim, grim, grim, with creepy lighting, dusty shelves, and cashiers that look like they want to die and they wish you were dead too. Mr. A's is the total OPPOSITE. It's clean, has a great selection of alcohol, mixers, and snacks, and yeah, I guess the lighting isn't creepy because I've never really noticed it? I typically just see two employees here, one of whom I think might be the Mr. A! He is extremely warm and friendly and always smiling. The second man is a little more reserved but always very nice and polite. There is this adorable little black dog one of them has, that's kind of the store mascot it seems. There are rather professional looking photos of him/her around the store, greeting customers and making recommendations. I think that's a nice touch. I wish the actual dog could be in the store-how awesome would it be to have a little pooch helping you make a wine selection? Only thing that would make the place better, in my opinion.

God forbid you forget your ID the manager will tell you not to comeback for laughing. I went to the…read morecashier and was asked for my ID when I was not paying, I'm 24, the cashier asked for my ID which I told him I didn't have and told him I would leave if needed, he then called over his manager and made the situation way bigger than it needed to be. The manger asked me and my friend to leave and we left without and issue, but we laughed which was a huge mistake because the little guy in the front told us "if you're going to laugh don't come back" to which I responded "it's not that serious" and he made a gesture for us to leave. Clearly mad to be working on a Sunday night. Very unprofessional

So I decided to look at the bourbons as I was looking for a sweeter taste vs a smoky flavor. As I was walking around, nothing really jumped at me so I decided to roam the store. Then out of nowhere, a bourbon was on a counter that I really like and have been meaning to purchase and hard to find. Typically, it generally flies off the shelves due to its nice cost, and great flavors. It has that nice blend of caramel and honey. I was able to grab it and the staff and I spoke about the bottles for a little while. The staff is knowledgeable and are happy to answer any questions. Prices are great and it is a one stop shop of all your needs. I highly recommend this location as they are very nice and welcoming.

I had hoped to find a specific bourbon, but they didn't carry it. As I looked around, it dawned on me that Papa's is more of a convenience store that carries liquors, beer, and wine. Had I known that before going in, I may have gone elsewhere. Since by name, they are a liquor store, I am comparing them to other liquor stores I visit and unfortunately, they don't hold a candle to many of them. But if you need something quick and easy, this would be a fair place to get what you need.
