I've been to Total Wine & More twice, and both experiences have been top-notch. Last year, I…read morevisited to grab a bottle of wine from one of my favorite rock 'n' rollers' brand, and the store had it in stock. This year, I called ahead to ask about wine and beverage cups, and was pleasantly surprised to speak to a real, live person who not only confirmed they had what I was looking for but also told me exactly which aisle it was in. It's refreshing to get that kind of personal touch, especially in a place that might seem like just another big-box store. Located on the south side of West Towne Mall, it's easy to find, well-stocked, and the service goes above and beyond. I'll definitely keep coming back!

I get torn. I love to root for the little guy - the family-owned business making their way. That…read moreusually puts me square against the big chains driving them out of business. However. Total Wine & More really does a good job providing a wide array of products for a great price. I've been here several times and never leave disappointed (except for one thing that I'll mention later). Their employees know their products and can make smart recommendations based on what you're looking for. Samples? Yes please! At one visit, an employee pointed out a good whiskey that he thought I'd like. Lo and behold, it was one of the samples, so I was able to "try before I buy". I like that. On another visit, I was lured into a back room for a tequila tasting. Not liking, I tried to decline, but was convinced to give them a try - and I was not disappointed. Also, I like how at the front of the store they have racks of "airplane bottles" - small "samplers" that you can buy to try out various products. Again - I like this idea. It was a way for me to try peanut butter whiskey without sinking too much into a larger bottle... So yeah - they're the big guy on the block, but I like the service they provide, and the deals that I get. I would LOVE it if they were able to track down a bottle of Thomas Tew rum. This is a personal goal of mine (I have my reasons), but I understand they are a small brand only found on the east coast. Someday...

Stop reading this review now and USE UAL FOR YOUR WEDDING. I had spent so many hours figuring out…read morewhat to purchase, who to use, and what to buy, when what I should have done is go to Herb in the first place. Herb is AMAZING at what he does, he provided clear and concise emails that helped me figure out the kegs I wanted to use for my wedding, the wine, and he even provided other items such as ice, tubs, soda, and water. He was great to communicate with, wonderful to work with, and such a nice person. After all of the stress from other vendors and my venue it was such a relief to speak with him and receive amazing informative emails with all of the information and options laid out so it was easy to choose. Please use UAL for your wedding or party needs. (he also picks up and delivers which was a great help)

Wisconsin Brewing Company was founded in 2013 while my family was still living in Madison, and…read morerecently underwent a change to be called Lake Louie Brewing. My wife and I stopped in for dinner, and found it to be a good experience. An original founder was Kirby Nelson, who had become very well known in the area (during a time when craft brewing was just starting out), spending many years as head brew master at nearby Capital Brewery (a brewery I knew very very well, considering I worked nearby and had many work related events at their seasonal biergarten). I distinctly remember when they were building this location out in the middle of nowhere, and stopped in multiple times in the early years. In 2019, it merged with with Lake Louie Brewing (another smaller brewery whose beers I really liked). In 2023, it consolidated all of its beers under the Lake Louie moniker, including renaming this location. I hadn't stopped by since that had happened, so was looking forward to visiting for dinner during our second night of our Midwest road trip. They have a large outdoor dining areas, with nice views of the pond and some people were taking advantage. But it was dusk, and the mosquitos were out, so we chose inside seating. It was Wednesday, which meant they had $12 pitchers of any draft beers (which is a great deal). Instead, we ordered a flight ($12 for 4 pours) letting the bartender choose: Kiss the Lips, Badger Club, Warped Speed, Oktoberfest. Warped Speed was my favorite beer (Scotch ale) from the original Lake Louie before it got bought, and it didn't disappoint. The Wednesday special is a $12 small cheese and pepperoni pizza from JonnyO's (located in Belleville which isn't that close), and it's a decent size (enough for two people). We had to try it, but I wouldn't do it again. The price is outstanding, but the time to wait is too long. It is ordered and paid via kiosk. Basically, it's delivery and took exactly 1 hour for the pizza to be delivered. The pizza was OK, and would have been good if served fresh...but it tasted like a pizza that had been made 45 minutes ago and delivered. Definitely better when busier...my guess is that they waited for my pizza until the last possible minute for other orders to come in, and when it didn't, delivered it to meet the 1 hour promise time. I also got a pint of the Tart Lime Twist ($6) which went great with the pizza. We really liked the Tart Lime so got a 4 pack of that ($6) and my favorite (Warped Speed for $6), to bring back to California. The service was good throughout, and they used Square for their payment processing.

We grabbed a table in the spacious bar/ restaurant section. The staff was friendly and helpful. I tried one of their many beers which was quite good. My wife ordered the carnitas burrito which was large and tasty. I opted for the chicken wings which were different since they were just coated in a rub and not in a sauce. I got the extra spicy rub with a side of the jalapeño dipping sauce. They were good though a bit small and I prefer ones coated in a sauce. The wings' price was very good at one dollar each. Most places charge way more for wings these days. It would be fun to stop here when the weather is nice to sit outside on their patio.

They had a fun story about looking at the ceiling and the dollar bills up there. The waitresses were so kind and helped my son try to toss his dollar bill up there. He was easily entertained for about 15 minutes. I'd come back!
