I'm the type of guy that usually picks up a six pack at the grocery store while I'm there or heads to the liquor store near my house when I want something a bit different. So why venture all the way to Plainfield? Well, I was on the hunt for a few specific items I hadn't been able to find elsewhere and this was my last shot before trying Kahn's or ordering online. And what do you know - they had exactly what I needed!
The place looks a little rough outside, but I was delighted to find rows and rows of bottles shining in the brightly lit aisles of this surprisingly large store. The liquor selection was great and they had the exact bottle of lychee liqueur I needed to make cocktails for an upcoming Chinese New Year party. I didn't take a ton of time to look at the other offerings, but the whiskey section seemed to be a good size and there looked to be plenty of cold beer in the fridges. I also browsed the wines and managed to find my wife's favorite that we've been having trouble finding anywhere else! So obviously this guy bought a few bottles to score some valuable husband points!
It also looked like there were plenty of employees working with a few at the registers and others helping customers find things or stocking shelves. Checkout was quick and friendly, so no complaints there. Really, this might be my new go-to when I'm looking for something more than a six pack from the grocery! read more
