Although located in a strip mall, the place feels like you have stepped into a collector's cellar. Warm wood toned shelves and a quiet stillness inside make it feel like an enchanted alcohol library. It was awesome to see a fair number of elite beers even in the coolers so I could have one right when I got home. In addition to some of the best selections from American micro breweries, I found numerous gems from Belgium, France, Italy, and Germany. I was asked if I had any questions within a few minutes of arriving. I was tempted to ask how this place was located in Rockford, IL. There will never be a trip through Rockford where I won't stop here again.

It looks shady going in. Prices are super high. 200$ for blantons, 449$ for weller 12, $549 barrel proof eh Taylor. More than double secondary market. Too rich for my blood. A lot of items don't have pricing so you have to ask. Kind of a pain. Even items on the shelf.

I've been a customer of Royal Liquor for several years. Since the owner isn't on the premises the…read morecustomer service isn't very good. If you don't care that the manager is only concerned about money and not his service you'll be ok. I am a loyal customer and a community servant but his attitude makes me feel like a criminal. I'm insulted by his lack of care for his personal relationship with customers. The owner shouldn't have him as his representative. If you don't care how you're treated as a loyal customer then Royal Mart on E State on the Miracle Mile is for you. gm

We went to pay and we found out that they don't take any credit cards except Discover and they take cash or check or debit card.

I just don't know any stores that don't take visa or Mastercard and I think that's a poor choice..

I have yet to find anywhere in Rockford to carry such rare and unique finds than Cork, Keg & Spirits. They carry anything you would want, be it wine, whiskey, beer, or anything else. If you can find it elsewhere, you'll probably find it for cheaper, but many things that they carry are not find-able in any store in the area. They keep their store clean and approachable, and also offer many events such as wine and whiskey tastings, which are very worth it.

Not to mention a large variety of event spaces too. Turns out this is a prohibition era brewery! So cool! We ordered the cheese curd appetizer and it was delicious. Lightly breaded, crispy and flavorful! Followed those up with the Ruben. Fantastic! Loads of corned beef and sour kraut on delicious rye bread with house made thousand island dressing! My wife had their American burger and that was excellent too! Perfectly cooked, tomato, lettuce, thick cut pickles, and cheese!

I ordered a flight so I could sample many. The samples were large. The food was excellent. Menu options extend beyond typical pub fare. We started with the fried pickle chips which were actual chips and not pickle spears like some places offer. I ordered the POKE BOWL WITH KOREAN FRIED CHICKEN. It was super delicious. You can't beat the outdoor seating with river view, unless it was hot like when we visited. We opted for indoor seating in the cooled environment. Staff was excellent.
