I thought the variety of liquor was poor and leaned towards the lower end of quality and price point. With that being said, my local grocer beats them on price. I was not impressed with the mixers, garnishes and bar accessories, too. However, they did have an extensive selection of beer and the prices were good. For me, a cocktail snob, I'll make the drive to Edwardsville or Saint Louis for a better liquor store.

I was on my way to a dinner party and needed a chilled bottle of wine. The menu included grilled…read morechicken and grilled shrimp, so a cold bottle of Pino Grigio is what I needed and wanted. When I entered Top Shelf, I saw the coolers along the left side of the store. I immediately strolled over to that side of the store. As I walked along the coolers, I only saw beer. The coolers wrapped around the back of the store, too and I still only saw beer. I reversed my steps and looked again at all the coolers. Once again, I found no wine. As I was ready to exit the store, I stopped at the cashier and asked, "Do you not have chilled wine?" She said, "Yes, it's over here in the cooler." To my surprise, there was a single cooler on the right side of the store and it was filled with chilled wine and champagne. She lead me back to the cooler and talked about the variety of the other wines we passed. I found the perfect wine and it was cheaper than the store I normally buy my wine. I was impressed with the personalized customer service. The variety of merchandise and their pricing is also, impressive. I'd say, Top Shelf is, a Top Notch liquor store.

We stopped into the Edwardsville location for a quick visit, picking up a bottle of red (from Australia) and a bottle of white (from New Zealand), along with some other stuff. I really liked how the wine sections were organized with large ceiling signs, allowing us to focus on specific types and then narrow it down by price and ratings. Checkout was a snap, with friendly, helpful cashiers.

One of my coworkers has been telling me about this shop/bar for years and I finally had a chance to…read morestop by and do a wine tasting recently. They had 2 sessions for the wine tasting - the first hour was with the winemaker and after that, people were free to stop in to do the tasting at the own pace. It's a small space, so with people lingering after the first tasting, things were pretty cozy, but we found a spot to squeeze in at the bar. The bartender was very nice and got us through the tasting quickly. I would definitely come back to do another tasting again sometime or just order a glass of wine a la carte! Also a great place to stop if you need to pick up a bottle of wine for a party!

Let me start off saying, you cannot go wrong buying your meats from their butcher case. If you're…read moregrilling, or entertaining, this is where you want to buy your meats. You'll be thrilled with a Ribeye, Brat or a pound of Ground Beef. Their chicken will even win you over and you'll be talk of the town. Everyone will be talking about your meat. Now, I want to tell you about their hot prepared foods counter. If you are lazy and don't want to cook, come and select from the variety of meats and side dishes. I've enjoyed; Pork Steak, Chicken Breast, Meat Loaf, Ribs and Hamburger. My sides have been, Mac-n-Cheese, Greet Beans, Scalloped Potatoes and Baked Beans. None have been disappointing, except for the cheese on the burger. I was just a cold slice of American Cheese placed on top. I did a little zap in the microwave to get it to melt a little when I got it home. The service is friendly and attentive. The reason they lose a star from me is one employee, is not so friendly. She's middle-aged and has the personality of a wet rag. I cringe when she is the one assisting me at the counter. When assisted by other employees it is an entire different experience. I will return and hope that I do not get the negative lady and hopefully be able to raise them back up to 5 Stars.
