As someone who is building my stock of spirits and accessories to practice mixology at home, I…read morereally appreciate the supply and service I received at Big Red! Note that they have a free parking lot on the north side of the building, so you don't have to pay at the meters on the street. As you enter, there is a long hallway across the front that takes you to an area designated for wine. The place is huge! I couldn't believe how many rows of wine, sorted by type, were there. Since I was looking for spirits, I began exploring the northern half of the store. I am discovering bitters for my cocktails and found a nice selection of them here. While looking, one of the staff asked if she could help. I was looking for a bottle of "Licor 43" but wasn't sure which area to look in. She went on her cash register/computer and told me it was on aisle 10 and even came over to help me look. Another employee was more familiar with the brand and went directly to it. I am not sure I would have found it on my own. After picking out a few more supplies, I checked out and was soon on my way. I really appreciated the team assistance I received from the staff. I also enjoyed the cocktail I made with the bitters and Licor 43 that evening! Review #3496

So with my other retail options in southern Terre Haute being Walmart, Kroger and maybe Walgreens,…read moreclearly Bower's 7th and 70 Liquor wins by default. But to not belittle them, if you are looking for any sort of higher end wine, this is probably one of your only options and all things considered, they have some OK options. So although maybe not a 4 star Yelp in the realm of Total Wine and giant booze stores out there on the planet, but for Terre Haute, I give it a strong 3 and thus the advantage of rounding up to a 4. If you are looking at the building, the right side door goes to the wine retailer section and the left door goes to the liquor section. Prices are reasonable and what you might expect to pay anywhere else. The wine part makes this operation unique to me. There Saturday 1PM wine tastings are really only a small sample of wine accompanied by a few bits of cheese, but I recognize the attempt. Pinot is my wheelhouse of interest and they have more interesting options than Walmart, Kroger and Walgreens by far. Elk Cove Pinot 2014 and Adelsheim Pinot 2014, both out of the Willamette Valley were my purchases today. Any place that sells labels from Oregon is a good sign. Anyway, when in the Haute, this spot will get my business for my wine dollars I would seek to spend.

If you're looking for upscale, you wouldn't be in a liquor store. Southside is your typical small…read moretown liquor store with a decent selection of mainstream stuff with a few little gems hidden around. You'll have to get past the smell of stale alcohol and wet cardboard that is the staple of any liquor store. You also may have to wade through a cloud of smoke from customers, employees and their friends taking smoke breaks outside per state law. For the most part they tend to be conscientious of where their smoke is going. They keep plenty of Three Floyds in stock and refrigerated as well as many imported beers and most of the domestics you would regularly see at a back yard bbq. They have a decent selection of liquor and some wine and a few no-so-obscure craft beers. The staff is generally friendly when I go in and I haven't had any issues with anyone being rude. Uninformed? Maybe. It depends on what you go in there expecting. If you're looking for a wine/beer/liquor snob then you may want to go elsewhere but if you want an opinion on what goes down the smoothest, tastes good, sells best, etc. then you can usually get at least a little bit of information from the staff. It's a little disheartening to see fellow Yelpers speaking so stereotypically and poorly of people based purely on their looks. It's not a surprise that the poor ratings so far have all been entered by people who thought they knew the staffs life stories based on what they thought they looked like. If you treat the people who work at Southside as human beings and equals then they will treat you the same. I have never had a bad experience in this store and that's more than I can say for at least one of the other liquor stores in town.

There's no shame, and there's a lot to like, about Southside's beer selection. They usually have…read moresomething good, even if they don't hit their full potential with the regularity I'd like. And let's face it, they beat the pants off the competition -- with the possible (and very new) exception of the Malt Shoppe (see my other review). My only complaint is that the people who work here are sometimes ill-informed and even rude. When it comes to beer in Indiana, I've gotten used to the former. And I'm pretty tolerant of the latter in isolation. But ill-informed AND rude is a combination that's hard to swallow. Oh well, I still wish them well. Craft beer is hard enough to find as it is.
