Luckily I heard about so decided to check it out one evening on the way home... First impression at 9pm on a Friday night? Little sketchy looking from the parking lot, haha. But inside! O-M-G. Literal craft beer lovers dream shop. I spent a lot of time wandering, seeing beers I had looked for high and low but never finding with plenty of availability here (Death by Coconut, KBS to name just a couple). Lots of great local and national craft selection here. The owner has a special shelf that he brings out cellar aged beers every day, and you're always likely to find something interesting there. The store clerks have always been super helpful, letting me know what they just got in fresh that day, what might be coming up and to keep an eye out for, something interesting or rare they just got in, or picking out a brew that matches the style I'm looking for. The only downside is it's really hard to leave there without spending all my $ :)

My husband found this gem liquor store long ago. They are tucked next to the bakery in a ho-hum…read morelocation you might not know was there unless you were specifically looking for them. They are a small store and if you're looking for wine or spirits, they have a pretty standard selection. However, if you're looking for specialty beer, this is your place. They have so many rare or more difficult to find beers and really focus on local and craft brews. We always find something we've never seen before when we come here. Staff are also very friendly and helpful if you're looking for something specific.

The wine selection is not…read moreextensive, but they stock the most popular brands and the prices are lower than what I've seen elsewhere. The beer selection is pretty good, including things such as hard cider. They also stock items for Asian cooking that you can't find at most Minnesota liquor stores, such as mirin (Japanese cooking wine) and authentic umeshu (100% plum wine). The owners are very friendly as well, often reminding customers that they have a 10% discount on Tuesdays. So far this is the only place in the Twin Cities I've found that stocks real mirin (United Noodles stocks no alcoholic ingredients, and a certain reputable wine/liquor store in Nordeast had no idea what I was talking about), so I will continue to patronize this shop after I leave the area.

You can totally tell that they eat a lot of hot-dish and so forth... ya know, all those Minnes-o-tan stereotypes. Okay, onto the review. Upon first look you would assume that this place is perilously small and couldn't possibly have a good selection of liquor. And you would be almost right. You definitely aren't going to find any specialized liquor in here, nor any super high end stuff. But they have a really good selection, and let you create your own six-packs of beer which is nice, because who amongst us hasn't thought it would be sweet to have more than one flavor of beer when you get home without having 24 bottles to find a place for? All in all, this place is clean, the people are friendly (borderline TOO friendly), and the prices are reasonable. Yay for my alcoholism!

I've…read morebeen going here for the better part of a decade, and have always LOVED my experiences with Steve, Kevin, and Paul, but now they've got a new owner. I've met you, fella, and you seem like an intelligent owner, save for the folks you have staffed (the place looks better than ever). Every time I go in, *if* I get a "hello", it's always forced and disingenuous. When I make it to the counter, 95% of the time, those who are working one of the few registers make it plainly clear that they've got no real desire to be there in the first place; they're normally communing with eachother in a less than work appropriate fashion, or holding up the check out process due to the chatter with their outside of work acquaintances. One of the employees even responded "Why??" When asked to come cover another register when things were busy last weekend. I've heard more than my fair share of inappropriate banter, and frankly, am sick and tired of returning to the most convenient liquor store in my area, just to be regarded as a nuisance to whatever it is I'm becoming an inconvenience towards. Not only that, but on more than one occasion, it's been abundantly apparent that some of these "employees" have been more than just absent minded, they've been obviously high on something that a drug test would never allow any hiring process to continue...anywhere. I used to be happy to pay a couple extra dollars to support a local business, but these days, I find myself driving further to places like Cub Liquors or Morelli's on the east side to have a much better (and cheaper) experience. I'm sorry if I came off as an absolute jerk, but this is my home town liquor store. The truth needs to be heard. It truly pains me to leave this review.
