Probably the most helpful staff around, very nice people. Very good advice when your trying to find something special for a gift or to try something new yourself. Great local business to support.

Ive had a few bad experiences. They have a fee for using a card. You can only get one bottle of the rare or new bourbon, not even multiple if theyre different brands. Was told they didnt have something in stock when I called, but when I saw online they should, I called back and they did have it in stock. But I then missed out on it, because didnt get there in time. Very disappointing experiences.As to your reply: So you also lie to customers about having something in stock? And dont put out all the bottles on the shelf? You keep them in the back.

Always the best selections in spirits and vino. As an old restaurant wine master, I appreciate a local purveyor of good wines. Keep up the great work.

Just so everyone is aware. They dont tell you, but if you use a charge card, they will charge an extra 2% processing fee on your purchase.

This liqour store has the widest variety of booze to choose from locally. The staff is also on point - knowledgeable & informative. Definitely a step up from the neighborhood shops | no plexiglass or 5-foot counter spaces. 👍🏼🤘🏼

Good selection. Friendly staff. One thing though, only friends of staff are able to get certain bourbons. We all know which bourbons!

Many many many selections! Just pick your poison! Very good prices too! Came out with a 5th of my favorite bourbon which I use mainly in my BBQ for under $18 including tax!

From out of town. Used to frequent the area. They have a decent selection. But, since I’m from out of town I was stocking up. The product I was stocking up on was priced differently on the shelf than what it was ringing up as. They would not honor the shelf price, so yea. That adds up when you’re buying in large quantities. My only complaint, really.

This is a great location for wine beer and spirits! Since it is a dedicated store the selection is extremely good. There is a particular beer that I like and cannot find, Lakes beverage ordered it in for me and was competitively priced. The folks here are always friendly.

Tuesday April 21 at 11:45 am I was harassed by Jeff the Manager. Let me explain. As usual Jeff was holding all allocated Bourbon in the back room instead of just putting it out so customers don’t have to ask him and get snapped at week after week. That I can put behind me but on this particular day I was accused of having Covid 19 and infecting him his employee’s and other customers. All this because I asked if any new Bourbon was available, and on this particular day he said in fact he did receive the Bourbon I was looking for and he refused to sell me the Alcohol. I have been a long time customer and spend plenty of money on Craft Beer, Expensive Scotch and Bourbon. I have already contacted the Better Business Bureau and wrote a more in depth report on what happened.

Favorite hole in the wall gem with a large beer selection and knowledgeable bartenders. Cozy and fun- you might make a new best friend at the bar. Outside area is dog friendly.

Review №25

Huge beverage store. Had what I was looking for at 3 other stores and not only had plenty of it but 4 different choices. Its the best beverage store in the South Akron/North Canton area. I travel far to frequent them, flag I found it. They were recommended by a few friends local to the area.

A solid selection of craft beer, imports, and liquor. I cant speak on the wine selection since I never buy the stuff. The store is easy to miss since its hard to see from South Main St. I literally drove by it for over a year during my commute before I noticed it

Good liquor store. Clean with friendly, helpful employees. Craft beer is a little pricey compared to grocery stores. They have a pretty good selection though. They also have a pretty large selection of wine and liquor.

I was a little surprised at how good the selection is. Its a little out of the way and in an unassuming shopping center, but carries a wide array including some unique bitters and mixers.

Review №46

Good selection, knowledgeable and courteous staff, clean and well organized, and easy to get around inside.They have a much wider selection than the liquor store inside the Giant Eagle Market District in Green (which has a decent selection itself).The Ohio liquor control laws limit what is available to individual stores.Within these limitations, Lakes Beverage seems to do a great job of stocking a diverse selection of liquors from inexpensive through interesting mid-range offerings and more expensive, unusual, and harder to find bottles.

Don’t bother shopping here. They advertise they have something and then when you drive 25 miles they say it’s reserved for certain vendors. There is some shady stuff going on here

What is your poison? They have to have it! From hard liquor to beer and wine their selection has been great. They also carry the staples you may need to make many drinks such as supplies, lemonds, limes etc. They offer beer growler fills too. Parking is plentiful but the lot needs attention (not the fault of the business). Easy access to the building and to the stock inside (nice size asiles). Staff is always friendly and helpful too. Worth the trip from Canton in my opinion!

Its Toys R Us for adults! This is a fairly large store with a huge selection to satisfy pretty much anybodys craving for alcohol. Beer, wine, liquor... they all have a wide selection to choose from here. Im a Jack Daniels fan and have seen some rare items here that I couldnt find anywhere else outside of Tennessee.

Make a wesite!!! They dont cost that much. It is 2018 for another 2 months. There are cell phones more powerful than computers of 10 years ago and Robots on Mars. Catch up mane! Great selection of beer both mainstream and microbrew. Spirit selection is better than most other places.
