Great staff. The only thing I could dock them on is they are a bit pricier than other stores in the neighborhood, but the staff makes up for it.

You definitely pay for convenience. And I do, frequently . At least now the staff is more friendly. Prior to covid, it was a bit like ordering soup in a Seinfeld episode.

Love this place. The workers are super friendly and helpful. If youre having trouble deciding, they will give you an honest opinion without being pushy. I also appreciate the wide variety of beer that they carry, and build-your-own 6 packs.

They got a good beer selection, but the customer service is geared to the rude customers....... So a lot of stereotypes are being used.

Popped in while visiting from out of town. Interacted with a few staff who were all kind and knowledgeable. The selection of craft beer and spirits was impressive and we found lots of local stuff we couldnt get at home to try. They even had a fresh hop beer canned 2 days prior.

This place has been a long time N. E. Institution. To see old photos its hard to imagine that its the same place. Large and airy with easy to maneuver aisles filled with a huge selection of product. The craft beer selection has exploded in the last few years under manager Todds steady hand. Prices pretty standard, and the staff for the most part are, if not friendly are helpful.

Review №60

Staff is great and very knowledgeable. Selection across the board is pretty sweet. Tons of bombers and craft, great liquor selection including a great selection of local distilling. Wine selection is petite, but they offer a lot of gems at different price points. Overall my favorite liquor store in or around NE Minneapolis.

Review №77

A great small liquor store. The employees clearly care about helping out and making sure you have a good experience. Aside from one thing (Effen vodka) they have all the stuff Im looking for and plenty of other things I dont know yet to give a try. Small enough to feel personal but big enough to have anything you need, stop by some time!

Review №78

A bit rough around the edges, but cheap and with an ok selection. This place is great for stocking up for a party: cheap beer in high quantity, but still a solid selection of craft offerings.

Review №79

Nice place quick and always have a shot of something for you to try..love it, and I must say the girl on the second shift and hand out the shots makes you want to go in the place even if you dont drink.. # shots all around .....

Overall I like this location. Staff is always nice, good customer service, and they often have distributors there with free samples. Do note that this is a dog friendly store if you have allergies or are scared of dogs. There seem to be frequent issues with the chip readers on the credit card machines (which happens everywhere). I have witnessed a few instances of customers being very hostile or aggressive toward others with no intervention from staff. Im doubt thats something that is really in the scope of their job descriptions but management might consider a code of conduct policy. I wont be coming here any more for this reason despite the nice selection of brews, cleanliness, and great customer service.

Variety of local beer is amazing. It also has its own parking lot, which is nice because the area is pretty busy. Friendly staff as well. As a 22 year old, it feels a little hostile, but most liquor stores do.
