I just sat in my car by the liquor store and watched all the people stumbling into the store and stumbling out on a Monday at that..big city life! That was me all the time… now I watch Others However my little story has no reflection on the actual liquor store it’s actually quite lovely and well put together and the staff is nice
I like the people working here and their selection of bourbon. Wish they wouldn’t have been repeatedly looted. Great spot and they don’t jack up the elusive bourbon prices like other stores. Xoxo
Go here if you want to have 3 separate employees stalk you and watch you shop. Sad that micro-aggressions like this are still happening nowadays. Really sad because the store looks nice and the cashier had great customer service. Will not be shopping here again.
Well stocked, very clean but they have a weird attachment to their boxes and only ration 3 boxes per requester just in case one of their customers needs a box for their booze. They had stacks of boxes. Just thought it was odd.Other than that its a very nice, upper end liquor store.
Ever since moving to Uptown 6 years ago I have enjoyed coming to this store. The employees are always helpful and non-intrusive. Small store but has everything one would need. Very welcoming and LGBTQ Friendly.
Pretty big selection of beers and liquor. I thought staff was friendly and fast. Prices are pretty reasonable so this place is my go to liquor store in the uptown area
Great neighborhood liquor store. Do not let the smaller footprint fool you as they have an excellent selection of everything from beer, liquor and wine. Wine reps on premises to assist in your selection and they really know their industry! Give them a visit and you will be pleased.
Great wine selection, beer selection could be better though. Very convenient Uptown spot
Is one of the few stores open during all the S#$T in Murderapolis over the last year.
Nice liquor store with a solid selection. Great staff
First of all the place has horrible customer service, second of all do any of them change their clothes.
Great and friendly staff.
Good selection, wish they didnt close so early
Small but loaded with a lot of varieties and reasonable prices!
Good place, but poor customer service.
Very knowledgeable about wines. Great prices and selection.
Great staff very helpful and knowledgeable. Great selection of beverages.
Ive been going here for years, but have relied on their curbside pickup during the Covid19 pandemic. They are so helpful, friendly and fast. Ready in about five minutes. Nick and Chris are two names I remember as extremely kind and helpful, although everyone else is the just as nice. People work here for a long time, so my guess is they are treated well by the owner/employer. It shows. Fair prices too. Thank you HLLS!
It’s a liquor store that has moonshine! I went two two other stores after having to do a google search for stores that had it, which they didnt have any. But I walked right in this store a rep asked if we needed anything special today and I asked for moonshine and the dude was so nice! Easy peasy in and out experience, just the way I like it.
Nice place and nice staff.
Helpful staff. Good selection for the size of the store. May be slightly more expensive for some items but not much. I was always able to find what I needed. Good selection of sodas and mixing things for cocktails.
Great local liquor store, though they have odd hours. But ask anyone for help, theyre insanely nice and knowledgeable!
Theyve got a great selection, with good prices. I can generally find a bomber of something special, to go with whatever whiskey Im picking up. Its also conveniently located, has parking, and the staff are friendly.
OK so we were visitting Minneapolis for the first time and found this liquor store close to a Cubs through Google maps.A familiar single malt, Glen Moray, for
Great selection. I was able to find my hard to find sours there and that completely made my night. Staff was helpful. Worth stopping by if youre in the area.
Great place!!
Convenient. Inexpensive. But also, quite possibly the least pleasant liquor store to go to in Minneapolis... which is saying a lot
Awesome establishment. Wide verities of liquor and spirits. They also host liquor drink samples
They now enforce (gouge) a 10 dollar minimum on card purchases. Heads up if all you wanted was a cheap sixer. Before that they were one of my fave local liquor stores. They do have a great beer/wine selection.
Great place!!! Phil, Chris and Nick are the best!! Would highly recommend for a great selection of wine worth talking about! Good prices too.
Love it! Cash or check is sweet! All the hatters complaining they can’t use their credit or debit cards. Think about it! You need to think about the savings passed on and the fact that this place is holding its own and it is one of the only places that are standing up to the CC companies for their fees. 3-10% tacked on to every purchase for everyone because you can’t pay with cash. Get real an stop being a selfish complainer. Stop mentioning it to them at the counter too, they are aware of it and they don’t do it for a reason.Great Wine selection, I always grab a bottle on my way out through the stacks of booze.I’ve never had bad service, in fact the opposite. I’ve always had someone around I could ask a question an the checkout has always been fast and friendly.
They carry all the types of cider my girlfriend likes and they have a good selection of Surlys
Gonna be working there soon. Enjoy the area. Enjoy the service.
Well-stocked, reasonably priced, and friendly. What more could you ask for?
Best service and prices on Champagne
Good service and decent selection, they are a little cheaper than the other small shops and the atmosphere is a lot better than bigger shops. Go here before you go to MGM or Chi-Lake for sure.
The Owner is awesome! Thank you for the cigar!!!
Looks great with the remodel.
Unsafe! Crowded store. No masks on employees and no plexiglass. Shame on you.
Good selection of wines, from a wide variety of regions. Helpful and knowledgeable staff.
This is where to go if youre Uptown, no frills, no bs,just booze and an awesome staff. The selection of wines caters to the newbie as well as the afficinado at the lowest prices in town, same with beer, same with spirits. Thats what a liquor store is supposed to do, right? Whats also nice is the price point, expect to see at least a $3 difference in your favorite beverage against competing area spirit shops. Cant miss the location, but they close early, best advice go before 7pm to be safe. Dont want to spend alot but get that you want and look like you did... here you go.
Friendly staff make a difference!After making a small purchase I was contacted with a friend to get something else. The team here processed my return and exchange with no questions and even gift wrapped the wine I swapped in for no cost. The staff (multiple people helped me out) are quite friendly and familiar with the store they work in and deserve a good rating.
Very very courteous and have everything you need
Just fine for a city liquor store. Limited selection, funny nice employees. Lived nearby went there half the time for convenience
A lot of variety, especially wine. Prices are good for the neighborhood
LOVE the staff. Good selection, too!
Big sparkling wine sale at the end of December, including unbelievable discounts on some top-shelf French champagnes
Good prices, good service, good selection... cant complain!
Interesting selection of hard to find spirits, yet missing some staples. Still, its the best liquor store in the Uptown area.
Decent prices and like the location.
Great wine and Spirits selections. A little lacking in the beer department, but still fine.
Great customer service. I found the wine that I was searching all over the sea for in this liquor store and it was $10 cheaper then I normally pay for it
Good prices and selection.
Awesome staff and decent prices. That coupled with a great location make me enjoy coming when I need to pick something up.
The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. I wish they had room for more craft beer varieties.
Terrible prices and bad parking. Great place if you dont want to get carded!
Best prices Ive found.
Cheap because the workers are paid peanuts and treated like garbage. Take it from an ex-employee, the owning family makes bank while sitting on their ass and treating their employees like less than nothing. The turnover rate is two months for a reason. Dont support such a terrible business model.The owner Phil is nice to you if you are a customer who looks like they have money. He will schmooze and drink wine with you for hours in his checkout area. His son Nick is a nice guy but doesnt seem to recognize how much of his life he was handed by pure luck of being born in the right family. Me and my coworkers once had to stay 15 (UNPAID) minutes late so he could continue to sweet talk a couple into buying a bottle of whiskey.
Bought the puro agave epsilon tequila Blanco in this bih.... Good service #stayup
The goat 🐐 best prices around the area and Id know lol
Wonderful staff, great wine selection, and my roommate loves the prices on their beer
Lots of wine selections. Very reasonable price range. And staff is very friendly.
Convenient location in uptown and a large selection
Literally just called asking about the Yamazaki 12. Its a very hard whiskey to find. Theres a whiskey list for it, but to get on the list I need to come in and get to know Nick.. You cant be added unless you get on his good side apparently. Thats BS and terrible customer service
Kind and helpful staff. Great wine selection.
I picked up a couple of drizzly orders and they were very efficient. The guy even wrote the apt code on my box so it would be available when I delivered.
We came in a few min before they closed the door. They were still very nice. However pretty unprofessional.
Decent selection of delights, very nice and enjoyable staff
My old go to for wine and spirits. Rackem and stackem. Its got personality though
No credit/debit cards and mediocre prices! Its 2011, what business doesnt take a visa card these days? In addition, who the heck carries around cash anymore? They have a really small sign saying cash only as you walk in that you can barely see. They advertise as having the lowest prices in Minnesota, however after I left to go to Chicago-Lake Liquor, I ended up paying about five dollars less. Another annoyance are the staff members they have standing in every aisle watching you like a hawk to make sure you dont steal anything. I understand theft from liquor stores can be high, but there are other ways to prevent it than intimidating your customers.
Having been here a few times over the years, I feel confident in saying that this is the worst liquor store Ive had the misfortune of patronizing. This was the closest liquor store to my house for a year, but we would consistently drive down to Chi-Lake Liquors instead.As mentioned, the no cards policy is hilariously out of date. Whats even more weird is that theyll take a check! I cant remember anywhere else, especially a liquor store, that will still do that.I can deal with that policy, I suppose, but this place is NOT the cheapest in town. Okay, whatever. But the service itself was atrocious - I realize these kids have to deal with some of the biggest douchebags in the city (comes with the territory in this part of town), but you shouldnt make it seem like youre doing me a favor to ring me up.Topping it off, the store itself is ridiculously packed full of cases of wine. I cant speak to their selection as Im not really a wine drinker, but its tough to even navigate the place, and lord help you if theres more than one person trying to make their way through an aisl.To be totally honest, I havent been here in at least two years because I promised myself I would never give this store another dollar of my money, so its possible things have changed.
Friendly staff. Great selection
Nice neighborhood store great selection helpful staff
Cool vibe with an extensive selection of wines, fine wines, beer and spirits.
Awesome place
Excellent Selection of Craft Brews!!
These folks know their stuff and prove it every day. Friendliest helpful staff in the biz.
Nice people, nice prices. Win win for me
Not an amazing selection of beer, pretty decent for wine. Fair prices.
Great resently remodled liquor store that delivers and convenient
Got beer and bourbon. Worked out great
Knowledgeable, friendly staff with reasonable prices for the area.
To the owner: time for a huge makeover. Not sure who the owner is, but I was explained the first time I went in that credit cards are not accepted. Being the General Manager of a store myself, I check on reviews every few weeks to see what we can do better and ACT ON IT if at all possible. Seeing as there have been reviews for TWO YEARS about how much not having credit card service at this locaiton sucks, I am shocked that the owner has not taken this into consideration. Its not exactly the most MODERN consideration in the world. To top it off, the service is moderate at best. Would recommend LAKE WINE AND SPIRITS, which is like night and day, especially compared to this place. The only reason I give the quality a good is because it IS better in beer selection compared to some, such as Minnehaha Warehouse Liquors on Lake & Minnehaha.
Good priced liquor although someone did a hit and run to my parked car in their lot and staff were not able to assist me
I would gladly spend 3% more on wine/beer/liquor to save myself a trip thru the sludge and snow to get cash from the grocery store. What about all the bank fees Phils unknowing customers have to pay to get cash out of an ATM that isnt their banks?I dont care about attitude or attractiveness of the Henn-Lake employees, however, its unethical for a business to expect (a virtual requirement) its suppliers to work regularly on the floor in the evenings helping customers. I await the lawsuit when one of these reps gets injured in the store.Not to mention the biased service it provides Henn-Lakes customers when most the floor staff are actually employees of the distributors.
Always very friendly service. A bit snarky at times, but friendly.
Good service and price is ok
They do in fact take cards now, and their prices arent the best but theyre not that bad. Selection is pretty good.
They take credit/debit the reviews must be older that are posted... anyway great liquor store with great pirices and wonderful customer service!
An uptown institution. Great prices and selection, if a little cramped
Wonderful, huge wine selection
It was so packed in the store that it was hard to get around. Not a bad place, just too crowded with product for me.
Great high end wine selection
Great location, friendly employees, but rather limited supplies on some things like champagne choices.
Good neighhood liquor store
I asked for cold duck they said they hadnt had any in years. so i looked and quickly found a shelf full of it. retards.
I mean what can I say...it’s a liquor store. The only downfall is that there are random people asking for money, or cigarettes.
The morning cashier steals smoke and liquor
So knowledgable and authentic love the place ! Been going there since I was a little girl with my dad and now its my place to shop at . Thank you for the memories !
Their selection of tall boy 6 packs is just marvelous. Hamms, Lonestar, Old style, you name it and they have it.
