Happy Four Party Store

For a Detroit liquor store, it was pretty legit. I agree with Pavel’s description. I went alone during the day on a Saturday and felt pretty safe. Not sure how it is at night. The guys behind the counter/​plexiglas were very nice and helpful.

Shot part of a Detroit 187 episode here. Looks like it could be dangerous at night, bring a friend along if ya just gotta get 1 more bottle of Night Train!

Whoa-​ho-​ho, good thing I came along because I don’t know how many people would be qualified to rate this place through having had both Happy Four’s pizza and Happy Four’s liquor.
We came to this place one night a couple of years ago but my buddy didn’t want to go inside as there was a homeless man in a tall toque staring us down with his crazy buggy eyes. (A toque is what you Americans call a sock hat :)
We didn’t let that deter us though; the only thing it made us do was deem this liquor store the ‘Toque Toque Liquor Store.’ Since then, we have returned countless times as it is conveniently located and has some great pizza. For $ 2.50 you get a slice of pepperoni pizza that’s providing you with enough calories & fat for your entire week — gawd damn it is delicious!
As for the beer selection, there are some worthwhile finds like Original Coors, but it’s also not a home-​run beer selection as there are only 4 or 5 coolers full (of beer). Nevertheless, you can always find a cold 8 or 9% 40oz of some sort as well as something like O.G. Coors or Newcastle Brown if that type of beer is more desired.
Lastly, I’d say this place is pretty relaxed and safe overall. We’ve had homeless people hanging out asking for change, but they’re just trying to get a beer like you & I. In addition, we’ve seen kids run in to snatch & grab chocolate bars, but again, that’s not anything that really threatened our safety. In addition, our friend’s Camry was having starter problems one day and the shop owner came outside & fixed the problem in 5 minutes, then went back inside like nothing happened — the shopkeepers appear to be good people.
I wouldn’t let the rough outside appearance deter you, I’ve seen everyone from hobos, to suits, to fratboys in here & they’ve all left with a smile.
