Quality Liquors

It’s true, as other reviewers have commented, that this place looks a little like The Liquor Store That Time Forgot. Or maybe like the apartment of an alcoholic hoarder.
But except for an ancient bottle or two of heaven-​knows-​what-​horrifying-​liqueur, the stock itself is new and clean, and obviously well-​selected. The beer selection is especially good, with good representation from midwestern craft breweries. The prices are a little bit higher than they would be at Binny’s or Jewel, but I expect that from a small storefront operation like this.
When the former manager Steve was still around, I would have given this place at least four stars. We live in the neighborhood and like supporting local small businesses. And Steve was chatty and friendly, knew tons about wine, and gave great recommendations. If he got something in stock that he knew we would like, he often put some aside for us for our next visit. (And Mike the stock guy – not sure if he still works there – was always super friendly and helpful, too!)
Sadly, the new manager is actively unfriendly to the point of outright rudeness. So now we check in occasionally in case any interesting beer has appeared, but try to shop elsewhere for most of our booze.

Cori C. is totally right about the selection and about the layer of dust covering everything. It’s like there was some sort of apocalypse and you’re walking out of the bomb shelter for the 1^st time in 10 years.
The 4 stars is for the service. The single employee, an older gentleman, was so very nice. He gave us a deal and told us that he had a cold 12 pack of the beer we were buying 2 six packs of and that the 12 pack was less money. He even went back and got it for us– my hero.
Despite the dust, 4 stars for the chivalrous liquor store customer service.

They seem to never have what you want and plenty of what you don’t need. stuffs been sitting there so long its covered in dust, faded labels and price tags about to fall off. hard as a rock dried up limes on the counter that look like you could break a window if you threw ‘em.
I’m all about helping out «Mom & Pop» joints instead of going to a big chain of stores, but he really needs to step it up there, bunch of under-​age loiterers normally hanging around the store at night, at least put them little bastards to work and clean up around the joint. it’s good if you’re in a pinch and looking for stuff you’ve never heard of before.
