“This location has by far one of the better selections of both beer and liquor. They have a large amount of single barrels and store picks in the bourbon aisle, and carry a wide array of different beers. The only real downside is that they tend to mark up based on hype, so you're unlikely to find a good deal.”
“Quick to unload. Quiet area. They'll let you park for a while, at least. I didn't ask about overnight because I'm just waiting for a load. Keep the lot clean drivers, this is a good place to deliver.”
“Big red liquors are the place for beer and spirits in Bloomington Indiana. The workers are polite and professional they are prepared to answer your questions and there is usually a tasting of the newer spirits that are available for sale within the store. So check it out what better way to unwind and relax.”
“Dylan at the east 3rd Big Red was the best employee I have ever spoken to at Big Red Liquor. He went above and beyond with the information I needed and he did it with an attitude that made me in a better mood just from talking to him. So Awesome job Dylan and keep up your positive energy and spread your positivity everywhere you go. Super awesome job at a job that most people just go through the motions and that is all you need but Dylan had an attitude that was contagious and put me in a very good mood and I wanted to let people know that there is still good working people out there and the type of job doesn't matter. Great job Dylan don't lose that enthusiasm and you will do great things!”
“Excellent, tho limited selection, they have what matters most (eg. infused gin; best tonic waters, and a beautiful supply of colorful fresh mixers), the quality never ceeces to amaze me. They also have a lovely group of staffers, one young man helped me make my choices, keeping me from having to use the stairs, and even enthusiasticly carried my stash to my car (l had recently broken my hip), l was tempted to send him flowers the next day. The Rusty Haired guy was probably the kindest and most compassionate as any shop worker could that l have expierence in my almost 71 years on this planet. lt resulted in me actually starting to going there rather than my usual haunts, and l think everyone that patronizes them feels the same way I do, it's a clean and upbeat place, and like one big happy family❣️”
“Friendly and great service. They have all I need (and then some). Join the VIP club for good deals. Plus, free delivery with first3free code on app. Oh yeah, COLD BEER!”
“I mean when am I not at Big Red?! I mean it makes me happy going to Big Red I am even happier when I get home to have my drink can Big Red makes that day go away real fast. Hell come join me.”
“The cashiers were friendly and helpful, the selection of mixers/liquors/ales is extensive (though not as broad as at their main store a bit closer to the downtown), and the service is reasonably fast. It also happened to be probably the biggest weekend _of the year_ for such transactions; the "Little 500", a bicycle race Indiana University has been holding since 1951... thus, these stores are unusually busy at this time! All told, pretty good! 🙂🙂🙂”
“This is the best liquor store I have been to. It’s very neat and organized! I am not a big drinker but was looking for a good wine for giving to a friend. I was greeted by manager James with smile and passion! He was able to identify the perfect one for me. Thank you James, and your outstanding management leading this location, making everyone home here!”
“This Big Red is one of the Best, Matt is mgr there,along with Joe.Been at alot of the stores,bye far, this the one of the Best , need help with anything there their, always. Have a toast.”
“This is a general local liquor store.They have what one would expect from a liquor store.The staff are generally friendly, offer adequate service.Do not expect anyone to be an expert on small batch scotch, or be able to pair your drinks with dinner, but you can buy a cheap 6 pack.certainly not as big as the downtown Big Red, but they don't need to be as they (like every liquor store in town) are a satellite store.If you are looking for an alternative place to buy alcohol, you will have to go to a grocer or to Wal-Mart, as Big Red has a tight grip on a local monopoly.”
“Small store with limited selection, but all of the usuals one might expect in a college town. There are larger stores in the same chain nearby with more options. Nice free VIP program that saved me about $7.00 on a vodka and beer purchase.”
“Would give 5 stars, but they have developed a Monopoly here in Bloomington and w/ the limited # of licenses. Puts anyone else out before they can even begin...Otherwise, good people and ?ok? prices.”
