Liquor Stores near Lowell, IN

“The employees are very nice , the store is organized nicely. If you can't find anything they will happily assist you. Only little glitch is one way in and one way out of parking lot. So if you are heading west then you're fine but if you need to go east you have to fight through traffic and find a way to make a u turn. I was told the owners wanted to build a another exit behind the store to combat the above problem but was told by the city if they wanted to make that exit possible they would have to tear down store and rebuild it to make that possible. Which is redicolous. Shame on the city. this is my favorite store and I will keep coming and fighting my way back into traffic just to make my U-turn and head home. ?”

“The best prices around but nothing beats getting to see George! He always goes above and beyond to make sure we leave happy! Super helpful and so fun to talk to!”

“Great selection of bourbon and whiskey at fair prices. Plus the barrel picks are awesome. Purchased a limited release 1816 Indiana Rye last night that I was looking for.”

“Best prices in town and the poor ladies that work there haven't kicked me out yet so... They deserve 5 stars, just for having to deal with me and my ridiculous stories/Dad jokes.”

“First timer here, I've been to several liquor stores (probably all) in the area and had an unbelievable awesome experience at 9:30 PM. First of all this establishment is opened until 10 PM most the others close at 9 PM. I started with a gentlemen named Dave, who explained the philosophy of the owner, how he grew the company and what the intentions were which is a credit to who hired Dave who obviously did his homework and was trained well.

Dave reviewed various bourbons with me, he educated me, shared what were popular sellers and what product moves fast and often. I came in for one specific brand they did not have but Dave googled some others for me and sold me three! Dave got Noah involved from the register, we discussed some others and I was upgraded to a higher class type (class) of bourbon that was higher class, performance and yield! I ended up buying three that I never heard of. Unbelievable expert service, solid old fashion service as what we used to get in the 70's and 80's, real old fashion solid friendly human contact and interaction as well. I just taste tested all three and Dave was spot on with his choice knowledgeable selections.

Thank you Dave and Noah for an enjoyable, awesome, friendly, warm, and most kind experience, I will return and am recommending you to my associates! Cheers gentlemen!”

“Handy Spot Liquor is a great find for bourbon hunters and definitely a store worth checking out. The selection here is surprisingly strong, with a mix of well-known brands, local Indiana distilleries, and even some allocated bottles. I was particularly impressed with their selection of Hard Truth, Hotel Tango, and Frey Ranch, which you don’t always find at every store.

The layout is well-organized, and unlike some other places, their bourbon aisle is fully stocked on both sides, showing that they put effort into maintaining a good selection. This feels like a store where the buyer actually cares about bourbon, rather than just throwing bottles on a shelf.

One of the standout aspects of Handy Spot Liquor is the friendly and knowledgeable staff. I had a great conversation with an employee who mentioned that the owners hand-pick their allocated bottles and that they try to bring in high-quality selections rather than just chasing hype brands. This tells me that it’s a good place to return to for future hunts.

Pricing on allocated bottles can be on the higher side, but nothing outrageous compared to other stores in the area. They had a Van Winkle 12-Year for $900, which, while expensive, isn’t unheard of. They also had Hotel Tango Reserve Bourbon for $60 and Michter’s Straight Rye for $51.99, which were reasonable prices.

Overall, Handy Spot Liquor has a solid bourbon selection, a well-stocked and well-organized store, and a staff that clearly knows what they’re doing. It’s definitely a bourbon-friendly store that I’d visit again, and it’s worth stopping in if you’re in the area to see what they have.”

“I bought Jose Cuevo Traditional and Don Julio repasado. The choices were endless and the customer service was absolutely wonderful! I was just passing through from Chicago to Indianapolis. They made it very convenient and was very polite! I'd go back on my way through again.”

“The owner, Vic, is one of a kind! We frequent this establishment periodically when we are scanning for hidden tequila gems, and have bumped into a few here! The also have an amazing bourbon isle!”

“Good selection for a medium sized store. They always have what I'm looking for and our family's preferences are quite diverse. No smokers inside, Amen! Competitive price point, helpful staff and fast checkout.”
