“Birthday delivery landed right on time and my friend was thrilled! The selection at Thomas Liquors was fabulous and I found exactly what I was looking for. Great communication and fantastic service - thrilled to support a family-owned business that is just 3 miles from my friend's house.”
“Itasca Wine & Spirits is my husband’s and my neighborhood liquor store. We love visiting for a bottle of wine and catching up with the staff.
We rented the private room at the back of the store for our rehearsal dinner the night before our wedding. We LOVED it and want to host and attend more events here.
Jason is so nice and easy to work with providing extremely reasonable prices. He thought of everything when it came to the event space. This was a major highlight of our wedding weekend.”
“Great and personable staff, cheapest double shots of fireball on the area, and have venders doing samples of high quality beer every saturday. The vender today had all sales profits going to PTSD recovery for veterans of Ukraine. Also the beer and cider were amazing.??”
“What a lovely shop! I appreciated the tags on each varietal with descriptions and pairings. I left with an excellent wine from Cyprus which was fascinating. Nice selection of liquor/cordials as well. Small parking lot accessible from Grand St. or the alley behind the building. Street parking as well. Handicapped accessible. Between Violet Wine and Small Hours a couple blocks away, NE MPLS has wonderful wine connoisseurs! Support local businesses!”
“I had been searching high and low for some Vilmart for New Years, when the sweethearts at Vinai sent me here. What a find. Expertly curated to pull you in and foment conversation, their selection of natural and organic wines isn’t just for the fad followers but fit for any occasion—sitting on the couch or hosting everyone you know. Beyond that, their staff’s depth of knowledge is formidable and they are not just open to chat but delightfully friendly. Leslie, the owner, wasn’t there, but I am looking forward to taking advantage of the classes and discussions I am told she offers.”
“The cutest shop with an excellent selection of NA drinks, + TCH drinks and gifts. This is somewhere I love to take friends and family when they visit from out of town. The small staff is really friendly & personable. Love supporting this small neighborhood business.”
“Such a great little local shop … far more selection than you might expect, considering its small footprint. Prices are reasonable and the staff is friendly and helpful.”
“One of my fav taco trucks. Unfortunately, they are not open on Sundays, which is very odd since they are on the Creek parkway. I would think Sundays would be the 2nd busiest day of the week for them”
“I love the way that these stores are attached and set up and how you could buy a single can of beer if you like. I went in just to buy some stout for a cake recipe, but I love this place and know I will be back. Lots of goodies here and the people are so helpful and sweet!”
“The owner and staff are amazing. They always ask if you need help finding anything. Their prices are a couple dollars more than any stores but for me the customer service and wide selection that is always changing makes it worth it.”
“A tiny liquor spot with easy parking and a great selection of locals and not-so-locals. Loads of THC beverages, a health selection of hard liquor, and one of the best local choices of beers and seltzers. I love that you can buy singles. And, the owner/employees are always friendly and helpful. This is probably my favorite local liquor store - highly recommended.”
“Good selection of beer. Staff has always been polite, only issue is everytime I have asked about a specific product if it's available to order or possibly get it's always been a flat NO and confused expression. ( And yes I understand if you have a specific distributor there's only so much you can get) However, it leads one to believe they don't care or have no desire to learn or research t or expand the knowledge of the products they sell. It is frustrating especially since I live 90 miles away but go by them everyday to work, so granted I have many other options to stop enroute. But I am just one person so it doesn't really matter”
“I worked with Nick and First Grand Ave for a catering order and I could not have had a smoother experience. I even had a billing issue that was my own fault, and they worked with me on it until we fixed things. I would recommend this store to anyone looking for top notch customer service”
“Didn't go here but they let me and my 6 grandkids stand in the store till our Uber arrived because it was too cold, so thank you for that kindness you showed us”

“Dog friendly and tastings most weekends. A wide selection of mn made beer, wine and spirits. This municipality store also provides a greater selection of spirits, beer and wine from all over the USA.”
“I am glad I stopped here because your employee helped me purchase a good Riesling. He was playing some records and I felt very at ease and no issues parking either.”
“Great selection while unpretentious with reasonable prices and a sensible layout. Staff are very friendly. Can’t ask for much more as far as I’m concerned.”
“Owner Matt is there weekdays and even after moving out of the Longfellow neighborhood years ago. He came from the back and greeted me by name and it made my day. Thanks Matt. Good to see you again.”
“What to say, best best best, I went to buy wine for my girl friend and didn’t know any thing about wine but got a chance to talk to a specialist who seems to know what to buy”
“There's this manager name is Dane.. slight hiccup and didn't have cash in the drawer when I typed cash back, and he handled it so well and was very professional about...good man deserves to be promoted above peers.”
“Had no clue this amazing liqour store existed! A friend of mine walks past it on their way to work, therefore knew of it being there. The selection they carry, in terms of spirits, is quite impressive. Being a bartender and someone that appreciates the vast expanse that is variable nuances within the flavor profiles of different liqours, I could have spent a long time looking at all of the spectacularly curated options. Check this place out, if you're looking for something out of the ordinary. Highly recommend!”
“If you haven’t been to Zipps Liquors yet, you are seriously missing out. This isn’t just your average liquor store; it is a pillar of the community where absolutely everyone is welcome. From the second you walk through the door, you are greeted with genuine warmth. It instantly feels like home. Their selection is completely unmatched. Whether you’re looking for a casual six pack for the weekend, a unique local craft beer, or top shelf, high end spirits like Macallan and other rare finds, Zipps has you covered. They truly carry all types of beer, alcohol, and liquor to fit any budget or occasion. But what really makes Zipps special is their heart. They don't just talk about community they live it. They proudly and actively support immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, and our Black, Somali, and Latino neighbors. It’s incredibly refreshing to shop at a local business that champions diversity and makes sure every single person who walks in feels safe, respected, and valued.
Incredible selection, top-notch customer service, and an inclusive vibe that can't be beaten. Zipps Liquors has earned a customer for life!”
“Buying locally made breakfast sausage and selecting a coffee for friends coming to town. Lots of choices and it just feels like home. A calm and tidy place with good selection and specialties. It just feels like NE which, to me, is home.
“My go to meat shop for special occasions and every day dinners. All the employees are helpful and patient with my indecision. Double smoked ham is my favorite and my family always ask for it.”

“I was in the neighborhood to pick up an order at Marc Heu. The staff helped me select an amazing wine to pair with prime rib, plus another red that punched above its weight. I don't know wine very well, but my guests do, and the staff gave me helpful pointers about decanting an hour or two ahead of imbibing. Thank you for your expert and thoughtful assistance! We are so lucky to have gems like you in St. Paul.”
“This place is a great community staple for liquor shopping. There are many locations with pretty wide selections of booze and beer along with very helpful, punctual and friendly staff. They unfortunately dont have any snacks, soda or much other non-alcoholic mixes/drinks. But they sell cigarettes including menthol! Plus the cheapest BIC lighters you will find for only $1.50!”
“One of the best selections of wine I've seen, plus an incredible array of cannabis drinks. But really what sold me was the nice dude behind the counter showing me a funny cat video when he overheard me say I got a new kitten. 10/10 experience.”

“The best place I've been to ever in many years. Nice and respectful ownership and service. Appears to be family owned and operated. Also Asian family i think? So friendly to everyone that walks in the door. Only place i go to for my beverages. Would rather give my money to these Great people than some franchise liquor store that only cares about getting rich rather than any cares about customers. But this store is not like that. They are the best. 1010”
“A good liquor store with a vast array of options for whatever suits your fancy. Prices seem pretty competitive. Only real complaint is the whole place smells like smoke...”
