“This place is awesome. As someone who has far too long used alcohol to help wind down at the end of evenings, I’m searching for a replacement of that ritual. They have so many great options for this. Erin the owner is super friendly and helpful and got me set up. I’ll be back!”
“Absolutely the Best Liquor Store in Town!
Ombibulous is a hidden gem and an absolute must-visit if you’re looking for great selection, fair prices, and genuinely amazing customer service.
They’ve even made a few recommendations that turned into my all-time favorites.
Their selection is outstanding—craft beers, fine wines, rare bourbons, locally made spirits, mixers, and even a few unexpected finds you won’t see in big chain stores.
What really sets ombibulous apart is the personal touch. It’s clear they care about their community and the people they serve.
Support local—skip the chain store and check this place out. You won’t be disappointed. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!”
“I never understood the popularity of Trader Joe’s until moving next door to one. Limited selection, but isn’t that part of the appeal? Great seasonality of products offered and high quality too. Very convenient location for me and I can’t stop popping in just to see what new things they might have.”
“I stopped in today to try their sandwiches, and I loved just about everything this place had to offer. They have indoor/outdoor seating, a convenient water station, plenty of free parking, a great vibe, super clean bathrooms, and a rockin deli with sandwiches, various cheeses, sides, tiramisu and more! It has an upscale look and feel but it isn’t going to break the bank if you’re grabbing a bite to eat. It is also fairly spacious, and I loved the high ceilings in the deli section. Honestly, it isn’t a place I would’ve initially expected the Twin Cities area to have as it stands out from a lot of other places.
As for my sandwich, I ordered the Italian Hero. This was a little bit of a spin on a traditional Italian Hero since this one came with tapenade and pickled red onions. The flavors were pretty exceptional, the lettuce was dressed well with oil/vinegar and the portions were decent. There was also a pleasant mild kick which could've been from something like spicy soppressata or a hot pepper spread. They didn't go into detail on everything that was in the sandwich so I'm just guessing!
The sandwich was overflowing a bit the way it was prepared so I feel like this could use some work. It could've also used just a little more meat. However, my only real gripe would be that the seeded roll was a little stale and dry. I think the bread can sometimes make or break a sandwich so this was a bit of a let down. If they can improve the bread quality, I would say it could go head to head with some sandwiches I have had out on the east coast.
Someone reviewed the Italian Hero a year ago and that photo should be used as the reference for making this sandwich. The preparation and meat to veggie ratios looked excellent. If they could replicate that again, I'm sold. The seeded roll also looked way better at that time. Either way, I will probably give them another shot in the future since the Prosciutto and Smoked Turkey sandwiches looked very appealing and it's apparent they are striving to offer a good experience.”
“It's a legendary liquor store across from the midtown global market.
Prices are on point for in the city.
And I've been going here so long, everyone seems to know me, and it's just a nice experience almost every time.”
“I don't even drink wine, and love walking through this place. It's like walking through a sweet rainfall, and the displays are masterfully crafted. If you drink wine or beer, or just want to enjoy the intoxicating beauty and aroma of this venue, stop in today...and return often.”
“I can’t say enough good things about this place!! I have been a regular there for the past year and a half since moving to the area and have no reason to wish to go anywhere else. The staff regularly provide excellent guidance when I’m looking for something new to try. All of the cashiers are very nice and personable.
I have had especially great experiences with a woman who was very knowledgeable in tequila and talks as if she is a manager/owner.
Their loyalty program is another highlight for me”
“What a hidden GEM! I have driven by this place so many times just assuming it was a liquor store, which it is of course, but there's also a fantastic deli inside! I tried the Cuban sandwich and it is really well done. All of the ingredients are high quality and well distributed throughout the sandwich ( essential for a good Cuban! ). I can't wait to find an excuse to try my next sandwich!!”
“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.”
“This place is really cool. I heard about it in conversation and then drove by it and decided to stop in. The selection is pretty good. Lots of options and the staff was really knowledgeable.
I like microbrews so there were a few things to try.
They did have mushroom drinks which I have never explored but they told me they have sampling on Saturday.
I would definitely stop by again and I hope this stays in the area because it's a really cool addition.”
“Got the club sandwich and for sure was a bit surprised at the smallish size but every ingredient was such high quality that it is worth it. Some of the best tasting turkey I’ve ever had. Baguette is very crunchy and delicious. Yum, want to try them all!”
“If you can find what you’re looking for on sale it’s probably worth it but alot of these prices are starting to just not make sense anymore. I realize it’s a convenience grocery store and that’s OK because it is convenient, but I just don’t buy everything from this spot as a lot of it’s quite unaffordable”
“I needed to make a bulk purchase for a non-profit fundraiser and the GM Bryan was super responsive and helpful. He and his staff helped turnaround my order within a couple hours.”
“TALK ABOUT CUSTOMER SERVICE AND A SMILE!!! WOW, i had never been to this liq. store and so I went in I didn’t know where the little cooler full of the frozen drink pouches were and had to ask.. the KINDEST gentleman walked me to where the cooler was, and once we got there and I opened it up, he asked what flavor I was looking for & then even OFFERED TO DIG THROUGH THE COOLER FOR ME SO I WOULDNT BREAK A NAIL!!!!! Where do you even find someone that nice?! (I never got his name, but he knows who he is!) I mean, that’s absolutely winning at customer service & made my absolute day. Mickys may not be my closest liquor store, but now it is 100% hands down without a doubt my favorite.”

“This store is good for daily use of alcohol and very good prices, i love this place, and once you register yourself, they have a points system also so that you can redeem your points in future love this,”
“Wife and I were up in MN for a wedding and I wanted to take home some local beer. The woman at the counter was very nice and helpful, and gave us a few good suggestions. Good selection of beer, too.”
“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!”
“Great prices. Their bloody Mary mix in the mason jars are delicious!. 7.49 a jar can't go wrong. It's a jalapeno flavor. There is a huge jalapeno in the jar soaking in it. It is cooked on the grill it looks like, than placed in the jars..”

“Small store, so their selection may (or may not) be limited. I stick with the same few things, which they always have in stock, and with great pricing (especially considering their lack of competition in the heart of a city).”
“They are laid back no stress I love making the extra distance on the bus route. Plus their prices are lower than the other places so totally worth it. Also their customer service is top notch.”
“Absolutely love this place! The staff is always super friendly and happy to help with recommendations. They really know their stuff when it comes to wine and whiskey. Prices are fair and the store is always clean and well-organized.”
“Visited this store today as we were staying at a relative's home and minding their dog for the holidays. It is walking distance from the house so we took the pooch along with us. I was waiting outside when one of the staff invited us in, saying the dog was welcome. She then offered her a treat and made a sweet fuss of her. We have shopped here before and always find them friendly and helpful, but today they were outstanding, being so welcoming towards our dog!”
“Excellent selection of spirits, wine and beer! Service is always great and they often do sampling in store so you can try before you buy. Their expansion within the last 1-2 years really elevated the experience! Only thing is that it can be a little pricey on the wine side but they have plenty of price points available and only deliver high quality wines.”
“With tobacco lost changing ever so quickly, I'm glad that I have Camden liquors near my place of residents because it's the only place in a 2 mi radius that is able to sell my phone cigarettes.Employees are super nice as you genuinely person and at the selection of alcohol and wine and beer is incredible, in my opinion.I did take a star off because of the atmosphere and condition of the inside of the store. It's more of a warehouse motif. That being said, I find that their prices for alcohol and beer products relatively reasonable. I'm not a big drinker, but it's a convenient and excellent place when you need to just pick up a pick me up.”
“Good selection, easy going and helpful staff. My only complaint is the specialty beer section feels disorganized and hard to navigate. Trying to find what they had available for sour ales was a struggle. Grouping each type of beer seems better. I suppose if you know what you want that won't make much of a difference for you. Overall a great stop for your beverage needs.”
“Nice liquor store, esp for a strip mall liquor store. Good variety of wines and knowledgeable staff. Rather amazing array of whiskeys and scotches. Good prices throughout.”
“I love this place. It's my favorite liquor store. They're one of the few small places that has a beer called dragons milk. That's why I started going there. Hard to find and EXPENSIVE but man is it goooooood. The staff are super nice and very protective of their customers. Don't act a fckin fool and you'll have a very pleasant experience!”
“Henry and Son is a boutique natural wine store with some liquor and beer selections. Everyone on staff is very knowledgeable. The wine club is great if you like having a few bottles of wine curated for you each month.”
“Great selection of THC drinks. I love the NARC brand of sparkling THC drinks. Highly recommend. I don't drink alcohol so it's frustrating to have to go inside a liquor store for THC drinks. The staff is incredible and always kind.”
“Have been here a few times to help friends find drinks and the staff are so kind and friendly. They have a nice variety of options of drinks and are very helpful if you have questions. I will definitely be swinging by again next time I’m in the area!”
