“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!!”
“it felt like walking into a friends house, the guy was doing a tasting w some folks that lived in the neighborhood and looked like and had the vibe of that guy from instagram who’s like “you know what riiiips” and was extremely helpful, stopping in was an *excellent* choice”
“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.??”
“Best wine shop in the cities. Carry natural wine selections and couldn’t have any more knowledgeable, world class staff. Absolutely worth a stop for a casual up to a special wine purchase!”
“4.5 stars feels about right. A small locally owned store with an above average selection of wine and a solid craft beer selection. Friendly helpful staff. I wish we could give half stars, I'd give 4.5 stars. If you're in the area this is a great option.”
“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.”
“Great wine store at all price levels. The owners are so knowledgeable and quick to offer whatever recommendations you need. You can tell they love wine and love having people experience good wine! Dog friendly too”
“France 44 is an absolute gem and I’m so grateful to have them in our community. Thank you to both the meat and cheese counters for giving me extra attention today as I prepared for hosting guests in my home.
For lunch, I enjoyed my cheesemongers plate - I found it to be satisfying, filling, and a great deal. We routinely get the France 44 club too.
At night I lay in bed and dream about them having a coleslaw option in lieu of the sauerkraut on the Reubens and Rachel’s - maybe someday. In the meantime I’m still lovin’ France 44!”
“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.”
“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.
“If you want a really cool looking, unique bottle of wine to bring to a dinner party, this is the place to get it! The staff are also very helpful and know their stuff. Will be back. 🥂”
“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!”
“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.”
“South Lyndale Liquors has an amazing selection and now they have an amazing deli up front with great sandwiches and sides. It's a great place to buy booze or spend time munching.”
“Northside’s finest. Not every liquor store was as smart enough or awesome enough to station armed guards on the roof of their joint during the George Floyd protests. These guys are cool and know what’s up.”
“Helpful staff. Decent selection of variety of items. Also carries THC drinks.
I find this to be a safe store for all genders ( ally ), and ethnicity. No judgement or passing glances.
If you carry a large bag (purse or backpack type items) leave at front counter by registers.”
“i usually don’t write reviews but i need to RAVE about the person that helped me today. i didnt manage to catch their name but they had a bridge piercing and a septum piercing and their customer service was ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL. one of the kindest interactions ive ever had! keep up the good work! thank you!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Definitely my go to. The service and the quality of the staff are amazing. Great as t store picks in the whisky area and fantastic wine selection. A definite place to go to.”
“you don't have enough room to turn around in the parking lot so don't thank about it, instead turn right onto cedar Ave s and back down the street, it's a dead end anyways. That way you will have to blindside into the parking lot but will be at an angle. I attached pics so hopefully it'll help the next person out. Other than that, nice guys and will get you in and out pretty quick”
“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!”
“My friend and I got the biggest bottle of Grey Goose Vodka which was surprisingly only like $40 and pretty much finished it with the help of 2 friends having 1-2 mixed drinks, while we both finished the rest by 2am. Crazy fun party night.
Please get some Hawaiian Punch Pineapple in stock. Great selection, and all the types of liquor ine could think of. Thank you”
“My favorite cocktail to make is a white negroni, which requires Suze. When I moved to Minneapolis I went on a sort of wild goose chase in search of this French aperitif which I thought was commonplace, but soon I found that no stores seemed to carry it, and most employees of the various liquor stores I went to had no clue what I was talking about. I felt insane. Had I hallucinated the existence of this brilliant yellow nectar? It was to the point where I would pore through photos in google reviews of various establishments, zooming in on shelves full of liqueurs, all in vain. Then, one day, I was walking home to my brand new apartment and happened upon Lowry Hill Liquors, two blocks from my place. Practically my backyard. I entered the store, expecting nothing. But There She Was. Suze. My Beloved.
LHL has just the best supply of everything. Beer selection far outclasses nearby alternatives. Suze and Lillet Blanc always in stock. Great prices. A wide variety of THC/CBD products in all flavors, brands, and strengths. Rotating deals that feel like stealing, they’re so damn good. They email you coupons every month if you get on their list, and, boy, you ought to. My favorite liquor store. There are no other options. Thank you.”
“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..”

“amazing customer service !!! family run and they show a TON of appreciation for their customers as well as having amazing recommendations ! lots of knowledge that you would expect of from a liquor store - I will always come back here because i feel so much warmth when i walk through the doors!”
“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.”
