South Lyndale Liquors & Market is a neighborhood liquor store and deli considered Minneapolis’s best kept secret. It purveys a very large collection of wine, beer, and spirits, including many local craft beers and a wide selection of unique finds. The establishment features a popular wine bar with a patio, offering 24 wines by the glass and happy hour pricing all day. The deli provides New York style Italian sandwiches, gourmet groceries, specialty cheeses, and charcuterie boards. A specialty menu with items like lasagne is offered later in the week. The atmosphere is welcoming and dog-friendly, and the space sometimes hosts special events and pop-ups, creating a fun combination of wine, food, and community.
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.

They have a lot of stuff that Total Wine doesn't. Their rewards program also makes it feel reasonably competitive (at least, for the stuff I buy), so it's always worth a visit if you're expanding your liquor cabinet or want to try something different and hard to get.

First time stopping in here, their selection of Bourbon is amazing! They have over 50 bottles to sample (2 per day). Make sure to check out their Barrel Picks. The market is also great! We picked up some cheese after sampling a couple. They also have a great selection of meats as well. Highly recommend!
