South Lyndale Liquors provides an opportunity to travel the world, with all the wines, beer, and spirits from around the world. The deli and wine bar is my new favorite place to meet up with my friends, or just bring a book I am reading. The best part!? You can also order the food to take home!

My new favorite liquor store, deli, and food-event venue. The space is huge! Enormous selection of reasonably priced beer, wine, and spirits. The space is clean and well laid out with the deli and wine bar in a vestibule before the store proper. All the service has been great: especially the deli and event staff. Went for a St. Patrick's day tasting/Q&A of Padraig Brewing and it was a really laid back, fun event. Intimate setting with well thought out cheese pairings. A got a coupon to grab some liquor afterwards. We grabbed an Italian sandwich before and it was amazing. Packed with meat and house giardiniera on a super fresh and soft bun. Really strong flavors and one of the better pricey "artisanal" deli sandwiches I've had. They've got happy hour at the pour-your-own wine bar so we'll definitely be back soon.

Read some of the bad reviews, and examine my time here (once, so take it with a grain of salt), and here are some points I would make (scroll down for deli), the deli staff were amazing, so so nice, I cannot stress it enough, but the liquor store staff maybe were a bit tougher, it was like hard to get them to smile? Which is irrelevant, their job is to sell me alcohol, so they accomplished it. But would be nice if someone asked if I needed help when I was wandering around, it’s a big place, GREAT selection!! Another point, the prices are a dollar or two more than some of the cheap neighborhood spots but no big deal, the selection makes up for it.The deli was amazing. Ive had $16 sandwiches that feel like they should be $8 but this was totally delicious. The dipped sandwiches come with perfectly developed broths, seasoned just enough, the buns were amazing, everything about the deli was a great time.

Just picked up some holiday booze and stopped at this deli for a sandwich. Ordered hot, Italian beef-dip sandwich. It was the best savory, crusty, cheesy, spicy-pepper filled handful of heaven that I’ve ever eaten. If you watch the bear and wonder what a great hot Italian beef sandwich tastes like, look no further than the market at South Lyndale liquors at 55th and Lyndale you will not be disappointed. The hours are pictured in my post photo. Kudos to the chef!

Oh goodness, this new location is gorgeous! So welcoming and the selection is really excellent. They even have a little cafe in the front with sandwiches and some cheese / meats.

Love that they have a little cafe with garage doors that open to the outside. Wine by the glass coming soon dispensers in the seating area. Specialty sandwiches were delicious and made on the spot. Staff was (still) friendly and helpful, and they still allow dogs (even though they have a cafe/deli area, which was what made me think they might not be welcome at the new location). There are nice, clean restrooms, a raised dog bowl set next to the drinking fountain with also has a bottle filler.We loved South Lyndale Liquors before, but now it is a destination for more than just alcohol.The new location also touts the largest beer cooler in MN, which has pretty much any and every "local" brewery represented. It was so interesting just to look at some of the names and ingredients of the drinks they have to offer. There is a small freezer that contains a specialty mixer that looks like something I'd like to try, too - Boot Leg.Plan to spend some time here, at least for your first visit! Food is packaged to go, but seating area is open and welcoming for use.

An incredible market and liquor store in a great new space! Huge variety, tastings, and plenty of room to spread out. Looks like wine on tap and possibly an event space are also in the works. Haven't tried the sandwiches yet but have heard they're top-notch.

It's large and still filling with stock. They still are a single location liquor store so their purchasing power is not as great as the big chain and is reflected in the prices. They have an area where you can purchase food and and area to sit and enjoy it which is away from the inside of where the alcohol is. Maybe after a year and lots of experience in their new home it will be worth another visit.

South Lyndale Liquors is awesome! We live relatively close by, been coming to them for years, and i love their new location and expansion. Wonderful selection and service. They have a great staff who’s really knowledgeabe. They even helped me with a dynamite wine tasting real estate Client appreciation event once that went super well. Thanks you guys!

Great selection of wine, beer and whiskey. They also have a great loyalty program where you get cash off your total at checkout. New location has sandwiches. Going to try them all and report back.

Brought my mother in for lunch, some fantastic sandwiches here at the new location. Italian beef is a delicious classic, jus for dipping. Smoked turkey with bacon, fig jam and sprouts, such a great tasteful sandwich. Definitely coming back.

New location still has1. High prices - maybe highest around2. Impossible parking lot in/out and also cuts off front door access by cars going in/out3. Only 1 cash line - if you want to pay with cash you will wait 3-6 times longer than those paying with card. Ridiculous. How about make one line cash only...who can call over a credit person when there are no cash people in line? Seems pretty simple.4. Not environmentally friendly. 18 foot ceilings means 2x the heat and air conditioning.I'll go a little further to Richfield. Lower prices, all lanes take cash, easy parking lot.

Amazing new location! I can’t wait to see how they develop it. The old place was always fantastic, and I only see this as the progression of their success.

We have been so excited for South Lyndale’s reopening, and were so impressed by what we found! The new liquor store area is so huge and well stocked- as compared to before it is a lot easier to find what you are looking for and stroll calmly through the aisles. We also decided to have lunch at their deli and we thought it was delicious! We ordered their italian hero and prosciutto cold sandwiches and were really impressed by the quality of the bread, meat, and other fixings. We are so excited to keep trying other menu items here.
