“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.??”
“Best local liquor store in the neighborhood with a great selection of whatever you need. Support them, all the construction last summer affected so many local mom and pop businesses, and Lakeridge is a treasure we can afford to lose.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.

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.

“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.”
“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 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.”
“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. 🥂”
“Very clean, bright, stuff was nice and friendly!Variety is great. Found a good whiskey for my friend, can’t wait to see his face ))? I sighed for membership and got discount on my first purchase ???. 5 stars! Recommend it for all !!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Large selection.
Knowledgeable Staff.
Average prices.
Walk-in refrigerated area.
Has shopping carts.
I have nothing to complain about.”

“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”

“I am with the Centerville Lions Club. I stopped in as I was driving by to see Pete, the Owner. I was looking for a donation for our local event that we have coming up. He stepped right up to the plate and said here you go. What a great guy. Thank you so much for supporting a local Non-profit. We serve in the community and are able to do so with the help of people like Pete! Thank you Pete! We will be back not only as a Lion but as a community resident too! Thank you again! We will be sending people your way!”

“Anything you want to get juiced, is all right here. Staff is courteous and friendly. They should be, right? It's a make you feel better than the norm kinda place.”
“My friend told me about this store. I was apprehensive, but it was on my way home. I was looking for a nice bourbon. The gentleman behind the counter saw where I was looking and asked me if I was looking for a particular bourbon he had behind the counter. I inquired about it, bought a bottle and love it. I will now be doing all of my business there because of this guy's referral and friendliness. I called there today and they are sold out of that particular bourbon, but I'm sure they will get it again.”
“Niki was above and beyond helpful and so so service oriented. Give this person a raise! She gave me these adorable little rocks and I am going to tell everyone to come to the store if they want great service!”
“The people that run the store are very respectful and they're helpful and they moved the stuff that I buy from them usually up to the front because I'm handicapped it was wonderful.”
