“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.??”
“My absolute favorite liquor store! Huge selection and the employees are so kind and helpful. Last time I was there I was helped by Zachary who absolutely made my day. G-wills!!”
“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!”
“Fair pricing. Good selection of necessities and oddities. Whomever selects the wine does a solid job of hitting all sorts of price points. Whomever selects the craft beer has a great pulse on what a Minnesotan city slicker is looking for. Convenient, awesome local liquor store.”
“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.”
“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!”
“First, if you've never been to Trader Joe's just go... GO! Nuff said there.
This is a big and well-staffed TJs. Excellent selection of fresh and frozen foods. My favorites are the pre-made salads and frozen international foods.
Oh, and candy. Above the frozen foods rows of the most amazing selection of candy from around the world. ?”
“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.”

“I love Liquor Boy in Saint Louis Park, MN has a fantastic selection of wine, spirits, mixers, beer, and thc beverages.
They also have friendly helpful staff and fantastic prices. This is my favorite liquor store.
You have to check this place out!”
“Large selection.
Knowledgeable Staff.
Average prices.
Walk-in refrigerated area.
Has shopping carts.
I have nothing to complain about.”
“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.”
“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.”
“We had such a great experience with Total Wine for our wedding! The free consultation was super fun — we got to taste-test different options and received a personalized list with exactly what to buy and how much. It made the whole process so easy and stress-free. Being able to return any unopened bottles afterward was a huge bonus. Highly recommend for anyone planning an event!”

“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!”

“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).”
“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..”
“I love this liquor store! All the employees have been great! I've been going there about 5 years now and never have I had a bad experience. The shelves are always stocked and everything is faced (pushed forward so us short people can see it)If I have a question staff are always knowledgeable, And always make me feel good because they not only greet me but make small talk.I'll continue shopping there only because of the customer service. This store was worth posting a review!”

“Nice hiding spot for some bourbon, they do have Eagle Rare but does come with a high price. Able to find several bottles at msrp that I picked up! Definitely will be back”
“Great selections, store-organization, and the team is absolutely wonderful. Their recommendations are always great. Jesse's beer & THC recommendations have been stellar and gave us some new all-time favorites!”
“Best operations manager there is, one of the cleanest stores and most organized you’ll find. Great store picks, great selection in everything, friendly staff and amazing prices.”
“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”
“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.”
“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.”
“Amazing selection of infused drinks had one of my favorite brands from AZ which is smokies also had amazing service keep up the amazing neighborhood experience grew up with this liquor store my who 35 years may have changed hands but never will forget always going to this place for a dumdum sucker.”
“Found my favorite German Beer here in the neighborhood. So deserved my 5 stars. Many of the employees are very kind and friendly except one lady who seem grumpy most of the time I saw her and kept saying she wanna go home. If only they offer competitive price compared to Total Wines. But I can’t complain as Total Wines is at least 18 min away.”
