This is a great, well-stocked liquor store for a pretty small town. Most of the alcohol sold seems…read moreto be at big-box stores like WalMart and the selection is pretty standard. Lion's has a lot of craft beer and the owners/employees are knowledgeable about flavors, pairings, etc. so you can ask a lot of questions. We called ahead of a trip to a nearby cabin and ordered a keg. They had a bunch of options and they were pretty inexpensive (especially compared to Chicago). The keg had been set aside and was waiting when we arrived. We paid a $50 deposit on the tap and they carried the keg to the car for us. We were able to get ice and cigarettes so we completed our entire shopping trip here. Returning the keg was really easy and we got our deposit back immediately. We were basically in and out of there quickly both times we visited and we were really happy with the service and friendliness of everyone there. We also got to see the owner's lovely boxer dog and she was super cute and loved pets. I always love a good store pet.

The manager (owner?) is a very nice guy. He was able to refund my money when we didn't tap all of…read moreour kegs. He is very easy to get ahold of and works quickly for the customer! They also have an excellent craft beer selection!!!!

They have extremely poor web service. they did a Black Friday event with allocated bourbon knowing…read morethis was going to drive heavy traffic. Their system does not hold the item in your cart so unfortunately many people bought these items only to receive an email minutes later saying the order is cancelled. They have plenty of bottles they could honor to those this happened to but they just said sorry and feel that's good enough. They have lost my business and most likely quite a few others.

Just passing through on my way back to Pennsylvania and found this here on Yelp. Our hotel was just…read more1-1/2 miles away. Great wines with decent, large pours and good prices. Amazing wall of bourbons! My husband went nuts! A whole other room of wines too. Had to stay out of there! You can order Mexican food. I got two tacos which were fantastic and an order of nachos and it cost me only $11! The atmosphere and ambiance is so inviting. The employees were very welcoming, helpful and friendly. This place is amazing! I wish I lived closer!

This Walmart was in almost every way very much like a Walmart. It was massive, had a massive…read moreparking lot, had a gas station with reasonable fuel prices, was out of carrots (okay, that might be an outlier), had clean bathrooms and an overall presentable store, had employees who are overworked and protect their time by avoiding eye contact and being utterly indifferent to customers, and this one has a liquor store (Illinois is reasonably flexible with its licensing laws) that apparently one must check out from separately to avoid cross-contamination between wholesome groceries and sinful booze. (I'm speculating on that last part.) The beer selection in the booze store was on the suboptimal side, but any port in a storm when you're on the way to the hotel after driving a million hours.

There is a limited selection of beers, wines and the usual basic liquors. If you're looking for a good variety of imported or micro brewery beers, a fine wine or some high end liquor, or Jose Cuervo 1800, Especial, you're not going to find it here. The wait staff is nice, helpful, and the drive up window seems to be the preferred way of getting your fix. In conclusion, if your looking for the basic beer, a general liquor or wine, then this place fits the bill well.
