Good selection of local craft beers. Found some that I can't normally find in other stores. Parking lot is large. Decided on a local craft beer and a local cider. read more

Elevated Beer Wine & Spirits - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Date of visit: October 12, 2024 We popped in here just before visiting a friend's house for a birthday party that was just a few blocks away. While a bit industrial in look and layout, there is quite the selection of beer, wine, and spirits to choose from! My husband and our friends both found things for themselves and for the birthday boy and while staff does not venture out from behind the counter to assist you, they were plenty friendly and helpful when approached. read more

It's a little hectic to get into the parking lot due to the street work and traffic cones, but it's all downhill from there. A nice, well stocked liquor store! The guy at the register gave me a quick run down about one of the local brews. Highly recommended. read more

Very respectful place have going there since opened. The service is nice. They even offer help

Great selection of beer---always what's new. And liquor and wine! Love the people. and they love dogs too!

Insane pricing for allocated liquor. But then again the name is ELEVATED. Not much else to say

This place is great for craft beer. After stopping by a couple other stores recommended by Yelp, I finally found the selection I was looking for at Elevated. I was in town for the Mornin' Delight release at Toppling Goliath, and was looking for some other local brews to bring home. They have a great collection of crowlers, cans and bottles. If I lived in Minneapolis, this would be my regular spot. read more

Elevated Beer Wine & Spirits - Nice selection of crowlers in the fridge! - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Great selection. The guy working asked if I needed help. I said yes how about some good IPAs. He replied sorry I only drink dark beer I can't help you. Maybe try hiring more helpful staff? You don't need to drink the specific item to help on what's popular, customers like!? I won't come back. read more

I struggled with the app until I remembered they told me it didn't work very well. So I went to full website and it reported a very common product was out of stock. So I called and got voicemail. So I switched stores. Maybe permanently. read more

Bad store. Bad owners. Even worse since they decided that delivery was their preferred model. Also: They flagged my original review and had it removed to juice their overall rating. read more

Elevated Beer Wine & Spirits - a letter from a customer - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

A very impressive little beer shop and definitely worth the stop. The selection of beers covers all the bases and then some - they have your usual cases of "regular" beer and then for the craft beer lovers out there, there is a pretty dazzling array of beers from all over the place. I like looking around because you never know what is hiding on the shelves. We also really like that they sell a lot of single bottles and cans, if you are looking to sample a bunch of new beers or aren't willing to commit to buying a four- or six-pack. Shopping at Elevated is like being in one of those candy stores where everything is sold by weight and you can just grab whatever you want. It's super fun if you have some beer lovers in your life. There's also wine (not for me) and a walk-in cold case with cases of beer ready for the drinking (though it seems like the selection in there is more "regular" beer and less craft). Totally worth the stop. read more

Elevated is a pretty great neighborhood liquor store. PRO: - Great beer selection for picking up a six pack or picking up individual bottles - Wine and spirits also available at fairly reasonable prices for the area - Friendly staff - Emphasis on local beer and spirits CON: - Location off of Hwy 55 is a pain to get to unless you're already Northbound on 55 - While it's cool they have a loyalty/discount program, I've never received anything from it after signing up multiple times Elevated will remain my local go-to spot for building a six pack or four. read more

Coming from California Napa region I am not accustomed to having to go out of my way to purchase adult beverages. I've been to a few different locations around the Minneapolis area but this place was by far the most pleasant experience. Truthfully elsewhere I feel like I'm doing something dirty or illicit rather than looking for a nice bottle of wine. The friendly professional staff had a little wine sampling going on and very knowledgeable too! I didn't feel weird and nor feel the need to hide my purchase in a plain brown paper bag at all! I was proud of my selections and had a delightful evening with friends. My go to place while in MSP. Side note... this establishment is dog friendly... not a fan of big dogs but saw at least 3 on leash while in the store along with an assortment of smaller cuddly variety ... read more

This may seem like an average liquor store when you first walk in there. It doesn't look unique from others at first. This is certainly not a bad quality. But when you look a little more and walk in there a little more, this is when you see the uniqueness that makes this place gold. I have no idea what took me so long to try out this place. Compared to other liquor stores, it's just come and go with nothing special. But this place has way more than that. It has character, charm, and a little something special that would make me want to stay there a few minutes longer. It's hard to put that word into this review because it's hard to come up with one. At first glance, it doesn't seem like there'd be a huge selection. If you look a little more, you'll see that it's there. There's tons to choose from, and it's hard to pick just one because they all look so dang good. The employees are amazing! Of all the liquor stores I've been in, this ranks number one for customer service. They take extra time for their customers to make them feel important. Their actions are successful with me. Granted, for me, this location is a little more of a drive than other places for liquor. The drive was totally worth it. I'll be back. Also, if I had to make one suggestion, that would be to offer a prize slightly more spectacular than a sucker for answering the question on the board correctly. Granted I like suckers, but that isn't much of a motivator for me. Coupon perhaps? read more

Great little liquor store with decent prices and a nice selection. Friendly staff and usually have samples . Best part is that it's only a block from me. I usually make a late night run before they close when I realize I'm out of something on the weekend. read more

I love Elevated! Great people, great shop and selection. I love the design of this place. Some of their prices are relatively high but others are good. They frequently have tastings ( almost every time I go!) and allow dogs! They adore our pit bull and have done some events for local rescues. Great store. It's always just fun to go read more

The best locally brewed beer and local distillate I have found under one roof. Also dog friendly! (Be advised-personally I find myself buying more than I planned because it all looks so good and find it a challenge to carry armfuls of glass and cans while attempting to control a rambunctious dog at the same time-Worth it! ) read more

Avoid this store at all costs Extremely rude staff, elevated prices & they steal tips from delivery drivers.

Elevated is a great store for beer. I've never seen such a good collection -- not even in the bigger stores -- of sour and funky beers. I couldn't believe it. I may buy all my beer here. Selection of hard liquor on the other hand was a good deal more limited. I mean, it's not bad for a small store, but I'd like more choices. Still giving this place four stars though, because the highly specialized beer selections. read more

Found Elevated near top of recommendations for craft beer retailers in Minneapolis metro. I was nearby at Ted Cook's 19th Hole BBQ, so I popped in to see which Dogfish Head beers they had in stock. They had a handful, including the two I was looking for. Staff greeted me upon entry and led me to the Dogfish brews. Can't really comment on the stock, but it was a clean and organized interior. You can miss this place coming from the north. read more

People were super friendly with helping me find the right local beer I was looking for. They had an amazing selection of beer to choose from, and you could make your own six pack and get 10% off read more

I visited this bottle shop on recommendation from a bartender at Surly. We were looking for off premise places to get some out-of-distro beers to take back to MO. The storefront is not as impressive as the shop's beer selection, so don't be discouraged. This place is A+ for all alcoholic beverages, but especially craft beer. There was an immense selection of packaged beer, both chilled and warm, as well as 4 full aisles of single craft beers. They offered a 10% discount on any mixed 6 packs. They also organized their singles by style, as opposed to by brewery, which made it very easy to find the singles I wanted to take home. I was perusing the chilled selection when Dan came up and asked if we were looking for MN only beer. I guess he could tell by our selections at the register what we were searching for. He helped me locate several MN brews such as Bent Paddle, Indeed and Surly, as well as suggesting other beers that we would enjoy. We walked out of Elevated with 2+ cases and a new love of MN craft beer. When in MPLS again, I will be a repeat patron of Elevated. Thanks to Dan for all the suggestions! Cheers! read more

I dig Elevated. Lots of craft beer that's arranged by region, and they carry some of my favorite beermakers that you don't see everywhere. Six-packs are competitively priced, some a little more and some a little less than other places. But it all evens out. I've noticed their 12-packs in the beer-cooler room are very reasonably priced (Schell's, Summit, especially). Elevated seems to get all the new and seasonal stuff in very quickly, and their create-yer-own six-pack option is intriguing, if a little spendy sometimes. Overall this is a great place; 'tis nice that they will give you a little discount each month for participating in their point-of-purchase customer tracking system. Employees are hip and friendly. Welcome to the neighborhood...I was getting sick of the other stores anyway. Beware in their parking lot...it's a little tight. read more

We took a huge risk after reading the previous reviews. My husband and I were completely blown away. The beer selection is off the charts. My husband found a couple of beers that he had given up hope on during our visit. He was emotional at one point because he was blown away. We loved how organized the beer selection was. We found an aisle for "funky" beers. Who does that? We are definitely coming back! read more

My favorite liquor store to visit in Minneapolis... hands down! Located right off the Hiawatha Line (so it has easy access and parking for both drivers and pedestrians), Elevated has a large variety of beer, wine and spirits. They take pride in selling local vendors and have a large assortment of gluten free/reduced beer options available (Omission, Stone Delicious IPA, Glutenberg, Venn, etc.). Another cool thing about Elevated is that they frequently have tastings (even on weeknights) so you can learn and try new products all the time. The staff is usually pretty helpful and friendly too! Also, I LOVE that Elevated has a loyalty program :) Its even more incentive for me to come back! read more

Super friendly staff who have provided this dilettante beer lover with great recommendations. Now, if only they could import Spotted Cow... Plus, they have a photo booth! read more

I decided to check out Elevated after a friend told me about their photo booth and knowledgeable staff. A photo booth in a liquor store? This could be interesting. I went 30 minutes before the ever-disappointing Vikings vs. Green Bay game and the staff were all friendly and even helped me find the perfect beer to pair with tacos and fried chicken (Deschutes Mirror Pond in case you need this unique pairing). One feature I didn't get to try out is the build your own six-pack, which had a more than decent selection of beers to your very own masterpiece. This particular evening they were sampling beers from Indeed Brewing. Here again the staff shared good info about this budding Northeast brewery. Although Elevated isn't close to me, I will definitely check it out again, especially since I was so preoccupied that I didn't take a photo in the booth. I would recommend checking it out if you're looking for a friendly experience when you're shopping for craft brews, you may even learn a thing or two. read more

This place is amazing. If you like trying new beers (this is definitely for you). Their make your own six pack is outstanding (kind of comparable to a mini library but with alcohol. Absolutely love the fact that I don't have to stick with the same beverage in my six pack; I can have six different beers in one pack. The employees are generally helpful and nice. read more

Great new addition to the neighborhood! Nice knowledgeable staff! I have visited several times since opening and every time I am greeted quickly with a smile and assistance. Elevated is right on Hiawatha making it a speedy stop, if you want it to be. I recommend hanging around for a moment. There is a mixer 6'er selection that is unmatched for the area, maybe even Minneapolis. 12 doors dedicated to craft beer six packs and bombers. Good selection of spirits as well as wine, but I haven't done too much fishing around in those areas yet. The prices are in line with others, some are a buck less some are a buck more; beer prices are spot on. read more

This store has a wide range of variety of beers and ciders. I enjoy that I can always find my favorite gluten free beer. Staff are always friendly too. read more

Place is awesome, BUT I can never use my 5$ reward because it has to be on a non sale item, nearly everything is on sale or I don't want the things that aren't on sale. I think it's a dumb program, they know people can't use it so why have it? I like the place anyway but I can't give it 5 stars because of their promotion that doesn't work for me. read more

Great shop for some wines, liquors, and beers. But, if they stop carrying a product, don't bother to ask to purchase a large amount via special order. Either they won't or can't order it for you. read more

I'll definitely add another 5 star review to this bunch. Elevated is freakin' awesome. They have a fantastic beer selection, the craft your own section has everything. Tons of refrigerated beer. The wine selection looks great, and they have a ton of cool looking spirits. They also have a loyalty program, where you spend a certain amount and get a discount, and it's based on how much you buy in one month. Very sweet. Plus, the people who work there are super friendly, helpful, and fun. read more

Top notch craft beer selection - if I'm ever looking for something local, I know Elevated will have it. Surly, Able, Modist, Fulton, Steel Toe, Fair State, Indeed, Insight, Sociable ... you name it, they have it. Their staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and the loyalty rewards are a nice perk. If I could give them six stars I would! read more

I like Elevated, a fairly new liquor store in the Longfellow neighborhood. It is very clean and modern feeling. They have great selection of craft beers and your standard liquor store finds. I like that you can create your own six-pack there, as well. read more

I don't know why I waited so long to stop in! Incredible selection of beers and the awesome ability to build your own six pack. Bourbon selection is pretty good too - low brow to high brow. Staff was friendly and helpful. read more

It's not often you see a mix-your-own sixer this extensive. There's six large shelves, each loaded with beer and organized by style. Truly a thing of beauty, it is. Prices are decent and staff has so far been welcoming and helpful. I tend to judge liquor stores by asking the employee for a good IPA and seeing what their response is. I was recommended Stone's Enjoy By 7.04.14 IPA and it was a real winner. Worth a stop if you're on Hiawatha and driving past. read more

Amazing selection. Often I have discovered a new brew here that I've yet to find elsewhere. Great service--someone is always willing to help me find the right beverage when I don't know what I'm looking for. read more

Great new liquor store. Fantastic Staff...Unique Selection...Competitive Pricing. Tasting room is a wonderful touch. I come all the way from White Bear Lake because they always have what i need. read more
