Mr Patel carded him and he proudly pulled out his wallet and showed them that he's legal ta drink now. I guess we all come of age at some point, but I've been an alcoholic for a while now. It's kind of funny we were reading the reviews on the store clerk/owner but we didn't have any issues while we were there. Maybe he learned his lesson. Like most small stores there was a limited option and the options available tended to be pretty pricy, but that's what you get when you're out lookin for booze @ 10:20 pm on a Wednesday night. Cest la vie

Shock and awe. I've…read morebeen doing the dirty around these parts for a little over a year now and it wasn't until just a few weeks ago that I finally made the trip in to what looks like some cruddy, run-down, sad-sad, liquor store in a mostly vacant and/or abandoned Palatine strip mall and I was blown away with a selection of sauces that would put a smirk on even a novice boozehound and/or liquor-pig. Shame.On.Me. I'll just say this up front, I don't know jack sh*t about wine. It's not really my thing, and I'm happy just going with whatever bottle has the best artwork and still manages to remain nominally priced. Basically, they might have a great or crappy wine selection, but I couldn't tell you. They had that Barefoot stuff, though... that's the classy one, right? Where this place shines is fo sho its beer selection. It's not huge, but they carry a lot of pretty rare stuff and a bunch of the stuff the other big box booze stores don't have. They do set limits on certain things, like maximum 2 per person on some bottle, but honestly, I'm a sucker for supply and demand so that kind of thing really excites me. Their selection is always changing and they're open later than any of the other bottled booze purveyors in this area. It's probably not a destination place, but if you're within a 12-15 minute range of here, it's worth popping over for a peak at their products.

I don't know if anyone's reading reviews of liquor stores, but I want to say nice things about Mr…read more A's, because I love buying booze here. Sometimes you go into a liquor store and it's just grim, grim, grim, with creepy lighting, dusty shelves, and cashiers that look like they want to die and they wish you were dead too. Mr. A's is the total OPPOSITE. It's clean, has a great selection of alcohol, mixers, and snacks, and yeah, I guess the lighting isn't creepy because I've never really noticed it? I typically just see two employees here, one of whom I think might be the Mr. A! He is extremely warm and friendly and always smiling. The second man is a little more reserved but always very nice and polite. There is this adorable little black dog one of them has, that's kind of the store mascot it seems. There are rather professional looking photos of him/her around the store, greeting customers and making recommendations. I think that's a nice touch. I wish the actual dog could be in the store-how awesome would it be to have a little pooch helping you make a wine selection? Only thing that would make the place better, in my opinion.

The store is always clean and the beer prices are very competitive. The staff (usually one guy - the owner?) is always cheerful and he gives the correct change!! Some small places nickel and dime you - sad but true! This is a nice store to pop into if you don't want to deal with the enormity of Binny's or the Jewel. It is also conveniently located in the same strip mall as Tortorice's Pizza so you can grab some beer to go with your pizza.

I visited United Liquors to inquire about Cutwater singles and Pink Whitney. When I politely asked…read moreabout stock and pricing, the clerk's response was unnecessarily rude. Beyond the poor service, the prices were notably high. Unfortunately, the quality of the Pink Whitney I purchased was poor--it tasted stale, as if it had been sitting on the shelf for months. After drinking it, I became ill and experienced a severe migraine. I suspect the product may have been expired or improperly stored. I would advise others to inspect bottles carefully before purchasing here.

That in conjunction with the property which is sprawling and offers plenty of outside space to enjoy as well. No food here, but they do host different food trucks and events (live music, yoga, festive holiday, etc). I've seen everything from big kids to mini me's to fury friends outside. If Long Grove is having a festival (when do they not ;) Feel free to take your beer in a plastic to go cup and bring with to the festival. Alas, you will not find Buffalo type beers at the festival. Interestingly enough, you will not find a Buffalo booth at the festivals, at least there was not one for Strawberry Fest; but it's a short walk across the parking lot to secure a good german pour and get your fest on.
