The folks who work there are always super friendly & helpful. I've had a few samples there, which is fun! They also have seasonal decor up above the fridges, so it's a cute touch. I've never come across anything that I wasn't able to find there, which is great! I'll keep Midway as my regular spot :)

The selection is rather small, they've got your basics and a few craft beer selections. The prices are higher than most stores in the area so you are paying for the convenience if you are in the neighborhood. I picked up a new beer I haven't tried and it's very good (Ursa Minor Brewing Galactic Face Slap). If you want a convenient local spot this is nice to have around the corner but if you want better prices I'd go up the street for more options.

I have a neighborhood place I regular, but if I am in this area (or happen to be stopping at Little Caesar's next door) this is a must stop. They have a very decent selection of beers and they do a great job of featuring the local and unique. Prices are generally competitive, with deals that make the prices even better. As far as liquor stores go, I like this place. I think you'll like it too.

Based on reviews I chose East Lake and stopped in. As you can imagine it was pretty much empty on a Thursday around 1pm. Other reviews mentioned the great prices, I wouldn't say anything I looked at was a good deal- pretty average pricing if not more. As a reminder, this isn't total wine so if you're looking for cheaper options based on buying in bulk this is not the place. But if you're looking to support a local business and the community then come on over. Staff were friendly and helpful. Didn't seem to mind answering questions or giving recommendations when asked. Checking out was super simple and it was nice to see more customers coming in. I hear the shirts are a hot commodity here, I didn't see them but heard they only have smalls left lol. I'll definitely stop back in when I'm in the area and would recommend checking out.

A couple of weeks ago, I went and as soon as I went through the door, this lady rudely said, "Dogs are not allowed! You have to leave."

But, the fact that I now have to sit in a hot car while a friend gets my liquor is SUPER frustrating. If you don't like dogs, that's your own personal beef. But, this is not a food establishment and I'm not letting my dog walk around (I always hold her), so what's the issue? I get people can be allergic, but in a place that large, and I'm not petting my pup (just holding her), why does it matter? You're literally losing customers because one lady doesn't like dogs...
