Store offers everything liquor, including the coveted Crown Royal Peach. Can't find it anywhere in the states, but got my two bottles here!

All the necessities, good service, small aisles, always crowded…read more I go in here sometimes because it's relatively near where I live and, if you just need any of your familiar corporate brand names of liquor, they have a very exhaustive stock. (I don't shop here for beer... as their selection is not great). The prices aren't shocking, but they are notably cheaper than getting liquor in Royal Oak. The people who run this store are no-nonsense, but they're relatively friendly, and they seem to know the people they're serving somewhat well... I take it the same family's been running it for a while. While I was there today, I watched as one of the sellers gave a free ice cream sandwich to a little 3 year old. It's a pretty big convenience store as well, and they have the biggest collection of lotto tickets I've seen in this state. Usually a third of the people in this store are purchasing or playing lotto tickets. The place is always crowded and conversational, almost always a few drunks will be in the mix. If the aisles weren't so damned small, I wouldn't think too much of the crowds, but, you end up in everybody's face and brushing shoulders just trying to get anywhere in the store. I've never had a problem, but it's a little intense. The politics of "looking" and walking by people in Detroit is as complex a sign-system as they come, and being in Vernor Express always makes me very conscious of that fact.

So far, this place is my favorite liquor store in the area. They have a large selection of beer…read moreand wine, as well as a HUGE selection of liquor. There is also a small grocery towards the back with milk, juice, eggs, sandwiches, etc. The staff is also really nice and talkative, which is kind of unusual but definitely welcomed.

Whoa-ho-ho, good thing I came along because I don't know how many people would be qualified to rate…read morethis place through having had both Happy Four's pizza and Happy Four's liquor. We came to this place one night a couple of years ago but my buddy didn't want to go inside as there was a homeless man in a tall toque staring us down with his crazy buggy eyes. (A toque is what you Americans call a sock hat :) We didn't let that deter us though; the only thing it made us do was deem this liquor store the 'Toque Toque Liquor Store.' Since then, we have returned countless times as it is conveniently located and has some great pizza. For $2.50 you get a slice of pepperoni pizza that's providing you with enough calories & fat for your entire week - gawd damn it is delicious! As for the beer selection, there are some worthwhile finds like Original Coors, but it's also not a home-run beer selection as there are only 4 or 5 coolers full (of beer). Nevertheless, you can always find a cold 8 or 9% 40oz of some sort as well as something like O.G. Coors or Newcastle Brown if that type of beer is more desired. Lastly, I'd say this place is pretty relaxed and safe overall. We've had homeless people hanging out asking for change, but they're just trying to get a beer like you & I. In addition, we've seen kids run in to snatch & grab chocolate bars, but again, that's not anything that really threatened our safety. In addition, our friend's Camry was having starter problems one day and the shop owner came outside & fixed the problem in 5 minutes, then went back inside like nothing happened - the shopkeepers appear to be good people. I wouldn't let the rough outside appearance deter you, I've seen everyone from hobos, to suits, to fratboys in here & they've all left with a smile.

Shot part of a Detroit 187 episode here. Looks like it could be dangerous at night, bring a friend…read morealong if ya just gotta get 1 more bottle of Night Train!
