They are a small store and if you're looking for wine or spirits, they have a pretty standard selection. However, if you're looking for specialty beer, this is your place. They have so many rare or more difficult to find beers and really focus on local and craft brews. We always find something we've never seen before when we come here. Staff are also very friendly and helpful if you're looking for something specific.

In my *cough* *cough* years of existence living in the Twin Cities, I don't think I have ever come across the intersection of English and Frost in Maplewood before. I guess that is what Yelp is about, right? Finding great businesses you never would have on your own. Awesome beer selection here, including a large make your own six pack selection. Went with the following: Brooklyn Brewery Monster Ale (first time I have seen this anywhere, and it will be my first to sample), Lagunitas Sucks Brown Shugga Substitute Ale (also first time seeing this anywhere), Left Hand Sawtooth Ale, Great Divide Denver Pale Ale, Kona Fire Rock Pale Ale, and Big Sky IPA. Grand total? 12 bucks. Pretty reasonable, if you ask me. Guy at the register was a little slow ringing up the product. Took what felt like five minutes. He said he was filling in. No biggie.

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.

I entered to a pretty full bar but surprisingly quiet. Just a bunch of chill folk having a drink! I made my way to the bar where three chairs were empty; as I tried to get situated the kind gal to my left and the kind gentleman to my right pulled each stool closer to them so I could get in on the middle one. So kind! I ordered a drink and after friendly bartender Evan poured the vodka I asked "you take cards?" Evan said they do not but there's an ATM in the corner. As I was starting to grab my purse while I apologized for him pouring the vodka. The ridiculously kind stranger a couple chairs away said "I got her". I turned to him in shock, "oh my goodness you do not have to do that!" He was insistent! This is unheard of!! As Evan was making my drink I asked the kind man his name? He replied "I'm not chatty" I chuckled "oh I'm not trying to talk to you, I just wanted to be able to say: oh Paul brought me a drink." He declined and a few minutes later he quietly left. Shortly after I arrived I didn't realize the two gals to my left stepped out. When they returned I noticed her purse as I asked: WHAT are you doing? This is St Paul, you don't walk away from your purse like that? She chuckled while replying: nahh, I know these people. If that doesn't tell you all you need to know about Vic's! Despite wanting to replay his kindness I fully intend to stop back in to this quiet neighborhood gem. Alas, prepared w cash! What a fantastic place!!

Fortunately, when you drop by Glen Lake Wine and Spirits, it doesn't matter how well versed you are on wines. This little shop has a great wine section - many, many different bottles of vino in varying price ranges. Don't fret, you tennis playing MInnetonka housewives, there's plenty of good vodka, too! The employees at Glen Lake Wine and Spirits are really helpful - recently, I walked in and said, "Hey, I'm going to mull some wine, so I want something cheap, dry, and with a good flavor." The guy behind the counter took me to a $6 bottle and said, "This is your wine." Seriously, it happened just like that. And you know what? It was perfect! Protip: When you're browsing the wine section, look for the tags under the bottles that have the employee faces on them. They're usually priced very well - often on sale - and are really well-described. (e.g. "Figgy taste, smooth finish, pairs well with steak.") These folks have the knowledge to be wine snobs, but they're not. They're just as comfortable telling you about the wide variety of local microbrews that they carry, the strange and exotic vodkas (today I saw a buttered popcorn flavored variety!) and the many other alcohols that they carry. Best yet, you're not going to go broke here. Nothing is over-priced. It's inexpensive, reasonable, and great customer service is always included. What more would you want?
