Minnesota is one of those fine states that doesn't sell alcohol or tobacco products at…read moresupermarkets, it seems.... at least the local grocery concern in Bemidji doesn't. Aside: Technically speaking, campers at State Parks in Minnesota are prohibited from consuming alcoholic beverages... not that this seems to be enforced or enforceable, but the inconvenience of an extra stop for a bottle of wine and a twelver of Bud Light seems silly. Whatever. That all being the case, I ducked in to Bemidji Discount Liquor on the way back to our campsite. It was raining pretty hard, so while I had ice slowly melting in the Tahoe, I wasn't in a giant hurry to get back to camp, soggy as it was. Signage prohibiting entry of anyone under 21 didn't phase my 40 year old self, and somebody's underage kid opened the door for me. Stay classy, Bemidji. I found me 24 pack of Bud Light without much ado, but it took me a minute to realize, while hunting for a decent bottle of Pinot Noir for Mrs. Picante, that the wines were all organized alphabetically, not by varietal. I grabbed a decent one, and headed for the register. Good prices, nice folks. Incidentally, if you're looking for tobacco... That's a third stop on your way back to camp or home in Minnesota. Lucky for you, there's a smoke shop next door to the west and a gas station next door to the east.... Because selling food, drinks, and smokes under the same roof is so damned California after all.

I've visited this liquor store a few times while in the area. It has a decent amount of parking in…read morethe front. They have a large selection of wine which I was a bit surprised at, including a small selection that is Minnesota made which I often look for. They have whiskey, vodka, and other hard liquors easily sectioned and labeled as such. Plenty of space to walk and browse around. Prices are reasonable but may be a few dollars higher for some brands than larger liquor stores, nothing outrageous that I could see. On my last visit I picked up a bottle of a Minnesota wine for the New Year. I was waiting on a short amount of time in line as they were running two registers. A polite woman helped me pay for the wine and while it was processing, we chatted about a town in Minnesota and our recent visits there. She was very nice, polite, and professional. Made great conversation while she rang up my item and the payment was processing. I could tell it was a busy day but from her demeanor it didn't seem to bother her a bit or change her attitude towards customers. Overall there's a great selection, polite employees, and reasonable prices.

They have the only walk in beer cave and a decent selection of craft beers, including from the local brewery. I don't go to a store to make friends so I really don't care if the clerk wants to chit chat. I'm happy if they have a good selection and reasonable prices and I can get in and out quickly. If you live here or didn't stock up before you left the Cities, Walker Bay Spirits is a good option.

Now, if you have read my previous reviews, I am a bit of a snob. So, this is the place to go if you want to imbibe something a little classy (yes, they do have cheap stuff too). Their prices are average at best, but not to worry if it is the only place you can get your favorite bottle or beer. Honestly, check out both stores if you are in Walker. I mean, come on, it is not that big. You will have time! However, you will most likely be back here when your fanciness takes hold.
