Always a pleasure. Staff knows their stuff, hours are good, and I've enjoyed every visit.

Holy Beer, Batman! I have never, NEVER seen such a collection of craft beers and microbrews, all crammed into a smallish store in aging strip-mall-land. Like opening the door to beer nirvana! Small but quite decent wine selection; an interesting, if not as complete collection of liquors. Quite friendly and pleasant folks behind the counter. Did I mention the eclectic variety of meads and ciders? If it's alcoholic, brewed and bubbly, you will find it here. read more

Parti-Pak Liquors is a craft beer oasis, unassumingly camouflaged in the middle of Greenwood near a rail line of all places.There are multiple aisles of buried beer treasure, ranging from local to international breweries. I find it hard to stay within budget when shopping at Parti-Pak. I'm slowly perusing the shelves...then gasp...a Mikkelller, Stillwater or Prairie ale I haven't seen before! I wants it, I needs it...must have the precious! There is almost an entire aisle of Belgium and French ales only, if you're into imports. Parti-Pak also allows you to customize 6-packs out almost anything you want, so you get to explore more beers than you typically would. They also have Underberg near the check-out counter, another perk in my book. Ignore the worn exterior/interior and deceiving name; visit Parti-Pak, prepare to squeal with delight, and spend more than you intended. Your inner craft beer aficionado will forever thank you. read more

Parti-Pak Liquors is definitely not much to look at. In fact, from its exterior it looks like the liquor store you'd find in the "bad" part of town in any major city replete with homeless guys panhandling for spare change for booze. Have no fear, Parti-Pak Liquors is on the far Southside of Indy right across the street from Southport Public Library so the neighborhood is safe and you won't be accosted in the parking lot by anyone other than perhaps a Purdue fan wondering if its basketball team will ever beat IU again. Anyway, while Parti-Pak is a full service liquor store, its liquor and wine selection leaves a lot to be desired with better selection and prices being found elsewhere. Beer is what Parti-Pak does best. While it does carry the popular, brewed for the masses "American" beers from the foreign-owned Anheuser-Busch InBev, SABMiller, and Molson Coors, Parti-Pak's wheelhouse is its selection of American-owned, American-made craft beers including a comprehensive selection of Hoosier State brews at the best prices to be found on the Southside and, perhaps, the city. If those mega-beers from foreign-owned conglomerates are more to your liking, prices will be better elsewhere. I found my Three Floyds' Alpha King, Triton's Railsplitter IPA, and Upland's Dragonfly IPA and left happy. Parti-Pak is my stop of first choice for craft beer. read more

Party Pak Liquors is great! It's really random - as Marc K. pointed out, the building is entirely unassuming. It looks just like any other liquor store and is in a location where you definitely would not expect to find an amazing selection of beers! A sign on the front window boasts that they have the largest selection of specialty beers in the city, if not the state, and once you get past the 80's rock that they blare on the outside speakers and make your way inside, you will find out that the sign does not lie. If you have a special beer that you can't find anywhere else, head to Party Pak Liquors - they will probably have it, but if they don't they will order it for you. Assembling your own six pack is one of the best parts of a trip to Party Pak! I made my own hefeweizen sampler and my boyfriend tried a variety of beers from Brooklyn Brewery. The prices aren't bad either - mine varied from $1.29 to $1.89 a bottle! The aisles are cramped and all of the clientele aren't exactly beer connoisseurs, but it's worth it! read more

All of the reviews are accurate, well close. This store is not in the middle of Greenwood, it is north of Greenwood by two or three miles. but the selection is excellent. The employees are almost always helpful in finding something (if they are busy making/taking money, they will ask you to wait, but that is how it works, dont get angry, you only make money at the register) read more

The sketchy hole-in-the wall by the train tracks?! Yes! That's the one; it hosts the most immense selection of beer around--with copious wine & liquor offerings to boot! The staff's equally expensive knowledge satiates even the most drunken boozing inquiries. Alas! Be wary, Thirsty Traveller! The lack in price tagging quickly sobers-up ye olde pocketbook. read more

I love this place! I can't wait to go back! So many options to build your own six pack. The price is based on the beer so it's up to you to go all out and get rare beers, or an eclectic mixture of your favorite go-to brews. The prices are not on the individual bottles or on the shelf but a good rule of thumb is that if the beer is sitting in a four-pack, it is going to be more expensive. They have a wide selection in a compact space. Don't forget to go near the cash registers if you're more of a can vs bottle person. I think we were so excited when we got in the door we just wanted to start picking our packs. This is a business that does a great job of stocking lots of microbrews without any fuss. My 6 pack of beers from smaller breweries was $13 after tax (I rounded up). I will definitely go again! Tip: look for an empty, or nearly empty six pack holder on the shelves to safely get your beer to the counter to check out. read more

Go here for beer. Seriously, massive selection. Largest I've seen in any liquor store. Decent wine, booze selection but go for the beer. This is truly amazing. read more

Whatever you are looking for... They have it! They have it all! From Mallow Run wine to Zombie Dust (which comes in on Thursdays and sells out instantly!) The service is amazing, the staff is friendly, and the selection is outstanding! My favorite liquor store in Indy! You can't beat it! read more

OUTSTANDING beer selection. Craft from around the world. Okay local selection. Huge German selection. Huge Belgian section. They have plenty of Norwegian and Swedish beers. Even more Danish beers, to wrap up Scandinavia. Hell, if it is from Europe, they have it. Japanese craft beer, REPRESENT. Best selection that I have found in Indiana (and anywhere else I have looked, honestly.) Very, very nice rum and Irish whiskey selection. The big boys are all represented by their flagship, luxury choices. read more

Looking for an obscure liquor or beer and can't find it at your usually stop? This is the place to go. Don't let looks deceive you, they have liquor everywhere. With shelves running overhead it feels more like a library than a liquor store. And the best part for me was the insane selection of tiny liquor bottles. I am a sucker for tiny bottles. And they have over 100 different selections. And to top it all off, we talked to 3 different employees and they were not only friendly, but helpful as well. read more

Best selection of craft aBnd hard to find beer on the south side. Super helpful staff and friendly. You can get lost in the beer aisles!

Never would have expected such a huge selection of our Wisconsin favorites (hinterland beer!), yet alone an extreme packer fan at the register. But I have a feeling that this place has most of your hard-to-find microbrews stacked 12 feet high and bottles of liquor that have been discontinued for a few decades. Fun service. Great selection. Cheap. =] read more

This place is a beer lover's paradise. I live on the northwest side, and it was totally worth the drive. They have an unbelievable selection and are very knowlegable. The staff definitely knows about beer. Apparently, they have free beer tasting from 6p-9p on Fridays. The building is unassuming at best and the aisles are skinny because so much is packed in to this small space. Everything can be purchased by the bottle, so it's great for making your own new 6 pack! Check it! read more

I think the best thing to state is this place has a rocking beer collection, including ciders and meads. I stopped in on a whim and was really surprised (other friends have boasted of its collection). I was just surprised at how small the place is, but how much beer one could fit in. The great thing is if you see a six pack on the shelf and only want one, you just grab it out. You don't have to take the whole thing. The cider collection was fantastic, which is unusual. I picked up items I hadn't heard of or hadn't been able to try yet. I'll keep coming back here for the unique beers...I mean it's like going into a library, but instead of books, it's beer. read more

Not impressive by the outside but they have a GREAT selection of beer and liquor. I created a 6 pack and had a hard time choosing between everything! Bookmarked and going back!! read more

Ignore the run-down, ghetto look and the sometimes ridiculous music blaring on the outside of this liquor store. This is a beer-lovers heaven. They boast the largest beer selection in Indianapolis, and they aren't lying. If it's distributed in the United States, Party Pak has it. My beer education came while living in California, and I can get every one of the beers I learned on at this store. You can buy single bottles, 6 packs, or mix-n-match 6 packs of just about any beer imaginable. They have what seems to be a sizeable liquor section, but I can't speak to it as I only come here for the beer. It can get a little pricey, but is definitely worth the money when you look at the quality you are getting. Their salespeople can look up a beer for you and show you exactly where it's at. This is a must-stop before any party. read more

This is the first and last word for beer shopping in Indianapolis. Not just on the south side, in all of Indianapolis. Go ahead, try to stump them. If they don't have it, no store in town will. read more

If heaven was full of beer, I would imagine it would be just like Parti-Pak! The selection of craft beer here is unsurpassed by anyone else in the Indy area. Even, in the state of Indiana for that matter. You can find all American craft beer greats here as well as obscure beers from other countries such as Belgium and Germany. My only complaint is that I spend too much time and money in this store, but I can live with that. read more

Have a huge selection of craft beers. Clerk was very knowledgeable and helpful. Go purchase the wells banana bread beer. You won't regret it and it's hard to find at other stores! read more

Best liquor store in Indianapolis. Every time I bring a friend there for the first time, they are amazed by the vast and overwhelming selection they have. They never disappoint and several of the staff often have great suggestions. The variety of beers they carry is unsurpassed and always pleases the beer snobs in my life. read more

Great place - good selection of all types of alcohol - I will hit it again every time I'm within the area, even if its a 30 min drive out of my way. read more

Absolutely the best! Excellent selection of beer, wine, liquor and specialty sodas. Worth the drive if you don't live nearby.

This place has a huge beer selection as others have noted. Parti-Pak has a fine assortment of liquors too. Unfortunately, inventory alone doesn't make a place good. My girlfriend and I came in here around 0100 on a Saturday after a hard day of moving--completely sober, mind you--to get some bourbon and wine. I'd heard good things about Parti-Pak and wanted to check it out. I was impressed with the wares, but the guy working the counter was a prick. Now, I don't care that someone kisses my ass when they ring me up. I don't need to be asked "How are you today?" and other meaningless pleasantries; I simply want prompt, professional service. The guy working this night was actively trying to be an asshole. We stood by the bourbon counter for some time, deciding what to get. He saw me over there for several minutes, and didn't come over. I walked over to him and asked for some 1792, to which he said nothing, and after a few seconds, trudged over to the bourbon rack. We waited by the checkout counter until he returned. Then this guy proceeded to ignore us for an uncomfortably long time--while performing no apparent task--when, still silent, he points in an exaggerated fashion to a different register. My girl complimented him on the selection in the store, to which he replied, "Uh huh." She told him she recently moved from Colorado, and asked if they have any liquor or brews from there. He stared at her and said "You got a brand name?" Hey genius, if she wanted a particular brand, she'd ask for that brand. If I'm asking you about brews from a general area, I'm hoping YOU got the brand name, since you know, you work in a liquor store. If you don't know, just say so. If anyplace else was open, I'd have gone there for my bourbon, and I will in the future. Why should I give money to a place where I'm treated like I'm unwelcome? Sorry, but I won't be treated like shit just to shop a large beer selection. Two stars for the inventory. Hire someone with the politeness of a typical kid at McDonald's, and I'll up that to five. Hell, you could hire a mute, and it'd be an improvement. read more

Found this place while visiting Indy from Florida. Was hoping to find some good microbrews to bring home. What a find this was! The staff was extremely helpful and the owner even offered ideas while walking around with me. I'm not a liquor guy so I didn't check that section, but the craft beer selection was great. I was looking more for locals but I noticed an incredibly large amount of European beers. I visited a lot of stores looking for beers I can't get back home and Parti-Pak was the most helpful. I'll be back anytime I take a trip into town. Thank you for the great service! read more

Another liquor store employee suggested we stop here after trying to find Crispin Extra Day (cannot find anything but the regular, anywhere..) They not only had that, but some other near-impossible to find liqueurs as well. Great staff, friendly and always willing to double/triple check to see if something was hidden away. The beer selection is frankly astounding and overwhelming! read more
