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.

Thank you, Brian R. Beer geek heaven sums it up…read moreJohnny O likey Place is kind of small with a 50's vibe and a little off the beaten path for me. 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.

You let them know what you are looking for and they always have a bunch of recommendations for you. I give them a price point of what I'm looking for and they never disappoint in giving me a list of different selections. They also offer 20% off when you buy a case. This is awesome because I like to get some of my standards and mixing in some of the wines they recommend too. I love supporting a local business and The Wine Shop makes it so easy to do so because they never disappoint.

McDonald's Liquor has a nice variety of sake, soju, Asian whiskey's, and plenty of THC friendly drinks to choose from. The newer walk in beer fridge is a great addition as well. The crown on the cake is the rewards membership they offer that is point based. Ask about it, because it's a pretty good deal. Support the small businesses in Minneapolis!

They're knowledgeable, friendly, and actually enjoy helping customers, which makes the entire experience feel easy and personal.

That level of customer care is rare and speaks volumes about how much they value their customers and community. This isn't just a place to grab a bottle--it's a liquor store that builds relationships. You can tell pride is taken in both the product and the people who walk through the door. Exceptional staff. Great selection. Unmatched customer experience. Best liquor store, hands down.

I'm 30 years old from California and came in with her (she's paying and purchasing) and they were so ungodly disrespectful and rude and told us to leave because I didn't have my ID (she did). Told my mom she couldn't buy the alcohol since I didn't have my id (after I walked out) MY MOTHER WAS BUYING AND IM 30 YEARS OLD. We came back to tell my dad the experience and he said "why would you ever go there? Every-time I go they're such dicks" - we will be telling the neighborhood to never go here.
