I was excited to check this place out while visiting from out of town, especially since there…read morearen't many one-stop shops nearby that offer both craft beers and spirits. Unfortunately, I left a bit disappointed. The craft beer selection was a bunch of heavy-hitters like IPAs, hazies, and DIPAs. There wasn't much variety beyond that, no pilsners, lagers, sours, etc. I was also hoping to pick up gin and vermouth for martinis but the spirits were mostly a variety of whiskey and tequila. It feels very tailored to local preferences, which makes sense, but for visitors or those with different tastes, it doesn't offer much beyond the basics. In addition, although the cashier was friendly and made an effort to help, he didn't seem very knowledgeable in what he was selling. If I had to guess, I'd say he hasn't spent much time exploring breweries outside the area, or even within it. Overall, it's just another liquor store, nothing special.

You are stocked with specialty liquors that can be a mish to find in most bustling metropolises. Any place that carries my Lambic (don't mock the chick beer) in almost all flavors (peach sold out?...sacrilege!) has my love (and if you want to keep it that way, you will make it peachy again). I digs your boy working the shop who was oh so informative. After picking my poison, a mixology sesh ensued. Realizing he had a flavor tripper amongst him (uh-huh), he threw out some recs. Shazam! He got me at Pinnacle. What can I say, that Vodka has been on my "gimmie" list for a cool minute and really booze that taste like whipped cream and cake (yea, you heard right...told you there was a God) requires no explanation (testify). Seeing I meant business, he was also kind enough to throw in a shaker (I adore freebies) to help with my potions (you so get me). Thank you, DL, this is thee only spot in town I will quench my thirst and sweet tooth. Oh and my liquid 50/50 bar (pinnacle whipped cream vodka & crush orange soda) was sinfully creamsiclicious!

Friendly Liquor Store =Not friendly at all!…read more I wanted to put this out there because I know there are plenty of people who want to be treated with respect when going into a store to purchase gas or even beverages/food. I just got back from the worst convenient store experience of my life at Friendly Liquor Store. I had just bought gas at the pump & went inside to buy fountain sodas. As I went to fill up the soda I could tell it was out of carbonation, so I tasted the soda & sure enough it tasted bad. I dumped it to get a different soda & the guy at the register started getting rude with me & came over to me to tell me there is nothing wrong with the soda. He even pressed it & fizz just poured out & he even then said nothing was wrong with it! He continued to argue with me, which I was astounded by how rude this man was to a customer so I argued right back with him that I have worked in food service & know when it's time to change the soda out. It was amazing how quickly he became quiet after I told him that. I have never been to this store but now I will never do business there ever again! I am just trying to save others from an awful experience like I had, & I paid for awful tasting sodas on top of that. I feel the public should be aware of local stores that cause issues to customers. (Giving it a 1 star is even being generous...I will spread the word that this store is awful.)
