The parking is what keeps this from being a 5. There are a few spaces in front, but the traffic moving through the lot with the pub and Club Sin/Callahans makes it hard to back out when trying to leave. There's an ATM on site as well.

I thought he was just joking around, talking to my dog that was in the seat next to me. He said that I had an open container in my car. I had been moving and the can was trash that I had picked off of the floor of the car from a swim bag. I had forgotten to throw away the can. So I said okay, I threw away the can in the dumpster plus some other trash I had and went inside. I told him I had the trash away and he still said he couldn't serve me. I am a 44 year old woman. I am a local resident of Carbondale and have been my whole life. I have been a customer at your liquor store for a long period of time. I am really shocked how I was treated. Especially since I was completely sober. I don't understand why? Did the drive thru attendant/manager think I had a cork screw in my purse to open the wine I wanted and drink it right there out of the bottle while I was driving with my 3 dogs in the car with me. Absolutely ridiculous! I will call tomorrow and speak to the manager Ray or the owners but I will not let this go.

There is a generous selection of local southern wines, but some of the bottles are older than they should be. European wine is almost non-existent. The selection is aimed at the under $15 range, but oddly there are few exceptions at $75, with nothing in between.

Utter trash. I get that IL has a higher liquor tax and that it's necessary to mark up…read moreharder-to-find bottles. Other stores in Carbondale do it too, and they generally limit shelf availability at any given time, as well as number of daily bottle purchases, to reduce secondary market gouging. That said, it's embarrassing when a retailer -- not a secondary market online seller -- gouges beyond what is ethically appropriate. EH Taylor Small Batch = $180, Blanton's = $275. These are $35-40 and $55-60 bottles, respectively. The owner gives me some sheepish grin, a shrug, and a "these are allocated products" line. Yeah, for you and for every other store in town. For every store in Kentucky, for that matter. Now, I'm sure they sit behind the shelf collecting dust for quite a while, but occasionally some college-aged kid or newbie comes in, sees Blanton's, recalls that it's a "hard to find" product and pays that price, thinking that's how the market works. This place is a shame, and if Carbondale's economy is dying off, let's just say that it wouldn't be anyone's loss if this place closed down first.

There's also food like burgers and pretzels. Basically the setup is pretty confusing. It's got a couple bars inside. There's one that only has a few of the beers, and the other has more. Kind of an unorganized feeling. The beers are pretty good prices for most ones it seems. It's about $5 a pint. The best one of these we had was the Buckwater Stout. It has biscuit and caramel flavors. This is a heart beer that's not so thick. Also there's food. It's about $11 for the Bavarian Pretzel. Good for sharing, and absorbing alcohol. There's also burgers if wanting to get meaty. For sure it's the place to go in town if wanting locally brewed craft beers. It's closed Sundays and Mondays. They have a happy hour in the evening on weekdays.

Came looking to have a few drinks. It's a place that certainly has some. They also have good prices for these. Basically there's not really an atmosphere. This feels more like a part of the hotel it seems. It's $2 for domestic beers at happy hour. They have the basics like Miller Lite. Have no idea about the food people talk about. They turned out to not have shit. It's about $1 for potato chips. They must have changed the menu since the last time. Has a pretty good happy hour. It's the best thing about it. This is located on Giant City Road next to the Best Western.

We ordered appetizers a calzone ( burnt in on end, blackened on the bottom -bitter tasting) and a sandwich ( warm, chips oily and soggy). It seems like there are only 2-3 staff working on a graduation / Mother's Day weekend ???? Service was slow but these folks were clearly overwhelmed. They were polite and apologetic for the food preparation time. There were very few folks there so they weren't slammed busy and overwhelmed, just overwhelmed. We likely won't be back. $325 Dinner and drinks bill and any chain place with mid quality drinks and food ( Chilis, Applebee's, Cheddars, ) would be 1/2 the cost and clearly better. An upscale place ( Flame, Texas Roadhouse, Outback) would be a way bether choice for comparable money. The Venue is stunning and looks clean. Hopefully they get it together, or get someone in the space who can. Disappointed at best.

Fruit and cheese plate had some nice jam, but the presentation was off. Crab cakes were small. Also, the menu on their website was slightly outdated. I would still recommend this location as it's very classy, great for groups, and plenty of parking. Service was excellent. Indoor and outdoor seating.
