Red Castle Liquor

I dropped into this place late one August and I haven’t been back despite it’s convenient location in relation to my home. For starters, if you’re the sort of person that likes to browse through a liquor store forget it. Everything is behind the counter… and behind bullet proof glass. That’s right, this place is so concerned about being robbed that they have armored glass that would make a bank teller green with envy.
When I went in a number of men were hanging out behind the glass chatting. They were relaxed and seemed be having a good time. It might have had something to do with the fact that I could see that the six packs in the cooler behind them were missing a few bottles. Clearly these guys had never seen Scarface. However, overall they were pretty nice even if they did try pretty hard to upsell me on the bourbon I was buying.
Oh, and one last thing, they had a slushy machine going right next to the window. I asked what it was for and they said some people like frozen alcoholic drinks. When I asked if they could sell those legally the held up a handful of mini-​bottles and suggested that I mix my own. So they have takeaway strawberry daquiris. There’s that.
Final Verdict: Any place whose employees are so concerned about being shot at is no place I’ll be going back to. Gentlemen, you have plenty of character and you seem like nice folks but alas I will not be frequenting you establishment.
