Liquor Boy

Funny to me that I’ve shopped at the St. Louis Park Costco a billion times but never really noticed the Liquor Boy until someone at work mentioned it to me. At any rate, popped in to take a look-​see, and glad I did. The Liquor Boy has a large selection of beer, from your Buds and such up to some pretty decent craft beer. Their craft selection is decent and fairly expansive. That said, I did not find anything that really wowed me or surprised me. In the end, I wound up buying the one beer I came in for (the sale my friend mentioned to me) and then leaving without buying anything else. If you were on the hunt for a quick case to take to a party or throw in the cooler, this would certainly do the trick at a fine price. But if you were looking for something unique or special, I would recommend one of our other local bottle shops.

I recently stopped in Liquor Boy for a bottle of wine for a party. I left with 2 boxes of wine and spirits for less than $ 100. I felt like I was at Target to get toothpaste only to walk out with a cart full of things I didn’t plan on buying… I’m certainly not complaining, especially with the great prices at Liquor Boy. Not only am I always happy with the prices and selection, the help is outstanding. They even carried my boxes out to my car for me! Great store. Knowledgable and friendly staff. I’m 51 years old, and when they asked for my ID, I wasn’t put off at all. They really only wanted to be sure my debit card was mine — I have too many wrinkles and gray hair to believe they were questioning my age! Also, I shopped on a Monday morning when the crowd was small and the parking lot was easy to navigate — just a tip from me to you!

Unbelievable… the cheapest prices I have ever found for booze. Great deals especially on beer. 24 pack miller lite $ 14! Who finds that? Hard liquor very cheap as well plus great layout

Best place to shop for any occasion for liquor in the midwest. Besides great selection of unique brands, no one could beat their prices and great sales. Clean, inviting and pet friendly too.

Stopped in to Liquor Boy on Christmas Eve. It had been a long day at work and I wanted some nice wine to go with Christmas Dinner. I was perusing the wine aisles and one of the workers asked if I needed help. I said I needed a red to go dinner and he pointed me to a couple of options, which also happened to be on sale. The wine was ok, but the experience was great.
I have stopped in a few other times and I have always been impressed with their selection, particularly the craft beer selection. Especially some of the great smaller breweries from outside Minnesota (they have a great selection of MN brews too). It’s a great store.

Good prices & selection, terribly rude staff. She made me go back to my car for my ID; I’m 35, my husband’s 40, but fine, his ID isn’t good enough. But when I asked for my ID back & asked what would happen if I didn’t have it, she started yelling at me! OK, fine, I’ll go to my car for my ID, but just be polite! What happened to customer service?

I’ve been the store a lot of times. But this experience was just unheard of. The lady asked me for a picture ID. Obviously over the age of 21. And I said look at the back of my credit card it has a picture. No, that won’t due. Then she proceeded to tell me told me about how how every credit current transaction you have to show a picture ID. I guess it doesn’t count if your picture is on the back of the credit card. Don’t think of a comeback to here! This was definitely a first!

Customer service sucks! The manage is rude and unprofessional!
The cashier asked for my Drivers license, which I just renewed due to the four year rule, which expires today, on birthday. so it was clipped. She asked to see the «yellow» slip, which I gave her and then asked me WHY my license was clipped. That is non of her business!!! Then she asked if the person next to me was with me. Again, non of her business! As a customer I was offended! Too many unnecessary questions all for one bottle of wine? Never ever have I had to deal with such rude people at a liquor store!
I decided to return the bottle of wine I just brought, the manager told me No, because wine is tempered-​control and once it leaves the store it cannot be returned or some non-​sense like that, but I can get store credit. Basically, he is not giving me my money back!
I told him. «I not coming back that is why I wanted to return the bottle in the first place. He kept asking if I wanted to get store credit. I told him «no, I am not coming back»! I kept the wine and told him «it’s the liquor store, not wine I don’t like and left»!

This is the place to buy your booze. I am always impressed with the prices and selection available. There are often tastings going on as well so you can try new products.
The people there are very knowledgeable and helpful as well I have gotten great recommendations on different beers and whiskeys and you can’t beat their prices!

Good selection. Prices slightly higher than Costco (in the same parking lot, you do not need to be a Costco member to shop there). Rude, rude manager. We asked for empty cardboard boxes (moving) with our purchase and were told that they are for evening customers???

So today I decided to stop in to the discount liquor store known as Liquor Boy. After reading many reviews and newspaper reports I thought I should give it a try. Now mind you I like my alcohol and buy about $ 100 per week of bottles. Way more then the average person. I am not an alcoholic but an enthusiast. I shop between 3 stores to get what I want at a low cost. Average bottle cost $ 25-​$ 60. All 3 of these stores are within 7 miles of each other. With hopes of saving enough to add a bottle of basic vodka every month I figured why not.
I walked in and right away was welcomed by cheap beer and wine. I quickly looked at the Australian wines and checked out the «The Boxer» $ 23.99 the same price I pay at the liquor store by my office. Walking through the store I made my way to the spirits area. I have 7 or 8 regulars. From gin to vodka 7 of the eight we’re higher priced then I pay now. I checked out the Bloody Mary department and the prices were the same as the France 44 wine and liquor store (which by the was offers tastings of many of there spirits for free).
I understand a business is created to make money but saying you have super low prices and don’t is not right. Liquor Boy is just another liquor store. Making people think by having pallet racking and keeping the place simple you think your getting a deal when your really not.
My recommendation is that if your looking for the standard run of the mill booze at a ok price this place is for you. If you are looking for a deal there are much better places. If you are looking for general selection of the basics they got it. If your looking for a local distillery they don’t have it most likely.

The biggest selling point here is price… appreciably a couple of bucks cheaper than most smaller metro area liquor stores. The wine selection is pretty good for a warehouse on the «big box» model, but you will not find a huge amount of niche or specialty wines here. A lot of what you will find here is a selection of all of the offerings from the biggest-​market-​share producers or distributors. France 44 has a much better and deeper selection if you’re looking for something truly off-​the-​beaten path, but if you’re looking for the best price on a case of your favorite mass-​market wine, this place is hard to beat.

Great selection of beer from all over the country, and especially from MN companies. I was able to pick up some Surly while I was here from MI. Give it a shot if you like craft beer.

Here’s another testament to how extensive the selection of wine, beer, and liquor is at Liquor Boy. Not to mention the competitive pricing. There’s always some sort of deal/​promo going on. I was in the area for work and I stopped by afterwards. Now if only there was one closer to home. Definitely a great place to buy wine & spirits.

This liquor store has a huge selection! I can go in there looking for one item and come out with several. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable about their merchandise and can always offer great suggestions. Occasionally, they have wine tastings which is nice. What I like most about the wine tastings are that they often choose affordable wines so that the average customer can actual buy what they are showing.
The prices are also great– lower than I’ve seen at many liquor stores. The only downside I’ve noticed at this store is that they don’t carry smaller bottles.

HELLO WINE? Liquor Boy’s wine selection rocks! The prices are awesome and they stay that way… It’s not a sale price it’s always that price.
I love they have a rebate station! I received a $ 9 rebate for a case of wine! I mean easy peasy!
The beer selection and liquor selection is large, I don’t think the prices are quite as good as the wine, but if I run out of liquor or beer and zip down the road to MGM… I would pay a hell of a lot more!
I do my stock up shopping here forsure!

Bourbon fans, put on your big boy pants and get ready for a journey like no other. Liquor Boy is the place for any bourbon fan, not to mention the beer deal they have that rotates often. The wine selection is solid, the staff are friendly, the atmosphere is clean (and bright) and did I mention the bourbon selection; phenomenal! Not to mention the prices, pretty good. Not many prices can be beaten by other places without a sale.

Massive selection, cold beer, great variety of wine, and very reasonable prices. It all adds up to a good, solid liquor store. The space is quite large, but is very organized and the staff is extremely helpful.

I somehow found myself in this store because I heard it was supposed to be amazing. I was curious to see what all the hype was about. I ended up walking out empty handed.
Yes, there is a ton of alcohol. Lots of wine. Nice staff. The booze is nicely organized. I just wasn’t blown away, especially by the prices. I also wasn’t very impressed with the beer selection. I think this is a decent choice if you live in the area and there aren’t any other liquor store options. I live in the city where the prices are better and selection is just as good, so I won’t be back.

A huge warehouse full of your imbibing needs. Prices pretty good, nice selection. The staff is actually really nice and helpful. I was asked by a couple folks what I was looking for and if I needed any assistance. A bit out of the way for a city gal but worth the trip if you need to stock up. PLUS they had a really nice deal on Bell’s Two Hearted 6-​packs (so delicious). Look out for the deals they are definitely worth it.
