7333 University Pkwy, Lakewood Ranch“The Publix Supermarket at University Parkway & Lorraine Rd in Sarasota hands down is the best place to shop in Lakewood Ranch. The staff here are professional, kind hearted, and talented. The bakery made my son a truly unique birthday cake this year; he loved it! You see he loves coca-cola, specifically diet cola from the self serve by the deli. Your bakery, from the department manager to the brilliant bakery chef minds that make dreams come true have made us Customers for life!”

4333 S Tamiami Trail Unit F, Sarasota“Seagrape Wine Company is a pleasure to visit and where I plan to shop next time. Thomas, the owner, is friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. My previous go-to wine now has a competitor that Thomas recommended in a similar price point and that is more interesting.”
“Hello! I love y'all's products and everything. HOWEVER, I was wondering as I was leaving the parking lot the other day, can I pick the fruit that is around the building? Let me know in your response. :) Thanks!”
“3 visits in 3 weeks & all were off the charts! Thank you to James & Cole, 2 fantastic bartenders with not only superb guest service skills but beyond incredible craft mixologist skills! The food, just amazing! Taco Tuesday with a Pinot Noir tasting was my first experience, with a mole burrito & queso that I’m Still thinking about; Ramen Monday brought me a pork belly ramen that blew me away & the triple cooked fries are…YUMMILICIOUS; tonight I snagged my first Smashburger—where has this been my whole life?!!! I’m a foodie who digs vibes, serious cocktails, and atmosphere…this place has everything. Thank you so much! And yes, I’m telling everyone even though I wish I could keep it a secret.”
“This was my first time at Normans Liquor, and they have a huge selection of spirits to chose from. I went in looking for tequila and they had a whole section just of tequila. They had prices from that’s fair to damn they make tequila that expensive. I went for that’s fair priced tequila. Will I go back? Yes, Normans has a great selection and good prices.”
“Attended a wine tasting here; nice crowd and selection. We started with champagne and sampled 3 whites and three reds. Two small platters were served to eat with each color wine. Michael's has an extensive wine cellar and passes the savings on to his customers. I just wish the tapas were a bit more substantial. Overall, a nice experience that we will indulge in again. One wine I ordered they were out of so I'll have to return to retrieve it. Overall, worth the money and we met some nice people as well.”
“The staff is professional, kind and knowledgeable. I've never seen a time when parking wasn't plentiful. The store is impressively stocked, clean and organized.”
“First visit to this store as Publix Liquors did not carry what I was looking for and not only did they have the specialty liqueur but they were so helpful with helping me find what I was looking for. Also, I did notice that their prices were cheaper than Publix. I will definitely return!”
“Great selection of alcohol, they even have a few yummy funny names cocktail ball mixes found them one day I was doing a pickup order. I had a birthday party with them no problems just a bad hangover ?”
“One reviewer wrote that (I am paraphrasing here) that Manhattan Liquors is well stocked and competing with ABC and Total Wine, so their prices are a higher and that he never goes to the afore mentioned stores. Although I do not see the competition of which he speaks with the big guys having a national presence, he is correct about Manhattan Liquor being well stocked - This place has everything one could want to purchase and partake. But just for fun, after pulling a cold 6er from the fridge, I approached the counter and opened with "I would just like to say that there a few items that I purchase regularly that I do not see here" to which the owner grabbed a pen without looking up and was ready to write my request. I then stated that I was only making funny, a poor attempt at humor because that have so much of everything and it is all very well displayed. I am on a beer swing because strong alcohol just hits me kinda hard and although wine is me favorite of alcoholic beverages - its 89* here still and that's to hot for a big and bold Tuscan or a Maragaux - I probably could do a white or a rose (Squiggly line ~ atop the 'e') but I'm mentally just not ready for that level of commitment. I hadn't seen the Micky's Beer ($7.99) in a very long time, so along with two shooters of Chambord, I was on my way. I am going to write a post on my blog about twist tops on beer cans and bottles. I say this as I am avoiding using my right pointing finger from a laceration I took opening my first Coors Light 16oz aluminum can last weekend. This particular finger is a very useable finger at a very industrious juncture of the finger itself, top center of the pad. And it was no simple twist the cracked the seal, it was an iron grip and a strained twist with a mild gnashing of exposed teeth. Not the Mickys tho - the harmonious easy twist to crack transition induced b the simplest pressure applied was a ease that caused me no trauma that I now carry thanks ot the razor blade neck of those darn Coors Light cans - and I dont even like that beer at all - the can turns blue when its cold. Duh - how dumb must a person be to not be able to teall if a can if cold?”

2230 Manatee Ave E, Bradenton“Nice place . Well stocked . Friendly staff. I had lunch at the two stand it was very good . Then went inside to buy a 12 pack of the soda I like. Great selection of meat at the market.”
“Absolutely the BEST discount beverage and convenience store. Prices are excellent and the customer service is amazing. Staff are welcoming and always friendly. I love this place! They also sell winning lottery tickets!”
“I love Winn-Dixie I love the deals that I find out Winn-Dixie The prices are awesome I love the workers at Winn-Dixie if you look for something they go out of the way to help you find what's on the shelf if it's not on the shelf they will go get it from the back if they have it I have been shopping at Winn-Dixie for years ever since it was quick check oops that's telling my age”

11205 State Road 70 E, Bradenton“This is our home base, Publix. The employees are friendly, helpful, and always ready to help you find things. They have a habit of taking you directly to what you need, not just pointing to an aisle. I have lived all over America, and Publix is the best chain grocery store of them all.”
“I was looking for a particular Chardonnay wine and one of the guys who handles that category was a little bit of a wise guy. I mentioned the brand of the wine and he said if that wine is in Publix it will not be here! However there are several wines that are there that are in Publix”

1303 N Washington Blvd, Sarasota“They have all the liquor that you can imagine at the most perfect price!!! I've literally been to three different states looking for the huge bottle of blackberry Ciroc and this was the ONLY place that had it!! I was pleasantly surprised!! I'd definitely stop here for all of your alcohol needs without having to break the bank! These guys are awesome!”

11720 FL-64, Bradenton“Great deals on wine. Don't overlook the cheese and meat fridges on your way to paying - great deals on items that expire in several days (like 25 cents for cheese that normally costs $9!!!) We will eat it today and tomorrow and so totally worth it”
“Although I've put myself on Double Secret Drinking Probation I had what one might call "a moment of weakness" so I pulled on over and walked on it, throwing the double doors open wide like a gunslinger on a dusty street in the wild west. Like a moth to light i always go to French wine then remember I'm not wealthy anymore, so I go to tequila and realize I can't drink strong stuff but I love the bottles then to craft beer, oh wait, I can't afford that either and now I'm looking at a twenty four of Steel Reserve. Ok, it's not that bad but I'll seek out a deal like an Indian scout looking for bear tracks Allow me to quickly add that this is quite a strange area, specifically within this series of stores that are strung together all hodgepodged some that are outta central casting of an end of civilization documentary. Old delapitated sun beaten signs hanging to the side, the people are odd here too. And I think that's why 6"5 280 pounds of muscled Big Al works here however he's as soft-spoken as a church mouse and lead me to my discounted beers so for that I'm eternally greatful. However I now must return to my Double Secret Drinking Probation Wagon and go buy a cup of tea.”
“GREAT cust.service, very helpful about the dif. types of liquor, their specials, I go there almost every day :) hehehe ?, and same employees have been there for years, ( A rare thing these days!) I don't feel like I'm going to a store , I feel like I'm going to see my friends! Highly recommend this liquor store! ?My ONLY complaint is that they close at 9 o'clock pm!”

1058 N Tamiami Trl UNIT 113, Sarasota“They have amazing prices on beer, wine, and liquor. The selection isn't as large as other places but you can't beat the prices. The store is clean and the service is friendly.”
“A big thank you to the gentleman overseeing the self checkout around 9am on 2-6-23. You noticed the BOGO on the item that I was purchasing and took the time to show me the coupon. I wouldn't have known otherwise. That level of service is why I shop here instead of other grocery stores.”
“Had my order personally delivered by the owner because of an issue on the Door Dash drivers part. This is my first experience with this liquor store and I have to say the commitment and understanding from them has me definitely going back and making this my go-to spot!”
“Joe and Ian rule! We stopped in for a quick purchase and ended up having a great time chatting! Joe and Ian told us about some cool local bars and Joe’s tequila knowledge was so rad!!”

2175 60th Ave E, Ellenton“This is the best place to buy liquor in Olive Bradenton Manatee county palmetto anywhere. If you think I'm joking just go in there and price check.
You won't leave empty-handed.”
“I love going to Lee's everytime I went to school back in the day me and my mom would go there and get this sandwich ? all I know is it has chicken in it and it was so good I would have my mom get me 2 of them but now I live in TN and I wish they would ship some of there sandwich to me lol”
“To put it simply, this is the perfect place to sit, sip, and chat! There are plenty of seats and good lighting. They have a menu to choose from, which even includes nonalcoholic beverages for if you're sober, done tasting and still thirsty or the designated driver, and the best part (in my foodie opinion)....charcuterie! I would absolutely go back again.”
