540 E Terra Cotta Ave Suit-E, Crystal Lake““I had an incredible experience at the food and liquor store in Crystal Lake! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by friendly staff who were ready to assist. The store’s impressive selection of both food and beverages caught my eye immediately. Whether I was searching for a rare wine or a specific ingredient for a recipe, they had it all. The aisles were neatly organized, making it easy to navigate and find what I needed.”
“It's a regular liquor store kinda... Except it has more than just alcohol it's your one stop shop for a good night. I get my pipes and water pipes from there large selection of papers grinders and accessories not to mention they have there own brand of smokables in different strains. Btw have u tried a monster with alcohol in it? I highly recommend it, tastes great and gives u a pick me up to keep u going when playing the slots. Okay selection of snacks surprising how much stuff they can fit in that store.”
“I came in today, looking for advice on whiskey for a tasting. In almost all liquor stores workers don't give you the time of day. Here not only was treated very kindly, but I was given recommendations that fit my budget, and made me very enthused about the hobby! It's not often you get kindness like this from a stranger on such a heavy hobby and so it was greatly appreciated.”
“Best liquor store in elgin, prices are very convenient and collection is huge ?

651 S 8th St, West Dundee“Huge selection of local Craft brewery's... Reasonably priced compared to other big box stores. The store itself is very clean and tidy, and very well organized. Extremely friendly customer service as well. It's a little off the beaten path but, definitely worth a stop in if you're looking for something specific. The owner is willing to order specific items... And if he doesn't have it in stock, he will direct you to another local store that will help. From the customer service, to the business itself. 5 stars. A++”
“I love this store, they have such a large selection I can always find what I am looking for. The process are much cheaper than any of the other stores around. On my last visit it was around 3:30 pm and they only had 3 lines open for check out there were at least 5 or 6 people in each line. You could see the employees walking around and doing busy work. All of the people in the lines were looking at each other like why don't they open another line or two. Then a lot of us started talking about it. After waiting in the line for over 15 minutes right as I was putting my stuff on the belt they finally opened another line. When I looked up there was now around 7 or 8 in each line and they kept having to move so other people could get through the main isle. I can understand if they were under staffed but there were a bunch of employees. They just were not running a check out lane. Two of the employees that we could all see doing busy work were the same ones that opened another lane. This is the first time I have ever experienced this here. I have shopped here for years. If it was my first time I would not be going back. This visit was great. 8/25/2022. No lines quick check out and great prices. Went again on Friday Nov 4. No issues the lines were short and fast. 3/27/23. Fast and easy. A quick visit just to grab a few things. Update 6/25/2023, it was a quick smooth visit. I wish they would add a store in Woodstock. 9/20/23 It was all good this visit. All good again”
“I love this store they have everything. As soon you walk into the store you’re greeted with friendly faces.

“This is my go to place for kegs and for really great whiskey. I just got a call that my keg of Heineken that I ordered six days ago is ready for pick up. Their choice of really great whiskey is amazing. They introduced me to whiskies I've never heard of. They really know their stuff and take fantastic care of their customers”
“Jay is absolutely incredible! He always has his customers in mind while running the place. I've been going here since they opened and he always takes care of me in all my liquor store needs, even when my tastes fluctuate.”
“Great place to buy vapes and fun stuff.... Selection and price, 2 thumbs up. They have everything from funky lighters, Incense, candles, to funky watches.... Plenty of interesting items you just don't find anywhere else. The one I get is 16.99. In the city, the same vape is 22$-27$. I appreciate the staff here, they always treat me like they've known me forever.”

Also large selection of craft beers and alcohol. During Covid, he got more careful and only allows one per customer inside to browse but he grabs whatever you need for you. They sanitize your card before and after your purchase too. I liked that a lot. Anyways good spot. Don't let the area scare you away from stopping in here.”
“Great guys, always willing to help and chat, they remember you and your name and greet you with such smiles! They always ask about my husband, and my girls, and how things are going.
