1st Grand Ave Liquor Store

Free parking across the street on Milton Ave. This store has the most amazing selection in town. Huge wine, liquor & beer selection and a very helpfully staff makes this a must see store.

Very impressed by this place. They have a walk in beer cooler. The wine selection was great! I found everything from high end Napa stuff to $ 10 cheap stuff. The service was friendly and the store felt welcoming and organized. I will definitely frequent this establishment. Just a note: There is a parking lot across the street since parking on the street can be iffy at best.

Currently, they’ve got one of their 6 for $ 36 wine sales going on. What really caught our attention once inside the store though was the fact that they had 2 different Duxoup wines for sale (not in the 6 for $ 36 sale, though).
Last night, one of their staff, Alexis, helped us. She was very informative and helpful. Today, when we returned to take advantage of their «deal», we were assisted by yet another female staff member, and she, too was very helpful, informative and friendly.
The store seems to have a great selection of wines and their regular prices seem fair as compared to other stores.

Great store. Friendly staff. Great prices. Amazing selection.

i love this liquor store. It is just the right size — and the staff is always helpful if asked but they let you browse with out being overbearing like some of the other liquor stores i have been to. they will help you to your car and that best thing is a couple times a year they have a wine sale and you can get 6 bottles for 35.00 – they have a huge selection when they do this and some are typically 20.00 bottles —

This is an outstanding liquor store, with friendly staff and a great beer selection in a WALK IN cooler. The beer selection rivals the more often mentioned places like Ale Jail and it certainly offers more cold beers than most places you’ll find. Its a gem.

I was very pleasantly surprised by this neighborhood corner liquor store. It is much bigger than it looks from the outside. It does not give the clinical kind of feel that a lot of large liquor stores do. Nor is it dirty like a lot of liquor stores. It is clean and warm, welcoming and well-​stocked.
There is a large wine selection housed in wooden shelving. And while wine is OK, those who read my reviews know I love beer. First, HUGE walk-​in cooler. Like room size walk-​in! This is so important because unlike most liquor stores in the area, it means that you can buy more than 2 or 3 sixes of your favorite brew and have them all actually be cold! All at once! The magic of storage space that is temperature controlled. Second, well organized with everything well-​labeled. Excellent variety and well-​stocked to boot.
Employees were courteous and helpful.
Bonus star for private parking, it across the side street from the store.

I love this store. Good selections, especially for wine, and staff are knowledgable and willing to help. Only had one sourpuss wait on me once, but I’ve been in there so many other times with good takeaways that I can’t dock any stars.
There is one gal in particular who I love to see working. She recognizes me, remembers what she’s recommended to me before, and makes new recommendations based on my feedback. Now that’s service!

Best liquor store in the area. These guys are great. Several are quite knowledgeable about beer. They will bend over backwards to find what you are interested in. This is an excellent neighborhood business that treats its customers well.

I reaaalllly like this place. The walk in cooler is stocked with enough special releases and microbrews to satisfy most any beer snob, and they also have a wide selection of standard «cooler fill beer» for the boat. Their wine and liquor selection is equally varied, and the staff is friendly, helpful, and polite. It’s not dirt cheap, but the prices are definitely fair.

I lived in this neighborhood for years and have not found a better local option. The selection in this store is second to none considering the small city space they have to deal with. They have jammed as much wine, beer and liquor in as anyone could ask for. The staff is incredibly kind and helpful. The walk-​in beer cooler is a plus too. The prices have never been crazy «door-​buster» deals, but also have always been reasonable and fair. They have a private lot across the street, that is a very nice perk in the city.

I love this place for wine-​they are always friendly, knowlegeable, they have tastings, and the price is always right.

This store is awesome. The beer variety varies from brands best suited for a beer bong to fine craft Belgian brews. High and low end wines. Top shelf hard stuff to plastic bottle vodka. Get your fine /​cheap drink on here.

My kind of liquor store. Great selections of everything (wine. beer. liquor) with good prices. They even carry my St. Germain, praise be.
Helpful and sassy staff. Organized, clean. Free parking! (Across the street but still) God I wish I lived in the neighborhood :(

This is my favorite liquor store in St. Paul. I love the walk-​in cooler, the huge selection, the décor (hooray…no super bright lights!), the service and the monthly email specials they send me. Shopping for liquor here makes a ho-​hum errand seem so much more exciting!

This small neighborhood gem of a liquor store is in walking distance of my uncle’s. They have everything that you could possibly want and this was my first time picking out beer in a walk-​in freezer; cool to escape a sweltering Minnesota summer. They They carry practically everything from every part of the world. I stocked up on Paroni and some cheep, but good wine for $ 15.00. I must add that the clerk working last week was hot with slender figure and long, straight dark hair. She was as bubbly as could be, definitely adding to the experience hahahahahaha. So, for beer, wine, and spirits from all over the world in a clean, well maintained store at reasonable prices with a hot clerk, First Grand Liquor Store cannot be beat. Keep up the good work guys.
