Dino’s Cardinal Liquors

January 9, 2008
Really just a strip mall liquor store with a few above average beers. Workers are very friendly, unfortunately the selection is not anything a beer geek would want.

I am 21 years old and my license proves it but I was turned away because I have a different hairstyle than my license picture. I was then accused of having minors in my car without them even looking outside. I am convinced the 45+ year old men working here are a bunch of sexist pigs who haven’t been laid in a few years. I’m still fuming. Don’t go here if you want to be treated like dirt.

The Armanetti’s and Cardinal stores in IL offer a wide variety of selection, depending on the store you go too. This one likes to get some of their unusual stuff at the reject warehouse. Will see a changing stock depending on what the owner buys at the warehouse. Prices are usually below cost as well. It is a hit-or-miss type store but the stock rotates pretty quick compared to others. Plus the owner is actually shopping for deals much like we do.
