64 /100 Cardinal Wine and Spirits (Beer Store) 1135 W. JEFFERSON ST. Pretty much the same as the one in Joliet, technically on the same street. Almost identical selection of bottles, bombers, and sixers/four-packs. Decent for the area, but nothing amazing. |
62 /100 Cardinal Wine and Spirits (Beer Store) 1135 W. JEFFERSON ST. Nice convienent location for me. Nothing real exciting about the place. It’s a liquor store with a big beer selection. There’s one cooler of singles from which to make 6-packs. The price for a 6-pack is $9.99 no matter what beers you select, so the value is actually pretty good compared to other bottle shops. Otherwise, they have a nice selection of 6-packs and 4-packs in coolers. Across from the coolers is a more expansive collection of 6-packs, 4-packs, and large bottles. Service is adequate, but no one seems to really know beer. Overall, an easy place to shop with a decent beer selection. |
30 /100 Dominick’s (Beer Store) 950 BROOKFOREST AVE. I suppose I’m being disingenious by listing this as a beer store, as it is a supermarket. However, I list it because I am able to get some beers here, and there’s no better place to get the macros. Other than that, it’s a supermarket, with the usual lighting, lack of knowledgeable help, etc. The do have a mix and match selection, though it is limited to twelve brands of beer, all common. You can get beer here though, and that’s a good thing. |
46 /100 Cardinal Wine and Spirits (Beer Store) 1135 W. JEFFERSON ST. New liquor store in the area next to a CVS pharmacy. Ambiance is what you would expect from a strip mall store: brightly lit with florescent lights, linoleum flooring, etc. As far as selection goes, don’t expect much. While they may have a number of micros, this is a store that focuses on macros, moderate-priced wine, and liquor sales. They have two coolers devoted to individual bottle sales, though the overall selection is lacking and a six pack of mix and match rang in at $10. On one visit, I did have the person ringing my sale ask for my preferences, other visits have been matter-of-fact and perfunctory. On my last visit, the cashier did provide me with his opinions of the beers I picked, which was nice. However, it does get the job done and it does carry some beer that I really like, so that will keep me coming in. I wouldn’t go out of my way though to find it, though... |
