Great selection, really friendly and informative staff. Theyre diligent about covid safety best practices, carry copies of the Reader, and have a good selection of cold mixers and checkout lane snacks. Youll find great specials on seasonal bottles, too.

Excellent customer service!! We ordered from the Uptown location through Uber and received the wrong merchandise. We called the store and spoke with Ryan. He was extremely courteous and went above and beyond to make the situation correct. Extremely pleased with them and will continue to get them my business.

Im not sure how their prices compare to other locations, but I have been using this place on the Northside for about a decade, on and off. Essentially when Im in the neighborhood eating. Great selection of beer. The people that run this have always treated me well. Certainly a knowledgeable staff.

I love this store!! I especially love Jim - owner/manager. Hes so kind and knows everything about everything in that store and is always willing to take his time to help you make good choices. I also really appreciate that they carry a lot of things that most wine and spirit stores dont, like a Variety of non-alcoholic wine/beer. Most stores in the city do not. They do not price gouge like a lot of other stores in the city. And the staff is always friendly and helpful as well.

The people at Foremost are friendly and the prices are reasonable, meaning they usually match other places. Great selection of beer, wine, and liquor. Being a local retailer, we always recommend them.

We are proud to have Uptown Foremost down the street from our house. No matter the occasion, they will have just what you need. The prices are fair and reasonable and the selection is amazing!

Foremost had a great selection, with most items priced somewhat competitively, and theres always a number of items on sale to choose from. My only criticism (and what precluded my making this a 5-star review), is the less-than-courteous disposition, common to one employee in particular. Other than that lone factor; Foremost Liquors may be your best option in the immediate area.

I moved into the neighborhood a few years ago. I stop by once every other week or so on my way home from work. The staff is extremely nice, and they have a huge selection. Prices are cheaper than Marianos (a few blocks away) for most things.

I love this place!Ive been stopping here on the way home for years and recently had the pleasure of moving within walking distance. This Foremost has prices at or below what Binnys and Jewel charge for the most part and the staff are super nice. They go above and beyond and remember what you like, what sort of things youve tried, etc. I would recommend this place highly.Recently, Ive noticed theyre putting more things on sale, so the prices are getting even better.

Although a small store, this place has a great variety of beers, ales, ciders, etc! Things that definitely wouldnt be found in the nearby Whole Foods or Jewel Oscos.

Always used to come here when i lived in the neighborhood years ago, i liked it then, but i love it now. wow have things changed around here since. The street looks completely different for the better. the store made some great changes too. The staff has always n i mean always been THE BEST, prices are great, n the selection is very plentiful, they even have my favorite stuff in stock every time i visit, my trusty RedBreast 15yr Irish whiskey plus all the other age statements. Love this place!

Ok 1st the Blonde that is normally cashiering is point blank Nasty & has no buisness in Customer service what so ever, shes rude from the time you walk-in until the time that you walk out. Im pretty sure that the business is family owned and shes the daughter of the old guy that looks like he owns the place so more than likely shes Daddys Little princess and shes not going anywhere but she has to understand that not everybody that walks into her establishment is a junkie or a crackhead or however she stereotypes them because she definitely does, also Ive been in the area for a couple of months I go into the liquor store often to purchase 99 cent RC theres been several occasions probably close to a dozen where theres been 5 or 10 or 11 cents left over and I tell them to keep the change today I was $0.02 short if the total was a dollar $1.12 & I was $0.02 short and this ugly person of a human being speaking of the blonde wouldn let me go with dollar 10 I had to walk home and get the $0.02 and come back and then when I came back I made the statement about how many times Ive done that and Im sure countless others Have done that I was speaking to the older gentleman but she was behind me up in I guess their office or whatever it is so she spoke up and she tells me that sir all the extra change that is left over goes towards leukemia patients the funny part is why isnt there a jar at the register saying leukemia patients where is this jar at I never seen one and Ive been in and out of there at least 20 times yeah so if they care anything about what their customers think this situation should be rectified if shes going to continue to be a cashier there she should have to go and take classes on how to deal with people hospitality classes how to deal with customers because she has no training when it comes to that just by her mouth shes proven that so yeah if youre reading this I would pass up on that liquor store because from now on thats what Ill be doing theres plenty enough stores in this area that you can go and get soda probably cheaper well no cheaper than what most of their stuff is in there and that particular liquor store so and if you dont want to be treated like a crackhead or a junkie because youre not yeah I advise you to go elsewhere.& They most definitely Fuel the crime on Argyle St.,they know it & dont give AF.

Visit at your own risk!! This is the second, and final, time one of the impatient, bordering on rude female staff has treated me poorly...due to the incompetent new cashier. I will personally no longer be visiting this establishment if this is the way they treat their customers.
