This place is small but has everything you need. Just not the closing time is 6 pm.. so plan ahead.. perfect for a nice wine to take back to your Edgewater stay..
Located on the east side of town, Lake Aire Bottle Shoppe is a bit out of the way of my central hillside residence, but still conveniently located right on the main road, and offers one of the widest selections of local craft beers Ive seen in any Duluth liquor store. The prices are extremely fair on any alcohol I checked and actually the best price Ive found on my craft beer of choice. They also have a wonderful selection of wines and select liquors, with nice varieties of whiskeys, vodkas, and scotches, but as every type of liquor outside of the wine/beer are competing for space along one wall, you might still find them somewhat limiting. Regardless, being the best option for finding that liquor you want near the downtown area and if going one extra mile is saving me $2 on every six pack I buy, its well worth the visit!
Great prices, good selection and very friendly staff. Will be back!
Always has what I need in stock and reasonably priced
Like making this my stop in duluth. Great store, good variety, and ever so convenient before you head north.
They have a good variety. If you want to try something new, this is a good place to shop
Nice place! Great people !
So-So selection. Out of most of the popular selections we were looking for
Phenomenal service and selection. Great if youre into craft beer, well curated wines and excellent liquor. Always a deal to be had in the deal bin and keep an eye out for their ads. Highly recommend.
Little pricey but good variety and prime location
Conveniently located right on the freeway whether in Duluth or traveling up the beautiful north shores of Lake Superior. Friendly and helpful employees and a huge variety of beverages.
Best natural wine selection in town, hoping it continues to grow.
Best liquor store in Duluth! Best selections and best staff.
Good prices, one of the largest selections of beer, wines, and liquors in Duluth
Friendly staff and a great selection.
The Tequila was wonderful. Lol Great customer service
Best local booze selection in town! Smaller cold beer section but quality stuff! Lots to look at on the back wall!!
What a wonderful local business that is always willing to help! Stopped by recently and a passenger that was parked outside needed a jump and one of the team members at Lake Aire took the time to go out and jump this persons car! Over and above and tells me that they are there to help and their staff is willing to go the extra mile! Thanks Lake Aire! Great selection of choices and great location!
Lake Aire bottle shoppe is NOT ADA compliant.On Tuesday, October 13 at 4:40 PM I was denied service because I wasn’t wearing a mask. I showed them the Minnesota DOH mandate, which is not a law, states that “A person who has difficulty breathing” is exempt from the mandate. A Mandate which also states “do not approach people not wearing a mask, instead maintain social distancing”.Clerk went on the offensive and I couldn’t put 2 feet in that building without him attacking me, he wouldn’t listen to me, in fact he run roughshod over me. He did not let me speak, he kept saying “I’m sorry, policy”“I’m sorry, policy”“It’s our store policy”I asked for the manager and “he just left”.So the clerk decided to play judge jury and executioner and refuse service.They would rather deny service and be ADA non-compliant and enforce their policy.I wonder, in a lawsuit, which holds up in court? A law? Or a mandate?
Visited 10/13 7pmStaff member was incredibly friendly & helpful! Great wine selection!
Good selection, you can get the Lutsen winery goods here.
Nice selection. Clean. Efficient staff. Easy to get to. Good parking
Now this is the place with the best selection of wine and spirits. I was impressed.
Jam packed with LOTS of booze, period.which... is why we came. Great craft beer selections as well as a wide variety of wines. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Always been a go to!
I wanted to send my Brother a little Christmas Spirit but Minnesota does not allow mailing of alcohol and since I live in California I was stymied. Then I found Lake Aire Liquor on line. Taking a chance I emailed the store and asked if there was a way for them to have the Christmas Spirit delivered, Mark quickly replied that he would ensure that the spirit would be delivered. A couple exchanges of emails and my Brother is getting his Christmas Spirit delivered. Marks assistances renews my belief that there are still people out there that care about the public and will go the extra mile. I will be definitely stopping by Lake Aire Liquor and personally thanking Mark on my next trip to Duluth
There was a lake nearby, air but not with that fancy E, and bottles as well. So that was very nice!
Were in from Omaha, Nebraska, here for the Boundary Waters and Lake Aire Bottle Shoppe made sure to take care of our order without any complications - thank you!
One of the best wine selections in town and an excellent whisky selection. They have excellent options in all of the major categories of whisky and they are fairly priced. Also, all of the beer you could need. Local, craft, and the big domestic beer. They keep some of the more scarce bottles behind the register.
Helpful friendly staff.
We love going there, friendly service, the workers are always cheerful, and helpful
Best bottle shoppe in the Twin Ports!!
I was surprised when I saw the amazing selection of beers rotting on the warm shelves instead of in a cooler. The selection was amazing and there were beers that I have not seen at other venues, but there is no way that I am buying an unpasteurized live beer that is out on the shelf. Beers that say kindly Please Refrigerate on the side, as less of a suggestion and more of a hint.
Very nice selection and helpful staff. Give you boxes to carry stuff if needed which is really nice as well!!!
Brimming with so many options/overflow!! And the cashier was so friendly. I found a cheap six pack compared to the nearest liquor shop which charges much more for less options!
Amazing service!
Great service
Good selection of wine for up north. Our favorite convenient spot before hitting the north shore.
Good prices, nice selection, friendly staff
Best Pieces in town great services
Great selection, great prices on my favorite spirits. Very fast checkout, nice people!
Small store thats crammed full of everything youll ever need. Great liquor selection (including some great scotches) and a great craft beer selection. Theres often samplings on the weekends, too. Good staff...very helpful.
Awesomely friendly staff and good selection of beer and liquor. If you are looking for Surly Darkness, this is the place to go.
Good serviceHad what I wanted
Decent place.. Prices a little steep
Friendly service and good selection
Always stop here on my way to the Northwoods. Great service. Great selection.
Ive never been, but it keeps popping up on my google reviews so it must be great!
Always gotta stop at the Lake Aire... not bad prices. Some interesting selections......and of course, the Managers Special (the packs of the Mud Slide, Hot Sex, etc.. bottles). 3 for $8!
An alright selection at an alright price.
Large variety of alcoholic beverages at competitive prices. Located on London Road, it is easily accessible from either part of town. Staff is helpful and friendly.
Good selection & low prices !
Good prices and good selection.
Nice selection of different spirits, beers, and wines. Staff is nice and knowledgeable. But its very cramped due to the large selection, its easy to bump into things
Decent. 🤷♂️
Very disappointing service. I called the store a head of time asked them to keep two bottles of rather rare whiskey on reserve for me. They took my name down assured me that they will hold it for me. When I called in to let them know that I am on my way, miraculously the bottles are no longer there. Thank god I didnt make the drive all the way to Duluth. The staff sounded confused and high. I know for a fact that there is no room for confusion becuase the person who took tmy name down sounded very clear. Only thing I can think of is their lack of integrity.
The small store belies its impressive selection. definitely worth checking out if youre looking for something particular that you cant always find elsewhere
Every time we come to Duluth, we have to hit Lake Aire before we go home. Great selection of beer and wine (much better than we can get where Im from). Our last trip, thought, we had something funny happen: The store closed at either 9 or 10p, and we got there 10 till. The lights were shutting off, and we walked up. The gentleman locking up said Were closing early. Sorry man. Try Wisconsin. Amazing. Try Wisconsin. haha
Really nice selection of craft brews, ample selection of liquor and generally reasonable prices. Give yourself ample time to peruse the selection; it is kind of haphazardly placed about!
Close to home . Lots of parking
Perfect spot to purchase libations before heading up the North Shore - at the very end of Interstate 35. Good selection, particularly for wine.
Great source of tobacco products and glass pipes. Vape selection not so big but still nice 👍
They were out of all the beers I go to that store for and when I asked if they had more the pot head employee looked in the back of his head and was like nope. Then he asked the other employee if he wanted to do illegal stuff after work.
As a disabled person, I appreciate that theyre always willing to help get my stuff to my car.
Every thing you need at a convenient location and good hours. Great staff who are friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to help.
Stopped in for quick refills. Owners were super helpful and the selection was awesome.

Decent prices and very easy to stop in.
Great selection. Friendly staff
