When i lived at Pineridge apartments and later a house in Wickliffe, this was my usual Friday night stop for beer. Maybe because it was close to my work and my mom's house. There were plenty of other stores in a two mile radius. Maybe because i had passed it all those years going to the comic book store as a child, it offered some form of nostalgia. Maybe i'm a drunk who can't remember what the hell i did from 2003-2006. Regardless, this store was pretty decent.
They provided the liquor for my first ever attempt at outfitting a full home bar. I had found an old cocktail recipe book and thought i was the Lake County Paulius. I ended up making a bunch of Tequila Sunrises and triple sec Bloody Mary's. Gross, i know. I just stick to beer and rum now. They always had a good selection of British ales and other imports back before Giant Chicken bolstered their variety.
They also, like all good liquor stores, gave us boxes for moving. Now i have Bombay Sapphire, Patron and Bailey's boxes as furniture and storage some five years later. I always loved Xmas at the liquor store. All the holiday packages included free glasses and shit. I think i've broken most of those now in fits of lunacy. Oops.
