Tlc Wine & Liquor

For a pretty small space, they have a fair selection of any basics you might need. The huge benefit for me is that they're a 5-minute walk from my apartment, so when I need some alcohol in a pinch, they're my go-to place.You're not likely to find any specialty items here. On my quest for Woodchuck Pumpkin and Woodchuck Fall, they turned up empty. In fact, the only Woodchuck they do carry is Amber and Raspberry (side note: why is it impossible to fund Woodchuck Pear around here?!). I can get my go-ton wine (Sutter Home Moscato) for $5, so I really can't complain. Their beer selection definitely focuses on big-scale domestics, but they have a fair smattering of smaller breweries represented. I've never purchased liquor here, but the selection seems to cover all of the bases.One thing I do like about this place is the staff. They're always very friendly and helpful. On my quest for Woodchuck Fall, one of the workers said he'd make a special order for me and call when it arrives. I'll be sure to let you know if that actually happens. I'm hopeful.(EDIT: I never received a call, and when I stopped in, they told me that their distributor is completely out of the Fall variety. However, they were nice enough to open their Woodchuck variety packs to see if any contained the Fall cider and they did! YAY!)If you find yourself on this side of Kent, it's not a bad choice, but you'll find a much better selection at 101 Bottles down the street.

TLC has a good selection, decent prices and a helpful staff. My only complaint is their acceptable methods of payment are limited, and it's bet to go with cash only. Otherwise, I've never had a problem finding whatever I need (I typically only go here for liquor purchases).
