Stoney's Liquor

One of the better liquor stores for all things but a toptier selction of craft beer! Living so close I have the advantage of coming by here and trying many of the different things they offer. Always a friendly, kind staff. If you're a fan of beer, check out Stoneys!

I recently stopped in Stoney's Liquor for the first time on a Sunday afternoon/early evening. It's an older relatively small building, but that's what I like. It's not a chain with a brand new building with warehouse-height ceilings. A large selection is a bit crammed into the space, but it's easy to navigate. I immediately found the items I wanted when I veered to the left down a short aisle and went straight to the beer cooler. There was also a small cooler near the register that held tall boys of certain beers/malt liquor and, if memory serves, bottles of water and pop. The shop wasn't crowded and we reached the counter right away. I'm not sure if the man who waited on us was the owner or not, but he was pleasant and answered my questions about their hours, though the hours immediately left my head and I can't remember them at all. The prices are a few bucks higher than what you pay at Kroger and such, but it seems mostly worth the extra cost to be able to quickly run in and out with what you want and avoid large crowds. Nothing fancy, dimly lit, and a comfortable cool temperature. No rough elements hanging about like some of the liquor stores just to the West on 10th Street. A nice little place that is one of the only things I like about the area in it's current state. Plenty of parking in the lot. Conveniently located near 10th and Emerson.

Everything I could ever want in a local liquor store!Disclaimer, I love wine but get it from other sources. They have enough selection to get wine if you're not looking for a large amount of options, as this store uses most of it's limited square footage on beer selection galore! The liquor options aren't too bad either, but I have pretty much been able to find every coveted beer that is feasibly found at a local liquor store... Even if it's slightly uncommon like pseudo Sue, zombie dust, jai alai, etc. A phenomenal wall of bombers that i have not explored much because I was depleting a cellar of meet i had built up. They carry you're normal cases of beer, local selections and more. At the holidays they have some special variety packs that make great gifts!Service has always been friendly and I always remember walking out of the store feeling I had a friendly conversation or got some good recommendations.Don't just speed past this east side gem! It's worth the stop!

I can't wait to move back to the East Side, and Stoneys is one of the reasons why. This is the best liquor store in Indianapolis. It's locally owned, and the selection is wonderful. This place has a great rotating craft beer selection. You never know when you'll walk in and find Zombie Dust or some of my faves from 18th Street. They are a small liquor store, but bring in great product, and even have wine tastings! I feel great about spending my money here.

This place is not fancy. At all. But inside, they have an amazing selection and will go out of their way to help you find anything you need. The staff is awesome and they will treat you like family. If you're buying liquor, they may give you suggestions on cool products, drink concoctions, or even how to bake with it!This is my go to place!

Love this place! Just came here for the firstTime today to pick up some rum for coquito. When I got inside I was pleasantly distracted by their beer selection. They had tons of Indiana beers but also a lot of seasonal beers you don't see everywhere. The lady at the counter was friendly and knowledgeable. A great place to check out in the area!

Don't let the outside fool you. Stoney's has the best beer selection in Indianapolis. It has the tried and true local best sellers, but also great craft beers from all over the country. It's a go to place when you want to try something new.

I absolutely love Stoney's. The cramped little aisles are filled with the best craft beers. Or if you just want a sixer of a domestic, hey, that's ok, too! The prices are average to that of your local liquor store. $8-$9 for a craft brew, etc. At the register, you'll find Rose who will drum up some of the best and most interesting conversations ever. If Rose isn't there, you'll find a guy who's a bit more quiet and introverted. He always tells me to "Be careful out there," as if it's a zombie apocalypse. Nope, just the Beast side.

When my partner suggested visiting Stoney's Liquor for craft beer and mentioned its geographical location, I was like "Where? How?" and had low expectations. Shame on me for stereotyping, as Stoney's is an east-side craft beer haven, a true local gem for beer aficionados. I found many unique breweries and styles that I have not found elsewhere, such a rye bread gose from Urban Artifact's limited Epicurean line of beers and Prairie Artisan Lil' Nap blackberry-lime sour. Stoney's is small and the aisles are a bit cramped, but don't be turned off by the size; the search for unique beers will override the mild claustrophobia. There are a few shelves of discounted, "last chance" beers to check out, if you are looking for cost savings. Service was average friendly and the staff were familiar with regular customers. My only suggestion for improvement would to allow more "create-your-own" pack opportunities, so that customers can try as many unique beers as possible (instead of committing to a 4/6-pack).

Watched me like I was about to runaway with something never again and very over priced for the selection
