Elevated Beer Wine & Spirits

I visited this bottle shop on recommendation from a bartender at Surly. We were looking for off premise places to get some out-​of-​distro beers to take back to MO. The storefront is not as impressive as the shop’s beer selection, so don’t be discouraged. This place is A+ for all alcoholic beverages, but especially craft beer.
There was an immense selection of packaged beer, both chilled and warm, as well as 4 full aisles of single craft beers. They offered a 10% discount on any mixed 6 packs. They also organized their singles by style, as opposed to by brewery, which made it very easy to find the singles I wanted to take home.
I was perusing the chilled selection when Dan came up and asked if we were looking for MN only beer. I guess he could tell by our selections at the register what we were searching for. He helped me locate several MN brews such as Bent Paddle, Indeed and Surly, as well as suggesting other beers that we would enjoy.
We walked out of Elevated with 2+ cases and a new love of MN craft beer. When in MPLS again, I will be a repeat patron of Elevated. Thanks to Dan for all the suggestions! Cheers!

This place is the best. Awesome selection, and really friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Place is awesome, BUT I can never use my 5 $ reward because it has to be on a non sale item, nearly everything is on sale or I don’t want the things that aren’t on sale. I think it’s a dumb program, they know people can’t use it so why have it? I like the place anyway but I can’t give it 5 stars because of their promotion that doesn’t work for me.

People were super friendly with helping me find the right local beer I was looking for.
They had an amazing selection of beer to choose from, and you could make your own six pack and get 10% off

I love Elevated!
Great people, great shop and selection.
I love the design of this place. Some of their prices are relatively high but others are good.
They frequently have tastings (almost every time I go!) and allow dogs! They adore our pit bull and have done some events for local rescues.
Great store. It’s always just fun to go

I go here regularly when I’m in the area for my alcohol. I love this place! They may not be the biggest in size and selection, but they make the most out of the situation. I don’t know how they pulled of making the most of it, but they did everything right. I’m mostly a wine drinker. They always have a good stock on hand of what I like when I need it.
I love that they have a email list membership. That means when a person buys certain dollar amount every month, they get a coupon for their next visit. That is such a good way for me to save money. I can’t remember what the exact dollar amount is, but I get those coupons emailed to me every month. I love it!
The people there are always friendly and helpful when I’m there. On their slow times, I’ve held a couple good conversations with some of the employees. They are always helpful and resourceful whenever I need something. They also do a great job at keeping the place clean. I always feel comfortable when I’m in there.
This place won me over as a customer. I will continue coming back here as long as they keep up the good work.

I’ll definitely add another 5 star review to this bunch. Elevated is freakin’ awesome. They have a fantastic beer selection, the craft your own section has everything. Tons of refrigerated beer. The wine selection looks great, and they have a ton of cool looking spirits. They also have a loyalty program, where you spend a certain amount and get a discount, and it’s based on how much you buy in one month. Very sweet. Plus, the people who work there are super friendly, helpful, and fun.

This place is amazing. If you like trying new beers (this is definitely for you). Their make your own six pack is outstanding (kind of comparable to a mini library but with alcohol. Absolutely love the fact that I don’t have to stick with the same beverage in my six pack; I can have six different beers in one pack.
The employees are generally helpful and nice.

I don’t know why I waited so long to stop in! Incredible selection of beers and the awesome ability to build your own six pack. Bourbon selection is pretty good too — low brow to high brow. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Amazing selection. Often I have discovered a new brew here that I’ve yet to find elsewhere. Great service – someone is always willing to help me find the right beverage when I don’t know what I’m looking for.

It’s not often you see a mix-​your-​own sixer this extensive. There’s six large shelves, each loaded with beer and organized by style. Truly a thing of beauty, it is. Prices are decent and staff has so far been welcoming and helpful. I tend to judge liquor stores by asking the employee for a good IPA and seeing what their response is. I was recommended Stone’s Enjoy By 7.04.14 IPA and it was a real winner. Worth a stop if you’re on Hiawatha and driving past.

I like Elevated, a fairly new liquor store in the Longfellow neighborhood. It is very clean and modern feeling. They have great selection of craft beers and your standard liquor store finds. I like that you can create your own six-​pack there, as well.

There’s no other way to say it: I love this little beer and liquor store. The staff are always friendly and helpful and are very knowledgeable about their merchandise. They can always steer you toward items you might never have tried and they can always come up with good pairings for different foods. Their customer loyalty program helps you get discounts for the next month based on the current month’s purchases. Elevated may be a little small, but their selection and staff make it a great neighborhood spot.

I dig Elevated. Lots of craft beer that’s arranged by region, and they carry some of my favorite beermakers that you don’t see everywhere. Six-​packs are competitively priced, some a little more and some a little less than other places. But it all evens out. I’ve noticed their 12-​packs in the beer-​cooler room are very reasonably priced (Schell’s, Summit, especially). Elevated seems to get all the new and seasonal stuff in very quickly, and their create-​yer-​own six-​pack option is intriguing, if a little spendy sometimes.
Overall this is a great place; ’tis nice that they will give you a little discount each month for participating in their point-​of-​purchase customer tracking system. Employees are hip and friendly. Welcome to the neighborhood… I was getting sick of the other stores anyway. Beware in their parking lot… it’s a little tight.

I decided to check out Elevated after a friend told me about their photo booth and knowledgeable staff. A photo booth in a liquor store? This could be interesting.
I went 30 minutes before the ever-​disappointing Vikings vs. Green Bay game and the staff were all friendly and even helped me find the perfect beer to pair with tacos and fried chicken (Deschutes Mirror Pond in case you need this unique pairing). One feature I didn’t get to try out is the build your own six-​pack, which had a more than decent selection of beers to your very own masterpiece.
This particular evening they were sampling beers from Indeed Brewing. Here again the staff shared good info about this budding Northeast brewery.
Although Elevated isn’t close to me, I will definitely check it out again, especially since I was so preoccupied that I didn’t take a photo in the booth. I would recommend checking it out if you’re looking for a friendly experience when you’re shopping for craft brews, you may even learn a thing or two.

Super friendly staff who have provided this dilettante beer lover with great recommendations. Now, if only they could import Spotted Cow…
Plus, they have a photo booth!

Great new liquor store. Fantastic Staff… Unique Selection… Competitive Pricing. Tasting room is a wonderful touch. I come all the way from White Bear Lake because they always have what i need.

Great new addition to the neighborhood! Nice knowledgeable staff! I have visited several times since opening and every time I am greeted quickly with a smile and assistance. Elevated is right on Hiawatha making it a speedy stop, if you want it to be. I recommend hanging around for a moment. There is a mixer 6’er selection that is unmatched for the area, maybe even Minneapolis. 12 doors dedicated to craft beer six packs and bombers. Good selection of spirits as well as wine, but I haven’t done too much fishing around in those areas yet. The prices are in line with others, some are a buck less some are a buck more; beer prices are spot on.
